Clever and fast Tweet It! Twitter client gets updated with new features, improvements

Clever and fast Tweet It! Twitter client gets updated with new features, improvements

Tweet It!

Like shoes, Twitter clients are a personal preference where one size doesn’t fit all. We all have our favorites and Tweet It! happens to be one of mine. It’s fast, smooth, packed with features and just has a lot of personality.

Version 5.6.5.0 just landed in the Store and it brings some significant and important changes to charming Twitter client, including continued support for Windows Phone 7.x and 8 users.

Tweet It!

Changelog:

  • Implemented a full transition to API 1.1
  • Speed increased by almost a factor of 2
  • Updated page lists
  • Updated profile pages;
  • Improved the operation of the lists of tweets (stream no longer jumps with the included previews of photos and video);
  • Fixed a bug on the page set of tweets in a horizontal orientation for WP8;
  • Added support for keyboard devices for WP8 (well, you never know!)
  • And other small fixes that already cannot recall

Tweet It! has always been quite fast to use but with the latest speed increase, it’s even better. The app is full of all sorts of goodies including Bing Translation, find conversation, retweet with quote, “street mode” (turns camera on), “bed side mode” (locks orientation), photo resize options, inline images, font size and more.

Tweet It!

The app fetches for $2.99 though there is a free trial which we urge you to try it here in the Store.

Like it? Don’t like it? Let us know in comments!

Setting up and configuring your new Windows Phone

Setting up and configuring your new Windows Phone

WP Setup

Got your new Windows Phone? Congratulations!

The first step you need to take is to actually set up the smartphone for the first time. We’ve continuously stated how user-friendly the experience is, so why do we need a tutorial on setting up a new smartphone running Microsoft’s mobile operating system? It’s a fair question, but truth be told that many aren’t as computer savvy as those who were born in this millennium.

That said, it really is super simple to get cracking from unboxing the new gem in your life to making calls, downloading apps and racking up the gamerscore on Xbox Live. What do you need to get started? Nothing really, just the new phone, ample enough charge to get through (it’s always recommended to zap some juice into the device before use) and our quick step-by-step guide. Shall we begin?

Welcome

1. Turn on the Windows Phone and wait until the splash screens for both the system and manufacturer pass by and the welcome screen pops up. You’ll now be greeted by the install wizard and you’re now beginning your Windows Phone journey.

Settings Custom Settings

2. Firstly, you’re required to accept the Windows Phone terms of use. The next screen will ask you exactly how you’d like the smartphone to be set up. The choices are “recommended” and “custom”. Depending on whether or not you’ve used a Windows Phone before, we urge everyone to go with “recommended”.

Should you choose the recommended option, the device will be configured to automatically download software (not app) updates, as well as sending phone usage feedback, WiFi connection data and keyboard touch information to Microsoft.

Selecting “custom” from the screen will enable us to configure each above the above, but you can limit what’s sent to Microsoft after the phone is set up and ready to go.

Date Time Settings

3. After choosing exactly what data (if any) is collected and sent to Microsoft, we’re now tasked with setting up and configuring the date, time, country and time zone. Be sure to choose and set each field carefully as incorrect settings could cause issues further down the line (note that alterations can be made after the installation is complete). Simple stuff.

Microsoft account Microsoft Sign in

4. The following screen will alert us that we can login using Microsoft account credentials. Note that while this step is not mandatory, it’s strongly recommended. Setting up a Windows Phone with a Microsoft account enables consumers to:

  • Secure your Windows Phone with automated backups and location-based measures (Find My Phone).
  • Enable Xbox LIVE, Xbox Music (free trial available) and Messenger.
  • Receive and send emails using Outlook.com.
  • Synchronise your Windows Phone (and its content) with a Windows 8 PC.
  • Make use of SkyDrive and the generous free storage quota available.
  • Purchase and download apps and games from the Windows Phone Store.
  • Integrating Twitter and Linked In into the People Hub.
  • Receive personal results in Local Scout, Music + Videos and the Windows Phone Store.
  • Automatically synchronise contacts with Outlook.com.

We’ve looked into Microsoft accounts and the benefits of owning one in a more detailed article, so be sure to check that resource out for more information.

Finish Setup

5. Almost there! The Windows Phone will now complete the installation and fire up some apps so everything is ready to go. This shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

You’re done. Now you can enjoy your new Windows Phone. Be sure to check out our complete guide to the platform. Head on over to our 101 guide to Windows Phone for more tutorials.

HTC Crams Its Entire History Into A 2:48 Video, Proudly Concludes With The One

HTC Crams Its Entire History Into A 2:48 Video, Proudly Concludes With The One

htc-logo

HTC has come a long way since '97, when it was working on touch-based Windows CE devices. Over the last 15 years, the company has released many new technologies and new devices, including the Compaq iPAQ and a variety of other popular Pocket PCs. It released the world's first 3G Windows Mobile smartphone. The first commercially-available Android phone. The first Nexus phone (which, sadly, didn't make the cut in the video). In short, HTC has done a lot for the mobile industry, and it has released a video showing off a few of these things.

Of course, it all leads up to the crème de la crème: the HTC One.

The rumors are true — HTC and Google will collaborate on a 'Nexus user experience' version of the HTC One

Ever since the Samsung Galaxy S4 “Google Edition” announcement at Google I/O last week, rumors have been circulating that HTC might follow suit with a vanilla version of its own flagship device. Recently, Russell Holly of Geek.com and Paul O’Brien of MoDaCo have chimed in with reports that such a device is on the way. Today we can confirm through our own sources that despite official denials, the “Google Edition” HTC One is indeed real, and will be announced in the next week or so.

Let's take a look at what we know, and what it could mean.

nexusae0_unnamed-33_thumbIf you're eager to test out Google's shiny new Maps interface on the web, but aren't so eager to wait for Google to invite you into their tender fullscreen embrace, then Android Police reader William Pickering has a trick to show you. All you need is Chrome (or another browser with the ability to manually set cookies), a free extension, and about a minute of time.

Step one: install a web cookie editor extension (like this one) from the Chrome Web Store.

step 1

Step two: head to maps.google.com. Ignore the "get the new Google Maps" message, and click the button for your new extension instead.

[Deal Alert] Sprint's HTC One $79 For New Accounts And $99 For Upgrades From Amazon Wireless

[Deal Alert] Sprint’s HTC One $79 For New Accounts And $99 For Upgrades From Amazon Wireless

1

The HTC One is undoubtedly HTC's best and most innovative phone to date. Up to this point, making one your own on The Now Network meant shelling out $200 for an upgrade or $100 if you came from another carrier (thanks to Sprint's number porting incentive); if those prices are still too steep for your taste and you've been waiting for a better deal to come along, now may be the time to buy.

Amazon Wireless just dropped its price on Sprint's One to $79 for new accounts (which is just $20 less than Sprint's offering if you take advantage of the aforementioned number port-in bonus) and – the real deal here – $99 for upgrades.

Support for larger Android tablets finally arrives in the BBC's streaming app

The BBC has updated its iPlayer app for Android, bringing support for 10-inch tablets for the first time. The new iPlayer version 1.7.0 has just landed on Google Play, allowing larger tablets like the Nexus 10 and Xperia Tablet Z to enjoy the full iPlayer experience. In addition, the Beeb says it's tweaked the phone and 7-inch tablet layouts, though we're not noticing any huge differences on our own devices.

Download support -- long present in the iOS version of iPlayer -- is still absent, but a note in the changelog reminds users that the BBC is working on bringing this feature to Android.

Google Creates Dedicated Developer Page For Glass System Images And Kernels – XE5 Image And Pre-Rooted Bootloader Already Posted

nexusae0_image_thumb100Shhhh. Listen closely. Do you hear that? It's the sound of thousands of developers and modders salivating. Though the system images for Google Glass have been available for some time (thanks in no small part to this humble establishment), Google has decided to take the guesswork out of backups and modifications for their wearable tech. The Google Developers website has a brand new Downloads section for Glass, complete with the latest factory image (XE5) and a bootloader. The latter even comes pre-rooted - because Google knows its audience.

Google has also posted the source code for the current Glass kernel to its corporate Git hub, GoogleSource.com.
