I tried the social hub but gave up on it... I think it suffers from the same problem most other aggrrgstors in that it's not feature complete...
For instance I couldn't figure out how to post a picture to facebook
There's no facebook chat...
And I couldn't work out how to follow a new person in twitter....
All really basic omissions. FAIL

Glad you said that as saves me trying to use it
that sucks, wish it was better =(
Any alternatives? The friendstream in HTC Sense is fantastic! Moved over to CM7 but I've been struggling to find any decent alternatives I use Launcher Pro's widget but not as good as friendstream.
Agreed friendstream is excellent, I'm coming from a HD2 running Android with Sense and that's the one widget I'll miss the most I think so hope there's a decent alternative available. Once I have the phone I'll start looking but hopefully someone can recommend a good one so will be watching this closely
I'm loving TweetDeck at the moment. You can have Facebook and Twitter separated into columns or you can have them bundled together.
Mentions and notifications on Twitter and Facebook are also organised into one column and you can setup notification sounds etc. for each column.
Worth checking out considering it's free and I wouldn't go near the Twitter for Android app again.

do you have ANY idea how many messages i missed because i thot "o look fancy social app, im sure it'll beep when i have messages"...waiting..waiting...20 hours later my friends calls me pissed off "hey..its been 20 hours why didnt you reply to facebook message?"
But at the moment we stop using SocialHub we'll lose the contact social (updates/multimedia) as a side effect right?
If like of the only part of it you want is the contact integration then you only need the sns parts of the whole social hub. The rest you can remove or freeze with titanium backup.
I'm using Batista rom which doesn't have the social hub. I just added the sns stuff and then added the Facebook for social hub account under phone settings->accounts and sync. Then also just enable Facebook under your contacts display settings

Yep, that's how I use it, too. Keep the benefits and get rid of the crap.
Is there any way to hide some facebook friends? My facebook is organized by groups but the sns doesn't take this in consideration.

I give up using the social hub as I could not get thur the samsung registeration step. The Reg. repeated itself and just could not get out.
Yup - it's official - the Social Hub is a steam pile of ****e....

Is it just me or does Facebook show up three times when clicking share. I click to share a picture... it shows Facebook, Facebook and then Facebook - HTC Sense...
you sure you dont have a 3rd party facebook app installed
Mine just shows Facebook and Facebook Sense
Should be just two, assuming u gave Facebook for Android installed
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Sounds stupid, but I am 100% sure it's just the Facebook for Android by Facebook and then I'm logged into the HTC Sense one.
OS BASED - Facebook - just Syncs contacts
FACEBOOK ANDROID APP - Facebook for HTC Sense - syncs your live feed, calendar, contact
if you have a third you installed another facebook app
I'm not as stupid as you think I am. Even if it was another Facebook app... it would be named Facebook xxxxx... Something and not just Facebook.
Not nesceasrily. I have filkie wallpapers on my phone and when I go to my gallery it has two options for wallpaper under the set as section. Both just say wallpaper but one goes to the sense wallpaper and the other two the filkie prgram

Never said you were, have you tried a battery pull too see if anything changes?
Yes. It's a duplicate, because they both open up the Facebook for Android app.
One is for pictures and one is for videos? WTH!?

Did you set the option of mail to push, the times and days when push is enabled, low energy push settings, etc. ? I use the Samsung Social Hub and all my mails arrive instantly, sometimes before my pc spots them

Works fine for me, don't know if it's better than the gmail app, but since i use hotmail, yahoo and gmail i work with social hub cause it incorporates all of them.
did you set up the email correctly? Only exchange (or imap-idle) supports push
who is your email provider?

Gmail is a good app but has few issues, for example attachment downloading, sending email takes longer sometimes and many more.
Social Hub is the only perfect email app in Android. i have used stock email in My HTC Hero and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, which was so annoying, used to freeze, used to bring up same emails several times as new emails.
I have also used DroidMail and K9Mail.
They has exact same issues as Stock email.
Social Hub is the only perfect email application for Android at the moment.
Android Email support is no where near Nokia messaging and Windows.
Android simply doesnt care about email app because of Gmail
Android support for multilanguages is also poor.

I second that. Its really annoying that I can't find an good email application, even on my Wave the stock bada email app was better. Anyway hope they will improve both GMail and Social Hub client asap.

Hi,
Bought an S2 couple of weeks ago. Great phone with superb performance.
However I am having a prob with FB integration.
Despite installing the 'Facebook for Android' app and creating an account in Samsung Social Hub, I am unable to sync my existing contacts and FB calender entries onto my device.
The 'sync all' option in 'FB 4 Android' app (and sync on Social Hub) creates a separate contact instead of combining it with existing ones and 'sync existing contacts' doesn't work.
In calender, special events are getting tabulated but birthdays are not getting recorded.
I am currently using the 'Birthdays - Free' app frm the Market to address the calender sync issue. Its a gr8 app, give it a try.
However, plz help me out with the calender sync issue.
I'm not sure because i'm not using samesumg hubs and i dont't have it on my phone. But i think there is an option to join contacts.

There is. I had to do this with about half of my facebook contacts, which for some reason, didn't automatically join, even though the names were identical.
Exactly the prob m facing..
My friend had no issues on his xperia neo V for sync using the facebook 4 android app..dunno why bt it isn't workin for my i9100..
i have no problem in syncing my contacts but i would like help on setting their fb profile pictures as their caller i.d pictures. im using the rom from here:

If the contacts are synced with FB but don't show their FB picture, try loading them in the FB app at least once.

Should have worked, if they are joined properly.

Does this solves the problem for ICS Roms, which have NO FB contacts sync on Social Hub?
Thanks
Should just try

hi everyone!
dont know if u notice.... the option for facebook contacts sync in the social hub was removed in the new Ics Rom the problem with this is that all the contacts pics are now small resolution.. so there pixalated as.. f....k
anyone knows a solution for this??
Me saw that too... and so has the inherest ability to sync fb birthdays to tw calendar also gone... Any workarounds anyone??
Yes, HaxSync paid app and works better syncs higher quality photos, events and birthdays. Worth the pennies it costs from play store.

Also noticed that it's missing, however a review on GSM arena seems to suggest it should be there?
One important change is the new Contacts app. It integrates with your SNS services and gives you a second tab for each contact's details with their photo and info grabbed from social networks.
You get to this tab by swiping sideways - a bit like you would in Windows Phone (Android has really grown into the sideways swipe thing too).

Any more? is that SURE? and... Why? Do you have any source, please?
I dont understand why Calendar and messages can be sync but contacts cant....
Is it permanent for ICS roms that are to come?
Thanks
I actually created a new thread for this not knowing that it has been asked...
Yes, I also noticed the GSMarena review and so I thought that I had a bad update. I tried to restore to factory setting and reflash the firmware update but still nada.
My current conclusion is perhaps for somewhat reason some firmware versions have the SNS contact integration and some don't...
Mine is XLP7. Would others kindly share their firmware version and situation on the SNS contact integration?

Not possible with ICS.
You can try friendcaster(free) and HaxSync (paid).

I am using ICS DXLP7. If you just upgrade from Ginger to ICS without doing data wipe or factory reset, calendar and messages were fine but Official Samsung ICS ROM (upgraded using KIES) doesn't have Facebook Contacts sync anymore.
However, if you did do the factory reset after installing ICS on you Galaxy S2 ... poor you, you will not be able to sync any of the three (Facebook contacts, messages, and calender). Must use third party app.
yeah at the end the solution is an app from the market.. theres 2 that works well but they dont sync phone numbers tho

Recently moved back to Android after three years with iOS. Purchased the Droid DNA. I am having a few problems with the move, but the main one seems to be lack of instant notifications. I need instant notifications from Twitter, Facebook, and E-Mail. This doesn't seem to be happening. It looks like I am at the mercy of Jelly Bean's AutoSync which syncs like.... every few hours.
Is something broken?
Use a different client for Facebook and Twitter which has instant notifications! Play store has tons of different clients!

They do have push notifications. Check in their settings.
friendcaster pro is a Facebook client with push notifications, it works really well
I found out the problem is with HTC's E-Mail client. The problem doesn't exist with the default. I had to purchase Enhanced E-Mail, which is working good.
I'll try out Friendcaster Pro, thanks.
