[XP][ICS] Browser and Album Apps Faults - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi, I'm using ICS (6.1.B.0.544) for a month and a half and I came across the following app faults which little or nothing interfere with the proper functioning of the phone:
1) ALBUM App (Photo Editor) - Some FX Effects are corrupted;
2) ALBUM App (Online Tab) - Facebook photos: only updates photos posted ​​by 2 FB contacts (the choice of the contacts do not have any sort of discretion and they are always the same). I have about 1500 contacts and the function worked on GB gallery. (Note: Facebook inside Xperia: Facebook Photo Extension & Friends Music&Video both checked, the latter works flawlessly in the Walkman application);
3) BROWSER App (Bookmarks) - Can't find any option ( in Accounts & Sync) to synchronize with Chrome / Google bookmarks. Note: In Chrome / Google account sync options only have encryption for passwords).
Anyone with the same faults?

[Q] Gallery & Picasa Sync Issues

I have a couple of questions regarding the Gallery on ICS and Honeycomb syncing to Picasa/Google+
1) On my Tab 10.1 (Honeycomb) I get hundreds of 'albums' which are dates, I assume they're instant uploads from Google+. How can I stop these showing in the Gallery app?
2) On my Galaxy Nexus (ICS) things are a lot neater, but I still have 'Instant Upload' and 'Posts - username' along with seperate folders for any pictures I posted in Google + Messenger (Huddles), which I apparently can't delete.
It isn't an option to turn of Picasa sync, as that's how I organise my photo's.
Any ideas?
Settings > Applications and Sync > [your Google Account] > Sync Picasa Web Albums. Uncheck the box.

Sorry; Read that exact same sentence wrong. Thats to get them to stop showing in the Gallery app on your Tab. Kinda unsure on what you're asking for the rest.
So there are albums I create 'Christmas 2011' for example, I want to see (from Picasa). There are albums Google+ creates (instant uploads, pictures from huddles etc) that I don't want to see...

[Q] Managing Contacts... several questions...

So, I recently bought SE Neo V.... I'm pretty satisfied with it. And I start managing contacts (again), linking profiles with facebook, g+ and google contacts...
Yes, It is pain in the ass, but, had to be done...
Contact management on Google is not so advanced as it should be, considering so much profiles to link with different social network profiles and Contact pictures..
1. Why pictures cropped manually (in screen wide) are shrinking later, automatically?
-my steps: Contact edit -> open facebook photos -> set as contact picture -> cropped it to screen wide -> save
It is shown propper... but later when i open contact again, it is shrinked in upper left corner. Is it because of linking it with facebook or what?
2. Is there any contact app that can link contact with face, skype, twitter, g+ etc?

S3 Gallery and Instant upload

Is it only me or ...
With "Sync Google Photos" and Sync Picassa Web Albums" activated I still cant sync my camera pictures with google+....
And the only way to make it work is to install Google+ app but then you can see picture twice in Gallery ... (one under camera pictures and the other under Instant upload folder....)
Help would be really appreciated....
What I did so far :
reset phone settings,
wipe dalvik
tried to sync with another account
tried over wifi
Sync report ok.... I have no clue !!!!
Thats how mine is. I just delete the camera photos after they sync.
Google + just uses the instant upload to put them in your private web folder. Having the sync enabled allows the phone to download those photos from your web albums and allows you to manually upload when you want. I dont think its for auto uploading like google +

So basically you mean that there is no way to sync camera photos without using Google+ app ?
I thought I could with my previous Galaxy Note... I dont understand what the "Sync Google photo" is for then....

As far as I know, not automatically. You can always go to the gallery, hold the camera folder and sync the whole album manually to wherever you want.
the link is broken on the google support site, but it use to read this:
Android 4.0 devices have a system setting that allows you to Sync Google Photos.
This setting enables syncing of your Google Photos from your web albums to your device's Gallery app. As a result, if you have a large number of photos in your web albums that have been uploaded through Picasa Web Albums or Google+, you may notice a high amount of battery or data usage during this sync.
This setting also enables or disables sync for Instant Uploads to Google+. However, to enable Instant Upload, you must enable Sync Google Photos as well as enable Instant Upload within the Google+ app

I am having trouble with background data usage from the 'Gallery' app. I think it is related to videos uploading when I'm off of wifi. In settings / accounts / gmail - I had instant upload on, and then in G+ I had to sync photos and videos only when on wifi and only when charging, but it's still using network data to background sync... and I have droidwall installed and 'gallery' is not one of the apps I white listed for network data.
Any ideas? for now I turned off background data since it didn't seem to affect any regular use of the phone and it does block the gallery app. Seems like there are quite a few options in the gmail accounts as far as photos go so not sure what they all do or what I should bother with. I do know that on my SGS, SGS2 this background usage wasn't happening and I had things setup then like I do now.

Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 - Safe-to-Freeze Apps

I've cleaned up a little bit my Player after obtaining root privileges, this thread will help you if you want to do the same.
So, below is the list of the stock apps of my Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 that I've freezed using Gemini App Manager (see attached apk, it is a free app).
Disabling those apps is good for me, but may not be good for you. The reson for this is that I don't use social services and don't own a google account, I try to use free software and avoid proprietary ones (as much as it is possible), I will try to warn in parentheses if you may need the app, but not when the name of the app says for itself (e.g. YouTube), just keep them if you use them.
For the open source and free apps I would greatly recommend the F-Droid repository, enable Unknown sources in your settings, install the F-Droid apk and use that app for obtaining free software. You can also add the Guardian Project's F-Droid repository into F-Droid's repositories list to have more nice apps.
I would recommend not to immediately remove the apps that you don't need, freeze them, let some time to pass, then you can remove them if everything is OK. Here is my list of the freezed apps:
