I understand that someone has developed a facebook tab for the HTC Sense, and it already has a built in twitter tab. I was wondering if there is a way that we can integrate the two together (kinda like the friendstream on HTC wildfire)
that would be awesome. i think friendstream is exclusive to HTC Android phones though, works on Android builds running of the SD card on HD nicely.

I am about to start my search for another Twitter app to use and I could use some opinions on what to try

I use plume formerly known as touiteur. I useto use twidroid first then switched to tweetdeck, then twicca and finally landed on plume which is perfect for me.
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Stable Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
I've tried TweetCaster, Touiteur, TweetDeck, Twitter Official but I still end up using Twidroid.
Because of it's faster uploading of images to yfrog and auto-complete of username and hashtag.
plume and twidroyd pro
When running a Sense rom-- Peep/Friendstream
Anything else-- Tweetdeck
I'm pretty new to twitter but I love tweetdeck, especially on google chrome
i use plume. its so sexy and smooth, plus it has amazing features
Tweetdeck - on android, Mac os and win

I love Tweet Deck because ofthesimple UI and i guesd its the best Twitter Client for android
I tried many of them, but sticked with twicca bete.
TweetDeck.
This is my all-time favorite social networking application. So simple, yet so nice.
I am a fan of HootSuite's Android and web apps. I like CoTweet too.

I use the official Twitter app.
Tweetcaster!
Twicca was my first choice due to its vast features and addons. But due to lack of a good scrollable widget, I've now moved Plume which is good and all but still I think Twicca is the best if someone doesn't require any widget.

i usually switch between the official twitter app and tweetdeck because it also incorporates google buzz and facebook.
Tweetdeck is my favorite due to the UI and Facebook integration, not to mention columns..
However, I stopped using it because it lacks key features I need.
I've begun using Twidroyd because it incorporates Twitlonger, and auto-complete hashtag and username options.
Used to use twicca, but switched to twidroyd pro a while back and loved it.
Tried official and toiteur as well but quickly realised i didn't like them.
Sort of off topic...
Im considering getting started on Twitter.
Do any apps allow posting to twitter, facebook and buzz automatically? (Type it once and it sends it to each social network).
And are there apps that allow multiple twitter accounts? (one for business, one for personal?)
Sorry for the nooby questions...
Tweetdeck although I prefer Yoono in terms of desktop version...
THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster
I've only used vanilla android devices (nexus one, g2), and I'm thinking about getting the sensation. Other than the obvious differences in the UI, what else is different about sense devices like this? I've read stuff about them not automatically syncing contacts with Google. Is that true? Can I replace the launcher with one from the market?

I actually far prefer Sense devices, although you can download a different launcher from the market, none are as polished as sense is. One of the greatest things being sense's widgets. As far as syncing with contacts I might be biased but I think sense actually handles this a little more flawlessly than most devices. It will sync with pretty much any major account you might have, email, twitter, facebook, google etc. I love the sensation, I came from an htc mytouch 4g which was also an outstanding phone. Do it and if you don't like sense you can pretty much find any kind of launcher you want on the market, although I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
If you get S-OFF and start playing with custom ROMs there are a few AOSP ones out there. CM9 for example. Virtuous Inquisition has Sense backend but has had the UI de-sensed as much as possible.
At the moment I'm playing with CM10 Alpha/Beta.
I have never had an issue with syncing contacts with Gmail, stock or custom ROMs. I think the issue you refer to is that as standard with sense you can say where to sync the contact when you create one, Phone, Gmail... The Phone contact can then be synced with Outlook etc. via HTCSync and not with Gmail !

Sense has a few apps and Widgets that other launchers dont have.
No that's not true, Sense can sync contacts with Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Yes you can use any launcher from the market.
Hey nerds,
I write this here in the developer section cause I'm not really shure if it fits in the general secction.
I tried different ROMs during the last weeks and instead of one I used the FACEBOOK contact pictures are not showing in whatsapp. If the contact uses a google account contact picture everything works well.
I tried different workarounds to fix it but nothing helped.
-Installing whatsapp from the market, new login, restore message backup or not
-restoring a titanium backup from a working rom including and exccluding data
-erasing app data, stop the app, deleting app cache, actualizing contact
-install whatsapp first then facebook and vice versa
...nothing works
If I use a ROM where the pictures where not showing from the beginning there I can find no fix.
I tried the following roms
LBC Mod 0.6 - everything works fine
Runnymede S 3.3a amd former versions - don't work
MIUI - don't work
CM 7.1 (final and latast nightlys) - don't work
SAGA 3D 3.0 an former versions - don't work
If I switch the contact pictures to google it works but I do not have pictures in all contacts there.
Only ROM it works is LBC which is still a very good ROM but a little otdated and I definetly like sense 3.5
Is there a known fix I didn't tried or found here on XDA oder google?
thanks
Nick
I've had this issue myself too...
From what i've learned over the course of the last couple of months, i see that the Whatsapp contact pictures work on all the Sense 3.0 ROMs i have tried....(The GoAPK leaked release by Proxuser, Hyperion by Lowveld) and DO NOT work on any of the Sense 3.5 ROMs (Runny ports by both Proxuser and Lowveld). I must be honest, i never tried CM7 or MIUI... I'm a regular sense guy.
I figure it is probably because of the way Facebook integration has been implemented in Sense 3.5....instead of the separate Facebook for HTC Sense account, and Facebook regular account, there is now a consolidated account in 3.5 which embraces the both. That has screwed things up for Whatsapp somehow...
The photo integration is working well with third party apps and Whatsapp shows contact pictures from, say, Friendcaster Pro, but not from native Facebook. I've solved the problem by assigning pics manually to contacts uncer the "Phone Contacts" account and they show up in Whatsapp just fine. I know its painful, but hey, whatever works, right?
However, other third party apps have easy access to facebook photos from my phonebook, so it's not like sense is at fault here...
I think this needs to be looked at by the developers of Whatsapp, rather than try to overhaul an entire version of Sense. I have been in touch with the developers of the app and put in a request for Sense 3.5 integration fix.
Now just waiting patiently for a bug-fix update from Whatsapp. I suggest more people mail them so this issue is taken seriously... Just a thought.
Cheers.
So I'm looking forward to a fix by the developers. Thanks for answering.

I have the same issue - try the app syncmypix which has been suggested on androidforums.
Ive tried it and it works - now have contact pics for contacts from facebook or joined with facebook and they feed through to whatsapp - so it is a valid workaround...
Right now I am back on LBC (best ROM for my use so far and very good battery life) - but synched my contact pict in google manually. I dont't have that much facebook contacts (I know them all in real life ) so this was not that much work. So evertime I play with sense 3.5 (which I really like) I will have my contact pics in whatsapp. Nevertheless, this seems to be problem on a lot of devices using facebook app and whatsapp (I searched a lot) - so this is not a problem with our devices using sense 3.5.
I'm on a different phone and rom but Sense 3.6 and is having the same problem!!
This is neither sense nor any rom related. The problem is caused by whatsapp itself. By any reason the app is not able to show contact pictures from the Facebook app itself.
In sense 3.0 Roms and below you could use Facebook for sense to sync the contacts - no problem for whatsapp. The newer sense versions are using the Facebook app for syncing. If you use a third party app like friendcaster the pics are shown correctly.
I recommend to sync the pics with your Google account manually, this is what I did. And then use the Google pics in contacts. I know this is a little work to do and there are apps in the store you can use therefore. But you only have to do it once.

Moved to proper forum.
I am a recent convert to Android from Windows Phone (after MSoft cut the legs out from under WP7 users), and was wondering if there's an app that has similar functionality to the Windows Phone People hub updates. I'm basically looking for something to feed my LinkedIN, Facebook, and Twitter feeds into one clean stream.
I have the HTC One X, and HTC has their friends app which comes close (as do other apps in the Play Store), but leaves out LinkedIN, which is a big function I'd like to have. Any suggestions?
Nothing available out there? Am I missing something?
there isnt people hub app for android. but you can made it using ADW.
