Dear XXXXX XXXXXX,
It's great to hear back from you. You are correct that the Friend Stream widget was removed from the interface. This is a design decision that we understand you have differences with, so I will forward your feedback on the matter. While not officially supported, there are applications on the Play Store that can create shortcuts to hidden applications so you can still launch Friend Stream via one of these apps if you want.
XXXXXXX, your phone does support a social lock screen, however. To enable this we would navigate to Settings>Personalize, then tap on Lock Screen Style. Now we can scroll over to the Friend Stream option and tap on apply. When you unlock your screen you will get the most recent updates in your social networks.
Thank you again for reaching out to HTC. Best regards.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXX
HTC
I find it really odd that they would remove it. It was one of the widgets that really set Sense apart from other overlays. It's definitely the one I used most. I've tried many other Twitter/FB apps, but none of them had widgets that matched the usability of Friend Stream. I was thinking they'd update it in future versions of Sense to include more social networks, but it looks like they're just giving up. Sad to see it go.
Unfortunately Sense was under fire for being too bloated. Friend Stream was a casualty. It must have some resource weight, only reason I could see it being dropped.
Really not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so apologies if that's not the case.
I like dropbox's Camera Upload feature, but quite often I find that it will saturate my internet connection and everything else on my network struggles. Especially if it is uploading video recordings off my phone.
Is there a way to place a speed limit to the data upload rate? Kind of like a bandwidth limiter for Android?

Many Android kernels got support for traffic shaping, so you can use the "tc" shell command to implement what you need. Maybe there's some rooted app able to manage this for you, since it's quite a tricky task.
But this is not such a good idea. Instead you should implement the traffic shaping in your WiFi/Internet router. If it doesn't support it native, I suggest you try some other software for it, e.g. OpenWrt, DD-WRT or Tomato.

Thanks.
I have Tomato installed on an Asus RT-N66U router, but the bandwidth limiting options only work for LAN connections and not WLAN it seems.
A rooted app that puts a limit on a per app basis would be something I'd be happy to pay for.

Hard to believe it's not working for WLAN connections, and even if so, you can apply the rules on the outbound Internet connection scheduling on source addresses. I.e. you can chose to implement the restrictions on either the receive- or transmit site. Do some more reading on QoS and I'm quite sure you'll manage to implement it as you need. But it IS tricky, even with the Tomato GUI, and would be as tricky as well using a rooted Android app.
And since I know it's not a such a good idea to implement traffic shaping in the Android itself, I'm not going to write this app.
Hey, I'm looking over internet for this exact thing, problem is my Galaxy Tab is hugging my internet, I need to limit it to say, 100kb/s up and down. My router is A-Link WNAP 3G router.
It would be even better to limit all WLAN traffic to 100kB/s because my computer is hooked with an ethernet cable :victory:
Can someone help me ?

You are very wrong that it isn't a good idea to implement traffic shaping. All new cloud applications have Camera upload feature which clogs the upload of the whole network and then you cannot even surf with your computer while photos are uploaded (not to say videos).
Traffic shaper would solve this things for sure! I would even pay for that app on appstore.
I used bandwidth ruler from the play store to limit upload speed in my galaxy SIII and it works like a charm. but that requires root to work ,

Dear Friend,
did you get what you was looking for?
because i am looking for an App which can control all or Each/ individual app to upload the files. likewise
google+ Google photos, Google hangout, Etc. which i hate the most to upload my photos . for them i have rooted my note4 and install AVAST Anti-Virus + Firewall to prevent the app to access the net .
Because i know what app we allow to access the internet they take away our personal information along with videos and photos which we don't know because our smartphones are 24/7 connected with DSL hight speed internet.
These type of Apps are fully controlled by the remote server to takeaway our data with minimum speed like 10KB to 30KB per mint.
I have already block the apps to access in the internet, but some reason i have to disable firewall, then most of the apps try to get updates, i need an app which can control /allow the app to upload in Bites not in KB or MB.
if you have something like that please advise
awaiting your reply
Thanks
Ismail
As everyone knows, GPS cold-start is very slow.
Is anyone aware of an app which would kick off GPS after reboot so that it acquires the basic satellite and location information needed to do a warm- or hot-start later on? Seems like it would be an easy thing to do -- probably preferably delayed so that other more important boot-time processes can do their thing.
Note I'm not interested in one of those scripting apps, I'd prefer a dedicated app, if one exists.
Is there really no setting or config that I can get the default normal Samsung View TVServices page? I have ATT but I have TimeWarner and would prefer to have that quick menu for twitch/TimeWarner/HBOGo.....but literally any and everywhere I click it launches DirectTV. If anyone has any suggestions they'd be greatly appreciated!
Nope. On the AT&T version DIRECTV is hard-coded as the app launched as the Streaming home page. I deactivated it and disabled the little streaming launcher icon. Like you, I'd like to use it for the other streaming channels on it also but it is what it is. We have LTE through and no other View on the planet does as far as I know.

Thanks for the response, at least now I can stop searching lol. I had tried about 50 different things. Kind of annoying they have it locked to that extent but as you say, it is LTE.
Who's to say, when someone monitors their live cams, he or she is neglected as to variability of informent implementation. (by means of checking on security cams).*Ultimately, my inquisition would be to put a live link broadcast url via home background. In Andriod, by the off chance, is this at all plausible to make an app .... or .apk with .sdk?"cs2.pixelcaster.com:1935/ x|x live/hbpier5.stream/playlist.m3u8" this is my suggested web address, I am not too sure of capability or if that is the compatible format for driod to utilize.
