Anyone experience this? Logged into the Xoom for the first time with my gmail, and it synced everything, than I went to accounts > google account and unchecked the pictures, refreshed and the Xoom still synced the pictures.
Anyone now of a way to get rid of them? Don't want the new girlfriend checking out old pictures

Had the same issue, unfort I don't have a solution. I just deleted the pictures I didn't want coming through. Thankfully Picasa is not my primary photo app.
The trick is to unceck the boxes before the first sync. At this point your only option it to uncheck the picasa sync first and then delete folders accordingly.
If you've already synced, after you uncheck Picasa, clear that gallery application data.
Clearing the gallery application data worked fine, thanks!

I can't figure out how to keep my google mail and calendar from syncing on my gtab. I went to accounts and sync, but I can't seem to do anything from there. I don't want anything from my mail, or calendar etc to sync. Any advice? Thanks!
Normally, once you're in accounts and sync, you select your google account, then you'll get options to selects which things you want to sync (i.e. Calendar, gmail, contacts etc.)
Are you saying that you can't select the google account once you're in accounts and sync?
I can select my google account and see everything, but there Are no boxes to uncheck It just tells me the last time everything has synced.....
Oops nm I got it figured out lol

Having trouble with this. How do I disable it?
hello, see if there is someone that I clarify something, some time ago when you add my facebook account on the phone (HD2) and went to images appeared to me my facebook photo albums, but I did a hard reset to clean and now when I add the account adds photo albums? I think it touches everything that can be configured but not add them, and probe to eliminate it and add it again, anyone know anything?
??
When you integrate facebook into your phone, it shows your facebook albums in your pictures hub. Not sure what the issue you are having is?
well the solution, you must first synchronize facebook account and then the Windows Live ID, and then I showed all my albums of Facebok in the images folder, so I had to do a hard reset and synchronize facebook account first, and then the hotmail.
Hello
I'm trying to figure out how to use the built-in web browser on my Android 4.0.3 tablet (Ainol Novo 7 Advanced II). As per the internet my Chrome bookmarks should be available on it. And I should be able to add bookmarks to my Chrome using Gmail account.
The adding bookmark feature in my tablet is only showing me Local account. And there is no way to make it show my Gmail account even though my device is synced up with my Gmail account, also in market and etc. places.
How do I make it available there?
Regards

it will be in your Google account sync settings

I'm attaching another screenshot. The only few thins I see inside my gmail's sync settings are calendar, contacts, gmail, and the two software I recently installed Google Current and Google Chrome Beta. I checked these settings even prior to installing these two software, I couldn't see anything that would show that the default browser's bookmarks are being synced.
The only way for me to get my gmail sync folder in the bookmarks was to completely reset all the browser settings and data. (settings->application->internet-> delete cache and data). Then resync the bookmarks by going to sync+accounts in settings.
Finally the folder of my gmail account was visible in my bookmarks.
Does anyone know how to change my default bookmark storing-folder? Whenever I try to add a bookmark I have to change the folder manually to my gmail folder - quite annoying.
Something that has been bugging me is the way Facebook and Google don't play nicely when it comes to contact syncing.
In the past it wasn't really a big issue as I only used one device and everything just sync'd in the background, now as I prefer to manage all of my contacts via the gmail contacts page, rather than via my phone I set about trying to figure out how I could get both Gmail and Facebook contacts to sync to my Google account.
I tried a few of the tools available, such as ubersync, contacts+ and haxsync, these all do a great job of mixing your Facebook contacts in with your gmail contacts on your device, but they are still treated as seperate when syncing back up to gmail.
I found a way to get around this by using Google's sync along with haxsync and a bit of dirty ol manipulation, and I thought I'd share it if others are wanting to do the same. I take no responsibility if you mess things up, so if you are not confident then make sure you make backups before you start.
Also before you start just realise you will loose any group sorting you may have done but this can be edited again via the gmail contacts pagee quite easily)
First of all, sync all the gmail contacts into your android device from google.
Install Haxsync from the Google Play store (contacts+ and ubersync may give the same results)
Goto advanced settings for haxsync and set things up the way you want (I selected to have the htcdata backup entry put into the notes field, but this is optional)
now sync with haxsync to get all the facebook details and wait for the haxsync to finish.
Now you have all the data into your device if you look at an entry you might see some of the users data is listed under the google account, and other parts are listed under the haxsync account. From here on only the google data will sync back up to google.
Now to perform some manipulation
Go to settings on your android device(s) and disable syncing for both Google and haxsync. (note I said device(s) this means disable sync on all other device you might have that also sync to Google)
Go into People on your main Android device and export your contacts to storage, this will make a vcf file on the Android device containing all of the data for each person (minus the account it's associated with)
On the android device(s) go to settings - applications - contacts storage and clear data- (remember to do this for all android device syncing to google)
load gmail in your web browser on your PC, go to contacts, select them all and delete them.
Now go back into People on the Android device and import the data you saved to your storage.
You will now see you have merged the data that was previously seperated by the gmail and haxsync accounts
Go back into settings on the Android device and re-enable sync for gmail.
Wait for this to finish.
once your device has synced with Google again go into gmail and select contacts
On the left of the page look under 'other contacts' select all of them and choose add to My Contacts.
Now go up to My Contacts and you can start sorting everyone into different groups again if you wish.
Now you have synced both gmail and Facebook information into your gmail account which will flow down to any other Android devices you have.
If you add more people on Facebook and want their data in gmail, you'd have to repeat this process again.
If you decide to re-enable Haxsync again you may need to manually join some of your contacts in your phone again, such as where friends also have Google+ and Facebook accounts under different names.
It's not perfect but if you have 100's of contacts / friends it saves a lot of manual data entry saving everything into gmail.
Good luck and have fun.
I am trying to set up Google Contacts. I imported contacts from Outlook fine. Then I synced them to my phone (Samsung Light) -- all fine.
BUT, when I went to my Note 10.1 to sync them I found that in my Google Account there is no option for Google Contacts, only something called People. It does sync GMail fine. Sync is on.
I've tried many things -- deleting the Google account and re-establishing it, clearing the contacts cache, etc. But with no optionon the Google account page for contacts, I can't even try to sync them.
Anybody ever come across this before?
Thanks.

you should have a separate app called Contacs. And in settings under account you can sync. Just use the contac app
Shaun:
Yes, I have been using the native Contacts app and syncing it with Outlook via Kies. I want to try using Google Contacts instead. I deleted all the contacts within the app and cleared all contact data/cache.
The problem is that when I go to Settings>Accounts>Google and then click on my account, there is NO option to Sync Contacts. There are options for App Data, Calendar, Gmail, Internet, People details, and Picasa Web albums -- and that's it.
Thanks

When you click on your account is it your gmail account..
Yep -- but finally fixed it. I just finished doing a hard reset of the Note, which I hated to do because it will take me hours to get it back the way I want. However, as soon as I did that the Google account started showing all the options, including Contacts.
Thanks.
