Hi All,
I was just curious what weather app / weather widget do you guys and gals recommend?
I currently use TWN (The Weather Network) app and widget but just recently found out that it keeps the phone awake for a long period of time. Today alone I have had my phone on for 4 hours and it has kept it awake for 45mins of that time. That's not acceptable to me. Please let me know what options you guys use as I will be looking for alternative apps. Thanks.
I snagged the weather bug elite free on amazon whenever they did the free app a day.
any apps for free that automatically update your location
I use fancy widget pro. there's a free version but the pro version is worth paying for. it has awesome skins available and isn't too hard on battery:thumbup:

i use the weater app, digital clock, google search bar, yahoo finance, and month calendar.

seriously?
could you recommend alternatives that dont affect battery as much?
BS! I have original clock, email. IM, agenda and weather widgets, and also whatsapp, battery widget and xda, and at night I lose about 1 pct / hour when the phone is off.
Don't think all original widgets suck (lol) because I am sure they don't.
That is with gprs on, no email sync.

Well guys, if i shut down data the phone uses 1% per 2 hours.
İ guess the battery consumption is the result of a bug in the data line?
You can also put it on EDGE..

thanks for your response david.
among all the stock widgets i use, im kinda suspect of the yahoo financial widget. it switches between my 5 chosen stocks every so often but sync is set to never/manual.
as an occasional forex trader and for general finance, i find the widget quite usefull plus it looks kickass
im wondering if other people have some experience with the widget.
I just got into using twitter for my music, what is your favourite twitter app and why?
I'm only using the stock Twitter application since there are so many and I'm not sure which is good.

I'm a big fan of Twicca
I haven't really used any Twitter app other than Twitter and falcon. I'm using falcon at the moment and I like how the widget works. Nice and simple with notifications on new tweets, refresh and do on.

I like using Tweetcaster. Suits my needs very well and has a lot of options. I'm super fond of the image filter. Hope that helps in your search.
Falcon pro and the falcon widget

Boid, holo themed, open source, improved my battery a bit when I switched to it and friendcaster (Facebook). Try them all!

I have the paid version of Plume, love the multiple columns and embedded pictures.
Tweetcaster serves my needs

I go between Slices and the stock twitter.
falcon pro.
I'm using tweetings. Switched because the official twitter app doesn't have a tablet version for my nexus 7.

Plume here mainly because it had the nicest looking widget
Falcon Pro for Twitter. How fluid the app is, inline website viewing, and ease of access to lists and list management.
I previously used Boid and loved it until they stopped developing it, have they been releasing updates for it since it became open source? Other twitter apps I love are Echofon and Tweetlanes.
Falcon Pro. I rarely buy apps but I did for this. Definitely worth it

Definitely Falcon Pro

Another vote for Plume, although it sounds like I need to check out Falcon, I haven't heard of that one.
I like Plume because it has thumbnails of images in tweets - although some don't like that. As mentioned before the widgets are good also.
Used to be on plume used tweetings then found twidere which is the same same as tweetings but free, no ads.
Anyone got news of Carbon for twitter apps... Was supposed to come out in end August or beginning of October can't remember..

What he said. I use only Falcon Pro. It was worth the price in my opinion.
Hi guys,
Here's the new Facebook Home app for people who can't download from Google Play Store.
Update first your Facebook and Facebook Messenger app and install the Facebook Home app attached.
There is already a thread for this mate... Why make another???

Thanks. I do updated now but this app which regions to install?
Anyone know if the Messenger uses SMS to send receive FB messages? Or does it just integrate FB with SMS. Don't want to pay AT&T for SMS
he wanted some thanks obviously

Agree. He wanted to make his thanks meter to reach 1000. Look now he has 1001. Maybe he's,trying to make it over 9000!!
Actually, according to time stamps this one was first by a couple of hours. I closed the one in General and redirected traffic to this thread.
I probably won't keep it, but the home app is not that bad as a lockscreen. Lockscreen serves no purpose anyway, so... Once you realize you can keep your launcher inside intact, it is not so bad.
What would be really cool is if somebody made like a Flipboard lockscreen app like FB home.

Who'd ever want to replace a beautiful android UI just to access live feeds quickly?
BTW, i hate this app.
I wonder what profit would Facebook make from HTC First.

kinda have to agree. tried it out for 5 mins, no quick access to normal apps and the newsfeed kinda sucks. uninstalled after 5 mins. I'm sure they'll improve on it though....
Very Useless app.Work as a launcher.it is not good.Normal FB app is enough for me

I'm looking for an sms widget that allows you to compose from the widget itself. Play store doesn't seem to have any except one that requires EZ Launcher, which I'm not using.
I'd like to be able to compose an sms via a popup widget that I access from Action Launcher 2.0 beta Quickpage (an awesome new feature)

Someone on Google+ said Sliding Messenger can do this. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks.

Hey guys,
I just got the G4 (Tmobile) recently coming from a Galaxy S4(Verizon VRUAME7) and I was wondering if there are any SMS widgets out there like the touchwiz one (or whatever was on the S4). I'm still getting used to the phone and 5.1, but I am hoping that there is a similar widget available due to me finding it so useful when texting throughout the day. Thanks in advanced!
Search!
I always use APW. There widgets are the best in my opinion
