google+ autobackup remove ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I saw today that the auto backup function is turned on. I have stopped it.
Unfortunally i still have 13.6gb (of 15gb) of free space on my account for backup. If active sync google+ tells me that is synchronizing the image 241 of 350.So a lot of image was uploaded to google server.
I have checked all the day for a solution to remove them all. It seems there is no photo on web.
I dont want my photo on the web (i know it is a private area, but i dont like it).
How can i remove all my photo/video from google account ?

[Q] Facebook/Twitter/Google Contacts (integration)

Hey all,
So I had an issue where I tried to remove facebook account (from motoblur) and then I readded it. Since then, my contacts just don't seem to be working right.
I just linked some contacts and the names are all wrong (taking twitter name by default and showing it as the contact name, taking wrong picture (twitter instead of facebook) - facebook is selected as default). Also, when I was linking to facebook before, it would take the facebook name and replace it with the google name..now its doing the opposite.
Anyone know how to reset any of these settings without resetting the whole phone?
I"m having something similar happen.
It shows the accounts as being linked, even has the facebook account as the picture source, but doesn't allow me to change their picture to their facebook one.
Not a deal breaker, but not a good start either.

It's an issue with Twitter, SyncMyPix and some similar apps. They tend to link contacts with similar names rather than exact matches.
Disable all apps and start from scratch.
1) GMail
2) Facebook
Then, the rest.

[Q] 2-step verification and picasa upload (authentication failed)

Hello everyone,
I have a problem uploading photos to my picasa account from my sgs2. Syncing emails, contacts and calendars works pretty fine. I can also see my picasa web-albums in the gallery app and they are up to date, but when I try to upload a photo to picasa I always get the error "authentication failed".
I already removed my google account on the phone and added a it again with another application password, but the error stays the same.
The same with other applications in the market for uploading photos to a picasa account (Picasa Tool, JustPictures!). With these apps I can also view my web albums, but uploading always fails.
Does anyone else experience this error? Does it have to do something with the latest security issue of android phones (being able to steal authentication in open wifi) and the google fix? Because just two weeks earlier it worked fine with my HTC Desire. Or am I just doing something wrong?
I had the same issue with the picasa app which is already installed.
I got the 'picasa tool' from the android market which worked fine after loggin in with the google account.
Thanks for reply!
I found my problem and could resolve it!
My picasa album reached the maximum image limit (1000), so every uploaded image was rejected and all applications gave an authentication error. When I tried to upload a photo over the web interface I got another error from google "server rejected" and searching for it told me that I could have reached my limit.
Well, it would be helpful if these applications could tell the user that the album possibly reached the limit.
Anyway, I hope I can help other people who run into the same problem.
I had a similar issue that I wanted to share. The issue started after I installed Google authenticator. Everyday (usually once a day, hard to reproduce), I would get a sign in error, which would make me put in a human readable word to correct it.
Looking into it more, found that it would put error next to 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' (Settings -> Accounts & Sync) and state that it is temporarily unavailable but would never come back. This would also make the albums I have on Picasa unavailable on my phone. After removing authenticator, I would still get the same issue. VERY annoying.
I tired everything I could think of: Changing passwords, wiping the phone, forcing log out on every device accessing Google services...
Then I went to Picasa settings and disabled Analytics for my account and updated the setting. BAM... Worked ever since.
I hope this helps someone later.
Other details that may help: Evo 4G, running CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1

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.

[Q] Google+ Auto Backup

Hi, I have few questions about the feature of Google+ Auto Backup:
Since I bought my Nexus 5 all the photos I have made have been uploaded automatically to Google+, but I just have made about 2.000 photos and in my Google+ account it says I have around 10.000 images! First I thought that it uploaded all images stored in my phone (like WhatsApp images) but with all, it doesn't make 4.000 at much.
So my question is if there is any option to delete ALL the photos and images in my Google+ account without delete them in my phone, and how do that, because I want to "reupload" the images with more control of what is uploaded and what not.
I would be grateful if you can help me, and sorry for my bad english

Chrome on Android changes my settings - what to do?

Hey, I would like to know if its some option to get back the previous settings in Chrome on Android - on Lenovo TB3 730x (not rooted)?
I wasnt log in to my google account in Chrome browser on my tablet but I was log in to my several google accounts in Gmail, so every user names with its password were remembered by the browser and when I wanted to change my google account to look to gmail or another website, where I was logged by google account I didnt need to fill the password. But then I found I could sync tablet through my main google account and after this sync all my others google usernames and password were deleted - every previous autofill forms are clear. And its not even in my google account (nothing in password.google.com) sync as long as I wasnt log in before the sync.
Is there some option I can get my browser to that previous memory?
Is that somewhere in the caches or saved in internal storage?
Is it possible to find it so browser will reremember that again?
If yes how can I do it?
I am quite technical type, but not IT expert or developer .
Thank you in advance for Your recommendations and tips.
Tom
Nobody knows or have experience with that?
