facebook app not displaying friends/photos/about tab - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the latest facebook app installed on my kindle fire running CM9 Reloaded v1.3. Unfortunately when I browse a profile of any of my friends it does not display the about/friends/photos/locations tabs under the profile picture and basic info, no matter if the friend is using timeline or not. The result of that is that I can not browse the photo galleries of my friends. The only pictures I can access is the profile pics album by clicking on their profile picture or then some pictures which are recently uploaded and displayed on the timeline somewhere.
Anyone have any ideas what could be the case?

[Q] I wish facebook app in htchd2 to show thumbnails of photo albums. Can it happen ?

Ok I am using HTC HD2. It comes with facebook application which I believe is very good to work with. Gives much better sharp screen than using browser to log into facebook. My only wish is that the facebook app shows thumbnails of the photo albums. When you enter into the photo album it shows full size images one at a time and we cannot select which picture we want to see. Can someone please help if it is possible to have picture thumbnails on Facebook App ( Facebook for windows mobile) .Please help.
You maybe in luck my friend. There is a facebook app in beta at the mo it's called xda facebook and Joe the maker says he is working on how photos should be viewed at the mo. So give it a go for a start it's a hell of a lot better then the windows app already so you can't loose. Just search for it on this site.

[Q] Picasa integration

Hi everybody,
Wondering if anyone know how can I make Picasa Integration on my Atrix?
I was badly surprised not to see that out of the box. Not what you expect to see from Motorola.
Thanks

If you set up a picasa account you will be able to upload to a picasa album (menu --> settings --> accounts --> add account).
You can also google "nexus one gallery apk" and you should be able to easily find the apk for this app. You will need to either root your phone or use sideload wonder machine to install. Once installed it will show all of your albums in picasa.
I just found the answer to this. Look on the Market for an app called (not surprisingly) "Gallery" with the normal Froyo Gallery icon.
As soon as you install it it will ask to use your Picasa credentials to connect to Picasa and voila - you now have local and Picasa pictures in your 3D Gallery just like native Froyo.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, upload action worked but still no Picasa integration in photo gallery.
Wrote a complain to Motorola still waiting for respond.
Thanks

uses the Cooliris skin that the Captivate had and works great to display Picasa galleries - just looked this up earlier because I wondered where my Picasa folders went on the gallery EVEN THOUGH the stupid Moto Blur account listings has my Picasa account sync'd! FOR WHAT if you're not going to display the folders in the gallery???

[Q] Gallery display selection & order problems

Hi all
Just got my new S3 today, came across from a HTC and boy this thing's not as intuitive to set up or sync contacts as Sense is. Anyway, that aside, I have a strange problem with the gallery and pictures I've uploaded to the phone.
Firstly, every time I open gallery, it displays all my locally stored photos and also all my Facebook albums. I select "View files on this device" and it drops my facebook photos off, butbwhen I quit the gallery and come back to it later it does thecsame, there doesn't seem to be a way to grt it to remember my default choice of local photos only.
Secondly, I have about a dozen folders with photos, all resized ftom originals I took on my camera to save size, and I've changed their file name using "Thailand Photo 001" "Thailand Photo 002" 003 004 etc. They were all renamed using a batch renamer so their creation date/time stamp is the same. They are in folders named "01 Thailand", "02 Vietnam" "03 Cambodia" etc.
When I use the stock S3 Gallery app, not only are the folders displayed in reverse order from the highest number back to 01, all the photos are displayed in reverse order too, from the highest to the lowest. In Quickpic they all display fine.
My girlfriends non-ICS Galaxy Note displays the albums in the right order, but the photos reversed also.
Apart from using Quickpic, I'm loathe to leave the stock gallery app because if the face recognition and tagging etc, has anybody else seen this problem, maybe on an S2 or somewhere? I've emailed Samsung tech support but I don't have much faith in them - I emailed them previously querying the ICS update for the Note and they emailed back saying they had no information on it.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
I may have an idea about your Facebook pics problem, but that would disable syncing your Facebook photos to your Gallery altogether.
Go to Settings - Accounts and sync - Add account
There should be 2 options for Facebook
The first, simply called Facebook, is generated by having the Facebook app installed on your phone and will not sync your Facebook photos at all
The second, called Facebook (for syncing) should be inherent to the phone and will sync your photos. Remove that account and no more Facebook pics in your gallery
Thanks...
I just typed out a complete answer to you, popped to another tab and came back to find the page reloaded, so I'll keep this brief!
Re gallery issue - Samsung say it'll display photos newest first and that's that, the phone won't do it any other way, so my gallery shows my folders and photos in reverse order, ie newest photo at top descending to oldent, and the most recently crested sub-folder at the top - regardless of the file naming order.
I then emailed photos of the "My Files" app showing the correct file order - ie oldest at the top, descending to newest, and folders in the correct descending order, showing that an app can use the name & date correctly and in the 'correct' descending order - and also screenshots of QuickPic showing folders in the correct <001 trip part 1><002 trip part 2><003 trip part 3> order.
Samsung then backtracked in saying ok the phone can do it but the gallery can't, but their way is the correct way.
I pointed out that, ascseen in the screenshots, Gallery actuallt displays folders out of both date and file name order, but they skipped over that. I'll just have to either live with it or just use QuickPic.
Thanks for your advice re the facebook photos - I removed Facebook sync, and google pic sync, and no more Facebook or picasa pics!

Gallery does not show online pics in JB

After upgrading to JB all my online Picasa pictures are gone. I have about 60 online albums in Picasa and I used to view them online with Gallery (not in offline mode). Now album titles are displayed, but all pictures are grey boxes. I can even tap the album and "see" its content - several grey boxes. Tapping "synchronize" in the menu does not help.
The only way to see these pictures is to make them available offline. However, I don't want to download hundreds of my Picasa pictures to the tablet. I just want to see them online, as it used to be.
Local pictures from the tablet are not affected.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Not only did I have this problem, but its easy to fix. Go into apps settings and clear data for your gallery. Problem solved!
Edit: Give it a minute, it has to re-sync all of the pics.
Brilliant! A very simple solution and it works!

Slightly related. I notice that the gallery app is called gallery2. In the sync menu there is Google picture and picasa web pictures.
Now on my nexus it only has Google pictures and groups all of my Google+ images in one folder whilst my prime has them all shown grouped under the date.
Anyone managed to swap the gallery over without root? Or does it not exist because I can't find it or change it over.

[Q] Sync Picasa albums with multiple accounts

I have my pictures loaded on Google Picasa. I can see the pictures in my Android Gallery app.
Id like to see my pictures also on my wife's gallery app. So far I havent been able to.
Ive tried adding my google account. Tried adding her to My Circles (Goggle++ thing) and having the albums shared to that group.
Anyone know if its possible?
Only way so far is to just give her a link to my pictures, in which she can then use the browser to see them. But sure beats the purpose of having them for offline viewing on her phone. BTW, from what I read, Gallery is going away for 5.0, and offline viewing of online pictures will be removed.
