SNS and social hub - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Before i go screwing too much up. Are samsung's social hub and SNS services vital for the phone? Right now i have some frozen with tb but would like confirmation before i delete things

i have removed all the hubs, and sns stuff, everything seems to be working for me..
*note* i dont use facebook or myspace, twitter, or others on my phone. if you do, you might watch removing the SNS stuff (not sure)

Same. SNS and social hub removed. I removed Facebook also since it randomly starts up in the background.
Now I just need to figure out whether it's safe to remove at&t tethering manager.

From what I know it's safe to removing the tethering manager as it was on the captivate. It's just responsible for checking in with AT&T and making sure you have a tethering enabled plan. People should just watch it when doing it because if AT&T sees that free tethering is going on they may warn or just apply the $45 4GB tethering plan and send you a notification text.
Now then is it possible to can the social hub and keep the sns agents? I want facebook and twitter integration in the phone but I don't want social hub, twitter, or facebook apps installed. I use tweetdeck for the updates and stuff. I just need facebook and twitter for contact list feeds. Facebook gives me phone numbers of people not in my google account. Most of my facebook friends are co-workers anyways...

I have removed Media Hub/Social Hub and all of the SNS JUNK.
nothing seems majorly broken

[Q] Social Networking for Atrix

Okay so I did the Webtop hack in which all the phone needs to activate webtop is just an hdmi cable and its working fine, but after completing the entire process, I found out the majority of my contacts had disappeared, the social network for motoblur is not working with facebook, system update is asking for a social networking account when I should already have one, and facebook is not syncing with my contacts.
Is there a way to fix this? I really want this feature back. thnx

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....

[Q] Frozen com.seven.z7 (Social Hub) but E-Mail still works.. how/why?

I'm using AntTek App Manager to freeze some unneccesary bloatware apps that use cpu/batt in the background and I've noticed that the native Email app works even with com.seven.z7 frozen (real filename is SevenEngine.apk, app is labelled as Social Hub, but the actual Social Hub app is com.sec.android.socialhub).
Why is this? I thought the email app uses the z7 service for push emails, is the app manager not freezing apps correctly or is this service used for something else? I basically want to know if I can leave this frozen without adversely affecting my emails
bump, can anyone help?

[Q] Facebook contact sync error (screenshot attached)

Note: It's working again! Looks like a server issue from Samsung which they might have fixed. See post #6.
I replaced my old phone for dead pixel. On the new phone, I restored contacts, and synced with Facebook (Social Hub), but I get the following error and FB contacts are not getting loaded -
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
I tried the following but didn't help -
1. Reset phone, sync with FB contacts before anything else - didn't help
2. Remove Samsung Mobile app from Facebook (from the browser in App management) - and remove mobile account at the same time. Reconnect mobile account. Didn't help.
The Facebook App's sync works though, and syncs with the contacts! Unfortunately the way it syncs is not compatible with third party apps like Viber or WhatsApp who try to read the phone numbers from contacts list.
I know this has been posted sometimes before, but that was 1 year ago with Froyo. Is there a solution to this?

Facebook Samsung Social Hub sync error
I also have the same problem with my Galaxy s2. My problem started with a session expired error. Now i get "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"View attachment 748549
I have the same problem after flashing KI8 firmware. It was working fine with 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. But I can sync messages.
Looks like it is a current problem that the servers are facing. I will report back when it works (if ) for me!
Same thing happening for me on my T-mobile GS2. Social Hub FB Calendar syncs OK but not Contacts nor Messages.
My regular FB account sync (that comes with the regular FB Android app) is syncing contacts just fine however.. So I can see my FB contacts from the Contacts/Phone app, but the Activies, History, and Media tabs (which I assume are fed via the Social Hub FB syncs) are empty.
The Social Hub service is back online on my SGSII. Everything is green. Samsung must have fixed their server issue.
Thanks, checked, it's working!

Thank you! I looked at your post and checked, it's working for me as well. It means now Viber and WhatsApp can analyze my address book again
I will post a comment in the original message.

social hub missing from widget list?

when I was stock the social hub appeared in the widget list. since then I rooted and froze all att and Samsung apps. now I want to try social hub out, so I unfroze it and set it up. however, the widget isn't available to add.
I've rebooted multiple times. any suggestions?
never mind I'm stupid, there are 2 social hub programs and I only unfroze one of them. working now after unfreezing other one.
