How to Stop FB Pics from Showing in Gallery - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I've already stopped the sync for FB albums, cleared the data on gallery, and restarted. However, this has proved to only be a temporary fix. Does anybody else know what could be the problem?
Thanks.

Is it your Facebook app? Did you tell it to sync contacts when you installed it? Touchwiz only syncs calendar and albums by default, not contacts.

I had it sync with existing contacts. But, I'm telling it not to sync albums and yet they appear in my gallery.

not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for but from within the Gallery app, you can hit menu, view by, and then pick Content in Device.

It's not. I'm looking to have it stop showing that period.

Facebook contact sync issue

Facebook, sense, contacts, image, pictureebook acct and told it to sync to existing contacts and back when I had the OG evo the contacts would automatically be updated with their facebook profile picture. Currently after many syncing attempts, restarts, etc the contacts still don't have their facebook profile pics and when I go to edit the contacts manually to add them when I click on facebook it doesn't have a picture. Is anybody else having this issue? (btw all of the contacts I've tried to manually map all have facebook profile pictures) Does anybody know of a fix? Thanks in advance
It's been mentioned and explained before. Here is the app you need

I was having this issue also, and my issue was fixed by doing two things.
1) In facebook (website), under "Account Settings -> Apps" I deleted HTC Sense (basically revoking HTC Sense access)
2) In Android "Settings -> Accounts & sync" I deleted Facebook, then readded it and made sure Sync Contacts was checkmarked.
HTC Sense should ask again to be allowed access to Facebook. Once accepting, the contact's profile pictures started trickling in.
The thing is if you're running a custom rom, the rom dev may not have included "Facebook_Client.apk" and "FacebookEngine.apk" which are essential to syncing facebook with htc sense.

Mine says app not found when trying to download it
thanks a lot...deleting the app from facebook and the phone fixed it...appreciate your help!!
Thanks for the tips, I was wondering why the syncing didn't work because I had to go into each contact and link them individually, which of course was a pain

People Widget Contact Pic Help!

Most of my favorites I display on my people widget are linked between my google contacts and facebook profiles. No matter how many times I change them to display the google contact pic, it always changes back to their facebook profile pic after a little while.
Searched high and low with no luck. Have had the problem with stock rooted and mean-rom.
Any ideas?
I've had to go into each "favorite" contact and manually change them from facebook picture to google picture of the contact.

Yep, I've done that at least a dozen times, but It will revert back to the facebook pic. Let know if it stays for you.
I can't isolate the problem either. It seems to keep it on restart. I will even keep it when I restart sense.
My thinking is the facebook sync is overriding my settings, but I dont' know how to stop it from overriding. I still want all of my other contact to sync up...
Haxsync, sync contacts then manually select the contacts you don't want to update and turn off Facebook syncing.

Works great, thanks.
According to the settings, it doesn't look like it would do what I want. But I installed it a few days ago, and everything now works how I like it to.

Google+ photos in gallery

Does anyone know how to get albums that are on Google+ to show up in the gallery? I have Google Photos checked to sync, I'm logged into Google+, but when I go to the gallery I get a folder called "My Phone", and I don't see my online galleries anywhere. I can add online galleries from facebook, flikr, and dropbox though.
If there is no way to, can anyone recommend a third party gallery app that has this?

i think that you have to have picasa, the sync feature in google+ is for photos to be uploaded as opposed to downloaded to your gallery.
I didn't have an option for Picasa, but I found that if I download the app "Picasa Tool", it lets me view my Google+ albums and I can share it from within there.

Picasa/Gallery sync not working

Hey all,
Am I missing something or did the Picasa web sync disappear from Accounts-> Google? Every phone to date I've had, my Picasa web albums sync to my gallery, but not on the V10.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I think it was replaced with Photo...
So is there no way to make this work again? I installed 3D Cool Album or something, which integrates with Picasa. On install, it asks me to grant permissions to Picasa web album; however after granting it, the "sign in permission required" stays in the task bar.
