Re: Please help DELETE INSTANT UPLOAD FOLDER ON PHONE?
I called Sprint and spoke to a tech. What you need to do is go to your Gmail on the web browser in desktop mode. Click on the tab that says "more", then click on the tab that says "drive." Make sure you're still in desktop mode on the "Welcome to Google Drive" screen. On that screen you're going to want to select the "more" tab again and a drop down selection box appears and you want to select the "photos" option. Once in there, you should be able to delete single photos or entire albums from instant upload. Once deleted here, they no longer appear on your device. I just did it, and it worked like a charm.
Good luck!

Can you find the folder where those photos are? If you can see it using a file manager, create a file inside that folder and name it .nomedia
Disable Instant Upload in your Google+ settings. Or under Settings > Accounts and sync, IIRC
Seriously, don't people read anymore? G+ prompted if you wanted to enable Instant Upload, and even gave a short description of it.

sorry dude,but I don't have Google+ installed on my phone,so no problem over there,anyways thanks
I got a Galaxy S3 (International Edition) just yesterday
I enabled it to pull stuff from my google accounts, but then when I'm going to open the contacts, I see a bunch of my gmail contacts
How can I remove those from the phone? Selecting to display 'only contacts with phones' seems to fix it, but the email contacts are still available to be seen if one goes to settings and sets to display all contacts again
The same happens with the gallery application, it has like one album for each image I've ever published in Google+, I can set it to display only images from the phone, but then this is not a permanent setting, everytime I exit the Gallery app and re-enter it, it will display all the images from G+ (and I've heard that it will scan the microSD at launch for images, so it will become a clutter of every possible image it can find in the SD)
I have now disabled the sync of google contacts / g+ stuff to the phone, from settings -> accounts and sync -> uncheck sync google photos/google+/picasa web albums/contacts, so it doesn't pull down new stuff anymore, but the old stuff is still there
Is there any way to remove that?
Is there a good gallery app that will not scan the whole SD for media, nor will pull stuff from picasa/google+?
Thanks!
quick pic is the gallery app for you, you can select which folders to see, or just long press a folder and hit exclude

I'm also using quick pic and happy with it. Simple but does the work better then stock gallery app.
...so it doesn't pull down new stuff anymore, but the old stuff is still there

Now just delete local files and you should be fine.
If you have a lot of them I would suggest to use File Browser such as ASTRO.
there are some folders in my gallery that i cannot open nor delete and it shows that there are no pics in them but still take up like 83 mb. This started happening the first time i connected my phone to the computer and when i reconnect it, the folders dissapear until i take a pictur then all three folders reappear. here is what it looks like
Those are shared folders from other devices connected to the same wifi router.

Access your Gmail account from your PC (or even the browser on the desktop settings). Go into settings and disable or delete Picasa from there.

I can't find anything in settings related to picasa, do you know where abouts in settings.
Hi guys, i've been trying to do this for hours...i have read many many many posts. I have turned off all sync option to google plus and picasa...i am not uploading anything to google plus or picassa. On my google plus account i have deleted ALL my albums and photos...same on picassa. But for the love of god i can not delete them from my phone. I have cleared the cache, tried rebooting and NOTHING has helped. PLEASE HELP. I need them off of my phone.
Your settings in the Google + are probabily on auto sync, or some settings there. If nothing help, than uninstall Google + . If your Google + is system apk, than you can uninstall with some debloater or best with Titanium Backup apk.

Hi,
I always get TIFF files to my Gmail, and I used to open these files via the Gmail email app in my GS2.
But, since a month ago, the TIFF files are displaying very small, like a very small image.
I didnt make any changes to the ROM, or didnt install anything that may cause it.
I checked all TIFF files, and they displayed perfectly in PC or in iPhone.
Any idea what can I do?
Thanks
Hey
Anyone has an idea?
Tnx
You can use a diffetent picture viewer.

Anyone has an idea of opening tif in defualt mail app?
Just an idea....could be way off base...but....
The email app may recently have received an update.....
Select apps or manage apps in settings, select the email app from the list, and see if an option to 'uninstall updates' is visible. If it is, select it and reboot your phone....
Otherwise, try a different email app....
