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.

Hey there,
I have decided that I truly despise the native windows mobile facebook app. Is there any other (preferably free) ones that are good? I do think the current iphone one is quite good and easy to use, is there anyway to use that on the HD2? The WinMo one is just a pain in the arse to be honest.
Thanks
xx
I just use the touch site, works well, better than the native app.
the touch site lots of times doesnt work for sending messages it doesnt recognize when i type into the box
Hi all,
I've tried the facebook mobile site, touch site, facebook lite and market place app and they all have bad points. The worst is not all your friends status updates show. I tend to use the full site on my HD2 internet browser. Saves loads of problems. Will probably keep on using it till we get a good facebook app that is similar to the iphone app
can't really agree that the iphone facebook app is all that great though...
privacy issues is one thing, where syncing your contact with the iphone facebook app allows facebook the right to own every contact information in your iphone!
and their syncing system allows strangers on facebook to be synced to your iphone contacts... perhaps they synced it with contact information they got from other iphone users, based on phone no.s and etc, but ignoring country and area codes, which ends up syncing your iphone contact to a stranger in facebook, because they have the same phone no. (excluding country code)... that alone is scary enuf...
at least i'm happy with HD2's manila facebook integration, a little manual, but safer, and the album viewing is just smooth, with auto update of the avatar on the phone...
the app is not that impressive them, i have to admit... but iphone's privacy violation just gives me the jitters...
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
Two of my missing social apps on WP is LinkedIn and Google+. As a scientist, I use these apps to reach out and learn more from my fellow professionals but too bad they are not on my OS. The ones out there at the marketplace are just bad and are just the webpages in an app's cloth. Really wish they come out with nice ones soon. Any developer there to help?

Yeah me too but i don't think google will do that coz they are not soo coool with micrsoft

best thing about wmp is that it's not wmp
If you are into Facebook and Twitter, one of the best things is that in the People hub, you can see all the feeds together in one place. And if you want to follow a specific person or persons, you can put that person on your home page and then you will see their updates right in the tile (icon). And for many programs, the connection to Facebook and Twitter is built in and you can easily post things to those places.

Does any one know if a messenger app that can use viber, skype, facebook etc. exists? Back in the old Nokia days there were "apps" that had ICQ, irc, and other messengers in one single app, so you did not have to open multiple things, you just had one contact list + one feed list on everything that's going on, so I was looking for something similar, that has multiple things in one place, but sadly I cannot find any be it paid, free or whatever.
Any one has any ideas or suggestions? I am getting tired of opening 27263627 apps for different things, I just one one simple hub thing like BlackBerry hub maybe.
