I finally got my phone done with a custome 4.0.4 firmware. But one thing i am missing is the Social Hub program for Exchange Emails. Does any one have the apk for this for I9000 samsung phones.
Thanks
* Sorry can a mod put this in the Q & A Section please *
The social hub needs a touchwiz framework which isnt included in any of the custom ics firmwares You can use exchange mail in othet mail apps

Be wary using the built in Exchange syncing though, for me, it keeps my phone awake over half of the time it's active... annihilates the battery

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
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.
Hi all, I'm a very recent switcher from iPhone (just got the SR 5 days ago after owning the original iPhone and then the 3gs for the past 4 years) and had a question about the stock apps.
I really like the stock Samsung e-mail app over the Gmail app for managing my gmail accounts but one thing that is a glaring omission is the inability to archive e-mails. I know you can do this through the Gmail app but to me the Samsung app is just slicker plus it has unified inbox which was great on the iPhone.
In the original iPhone mail app you used to not be able to archive Gmail email for the longest time until a fairly recent update (i think it was the same update that gave us unified inbox- not sure though). Along the same lines, is it possible that Samsung will ever update the stock e-mail app to support archiving? If so, how do you update stock apps? Does it only come with a new OS update like ICS?
I guess I could be persuaded into looking at 3rd party apps but I think I really prefer to stay with stock because I know it has been specifically designed with this phone's hardware in mind and is probably the most optimized with regards to memory management, battery, etc. Thanks!
gmail for android supports archiving already.
You might be able to archive with activesync/imap if you move the email out of the inbox folder but that's more of a hack then anything else.
To answer your original question I would not expect many changes to the stock apps excluding those that are in the market (maps, gmail, etc) until we get ics.
I've seen this question posted on various forums, including this one, but there's never been an answer. I just upgraded to a Galaxy S3 with JB and the email account shortcut is missing. I use the stock email app for my personal pop3 email as well as my corporate email. I really don't want to use a 3rd party email app, this one works fine for me. With my old Bionic (running JB as well) I had this shortcut to go directly to each account, the GS3 does not have this. Can this be added?
Also just rooted and rom'd the phone to the Synergy rom and it's still not there.
is synergy debloated? maybe the stock samsung email app has been removed.
Yes, it's somewhat debloated, but it wasn't in the stock JB rom either. I love the phone, but this is really irritating...
Bump? Switched to CleanROM and still no go...
Nobody? I can't be the only one that uses this shortcut?
Bueller?
I am very Very disappointed that they removed this widget. Is there any way to get it back on a 4.3 stock or jellybeans rom on Vox Note 3?
I had been using the stock SW2 Gmail extension as my mail email "go-to" app when I first got my SW2 when I was still running a custom 4.1.2 ROM (BoneStock 3.4) on my rooted GS3. It was a sorta convoluted process, since I had my Comcast email go to my Gmail account, and then I was able to ead all emails via the Gmail extension. After a while I changed the ROM on my GS3 to a TW4.3 ROM (MOAR 7.1), in part to work better with WatchIt (I was having difficulties getting WatchIt to work with my 4.1.2 ROM).
The good news was WatchiIt was working fine with 4.3, but the ad new was the SW2 was now no longer able to work with the Gmail extension. I would try to use the Gmail extension (install Gmail extension, add my Gmail account to my phone as directed, go to my watch and press Gmail icon, I get an error message that says: "Unfortunately Gmail - Smart Extras tm has stopped. You can report it (which I did, it sends a message to Google) or you can clicjk OK." After you click OK, the same error message reappears. I then uninstalled the extension.
So to make it read emails, I installed K9 on my phone, and then had K9 read my Gmail email. Then have the K9 extension read the emails on my watch. What was a convoluted route became even more convoluted: Comcast, to Gmail, to K9, to the K9 extension. All because (1) Sony is trying to get SW2 watch customers to buy Sony phones by having the stock email extension on SW2 only work with Sony phones (and thus,eliminate the most direct way of reading email on the SW2) and (2) the Gmail extension doesn't work with 4.3 (at least my 4.3 phone).
So I posted the question on the Sony consumer customer support community age. A few community members offered up suggestions (uninstall/reinstall extension, go to SUS to make sure I am on latest firmware/SW, etc) all without any improvement.
I then emailed Sony support. And after a request for me to resend them an email describing the prolem, I received this answer:
hank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.

So, at least they respond and answer emails. Hopefully they are also working on resolving 4.3 issues. But anyone having a problem related to 4.3, hope this helps.
4.2.2 and mee too have unfortunately gmail extras has stopped... " but after the Gmail App is working. So for me is only an irritating popup

I've never had that much trouble the GMail extension of stock 4.4.2 on my N5. It can be a little finicky at times, but the vast majority of the time it works great. Only glaring issue I had with it was last week when Google through a fit for those couple hours. Other than that, it was working fine.
It's interesting to see Sony's response though, they're Sony and should have no problems dealing with Android 4.3, let alone 4.4. It's a shame that it seems some of Sony's sleeping successes such as this are going unnoticed by the company and resources.
Awesome news... i just changed my custom 4.3 ROM from MOAR 7.1 to CleanROM 8.0 (a new TW-based 4.3 ROM), and on this one the Gmail extension works. So now I can simply go from my Comcast email account to Gmail, and read the mail using the stock Gmail extension. Works so much better, as emails are separated and the extension interface is a lot cleaner.
The other extensions I typically use all seem t work with this 4.3 ROM (haven't had a sports or score notification yet). But facebook and twitter extensions work, as does the photo viewer.
