Hi.
Do I have to install an app to auto sync my photos to google account? I remember when I had my old lg gt540 that i didn't need google+ to autosync pictures that i take with my phone. it all went to picassa.
I just flashed a new rom on my xperia u but under google acout i see no option to sync pictures.
one other thing. I cant seem to find the google search app so I can add the widget.
Thanks

Hi, after the upgrade to the new facebook app my contacts photos stopped updating along with facebook photos.
I've managed to update the photos by cleaning the facebook cache, going to the facebook app in the friends page and waiting for all the pictures to load up. But this is a very unpleasant thing to do all the time I want a contact picture updated.
Is there any automatic way to update the facebook cache photos so the contacts photos would also update? It would be nice also if I could have an automatic way to make the contacts pick the facebook photos and not the google account ones.
I tried syncmypix, but the photos wouldn't focus on my friends face as facebook does, so many photos were cropped in the wrong place and also would take forever to update. A more intelligent way to update the photos would be appreciated.
I would like to know as well?
You could try deleting the Facebook app, and using an older version?
If that doesn't work, it is a problem with Facebooks stupid sync crap, which doesntvload unless every picture is saved in its local cache.
Another thing, a new Google account without any contacts in it may be a way to go, just before you do, back your phone contacts into a .vcf file.
Hope it helps,

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.
Hi All,
I use to have the option sync with Picasa under google account but it is no longer there. I also no longer see it under my Gallery neither. I am currently on JB 4.1.1 I605VRALL4. Any one know how I can get this back? I know there are many other 3rd party that I can use to view my Picasa pics but I like to have under Gallery if all possible. TIA.
never mind, I found my answer, it is automatically synced and the option is under google plus I believed.
Hi all,
i've looked around for this app but all i found was few up-loaders & viewers for Flikr. What i basically want is setup a sync between my Flickr account & phone gallery &then after a press of button both sides are synced. I can do it now but manually via the official Flickr app but it's too time consuming (not the upload part, the manual photo selection part).
Pls suggest me app for above, any suggestions are appreciated! :good:
I suppose there is no such app?
sorry to be lazy ... but i havent checked lately, is there such app available now?
hello everyone. I recently bought an HTC wildfire and then rooted it via unrevoked. then I got cyanogen mod 7 and changed the rom to gingerbread from stock froyo. everything is working fine except my Google account doesn't sync with the phone. wats app and Facebook are
working ok. I desperately need help in this regard.
Have you tried to remove your account and sign in again or have you rebooted your phone and then tried?
