Anyone know of a quality social stream widget application? I used to use launcher pro's friends widget but now running ICS roms, I miss it.. anyway, any suggestions?

You could try my app, Sonet. It supports Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Buzz, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Google+ (read only), RSS, and SMS. It's scrollable on Honeycomb and ICS and very customizable. I welcome any suggestions or feature requests.

Your widget is really great! Its replacing wizz on my home screen
The scrolling is really smooth!
The pop up dialog when I click on a fb status or a tweet doesn't seem to be the way to do it, its slow and doesn't feel as seamless as the rest of this widget is. Most other friendstream clone widgets do this with a full screen view, but maybe a better looking pop up is the answer. Something like the ICS power dialog might work if there aren't a ton of comments. Speaking of comments, its probably not necessary to have "0 comments" at the bottom of every post in the stream, but that's just a polish thing.
Is there a thread where its more appropriate to dump UX ideas on you and your app? You've got the potential for a must have ICS app!

Thank you! I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss UX ideas, but I definitely want to hear them! Issues can be logged on the github site, https://github.com/piusvelte/sonet-pro/issues, so that's an option. Honestly, I often just get emailed feature requests, piusvelte at gmail dot com, so that's another option. I want to discuss the pop-up function, as it attempts to do a lot, but I don't know a better way to handle that. What is the ICS power dialog? I don't know that I've seen it. Thanks again!

Any particular reason nothing from facebooks shows up in it?. And yes I have added my facebook account and authenticated it.

When you tap on your widget, and go to Accounts and Settings, you'll see your Facebook account displayed. Does it say that it's enabled or disabled for that widget? Also, are any other account posts displaying? Have you tried manually updating the widget by tapping on the widget and selecting "Update"? Thank you for trying my app!
It shows as Enabled, but when I hit update it only updates the twitter posts and doesn't show any new FB ones. But it also said "no new posts" when I first added facebook to the widget.

This is odd. Do you have any particular Facebook permissions set which might block the Sonet app? Can you tap on your Facebook account and see what the number of statuses to show is set as under settings? Could you try disabling Twitter to try just updating Facebook? Thanks for your patience with this!
I just tried and there shouldn't be any permissions blocking Sonet from synching, but the second i deactive twitter and click update Sonet just shows "No posts" or "no new posts"

Hmm. This is the first that I've heard of this happening. Can you load the facebook.com site in your browser while connected to the same network from which you're trying to load posts? Could you please install "Log Collector" from the Play Market and send me a log shortly after attempting to "Update" the widget? Thank you!
You want a log from just when your widget is connecting to FB, or from both your app and the browser?

Just for updating the widget, please and thank you!
Facebook in the browser works fine. the official Facebook widget works fine. But I will grab a log of my phone jsut as it updates Sonet on FB.
---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------
The log I have grabbed doesn't seem right cause there is no mention of Sonet etc inside it. When I do leave facebook as the only active part it does say "Updating Content" but then changes to "No New Posts" after a short while.
Can it be that because I have the facebook app, and thus the widget that it is "clearing" the new tag meaning that Sonet wont download them?
OK guys, I have seen several threads in various handset forums on this but I can't seem to make any of the suggestions work.
As the title suggests I "just" want to forward an email BCC to a group in my contacts.
If I just select forward in the email itself I can get the BCC box up but can't get a group to show up there.
If I go into contacts and select the group I can send them an email ok but it is, of course, blank. I can find no way to attach/insert the contents of the email that I want to send (as in outlook where you can attach another email).
I'm using GMail BTW so I find it hard to believe that two apps by Google cannot integrate well enough to do such a simple job
Does anyone know a way to achieve this?
Or, does it work in the stock Email app or another 3rd party app?
Try K9 mail.it has a button to forward to cc bcc. The default mail program sucks ass...

Just in case you can't find the option as it doesn't appear straight away. Press forward then menu button and then you see"add cc bcc"...
Does K9 mail find groups in To/BCC box?

Thanks bengaz, I'll give it a go.
Although I can forward bcc the email but I can't get it to show a group that I have set up when I start typing the name of the group into into either To or BCC box.
Does K9 mail show up groups when you type the name in the To/BCC box?
Hi guys. I have an NTG and use aCalendar but I'm not fully satisfied. For example I can't create new events.
Just curious what everyone around here recommends. It would need to sync to gmail calendar.
Thanks!

I installed Calendar Pad of MoaiApps (sorry, XDA doesn't let me post a direct link). Haven't used it much, but so far it seems to work fine
I use touch calendar and it fully syncs with Google calendar.

Thank you! Calendar Pad seems to be sufficient for my needs

It's a shame Calendar Pad doesn't show the location in the week view, aCalendar is much more attractive, if only it allowed adding entries!

I've just noticed, you can use the great looking aCalendar to add appointments.
Just go to it's settings and near the bottom you have settings for New Event. Tick the box for 'External editor' then when you add an appointment tick to always use the default Android calendar app. Then it seems to work perfectly.
The problem I have is that I can't set a secondary gmail account to auto sync the calendar, just the primary one. Anybody else managed to get a second account syncing?
This old version of Android doesn't allow calendar syncing with more than one gmail account.
The solution is simple though - simply add the second calendar to your primary gmail account's calendar, then it will be selectable and synced on the Nook.
I had the same problem. I needed more simplistic approach to the whole calendar. I was surprised to see that ColorNote has a calendar too. It perfect for simple note taking and events it has some synchronization features as well.
How do I get gmail and hangouts to notify me in real time on the watch?
All you get with those apps is an alert that you have a notification. You have to go to the phone to read it. Are you not getting any alerts at all?

You should change the title of your post to "How DO I". I came here thinking you wrote up a tutorial.
Hey Cheryl ... Do you know it does it display the email across the gear? Or just an alert that you have a new email and who its from

When you go to either text or email alert in the gear with samsung apps, you can view the entire email or text, brilliant.

Gmail works under the following conditions. .
1) you must have pop3 enabled in your Google account (not your phone in your actual Google account )
2] you use the stock email app (not the Gmail app)
3) install your Gmail as pop3 using push option.
You also need to make sure notifications are turned on for your phone and within the gear app.

Or.....
Use the gmail app and turn on gmail notifications in gear manager since they're off by default. Works for me.
So if I have microsoft exchange programmed to my phones default email address app. Will I be able to get notifications on the watch and read contents?

Now on my watch it just shows that you have a gmail message but it says to open it up with the mobile device. Where and how can I get the Gmail app working on the watch?
I don't want to use the Samsung default email app, its junk.

I'm new to Samsung and Touchwiz. It appears there is a "feature" where the Note 4 is disconnecting from WiFi hotspots that require login.
In the past I have used the "Wifi Web Login" app to autoconnect to these. The samsung feature breaks this ability.
Anyone know how to disable this?
Ultimately I want to be able to:
1. autoconnect to known hotspots
2. if it requires login, then auto login
This was not a problem on any of my old phones.
Thanks for your help.
Dan
The first time connecting to a login secured wifi you should see a notification pop up in the notification bar. Click on it,it will take you to the web based login screen.
If the notification does not appear, open the stock browser and you will be redirected to the login page.
After that it will remember the login info next time you are at that same place

Thanks chrisgto4 but this is not automated. I dont mind using an external app to automate, if the Wifi service would let me.
