Hi all,
Is it only me who feels bad about official twitter app - I mean bad performance & lag on GN 4.0.2?

Go to settings and turn on GPU acceleration. It makes pretty much everything faster and without lag.
Use Seesmic - by far the best twitter client imo.

This, sort of. It will make twitter run smooth but some apps won't work altogether with it enabled. (Just some examples Capital One Mobile app, and Asphalt 6).

have you tried TweakDeck yet? its what was originally TweetDeck until Twitter bought them and stripped the best features from it.

with gpu accerleration selected im sorry i can't agree with this thread. twitter works perfect with no lag at all when this is selected, i honestly don't know how much faster you can expect this to be. and this is someone who owns every pro version of every twitter app

Yeah have tried them all, but keep going back to seesmic. Even though it FC's sometimes on ICS..
Just played with Twitter on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S Vibrant (with Passion ICS) and it seems like it's noticeably quicker at scrolling and opening tweets on my Vibrant.
Weird. It still works well enough on the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not bothered by it. Kinda surprised though that it is a bit slower, I guess the larger screen, dunno.
Thank you all...
I tried them all. I prefer hootsuite. But recently I wanted to try the official twitter app (never tried the new design version before). I like the rich features it has and the design. But the last few days was bad experience with this app. It lags. The drag to refresh keeps running so when i get back to app, I often don't find my time line at the same position I left it.
Thanks for the new thing I learnt now: 2d GPU rendering. Yes I noticed smoothness but some other apps were distorted, e.g., mynetdiary and hootsuite itself.

Replying to tweets is noticeably slower on my phone than my girlfriend's myTouch 4G. I think it's just an optimization thing as I believe AP or AC did an article on the slowness of the app on ICS. It is what it is...

Yes i get bad lag on the official twitter app too. Gpu hardware enabled does not help at all either. But its always been like this for me and the twitter app had identical lag on my atrix too. So i always thought this app had issues, not my phones.
I'm not really fussed about the speed of Twitter, I just wish it would sync my Twitter friends and contacts..... Constantly get a "Sync Error".

Best to switch to a different Twitter app. using 2D rendering might benefit the official Twitter app but might work against other apps.

The twitter app is VERY choppy. Whether its scrolling quickly, or even refreshing, the app stutters horribly. I'm still unrooted. Could rooted and stock users give feedback?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Rooted LTE running Android Rev. HD 2.1.1 and I still have this as well. Looks like it's not using HW rendering even though I have it forced.
Thanks for the info
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Its because they didn't enable HW Rendering in the app itself. Even though you have forced it, doesn't mean the app will allow it. Stupid really, they should know ICS is HW Rendering supported.
Noticing similar choppiness in a number of 3rd party apps which is a shame. The core GApps give a hint of what is to come one HW Acceleration is enabled by default in the majority of apps.
Regards.
I wasnt fond of stock twitter app at all either i find myself using tweetcaster pro
after flashing a 4.0.3 rom the choppyness has gone away for me even the browser is smooth now

I'm guessing Google forced the rendering on
Yea I have emailed them, but they don't seem to care about their Android version very much. I didn't get a response and updates have been slow in the past. Probably going back to Plume.
Same. Gotta use Twicca for now. The only thing I like about the stock app is the official support for photos native API.

So I knew they would get updates today but just letting some people know I just checked and I had like 8 updates from the Play store. Chrome, Books, G+, Maps and a few other things I use all got updated.
Yep and the new YouTube is Awesome looking.
Edit. Damn Google + got a major UI overhaul too. Me likes.

The new Google Maps is AMAZING! I just wish Chrome was compatible with Gingerbread!
Can someone please post an HD version of the latest YouTube app? They actually like our phones aren't HD capable when they clearly are. If not, I'll just continue to use my older version
Dang. It's great to be on ICS right now with all these updates.
Glad Google is doing it's best at I/O
YouTube app crashing on CM9 A5
Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm running CM9 Alpha 5 and all of these updates are good except YouTube which is crashing before opening. The only way to watch videos for me is within chrome.
Update: Solved by reinstalling the app from the new jelly bean market which imbonez9 posted here
Any recommendations for Twitter apps?
I use tweakdeck on my Galaxy Nexus and used Tweetcaster on my Transformer Prime, but I am trying to get used to this form factor!

Plume. The landscape columns are perfect for me concerning list management. Only reason I haven't looked for another Twitter client with decent tablet features.

Official Twitter, despite having no tablet UI.
I'm very particular about twitter clients, I would be using Twica if it would show replies to somebody's tweet - which it doesn't. And a bunch of other clients don't show trending topics or look downright ugly.
Thanks for the replies, I am trying out TweetLanes!

TweetCaster Pro on my Galaxy Nexus had that functionality and I can't get it on the tablet. If I'm missing something please let me know.
I really wish there were more choices with TweetMarker support besides just that and Plume. Tweetbot is by far the iOS app I miss most on Android, I only hope something can compare eventually.

Scope, use it for tumblr and twitter.
Is there a Twitter client which synchronises your position in your timeline over multiple devices? For example, if I check my timeline on my phone I then have to remember how far I got when I later check it on my N7, and then repeat back and forth every time I use the other device.
Oh wow, nice - I missed that he updated his app for the N7!
Haven't tried it on my N7 but I like Ubersocial on my phone.

You're looking for TweetMarker support and so far your only two options are TweetCaster and Plume. Note that it has to be enabled in settings on both devices before it'll work.

Currently using the official app and Scope if I want to share on Facebook at the same time too.

I'd been using Plume for a while on my Desire and never come across this functionality. Have just added Plume to my N7 and it works a treat. Thanks
As today Facebook app got a new update but I still feel that it's not quite good enough because of very slow speed, old UX& ... (as the app always was)
I'd like to know which app you use for Facebook recently.
I've tried Scope beta for few weeks, love the idea but still buggy and slow.
Thanks for sharing guys!

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.
I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.
Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever
It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??
I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.
What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.
No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.

It doesn't matter to seem what ROM or android OS version I use since ICS. Chrome lags so badly it is unusable... anyone else have this problem? is there a solution?
I have the exact same experience with Chrome. I just stick to the stock browser though. Much faster, smoother and it syncs with google services.
Have I helped? Don't forget to make love to that "Thanks" button!
I quit using stock browser, only use chrome, no issues hrre

It's a Google browser.
So it syncs with Google just like chrome does.
Current Devices: At&t Samsung Galaxy Note, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Asus Google Nexus 7 Super Tablet
Current Roms: Skynote 7 (Note 2), AOKP (Galaxy Nexus), Nexus 7 Stock
For me, it's still Dolphin or bust.
The stock browser, not Chrome, is by my favorite on my N7 though.

Dolphin drains my battery way too much. It's fast but I love the leanness of naked browser. Have you guys tried chrome beta.. rumor has it that it runs much better
I use chrome on my laptop too so it syncs between my phone and computer.
Actually, on earlier CM9 nightlies Chrome would choke and be unusable, but on AOKP and other roms, it'd perform quite well. I guess it might be a memory leak.
Not to try and discredit you in any way, but Chrome works fantastically for me. No lag whatsoever.
Sv: Gnexus simply can't handle chrome browser?
Chrome all the way here. No problem

I'm running latest aokp builds and notice (and have noticed on prior builds) scrolling being jumpy and not smooth. I don't notice any lag in terms of page loading but the scrolling jumpiness is a real turn off for me. I stick with the stock browser.
Chrome works OK on stock roms and on PA, but I prefer stock browser. It's more stable and faster.
