UnNamed: Facebook + calendar integration linked through social hub? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I'm running unnamed, wish I had enough posts to post in that thread directly.
The recent update removed social hub, and that seemed to remove my facebook account from my calendar. I can't add a new facebook account when I go into calendar sync. I only see options for adding Google, Yahoo, and Exchange accounts.
When I go into the general Accounts & Sync options in Settings, I see my facebook account, with an option to sync contacts (no calendar).
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling facebook, clearing calendar data, clearing calendar sync data. Any other ideas?

Install the social app back on your phone.

I'd rather not... it was taken out for a reason by gtg, and actually I was never sure what that app did. I definitely didn't use it, except for the fact that I had to in order to sync my calendar. So if I could skip the middleman I'd prefer to.
Is the social hub app necessary to sync facebook with the stock calendar app?

Isn't it specifically for social hub? Probably won't work without adding it back?

Install it back from titanium. I do it for email premium account

I was hoping they weren't so tightly integrated on the gsii
Didn't have social hub on my captivate and could sync my calendars with no issue.

I don't understand what the issue is? When does Facebook sync with the Calendar app? (I didn't know it did this?)

The calendar app can put your facebook events on the calendar, as long as the facebook account is added in the calendar's settings. So I could have my google calendar events and facebook events all in the calendar.
It seems the sgsii's calendar relied on the social hub app to do this, since I can't seem to add facebook after social hub was removed.

Just flash the Social Hub addon if you want it.

Flash the social hub, and then freeze everything not related to FB.
If SNS is causing major battery drain I can't find it. I have great deep sleep times, and I've never seen a wakelock related to it.
Here is what I have frozen and not frozen, and FB intergration into calendar and contacts is working for me.
SNS 1.5 - Unfrozen
SNS disclaimer - Frozen
SNS AccountFB - Unfrozen
SNS AccountLi - Frozen
SNS AccountTw - Frozen
SNS ImageCache - Unfrozen (This allows your phone to update your contact photos from Fb)
Social Hub 2.00.00001 - Frozen
Social Hub 7.52.10101 - Frozen

Thanks for the help, everyone.
I know I can just add social hub back, I was just wondering if there was another way since I have no other use for the app itself.
Anyway, awesome rom GTG

Does anybody have the social addon saved anywhere? I didn't download it while I had the chance, now I'd like to flash it. Unfortunately, restoring from Titanium doesn't work.

I saw your post and Googled it for the heck of it...I have not tried this yet...but it makes some sense. Let us know if it does what you're looking for.

[Q] Can't add facebook account - not through motoblur

I am trying to add my Facebook account to my Atrix. I click on the icon under Settings - > Accounts but nothing happens. I can only add Facebook through Motoblur. Anyway to fix this? The Facebook app from the market works fine and stuff but I don't get any of my contacts sync'd unless I add Facebook to my accounts list.
I too was experiencing this problem, it seems it's been disabled by disabled by motoblur (contacts won't show information from the facebook app such as statuses anyway as it is not the stock contacts app). I found a way around it and was using it temporarily to sync display pictures but since then facebook has been forced by google to remove the sync feature entirely, that function -should- be dead on all android devices at the moment.
Hope this helps

Edit: http://heartofangel.com/google-contact-sync/ Use this for almost all information except statuses which as I said won't work.

[Q] Facebook birthdays not showing

Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).
So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!
I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).
I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.
I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...
Any clues???
Did you reinstall Facebook ?

Try to sync? In the settings in facebook.
its a common problem i think...
when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...
what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
Thanks for you replies. Here are my comments:

Actually, I did... I even wiped it all and re-installed everything. Did not work either... But please notice that the Facebook app itself is not the case here. Why? The Facebook app uses a non-integrated Facebook account and I'm using the integrated account.

Yes. I configured it to sync contacts and calendar... And I synced hundreds of times, just to make sure.

This is a workaround, indeed. But I don't want to to this way because it is not automatic: each way a new friend is added in Facebook, I'd have to re-export the FB calendar to Google.
Here is some additional info. I did some more peeking in the databases (the .db files) and found out that the birthdays are not being loaded in the "events" table from the "calendar.db" file (not sure about the exact names, I don't have the phone at hand now...). If I look at this database in my Galaxy S (where it works), I see all Facebook birthdays and events in this "events" table. In the Ace, only the Facebook events were there...
Now it looks like the problem might be in the syncing itself, not in the actual Calendar app (which only display what is in the database).
I had this weird idea: since everything works in my Galaxy S (I even did a real-case test: I wiped my Galaxy S, configured my wife's Gmail and Facebook accounts and it worked perfectly), would it make sense to copy the .apk's from my phone to the Ace? If true, which .apk's could it be?
It doesn't work for me too. Actually, facebook only has the option of syncing contacts. Do I have to have a google account tied to facebook for facebook events to be synced to calendar?

[Q] Facebook App not sync'ing profile pictures with contacts?

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment getting my Facebook contacts profile pictures to show up when sync'ing my contacts with the Facebook for Android app. It sync's the accounts okay because I can still view a contact and it will have a link to their Facebook profile, however it's no longer sync'ing the pictures anymore.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app and then sync'ing contacts again but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Cheers.
i did had this issue.... i removed the facebook account from social hub & the facebbok app itself..
Settings -> accounts and sync -> then clicking on the account and removing them.
Then first added facebook to social hub...synced it...then pictures were back...then i had to again log on to facebook app...and synced again (this is just to attach the contacts) so that the app can be lauched from contacts itself.

I don't have Social Hub, I froze it in Titanium Backup and it seems to have disappeared. Think I'm going to have to reset the phone.
Just try to delete and readd your Facebook.sync account. And then sync again. That worked for me. I never use the hubs

Cheers for the replies guys. I found out what the problem was, the ROM I had installed had the Facebook sync removed from it. Did a full wipe only to realize this afterwards, all sorted now though.

Social Hub seems to have stopped notifications from other apps

I decided to give social hub a try but I didn't like it because it was notifying me as well as gmail and yahoo (so two notifications for the same thing). Now I've got rid of the accounts on social hub these seemed to have stopped the notifications coming from yahoo and gmail so now I have no notifications at all! Yahoo and Gmail still seem to work if I manually refresh within the apps but not while I'm out and about.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Felix
Sounds like you have syncing turned off, go into accounts in settings and see if they are turned on or off for syncing or try within the email apps for similar settings.

I managed to sort it by pretty much doing what you suggested.

[Q] CM9 / AOKP / Liquid Rom - Facebook sync

I am running the latest CM9 / AOKP / Liquid Rom (10/26). I can not seem to sync my facebook contacts with my google contacts. So in the contacts I am not seeing contact pictures or any facebook related info. I have went to menu / system settings / accounts & sync and set facebook account to sync on. That did not work. So I uninstalled and re-downloaded the facebook app again. Still no dice. Any suggestions?
App Facebook Contact Sync. Do not allow the facebook app to sync, it will only duplicate if it even works. Which in 99% of the case it doesnt.

Ang1dust, Facebook Contact Sync app did the job. Thanks.
Is there a way to get facebook contacts sync without the facebook app? I've generally found that letting it run on my phone causes all sorts of problems.
