Okay, after taking a picture, when in the gallery, it gives you numerous options to share the photo, like text message, gmail, email, facebook, picasa, google+
for some reason, the "picasa" share option doesn't work. this is what i want to use cause i can get a url for a picture the fastest way.
when i choose to upload, after i set a name for the photo, i get "failed to retrieve account information" and it exits.
does anyone know why this doesn't work?

Hi, just tested it and its working here no problem.
Hmmm, it was initially working on my vibrant, and then at one point I remember it stopped working. I'm not sure why it stopped working on my vibrant, but that carried over to my new phone. my picasa albums are syncing perfectly fine in my gallery though.
Try to uninstall drop box if you have it installed. It used to be an issue in the past. Drop box stopped Picasa.

I've never used PICASA before and am wanting to use it today...
so i tried it.
I went to my gallery, chose a picture...
menu
share
then chose picasa
Then it goes to this screen where it shows uploading to Picasa and wants me to put in captions and etc. then it VERY FAST goes to a screen where you know you get when your adding a google account. I asks me to make/sign in on a account.
I chose sign in and it says "this email is already associated with this phone..."
What does this mean?
Hmmm. Have you checked out picasaweb on the desktop/laptop? Maybe fiddle around and check it out (same account as your phone) and then try again. Which app? picasatool? Docspics? Well.....picasa is how I roll.... its great. Takes getting used to but its effective.
I wonder, since you added the Picasa piece after you logged on your phone if your current phone login dataset just isn't seeing the Picasa part.
Try powering off entirely. Make sure you have access to your Picasa stuff from a pc or mac or whatever (standard browser) then logout from there. Power up, go into "Accounts & Sync" in Settings , go into your login email adress and see if Picasa shows up there as a sync.option with gmail, contacts, calendar, and anything you've added. It should, but if it doesn't, there's a place to add stuff; I think. Check the box to sync. Then when you try to upload you shouldn't get the login prompt.
If.you're still having trouble, you may want to see if there's anything in the Picasa Google forums, too.

Guys its working now just randomly, thanks for all the instructions!
Really appreciate it!
Hey guys, is anyone missing options to include as attachments in the gmail app? The regular mail app has options to include locations, vCards, videos, voice recordings, etc.
i have the attachments option in gmail,
but i don't have as many options as the stock mail app, either.
i would think that the MAIL app simply has all of them as pre-sets, but if you use GMAIL then you can simply navigate to them using the pop-up suggestion of 'file explorer' or any other apps like 'andro-zip' that you have installed (which also popped up in my gmail attachment option)
Yes, that would be a viable option if I wanted to send something like a document, picture, etc. However, it would be nice to have the integration of the vcard, capture picture/video, send GPS coordinates, and other items that are not specific files on my phone.

good point
although some of those are indeed possible--but strictly from the app in which you would find them (*GPS--Maps app, for example)--
it would indeed be nicer to have just one starting place (gmail) from which all of those could be shared.
I was thinking the functionality was missing, but it seems like it was never implemented? I just looked at my Xoom and it only has my file browser and gallery. I thought my HTC Touch was able to attach these items, but I can't remember as it has been over a year since I have messed with it. Plus it was running some other hero Rom or something like that...

anyone else here use go sms? i can't figure out why, but for the contact pictures, it's pulling everyones picture from their google picture i have on there (which was from syncmypix like MONTHS ago, so they're all outdated)
i have checked "pull pictures from facebook" and have checked email, name and number..and it doesn't work. this worked correctly on my incredible, and it was able to pull their facebook images in gosms fine...won't work with the rezound.
anyone else have any insight? i'm wondering if it's because they got rid of Facebook for HTC Sense and only use the facebook app for syncing now :\
Mine has Display Facebook avatars checked and I have it Match by Name. It seems to prefer facebook avatars over what are in my google contacts. Not sure if any of that helps you :/
wtf mines opposite, it shows google pics over facebook, which is really annoying lol
Mines the same, if I have any Google photos, it shows those instead of Facebook. Where as it shows Facebook on GO Contacts. No matter how I configure the settings. It's weird. Lol.
I had this same issue. What I found out, is the official Facebook app does not support access to the friend photos by third party apps. That's why it uses the google contact photo instead.
The older phones had Facebook for HTC Sense, that obviously is not the official facebook app so it allowed third party access to the photos. I have run into the same issue with SMS popup. Try using Friend Caster to sync facebook photos to your contacts, that'll allow third party apps to access the photos.
I just deleted google photos and it defaulted to the Facebook ones

i cant confirm this works but i have heard it works..

let me know if it does
guys, great responses!
i didn't know friendcaster replaced facebook in terms of contact pics..i tried using it once and didn't really like it's UI.
as for that script, i'm going to run that tomorrow. i'm perm rooted, so he says you should just be able to push some lines of code to get it to work. great find, guys!!
I'm a huge fan of GoSMS, its definitely the best out of the third party sms apps on the Android market!
Handcent on the other hand seems to display up to date contact pictures. Which does it take from though, Google contacts or the Facebook app?
So basically GoSMS previously synced pictures from HTC Sense's Facebook, but now in Sense 3.5 it no longer exists being replaced by the offical Facebook app which doesn't allow access by 3rd party apps :/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I know this thread has been quiet for a couple weeks, but just wanted to confirm that did indeed do the trick. I use Handcent normally, but I did download Go SMS real quick to test and that showed my contact pictures again too.
Hi Guys,
Got myself a SIII. Rooted it and added superSU according to Chains tutorial..
I have some problems with facebook, and was wondering whether anyone can help..
Firstly, after linking the accounts. Some of the photos appear as blank. Anyone have a clue? Those that have photos, are really blur.
Also, outside app such as Whatsapp are not picking up those contact photos.
I'm moving from an HTC so i am amazed that samsung has this problem. Is there a solution such as "Facebook for HTC Sense".
Am i just doing it wrong? many thanks for any help
Hi.
Your case is the same as mine. I came from the HTC Desire HD, which all the contacts were always synchronized with Facebook, no problems with photos and etc.
I posted the same questions here a few weeks ago, and from what I got, the ICS has some compatibility issues with Facebook, that's why it sync just a few contacts and also the quality is terrible.
The solution that people told me, was to use 3rd party softwares to make this sync. There is quite a few on market that does that. Just look for "facebook photo sync".
The solution I adopted, was to set the photos of facebook for my contacts manually, and I just realized how to do that now. Since I don't have many contacts, I entered quickly on their facebook profile, went to the photo I wanted and selected the option "set as contact photo".
To enter on their contact, I was doing directly by my contact phone list (because the facebook was linked correctly... just the photo that wasn't appearing).
The quality with that also gets better and when I enter on What's App now, is everything fine.
Hope it helps!
Where'd you get that baby?

Here are two softwares that does that:
Haxsync :

FriendCaster : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree
Here is the topic I made with some other answers:

Those two apps didnt work really well for me. The app that worked best for me was an app called "Contact Picture Sync". Did everythin i wanted.
Thanks for all the help guys
I'm currently running CM10-20121210-Nightly-d2spr.
I was trying it to see if I can get the camera to work and of course it still doesn't focus so I've pretty much given up on the camera ever working again. I guess I can live with that but the one thing I cannot live without on my phone is the gmail not working.
I can receive emails just fine but it will not send emails. It says "sending" when I press send and acts like it's working but it never leaves the phone.
Also, now when I delete an email in my gmail account it is not deleting on my desktop. So I guess I have two problems, the "SEND" feature is not working and it's no longer syncing with my desktop.
Any help, suggestions?
Sorry - found the solutuion after posting
But if anyone else is having the same problem..
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, Gmail, then click on clear data. You may also try rebooting after that.
