Hi,
I gave a new HTC Inspire to my wife to replace her Iphone 3G.
On my Samsung Captivate I have to possibility to sync my picassa account with my phone, to do that, under account I have a box to check "sync picassa web albums", but I don't see this option on her HTC.
Any idea?
Go to HTC Hub and add it from the go to apps and plug-ins and you will find it there along with LinkedIn and HTC media link News.

I read that the gallery can show folders from your picasa web albums account. Anything special that I need to do to make this work? I have successfully uploaded pictures and it has all my login info stored. It just never shows me folders from my web albums.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
in your settings> accounts & sync > choose your google account > make sure sync picasa web albums is checked.
thats all i did and it works perfectly!
hope this helps.
I looked there but for some reason mine doesn't have Picasa on that list. It only has Contacts, Gmail and Callendar. I only signed up for Picasa about a week ago, which was after I set up the account on my phone. Maybe it doesn't think I have Picasa so it doesn't display the option to sync it for me? Any idea how I can refresh it?

Interesting.. i have the same issue on my other HD2 belonging to my wife.. what can we do?
Ur not supposed to see Picasa in Accounts.....just make sure the Google or Gmail account associated with the Picasa u have pix in is your primary account u use to house your contacts or log in your Android phone...
I'm still having trouble with this. I have no option to sync with picasa. I see no settings anywhere on my phone or google account to enable this either.
Any ideas?

Have you already set up the Picasa Web Albums part of it? You need to link Picasa to Web Albums first and then it should eventually show up in your account sync list.

Picasa is linked to my Web Albums. I can download, upload, sync etc between Picasa 3 and Picasa web albums (not that google has done a great job with syncing those two things either, but it works).
I just downloaded another album and uploaded another file between picasa3 and picasa web albums. Guess I'll wait a day or two and see if anything changes...
Everything else I've been reading is pointing to me having to do a hard reset. This issue is something Google needs to figure out.
where do i set this up?? on phone or on google .. i cant seem to find it ?? please help

I think you need to do that on google from the picasa website and link it with your google account.
Here is how I have it on my cappy...
If your google account linked to phone is the same as the one you use for picasa web albums then go to settings->accounts an sync..under manage accounts you should see the google account you have linked the phone to. Click on the account. You should see an options to sync the Picasa Web Albums. If it is not already checked, well you know what to do.
If you have books linked to this account that should show up, so should calendar, contact and of course gmail.
So if you are like me...who creates mutiple picasa/google accounts to upload pics, then under account and sync click the add account button, follow the prompts and in the end just check the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" leaving everything else unchecked. That way, I have only my primary gmail emails in my inbox and all the pics from all my accounts in the gallery.

That's the problem... the sync to picasa selection is not there for everyone. The problem seems to happen when people get their phones all set up, THEN create a picasa account and THEN try to link it.
I have NO option to sync picasa on my phone. I can, however, upload pictures to it from a file browser, etc... Just won't "Sync".

This isn't always the case.
In my case, the order is reversed. My Picasa account is several years old, and it is integrated with my Google account. I got my first Android (Samsung Intercept) last year. I have options to sync Docs, Contacts, Gmail and Calendar (and even Google Books if I install that app), but no option for syncing to Picasa web.
Interestingly, I acquired a LG Optimus V a couple weeks ago. There *is* an option to sync to Picasa, and it was turned on automatically. In addition, the Gallery app is completely different then the Gallery app on the Samsung Intercept.
I believe that most phones use an app called Gallery 3D, and that app is the only app which allows syncing with Picasa.
This forum has APKs to install Gallery 3D on your phone, and I did this months ago before uninstalling the app. However, none of the APKs work for me.
One thing to note, with google plus, you can set it up to automatically upload every pic you take to picasa

Does the Google Plus app upload photos to plus.google.com, or picasaweb.google.com ? From my understanding, these are different applications.

I just looked at some pictures I uploaded over the summer that way. It looks like its picasaweb.google.com
I'm moving from a Nexus One to the Inspire and I'm missing my Picasa web albums in the Gallery app.
I've looked in the account options to setup a sync and Picasa is oddly missing as an option.
Any work around I'm not seeing?

Yeah, sign up at htcsense.com and download the Picasa viewer.
Actually I had the same problem but resolved it by downloading the 3d Gallery from the Android market. Once I did this it put back the option to Sync Picasa in the Accounts Sync area for Google.
You may have to reboot the phone for it to work properly.
Just my 2 cents..

Worked for me, thank you! I did have to reboot, BTW.
I downloaded the sense Picasa plugin and had my albums synced, but when I went back again it wasn't syncing and nothing showed up.
I had the option to sync in account setting, buti downloaded gallery 3d anyway and it added a second picasa sync option but still won't work even after reboot.
Does anyone have another idea?
Thanks

I know it is probably considered a workaround but I got sick of the gallery apps altogether a while ago and started using justpictures. Picasa, facebook, etc, plus defined folders. Works very well and doesn't kill the resolution like some stock gallery apk's.

It's never my first option to use apps from the market as a replacement, but this one solves my issue....
Thanks for the idea, I'm glad I can get to my Picasa album now!!

I'm sure you mean Facebook for HTC Sense.
That actually is a system application that syncs all Facebook data with your HTC phone.
It's alright if you don't have it. It is still present on your phone, you just can't access it directly.
(For example, if you go to people and check your Facebook contacts, it will have the person's latest updates, photos, etc. That is how Facebook for HTC Sense works.)
i don't have it even in accounts i can't add account for facebook for HTC sens
or widget
Details about your current ROM, please?
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense 3.6
software number 3.32.415.15
Is it possible for you to go to People and check your Facebook contacts, it will have the person's latest updates, photos, etc.
As for the widget, you have to use Friend Stream
yes i can check the update for contact
but i was checking for the facebook for htc sense and it's missing

It doesn't matter, because Facebook for HTC Sense is only responsible for integrating Facebook contacts into your phone and providing you access to their photos and updates through the People application. So, don't worry, you have it on your phone, it just doesn't show up in Accounts & Sync anymore.

All of the Facebook versions I've used have had the options to sync my friends into my contacts and I've used many, I switch roms very often and so download Facebook regularly.

Hello everyone,
So I'm new here (bla, bla, bla)... Well, I've been searching for a fix to my problem that is that since I updated to ICS, official update from T-Mobile, "Facebook for HTC Sense" disappeared in the settings menu of "Account & sync" I just have the one just called "Facebook," and if I press Add account Facebook for HTC Sense won't show up. The problem is that I can see "Facebook for HTC Sense" in my apps list, and also when I go to a contact profile I can kind of see it. Also, when I link my contacts I just can link it to the one called "Facebook", I think because the other disappeared, and it really pisses me off, since it never updates and the contact avatars remains the same always.
Thanks for reading, hope you can help me to fix this soon.
Bump because I have this issue as well.
I no longer have the option to sync "Facebook for HTC Sense" only under accounts. I do not wish to sync the official Facebook app. Any ideas?
According to HTC.com support forum, they integrate the Facebook for HTC Sense with the Facebook apps so all syncing have to be done using the Facebook apps. Have to say goodbye to Facebook for HTC Sense now...
Yes, Facebook app does all the sync, so no need for Sense to do it anymore.
Btw, guess why I gave you Thanks...

How can I sync my twitter friends profile pictures to my contacts? I was able to do this on my HTC One but no longer on this.
Give contacts+ a try. In play store. Works for all social media

That's cause HTC links Twitter/Facebook to Sense. Stock android has no such feature built on so 3rd party apps are required
