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...
ok so i got this phone around 20 days back. i set up the fb account (both in Android app for fb and facebook inside Xperia), and have synced the contacts. but i dont see my contacts being "synced" in real sense. i mean, when i see my contacts, they are just normal contacts, without pictures without the status updates and profile link. as if the FiX is not even working.
ok i know there are apps that allow me to sync pictures from fb and merge them with my contacts, but shouldnt the default well known Facebook inside Xperia work on its own?
am i doing something wrong here?
Settings - Accounts and Sync - Facebook account - Set what you want to be synced.

well, it is weird if you have done all that you sad previous.
I guess you missed something in order to setting the Facebook for Xperia to run properly. but, if you didn't miss anything, perhaps you can repair it by PCC or SEUS or flash it again using flashtool.
Follow this

And you will see both Facebook and phone contacts. Then you can put together these contacts, which are the same. The system doesn't place FB and contacts together, even if the name is the same(I think).
i sorted out the issue using the app called facebook contact sync!
Check out performance assistant app, turn on facebook inside xperia
Note : it may decrease phone performance, I suggest you to turn off features you don't want, such as ANT+...
Edit : sorry I think you are in 4.0.4, but you are 2.3.x

I'm experiencing the same issue on my Mini. I had never used Facebook for Xperia, but reading this thread I decided to give it a try. And here are my results:
The first screen shows a phone contact which has been synchronized with both Facebook for Android and Facebook for Xperia. As you can see, I have his phone number (Cellulare) and the only thing I managed to sync is his birthday (Data di nascita).
The second screen shows a contact I don't have in my phone. It's been synchronized with both Facebook for Android and Facebook for Xperia, and all I can see is his Name, his birthday and that he's married. Interesting.
The third screen shows a contact I don't have on my phone. It's been synchronized with both Facebook for Xperia and Skype. As you can see, his personal picture (from Skype) is correctly shown, together with informations from both Skype and Facebook.
Other synchronizations (calendar and photo albums through Facebook for Xperia) work just fine. Contacts seem to be bugged.
I thought it could depend on the fact I had frozen Timescape and its extensions. I tried and unfroze everything, but nothing changed.
I don't think it's because I'm using exDialer&Contacts as a system app (switched with Titanium Backup), could it be?
your phone doesnt simply sync the contacts that are only in your phonebook (ie with a number). it brings in all the contacts from whatever accounts you've setup for sync. so its actually showing you all the contacts, phone contacts (with number), gmail contacts, fb contacts and skype, plus any other service that you would setup to sync.
in contacts, touch menu and select filter, choose the account you want to see contacts from. and you're done

Looks like you didn't understand the problem, or didn't read my post at all.
Ok i got today similar problem. I sit for it for half hour and problem solved. Just make sure you have activated
1. menu --> performance assistant --> facebook inside xperia
2. in settings --> xperia --> facebook inside xperia
then for sure deleted all facebook acconunts in settings --> accounts and sync and manually add account FACEBOOK INSIDE XPERIA
if is all right you must see in this account three items (albums in gallery,calender,contacts)
Now just sync it and after few momments check contacts list.
If you help this pleas write and hit thanks button

Timescape has nothing to do with Facebook in Xperia.
I don't see a problem there. Only the info, that you can see on the person's profile, is available on your phone. In some cases, if the name matches fully(first and last name set properly), then contacts are placed together, if not then 2 separate contacts.

There are not separate contacts. The contacts are automatically merged, and you can see it from the first picture. A phone contact (I only have his phone number) is merged with the information from Facebook (his birthday) but I can't see his personal picture or his facebook posts.
But maybe this is just how it should work. I don't know. I was sure that Facebook for Xperia would have synchronized Pictures and Facebook status as well.

The pictures should be synchronized, I got that feature on gingerbread, status only if you had set it to do it(Contacts-Settings, I think).
I didn't have chance to test it on ICS.
Contacts are only merged if first and last name match. On my phone, it didn't happen, as importing contacts from another phone resulted in whole name in Last name section.

Hello guys,
did you noticed that we have only gmail widget? I cannot see any email (for exchange for example) widget.
It's on mine!
I'm also missing the e-mail widget. Did you ever find a solution?
I was also worried about this, I use mainly my work Exchange Email rather than Gmail, and I had Gmail Widget but no one for the email app.
I tried replacing (with Root Explorer, you can rename the original apk to apk1 and copy this instead) the stock email app with the one from Xperia T, that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898425
It worked for my Xperia P, first I got a FC when launching the email app, but deleted all data from App (from App Manager) reconfigured and it worked nice, with a working email widget.
I have problem with stock Gallery app and facebook intergration into Gallery. On X10S v9 works fine. But, now I am on ThJap v.17, and FB intergrations with Gallery dont work at all. I have other FB inside Xperia intergrations (Contacts, Calendar), but Gallery couldn't show facebook albums.
Then I delete existing SemcGallery in System/App folder, and replace with SemcGallery app which I previous extact from X10S v.9 Rom, set permissions, and reboot. Facebook Albums finally showed in Gallery, but now I can't access any picture in Gallery, even camera pictures. Thumbnails are shown, but when I choose any picture to see, it's start loading and after second, Gallery get force closed. I try to wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, Fix permissions in Xrecovery, but nothing helps. Anyone have solution for this???

I think you'll find a (maybe partial) solution there:

It's a same Gallery app. Doesn't synchronize with Facebook Albums.
