Hi
I'm looking for a widget that shows just one specific Facebook page. Not updates from all friends or feeds, just one page I administer.
Does this exist?
Thank you,
-Ambious
It is possible you can get a widget with my app WebLiveWallpaper (which also is a widget despite the name) configured:
xda thread is here - download is in the first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931740
It can display any page the browser can show on your phone as a widget (or live wallpaper). But setup is not so easy and password protected websites will not work most of the time and the app still has some problems on some phones.
Better than nothing, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks
edit: Didn't work, couldn't get it to show a page and update it, just pictures.
Not even the website examples like Times?

I searched. Unless my search-fu is weak, I couldn't find my anwser.
I like Timescape (OMG?! i kno rite) teasing me a side, I would like to know if there is some way I can change the default app that Timescape uses.
An example; If I click on a Facebook post in Timescape, it loads the internet browser. I would like it to load the Android Facebook app instead. Same with Twitter. I would like it to load my twitter app instead.
This option is available for text messaging. When I open a text message from Timescape the first time, it asked me what I wanted to open it with, Handcent or the default Messaging.
Thanks !
You can't change the FB and Twitter element of this in the current implementation of TS.. I'm just hoping they allow us to change the defaults when the new version comes out later this year.
Anyone know if this is possible yet? Can't find any other topic on this for x10...
Do I get a cookie for "old thread revival"?
I hope I'm just being really dumb here, but I can't work out how to view friends' albums on Facebook on my prime (using the official app).
When I browse a profile on my phone using the same app, I get the - About - Friends - Photos - Likes thumbnails, but not on my Prime.
Anyone else noticed this?
facebook seems to update like every three days, honestly your better off making a shortcut in your web browser and using their mobile site, its touch oriented and works better than any app i have used. You can also get your notifications from facebook going to your email so you can get notifications when people message you or whatever in email instead of in the notification bar and it still takes you directly to the content.
Sure its an extra button press but thats what works well for me. YMMV.
Was kind of expecting a 'use the browser' response, which is fair enough I guess.
Just wondered why the feature was removed or if it's just hidden somewhere.
I prefer using apps to browsers.
I've been on Android about 6 months now. First I had a Galaxy Note & now I have a Galaxy Note 2. In that time I've tried around 30 email clients (some free & some paid versions) but I've still not some across a client that can offer me some (what I consider) very simple features.
What I'd like the client to do is:
1. Be able to resize within the email view so I can see the whole email (or at least the width of it if the mail is longer than one page length). This is such a simple thing but the only one I've found that does this is the official Hotmail client but that brings with it a whole load of other issues... Even the Gmail client doesn't let you do this & you're forced to scroll around the screen trying to put together a virtual jigsaw puzzle in your head of what the whole email should look like.
2. Be able to set an option in the settings to always allow images. Again a simple feature. Something similar to the Gmail app would also be OK where you set it for each sender separately.
3. Always display as HTML.
4. Push notifications that display the message title/sender in the notification.
Hopefully someone knows of such a client but I haven't found one yet.
Thanks for your help people.

Have you tried Enhanced Email? It does all these things that you're looking for.

Thanks. I downloaded Enhanced Email from the play store. It does most of the stuff but doesn't let you know the source or title of the incoming mail. Just tells you that you have new mail.
Also having some problems with formatting emails in mobile view.
It's probably the best I've tried though.
You probably won't find an email client that tells you the sender and title because usually people receive multiple emails at a time from various senders.
And try K 9 mail

Having used enhanced email for a few days I can say that it's definitely not up to use full time. When ever I reboot my phone it deletes my Hotmail account, it doesn't notify properly, has no push for Gmail, can't format html into mobile view effectively & has a poor gui. Very expensive for why it does.
I have tried K9 before & unless it's been updated recently there isn't an option to resize an email so that the while mail is displayed at once is there?

What do you mean resize your email? You can pinch to zoom in it though, I used it a week or so ago

Yes, you can pinch to zoom but I'd like to display the whole email on screen at once & then decide which part of the email I'd like to zoom into (if any). K9 & most other Android clients don't allow this. The only app that I've found that can do this at all is the official Hotmail app but the rest of the app is so basic its shocking. It doesn't allow you to always show images & on my current phone its a 3 click process to show images (in every mail you view). It also truncates all mails to a maximum of 100kb do anything over this takes a further 3 clicks to display properly. Very poor.
Try Aquamail. I absolutely love it, and it has all these features. Their mobile view is the main reason I use it. Make sure you pick up the latest beta version 4 here: www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=217
The mobile view used to be incorporated into the appstore version. The developer took it out temporarily, and it is only in the latest beta.
Alright, I know asking for app suggestions isn't looked highly upon, but I've spent literally hours over several days trying to find apps that will do what I'm wanting. I got two Xooms for my grandparents for Christmas so my family can keep up a little better. I want to give them an easy way to see pictures that members of my family upload. My sister largely uses Facebook, I use both Facebook and Google+, and my parents use Google+. Most apps only show your own albums (especially when it comes to G+/Picasa). My grandparents obviously don't have their own albums - they'll want to see our pictures. I need an app that meets the following:
Tablet compatible
Ability to integrate Facebook and Google+ albums in one place
Ability to browse friends' albums on both services, not just your own albums
Bonus points for notifications
Bonus points for free/ad-free
I'm also looking for a good weather app. I swear, I've tried them all. I'm looking for:
Tablet compatible
Temperature in notification bar
Some sort of widget
Show detailed 7- or 10-day forecast
Show radar (they live in Florida . . . )
Bonus points for free/ad-free
So . . . suggestions?
While I'm working, I keep my device on a charging stand and let it display pictures etc. I'd like to instead stream my Twitter feed. Does anyone know of a app that will continually scroll the feed as new tweets arrive? I don't want to have to touch it to refresh it. I've tried the original twitter app and a 3rd party one called Talon so far and neither can do that.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
