seems like an oversight on samsungs part....

Try Android Pro Widgets. Separate widgets for Twitter/Facebook for free but a $2 fee for the Pro key gets you a combined Widget. Fully scrollable and nicely skinned.
I rarely use paid apps but this one is worth the money.

[Q] Any stock blur apps worth keeping?

Hoping to get my Defy delivered tommorrow and planning on de-blurring it as soon as I get it. Just wondering if anyone thinks that any of the stock blur apps are worth keeping? Won't need any of the social networking stuff but, for example the music player looks interesting...any suggestions? Thanks.
I personally like MOTOBLUR. It meshes facebook and your contacts together nicely.

the music app , love the lyrics and they have some options like if you were to have on an ipod
Maybe the facebook app/widget? Or does there exist another free widget (market?) that would be better than the Motoblur one?
If you are on facebook the status updates for your mobiles contacts is pretty fun, also a good thing for me is the facebook date integration, for example I never remember peoples birthdays this is a god send!
for whatever reason, DO NOT remove google talk (talk). It helps you downlaod stuff off the android market because you have to login there in order to download something from market !

social hub vs standalone app?

Title say it all, for all those use both.
Social hub vs facebook app, gmail app, IM app, etc.
Which one do you prefer and why?

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....

Social Hub

I wish Samsung hadn't made their apps/widgets to magnified. they look terrible on the tab but social hub would be perfect as a widget that has all my social networks and email all in one place...
can anyone reskin this thing???

ToDo App for Tablet Smartphone Sync

Hey,
I'm looking for a to do app that allows me to organize my tasks in a beautiful, tablet optimized way (like Beautiful Notes) and allows some kind of sync method to bring that stuff to my Galaxy S later. Someone got an idea?
Bye ,Smirny
I don't just want to plug my site but have you searched on Tablified.com or Tablified Market? I know I have a few on there.
Found some:

What I really want is a task/ToDo app that syncs with my google calendar so I can have both my tasks, todo's and calendar items all together in one.
Evernote is popular.
any.DO looks interesting.

Pocket Informant does all that but its pricey...

I love remember the milk but it's a service with a 25 dollar year fee.
The widgets in the pro version are amazing.
The best part about rtm is how simple it is.
For fairly simple task tracking check out any.do. It syncs with Google tasks so that will keep stuff lined up from device to device.

Wunderlist is nice too.

+1 for evernote.
not many people realize that you can create a To-Do list. i have it on my Prime, my G2, and on my windows PC....any changes i make are cloud-synced.
and it has a fairly decent widget.
I am a list and note whore. I have tons of both and have been through most the apps in the market. The best one that has worked for me is Pocket Informant, but Ultimate To-Do list is quite handy also and has widgets you can use. Both can be synced with Toodledo which is an online database that you can sync for free or pay for extra features, which really isn't needed but cheap non the less.
I have spent a lot of time on this and it has all been tablet focused. If this helps, free free to click thanks. ^ ^

I uses Tasks N Todos Pro.
Lets you make multiple Todo lists and synchrosizes with Google. Not sure if it works together with Google calendar.
Any.DO would be perfect for me, except that it doesn't sync automatically - you have to go into settings and click 'sync' every time. The only flaw in otherwise one of my favourite apps for android.
have any one tried yet Platinum Tasks (To Do List)? I have tried Tasks N Todos Pro and I do like it..
possible solution

Dunno if this will work for you, but here's what i did and my google calendar syncs with all of my devices:
1- go to accounts and sync
2- add account
3- select "coporate" (not "google accounts")
4- type in your email and password
5- under domain type: m.google.com
make sure to select all the options you wish to sync.
this worked on my asus transformer prime with android honeycomb.
Mobilise Notes is awesome & Google syncs.
Damnit. Just when I was thinking I was happy with my to-do list.
I'm going to go try them all!!!
(Mobilise didn't come up in the market...)
Edit*again* and then when I search for wunderlist it does. n/m.

You might like "Do It Tomorrow", It's kind of fun.
GTask syncs with Google Todo.
and you can use Agenda Widget to consolidate the calendar and todo into one Widget

I'm surprised no one had already mentioned GTasks by Dato before the previous poster did... I've been using it with my TF & EVO for months, for simple no-frills text only to-do lists that sync with your Google Calendar/Tasks it works very very well. If you need something fancier I'd look into other services like Remember the Milk or Evernote.
I like GTasks because of it's simplicity tho, if I can add photos or full web pages to my to-do list I'm just gonna amass way too much crap I'll never sort thru. I don't sort my to-do list very obsessively nor do I fiddle with due dates a lot either, something like RMTM's probably better for that.
As for widgets, GTasks has a serviceable one but I like Pure Calendar widget a lot better... It's scrollable, combines your calendar and tasks, very customizable, and it works with a ton of calendar/task apps.
Pure Grid Calender's nice too, hell all the Pure widgets rock imo. Config screens are a little cluttered and look somewhat dated, but the widgets themselves are very slick and have tons of skins. I use both the calendar ones, music, and messenger. Been meaning to look at the news one.

Samsung Social Hub

Hi all,
Iv got a Samsung Galaxy Mini (S5570) running gingerbread and i`m looking at using the social hub app instead of seperate apps for facebook, linkedin, Gmail.
Thing is iv added my facebook account and all it does is open a browser it doesnt display the feed in the app, and I cant add linkedin at all
Other websites say it should display the feed in the app, It just doesnt seem to work as claimed.
is this how it's supposed to be? or is there something wrong or is there a good alternative. I have searched online and there seems to be different version of the app.
Thanks
