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.

but i don't have any pictures in my google plus account..yes it's apk. I can't delete it. i'm not rooted.
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 t worked like a charm.*Good luck!

Anyone.. need helps here. I tried to change my Google account. In 1.6 I usually go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Google Apps -> Click Clear data button.
But I couldn't find mine here... Please help anyone.. I think to reflash but afraid that will not solve the problem too.
I already tried to flash but not wipe all the data. But still no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Apparently there is NO Clear Button in Google Apps app like before at 1.6 . I already did factory reset my phone but still not there.
So how can I change my google account just like 1.6 did? This is weird.
Btw apparently GTalk App is VERY RELATED to Market App. So never touch it. (I wipe the Gtalk data and my market won't work anymore). Cannot find solution yet if we unintentionally touch the GTalk.
Another thing, Setup Guide app is IMPORTANT to GMail app to add another account. I removed it (Setup Guide app) before in order to optimize my phone but my Gmail app keep crashing when adding another account.
Now that my Nook is rooted, I'm trying to find a contact manager that will sync with Google contacts. Not having the phone portion of the Android system makes it difficult to load contacts!
Any ideas?
I have also been looking for this without luck. Every contacts app that I have tried force closes. I even copied the CM7 stock app from my Nook Color to my Tablet, but got the same result. Seems something is missing from our Android build....but I don't know what....
I'm using Go Contacts. It's free on the Market.
That did it! Thanks.

I'm having a hard time getting Go Contacts to sync with my gmail contacts for some reason.
I all I have to do is download/install, and then make sure it shows my gmail account in the app??
Update
And I need to learn to try every possible thing before I ask for help...I'm not actually retarded, I promise.
For those who are having problems with getting your contacts to sync:
1)Download and install Go Contacts
2)Open Go Contacts
3)Press Menu Key
4)Press Setting Icon
5)Press Backup and Recovery
6)Press Account Sync
7)Select whichever account's contacts you want to sync
8)Check the box to begin syncing Contacts
Anyone had problems creating or editing contacts? I found that for me, this and other functions weren't working until I installed the stock email app using Indirect's method. (Thread is in this same section.)
Now Go Contacts properly allows me to add/edit contacts (I guess it needs to use an outside contact editor for this, and B&N's stock doesn't work.) Now contacts-to-email functions properly.
A nice bonus is that street addresses will open in Google Maps (or Google Earth if you have either installed) and phone numbers will open a chat in textPlus.
I think the stock email app also fixed some issues with other contact managers that were crashing or giving 'no application for that' errors before. I was curious and reinstalled a few that had failed before, and some worked. But overall, none seem as seamless as Go Contacts, so I wouldn't recommend anything else.
I have the stock email installed as well as go contacts...they sync fine but I still can not edit or add contacts...both installed to system/app and both have permissions set to:
Read write
Read

Can not get go contact to edit/add
I shut down and restarted....no luck...anyone have any ideas? Maybe remove the stock social.apk?

When you say you can't get go contact to edit/add, what happens when you tap the edit icon on the top right of the screen? Can you actually edit the details? Do the changes not save?
Go Contacts works perfectly for me.
Nothing happens when I press the + button. When I long press on a contact it takes me to a menu so I can choose edit...but nothing pulls up. Thanks for responding
Anybody know where I can get the apk for Go Contacts? I see it's not in the Amazon App Store and I don't want to send it to my phone to get the apk. Thanks.

Do you have a google account set up?
When I hit the + it says "Create contact under account" and lists the gmail account I set up for the stock email account. When I choose it, I can create new contacts.
Edit brings up the same contact editor under the same account.
Good afternoon. I am also a delighted owner of xperia s but I have some problems.
I don't know the way to uninstall applications. For example in the folder setting/account settings and sync I have facebook and gmail. How can I uninstall these? And specifically in the facebook acoount there is an option about picassa sync.I want to remove it but there is no way.
On my previous galaxy s there was a folder where there were all the applications and there was a button " uninstall " next to each app.
Also i can't free up my memory. How can I do this?? Please help.

1. Pre-installed applications are not always uninstallable - this is on Samsung too. However, just like on all Android devices, you can go Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications and uninstall what can be uninstalled.
2. Free up your memory? Which one? RAM, local etc? The Xperia S has more than enough of internal memory and RAM, I'm not sure what issue you are having unless you were so limited by the Samsung that you are now paranoid.
Thanks
Thanks for the help
I second that.. And you also can uninstall applications from the applications menu.. Just click on the right bottom icon and you can see which applications that can be uninstalled with X marked on them.. Click on them and it'll ask you if you want to uninstall.. This is easier that going to settings every time

Thank you all. As for the memory, I don't have any problem but I would like to know how we can free up the memory.Does anyone know how??
Also what about the picasa web album sync? How can I deactivate it on my gmail account?
to stop picassa you need to go to the "Google+" app log in then go to photos once that opens press the options hot key and go to settings, scroll down and un check automatic uploads.

I did what you say but the option picasa sync still exists on my gmail account. I want to remove this option.Somewhere in this forum I read that you can remove it so that it does't consume battery.

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.
