So far I've tried
Twicca
Twidroyd
Twitter (official)
I'm currently using Twicca but I'm not sure if I'm completely in love with it yet, nor any of the other two. I feel like I was spoiled by Echofon on the iPhone.
My favorites are Seesmic and Tweetcaster. I'm currently liking TweetCaster a little bit better.
I use Touiteur. I have tried the official twitter app and twitdroid but like Touiteur best.
Tuiteur, hands down... Amazing developer, tons of options, nice ui, preview of pics, all the services you expect, long press on a tweet to open links... On and on...
Only con is the name (french developer)... I always butcher the spelling.
I'm a bit of a twitter newbie, but I prefer the official one.

I like Tweetdeck, even in its beta form.
I just tweet, RT and send direct messages..got that i use an old app called "Twidgit"
it runs only as a widget, its free but its not on the market anymore.
if you need something light on the resources, you should try that.
TweetDeck takes all even in beta form hands down!
+1 For Tweetdeck, great app. The UI is plain and kinda fugly and I'm hoping for a widget but it works the best out of any app I've used.
Touiteur for me..has the best widget

It was Touiteur for me, but I'm a fan of Tweetdeck on my PC and it looks like they are gonna take my Android slot as well.

here's another vote for Touiteur
I'm about 50/50 on the Tweetdeck beta and Touiteur. Used Touiteur for 6-8 months, best of all I tried - when the Tweetdeck beta came out I started using that for a bit, but at the moment I'm back to Touiteur.
I like Tweetcaster a lot, and didn't like the official Twitter app, Twydroid, or Tweetdeck.
Here's my dilemma.
Between 8 and 5pm, I don't get a signal while at work so I don't check twitter. so I check it in the morning, and then after work, usually 9-10 hours between checking. On my old iPhone, I used an app called Tweetie and I loved it. It would remember my last read tweet in my timeline, and would load all new tweets on top of it, so I could simply scroll UP from my last read tweet and see all the subsequent new ones, in a nice neat sequential order from oldest to newest as I scrolled from bottom to top.
What I hate about all the other twitter apps I've used on Android so far is that I can't find one that works in the same manner as Tweetie. With Tweetcaster, given how long I go without checking tweets I have to "Load More" at least twice, and then it auto-scrolls to the very top and shows the newest tweet. I then have to scroll down to the last tweet I read, find the correct spot, and then work my way up. I find it annoying.
Tweetdeck Beta had an option called "Remember my place in Timeline" or something like that, but it never worked.
HELP ME

Touiteur was lagging and force closing like crazy for me so I switched to seesmic. I'm pleased so far.

Tweetcaster hands down
I was using touiteur but now I'm using tweetdeck.
Tweetdeck is how every Champion should tweet
Let me start by saying, i'm running stock untouched, unrooted, i turned it on and installed apps from the market, version of Gt10.1. It is the 32Gb version and came with 3.1 on it.
I've had my Gt10.1 for almost a week now and I must say that I'm stunned at the frequency of FC errors from various apps. I mean even my "Samsung Account" force closes after each restart.
Anyone else noticed that the screen isn't calibrated correctly. Seems I have to touch to the right of what I intend to select. This is particularly noticeable when selecting text in the browser or in text editors such as this app.
Should I reset to factory?
A lot of apps that work just find on my Epic4G are unstable or not available ... like where is facebook???? And how come nearly every game is either buggy or not available... EA games are just unsupported?
Is there a place anywhere that filters the marketplace by supported os version ? I.e. what is proven to work on HC 3.1

Facebook has been pulled from the tablet market for a while.
The samsung force close is on every tablet I think after reboot
I'd try resetting and see if that helps with the force closes and the screen inaccuracy. Maybe try not loading every app you had before. If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if you can get an exchange.
Yeah its disgracefull that samsung have released the tab with so many bugs. Im writing this now on my tab and the text cant even keep up with my typing...the whole gt 10.1 is an unpleasant experience, the amount of force closes is staggering and unaceptable. theres no filterin the market to show only tab apps, it gives off a high pitch noise after every selection from the speakers, theres no predictive text input, the video play back its utter crap,why dont the home buttons auto hide to give more screen space, reading books is awfull due to each page being out of focus for a split second before being displayed properly. Theres people with dust under the screen, oh and the batteru life is in my opinion well below stated. and last but definately not least yeah it does flash in websites but not 100% some sites work and some are awfull,,,,

I feel for u. I've resolved the laggy keyboard by sticking with either the Android keyboard or Thumb keyboard. Both perform excellently. My experience has been that hidden home buttons seem to be a per app behavior. Example. Kindle app does it beautifully. I also have not experienced the out of focus issue. The video / screen rendering is unparalleled. Ive only experienced poor battery stats when I'm streaming from a weak wifi connection.. like being tethered to my phone running 3g 3bars or less.

-There is a problem with the way the stock browser handles text selection in web fields, it's probably related to some of the JavaScript problems the browser has. Until it gets patched a workaround is to use the Opera web browser.
-There are a few lists that people have compiled of HC optimized apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
@richie_jones:
-Turn off audible selection under settings>sound
-The default Samsung keyboard has XT9 predictive text, but you have to go into settings to enable it first. There are also numerous alternative keyboards to use if you don't like that keyboard.
-Video playback is very good on the tab. But like every tablet on the market you should convert your video to mp4 first for optimum results, or use an alternate video player such as MoboPlayer, Rock Player, Vplayer etc. If you don't know how to covert video files then check this thread for some simple instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Yeah I believe the samsung force close is caused by an authentication issue on the samsung account. I looked in log with aLogCat after a force close (they always come at boot and always twice) and there was an exception logged from the samsung account app.
This happens when connected to a wifi network and also when not connected. Whatever causes it to bw unable to authenticate, the Samsung Account app certainly doesnt handle that condition well.
And finally, you think Samsung would have caught this one....
I took my Tab 10.1 back and got a Tab 7" instead. Honeycomb has a long way to go really, and all the issues the OP had I can attest to. Hardware was nice, slim and tight but given the software issues I couldn't justify the $500 tag when a 7" tab was going for $200 brand new. Very happy with my decision.

I reset to default and everything works perfectly now... the text SLOWNESS is limited to the default browser app.. I use either Opera or Dolphin now.
My only gripe now is with Samsungs advertisement or shall I say FALSE advertisement... this is not the tab they advertise. It does not have touchwiz, mini apps or Media Hub support

So you have no lag on the home screens when scrolling from one to the other, you have no typing lag on google browser. I don't think so....
Smooth it definitely is not"..."
no lag with he screens. Keyboard lag yes. Otherwise its running nice. It is a leaked tw rom that has been modified. I expect a custom rom based on the official release in a couple days.
I noticed some strange keyboard lag while typing up an email yesterday. I though it was my keyboard acting up(i use swiftkey 3) but I tested it on the stock samsung keyboard and the same thing happened. I then switched over to the Gmail app and tried it. Typing on the gmail app was as smooth as butter. I wonder if I could have a few of you give it a test for me.
I need a few of you extremely quick texters to open up the native samsung email application and compose a new email. Write a bunch of sentances as quick as you can without stopping. Try to rely on the auto correct feature. Any keyboard will do(stock samsung, swiftkey 3, or any other) I have found that the lag starts about 2 sentances in or sometimes sooner.
Do you have the same issue?
Yrah i notice it too, sometimes lag starts off right off the bat when writing an email. Also, i get some lag when scrollingbthrough the default web browser and xda app. A few minuted ago lag got so bad it took almost two seconds to scroll down half a page on the xda app.
Almost makes me feel like returning it. I was also only runing xda app and the browser.

I am thinking that its not the phones fault. I also have lqg in those apps you mentioned but I have no lag in the Gmail appa and others. I think these are fixable software bugs and they can be fixed.

My rom is an official rooted stok ics and, despite I've also unistalled and installed FB app, I can't see timeline. Instead I have it with the same app on the phone... do you have a clue?
There's another fb app thread here.
It seems the app hasn't been fine tuned at all for Android and various devices.
narrow column
cropped photos
screen caps (if you're sharing games in a game group) are cropped in half...so annoying.
IIRC actually, I think my gal tab 10.1 DID display Timeline fine. IT doesn't on the 8.9.
On my 8.9 it sometimes shows timeline, but as of the moment it doesnt, cant even view photos or albums now

Facebook app for android is just [email protected] It seems they didn's spend much time in devoloping it.
I hope further versions will be better
Hi, I don't know guys how, but it may have to do something with cm10 JB 4.1.2 because since I installed that version, Facebook app just works fine. Proper timeline, photos, etc.
I find the website is way better than the app. In most cases it's faster too.
Hi all.
Bought a 2nd hand Nexus 10 last Friday. Anyway, while getting round to rooting my device today I used a number of browsers over the weekend. I used Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox.
First off Firefox seemed to have rendering issues on web pages and scrolling was juddery. Dolphin had blank spaces with web pages and also had juddery scrolling. Chrome crashed my device
I have just installed AOSP browser and web browsing is now super fast. I am a long time fan of AOSP browser and so glad to have it on my device now. Pages load up in milliseconds. Rendering is perfect. Scrolling is silky smooth. I can now feel the power of the A15 cpu's.
Why Google persist with Chrome I will never now.
Long live AOSP browser!

Well chrome is a lot more improved in 4.3 update. No crashes and faster loading but i also still prefer aosp browser. It seems smoother still.

I still feel AOSP better than chrome in 4.3, not sure about chrome beta.
TBH I was using Chrome Beta when I had the reset. But I have read that Chrome can also cause this on the N10.
I did like Chrome originally but it just seems to have got progressively worse. Performance was bad on my Nexus 7 and that's what caused me to try AOSP again and I loved it. I also put it on my Nexus S because Chrome was just unusable on that phone.

Never had quite as much trouble as everyone else with Chrome, but it certainly is no speed king. The big reason people would use Chrome is for the value-add features, such as tab syncing.
Tab syncing? I rarely used that but it's a neat feature. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice everything that AOSP brings to the table just for that one feature.

For me, it's a make-or-break. Password syncing would have been nice too before I switched over to Dashlane, but it's why I'm somewhat eyeing a switch to Firefox as desktop Chrome has started behaving erratically for me. I try to use one piece of software whenever I can, so Chrome having much of what I wanted built in ruled out the AOSP browser as my default.

I think he means the ability to see what was just open on the tablet from say a phone or PC and continue browsing.. heck even back button history is there to use as well... very handy when swapping out devices like I do. I'll deal with the minor annoyances for that feature.

As above, I mean tab syncing. I don't use bookmarks anymore (haven't for a long time), so that feature is sadly useless to me on any browser that offers it. Being able to pick up my browsing session roving from device is important when you have around seven.
Yeah I understand. Chrome to phone. To me that is a feature I rarely use.
Dude why do you need 7 devices on the go at the same time ?

I use Dophin. Everything working fine. No problems at all.
You may also want to try Boat Browser.
Aosp is the best. However when I want to use a site like rapidshare etc I use opera as in the other browsers it doesn't download.
Second for dolphin.
The only thing that really keeps me on dolphin is the startup screen. All my favorite websites a touch away.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Dolphin, Boat, and pretty much any browser in the Play Store are just skins over the AOSP rendering engine. Performance is either going to be the same or slightly slower than AOSP because they add a little bloat on top. The only exceptions are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera - those three use their own custom rendering engines and show significant performance differences. But at the moment, they all seem to be much slower than AOSP.
I'm kind of torn on the issue.
I prefer Chrome's UI and features. The smoothness advantage of AOSP browser isn't big enough to make up for that for me.
I find scrolling is handled better by Chrome as well. If you scroll quickly, AOSP browser can't keep up rendering the page and just starts showing the page background. Chrome can keep up better and will generally render it, although at a lower quality until you stop scrolling. I find that preferable as well.
It's a shame Chrome isn't as smooth, especially when zooming. It can really diminish the experience.
I used Naked Browser myself. Though installed I rarely use Chrome and Ocean Browser.
I was a long time user of dolphin until about 2 months ago. Memory leak issues, FC's... I then transitioned to boat, but for some reason that had issues rendering pages that would lead to FC's. I've been using AOSP for about 1 week and it's been hassle free so far.

Chrome to phone involves another add-on and it's not quite as useful as tab syncing for my uses.
And who said anything about needing? Some people spend discretionary income on beer or cars; I choose to collect shiny electronics instead and tinker around with them. It also comes in handy for when a friend breaks something and I can supply a lending unit for a while until their warranties catch up.
