Hey all,
Am I missing something or did the Picasa web sync disappear from Accounts-> Google? Every phone to date I've had, my Picasa web albums sync to my gallery, but not on the V10.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I think it was replaced with Photo...
So is there no way to make this work again? I installed 3D Cool Album or something, which integrates with Picasa. On install, it asks me to grant permissions to Picasa web album; however after granting it, the "sign in permission required" stays in the task bar.

Hi everybody,
Wondering if anyone know how can I make Picasa Integration on my Atrix?
I was badly surprised not to see that out of the box. Not what you expect to see from Motorola.
Thanks

If you set up a picasa account you will be able to upload to a picasa album (menu --> settings --> accounts --> add account).
You can also google "nexus one gallery apk" and you should be able to easily find the apk for this app. You will need to either root your phone or use sideload wonder machine to install. Once installed it will show all of your albums in picasa.
I just found the answer to this. Look on the Market for an app called (not surprisingly) "Gallery" with the normal Froyo Gallery icon.
As soon as you install it it will ask to use your Picasa credentials to connect to Picasa and voila - you now have local and Picasa pictures in your 3D Gallery just like native Froyo.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, upload action worked but still no Picasa integration in photo gallery.
Wrote a complain to Motorola still waiting for respond.
Thanks

Yeah, but this one is definitely better......
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media&feature=search_result
uses the Cooliris skin that the Captivate had and works great to display Picasa galleries - just looked this up earlier because I wondered where my Picasa folders went on the gallery EVEN THOUGH the stupid Moto Blur account listings has my Picasa account sync'd! FOR WHAT if you're not going to display the folders in the gallery???
When opening the Gallery receive the information "Failed to Download list of Albums".
The error occurred after the last update. Factory reset didn't help. Anyone have this problem?
Don't worry, I get it also. Seems to not really mean anything as the albums still load up with no problem. Also if you press refresh it'll say the same thing. Just a s/w bug.
Seems to happen to more people running 4.0.3. (search the forum)
And my albums are not loading
It has also been reported as an issue to the android code project on google.
Issue #24588
Hope this will be fixed soon

If your albums won't load, just use Quick Pic album from marketplace. It's a free app. Its good and will work for you till this bug is fixed. Seems like a problem across all devices with latest ICS version.
You probably have Picasa web album sync disabled in your settings. Enable it and you will not get that message but you will then download any photo you have in your Picasa web album, including your Google+ profile picture... The setting is located settings>accounts and sync>your Gmail account

Actually I do have sync enabled, as I want to have my albums synced from the web. Perhaps disabling will help.
I've already stopped the sync for FB albums, cleared the data on gallery, and restarted. However, this has proved to only be a temporary fix. Does anybody else know what could be the problem?
Thanks.

Is it your Facebook app? Did you tell it to sync contacts when you installed it? Touchwiz only syncs calendar and albums by default, not contacts.

I had it sync with existing contacts. But, I'm telling it not to sync albums and yet they appear in my gallery.

not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for but from within the Gallery app, you can hit menu, view by, and then pick Content in Device.

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.
Everyone,
I have two issues with my new HTC EVO 4G LTE and I was hoping some folks here on the forum may be able to help. I think both are related to my use of a Google Apps account as opposed to a standard GMail account (Google Apps lets me get Gmail through Google using my own domain name). My two issue are:
1.) Access to Picasa Web Albums within the HTC Gallery application. When I attemp to browse my Picasa albums I always get the error "The user has no albums to display" despite having several public albums. I have verified that my Google account does have Google Photos and Picasa Web Album syncing enabled in the phone settings.
2.) Syncing of tasks to my Google Apps account. When I create the task on the phone, everything works great but when I sync that task to my Google Apps account, multiple copies of the task appear on the calendar application. In addition, when the task is viewed on a computer or other device, the task appears a day later than originally scheduled.
HTC says they are "aware of the problems" but have no ETA on a fix. I was hoping someone here may have a solution or that a solution may have been pushed into on the many ROMS available (i.e. MeanROM). Any help or information would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Brian
