I have Google+ on my phone and it seems to work fine. But when i go to post pics in my posts, or log my location, it will update in the stream, but then 10 secconds later its gone. My friends cant see any pics i post, or updates.
Now if i look at my profile, it shows them there?? WTF?
But if i post using Google Chrome on my laptop, it works just fine. Anyone else have this issue?
Also, how do i get rid of all the random people in the nearby stream?? I just want my friends there.

Just got my Photon yesterday afternoon. Woot!
Having a couple issues with Handcent and Go SMS (trying them both out).
Handcent: Background images, in both the list and conversations, is very distorted.
Go SMS: Background image is SLIGHTLTY blurring (could just be me though) but main issue is contact pictures won't show, in list or conversation. They show fine in Handcent.
Any of you having similar issues. I haven't tried a reinstall of each. I kinda thought it was just an app thing and the dev's haven't updated them for the photon yet.
Thanks.
are you using facebook for your pictures? If so if im not mistaken facebook does not allow other apps to use the pictures. use syncmypix to sync the facebook pics to your gmail account and that should take care of it.

Thanks for mentioning that app. Exactly what I've been looking for.
I am using Facebook but my contact pics appear fine. They show up in my Contacts app, GMail and Handcent just not in Go SMS.
Handcent: Background images, in both the list and conversations, is very distorted.
Try going to Handcent settings -> Notification settings -> Popup settings -> scroll down to "blur background" and check or uncheck as appropriate.
Seriously?
kimmied, you are an idiot. The problem is BACKGROUND and CONVERSATION list images. How is changing the POPUP settings going to fix the problem?
people astonish me.

As the OP said. I don't know if this is a specific problem to the Motorola Photon, or not. I just got mine a couple weeks ago. But I am having the same problem. For right now, I've just been having to use a theme, and the backgrounds for those are fine. But when I try to set my own picture as the conversation list background, they are blurry and distorted. I've tried several different pictures, all HD. For me it's JUST the conversation list background. The background on the chat is fine. I have been trying to be patient and wait for a Handcent update and one was released a few days ago, but still no fix =[

lol. I was simply pointing out that people should read before they make a post.
I use GO SMS and love it. I especially like the pop-up SMS feature.

hey galaxy_s.. what astonishes me is how people pounce on someone else's mistake and try to use it to somehow prove how intelligent they are.. why didn't you offer up a solution? i don't see the point of taking the time to post when you aren't going to add anything to the discussion.. that thanks meter of yours will probably say 0 until you learn to quit acting like a child..
as far as the topic goes, I have learned over time that android handles images very inconsistently.. try using quickpic or something when you crop the picture you are using for the background.. i could be way off with that, but i know that i've had success with wallpapers by using different apps (wallpaper set & save, etc.) for cropping..
for contact pictures, do this (I apologize if this was listed or you already know it):
1. open GoSMS
2. on conversation list page hit menu
3. go to settings
4. click advanced tab
5. click appearance settings
6. click conv. list customization
7. click display contact pictures?
8. click yes
9. back out and save your customization
NOTE: it should start using it automatically but if it doesn't choose it from the user defined settings list found under the 'conv. list customization' link
if i misread what you're saying and you cant see contact pictures but you see the placeholders then the issue might be the native contact not storing contact pictures in the same place that gosms is looking for them at...
okay.. i'm done..
galaxy_s.. tell your mom to call me so she can pick up her clothes..

I have the Google Finance app on my Defy+. In the last few days I noticed that the ticker had stopped updating. Tapping on the widget gets me an incomplete share price page and the title line says "Loading" continuously - it never finishes loading
I tried uninstalling Google Finance and re-installing it from Play. The result of that was that I couldn't add a share to the ticker list at all
Fortunately I had a Ti backup of the app so I restored that, with its data, and I now have the share back in the ticker - but it's still not updating. I've tried adding a different share to the ticker and it just sits there with the sync icon in the notification area, achieving nothing.
It's as if Google Finance can't talk to Google any more. All my other network apps, including eg Google Maps, work fine.
Anyone got any ideas?
I have the same problem, but my prob only started midday today
I also have the same problem. No idea what to do.
---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------
Its like Finance has been dying a slow death. I haven't been able to get my widget to auto update at all for months on multiple phones. Now this. I really wish there was another compact widget that would simply give me the current dow. Time to move on. Anyone have any suggestions?
The app called "stocks" uses your google finance portfolios and seems to work still (indicating a server-side problem for google). I don't like it as much as Finance, but at least it works. Doesn't come with a widget, though
Thanks but I really need a home screen widget
---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
I think it says something that we are the only three people across the world making noise after Finance goes non-functional for about 3 days now.
I thought it was surprising that no one complained when the widget quit auto updating months ago. Here it goes completely dead and hardly a word.
If anyone is interested, I tried most of the widgets and this one is the only one that seemed to work and auto updated in as little as 1 min increments per the settings.

I have the same problem
For the past few days It didn't update any stock quotes. I deleted data and uninstalled then reinstalled and now it doesn't even update my portfolio from Google Finance server and can't add new stocks or do nothing. It is completely non-functional now.
I'm also having the exact same problem on HTC Evo 3D.
- App wasn't syncing
- Deleted data and lost my portfolio
- Reinstalled and still not working
- Sync icon stays in the left hand corner but it does not update
The portfolio is still available on the full/mobile websites.
Same problem here with my motor RAZR Maxx. Widget stopped updating so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now I can't get it to sync with my saved stocks.
Hmmm... yesterday I needed to rebuild my Galaxy S2 phone (had tried a different OS and had problems restoring the original). I had deleted google finance 2 days ago.
Today I reinstalled Finance, just to see.... and it's working fine! Got my portfolio reloaded and replicates prices nice & fast!
Soooo either Google Finance just started working again for everyone, or the solution to the problems reported here is some sort of delete..wipe..reinstall cycle
Good luck ladies & gents.

Apparently no reinstall needed. Wonder if by some miracle auto update started working also. We'll see when the market opens.
I sent an email to the support email address in the app and now it's working. Maybe they do read those emails.
Yup, working for me again now. Must have been a Google problem. (I did e-mail them about it twice but didn't hear anything back.)
Now all I have to do is find the RBS stock mnemonic which gives me the real current price of RBS ordinary shares. I know they're not great but 7.45p sure ain't right...
Google's Problem
I second ejstubb's assessment. I initially uninstalled / reinstalled with no resolution. As of last night, it seems to be working fine, so i can only assume it was a problem on Google's end.
Does anyone except me care about the fact that the stock monitor widget has quit auto updating months ago? I guess no one uses it?

I just checked the settings and mine was set to 4 hours. Maybe that is why I thought it wasn't auto updating. I just set it to 30 minutes.

Yes it did. I wish it would update in shorter increments, but this is better than before.

What is your phone and rom?
Hi all,
I got my Samsung Galaxy S3 last week. Its my first Android so getting used to it.
Every time i take a photo and then connect to a wifi I get a notification saying 2 photos for instant upload from google plus.
I went into the google plus settings and switched off instant upload. Yet, everytime I take a photo I still get this. If i log into my google plus account on the computer sure enough the pictures are there saying waiting to be shared,
How do i stop this from happening?
If I'm in the wrong topic I am very sorry. My first ever post
Thanks

clear the cache and data of your gallery app and reboot it will be gone.
I have PhotoSphere installed and working. But when I upload via Gallery 4.2 and/or Google+ to Google+, it's just a flat image.
What do I have to do to get it to view like Streetsview? I've Googled the crap out of this and apparently nobody on this planet has ever explained how they get Photosphere photos to Google+ to make it work.
So an answer here will be the first for humanity.
Thanks.

Hi, I have the same problem, images uploaded from mobile are flat (via share or via google+ app), have to copy the file to the pc and add them using web brwoser only, only then they look like a photosphere and not flat images.
Please help!!
In case anyone happens upon this thread while Googling for an answer for this, I finally figured this out. You have to email the photo sphere to a Gmail account (likely your own). Then, on your computer, when you open the email there will be a "Share" button beside the image. Share it from there to Google Plus, and you should be golden.
Google clearly didn't quite this one through very well, but hopefully they'll fix it in an update. I'm only running 4.2.1 at the moment, so maybe they already have.
This still happens. However with auto backup it uploads correctly!

I've recently installed Dropbox which I've used previously on a Galaxy S5 and had the photo upload set to immediately send pics or vids to my Dropbox account. However I just can't get it work on the Honor 7. I've checked everything I can including permissions, protected app settings etc but it just won't auto-upload.
Any help much appreciated.
***EDIT***
I seem to have fixed the issue. The setting to auto-upload within Dropbox was set to 'on'. I turned it to 'off' then to 'on' again and all of a sudden it started uploading all pics and vids it hadn't uploaded previously.
Hopefully this helps anyone similarly frustrated.
With my honor 7 i have the same problem.
This method works for one time only.
It doesn't do the work automatically if you have to switch button off then on manually its kind of boring...
Better solution someone ?

You're right. This is so frustrating as I'm taking photos every day. Would be interested to know if this was an issue with earlier ROM versions? I'd thought about going down the Google Drive/Photos option but tbh I don't trust Google at all and they always make something that could be so simple so unnecessarily over-complicated
