[Q] Picasa

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!!

Does this work with google apps accounts that have been transitioned? I downloaded it, have the sync option in account, but whenever I go into the gallery it says I need to add an account. Anyone get this working?
PS - I am on Revolution 3.0

[Q] Upload photos from XOOM WiFi to Picasa albums

Hello,
Just got my Motorola XOOM and found strange bug. Please check somebody could you upload photos from your galary to Picasa web albums directly from Galary apk?
I tried to reboot, factory reset, clear chach, but nothing helps me

I can't seem to do it on verizom xoom

Thread moved to general. This does not belong in development by any stretch of the imagination.

Just tried it again and I uploaded without issue. Is your picasa pics syncing to your gallery? Also when you try to upload them are you clicking on the share option.

Yes I could see my albums from Picasa, but I couldn't upload photos from Gallery to Picasa. It shows "fail to retrieve account information".

Sync pictures from phone to transformer

Looking for an app to sync pictures from phone automatically to transformer....tried sugarsync but I can only sync to the cloud automatically...can't seem to sync between the two...any ideas ?

Maybe some kind of WiFi sync. It usually involved a PC so not sure how it would work for you. Also look into Picassa sync

Dropbox app? I will try this and report back. If Wifi Media Sync by the makers of TitaniumBackup works on Transformer, that would do it. Will try that too...

Try out syncness on each device, syncing to dropbox (or network share)
Works well for me

Ok, tried a few things...first i tried sugarsync, and it seems to work, but you can't use the auto photo backup. You have to choose your pictures folder and it will automatically sync that folder to the cloud drive. It will be under mobile briefcase..so if you do that on each device the pictures will all sync into mobile briefcase from each device.
The second one, and the one i want to work, is via webstorage, since we have unlimited access. However, it doesn't seem like you can autosync any folder from android into this...all the folders or files have to be manually uploaded. Its kind of a sucky app at the moment...on both my phone and my transformer, but it is helpful to transfer movies or music manually.

...and syncness is good, but it seems like the same thing as sugarsync..sugarsync offers 5gb of free space though

Try something that syncs to your picasa automatically like picpush. I use that on my phone which happens to be my primary camera (they always say the best camera is the one you have on you) and my pics show up in the gallery on all of my devices and on any web browser.

If you are using an Android phone the Picasa app works fantastically for keeping things connected between devices. I can access my Picasa albums from a PC with internet or the Picasa photo editing program as well as on my Android smartphone via the Picasa app and here on the Transformer via the picasa app. Cool thing about the Transformer is the Picasa app works directly with the stock gallery app on the Transformer so your picasa albums show up with all your locally stored albums. Works very well and is all part of having a Google account.
Try it out.

Awesome!! I found an app that is completely free called photocloud that does the same thing...and its great that the pictures show up automatically in the gallery...I see u can choose to save them for offline viewing also but I haven't figured out how to do it for the individual pictures that I want..either way thanks for the help and try photocloud ...free!

You can use Google+ and have it set to auto upload your pictures.
Google+ use Picasa to host pictures and if you have Picasa sync on your tablet it will show up there too.

That's the way I do it. Any Picasa web albums automatically show up on any android device that is tied to my gmail account. Instant Upload on G+ will sent them to private albums, and from there you can share/post them. Nifty.

Once they are in Picasa you can view them in the gallary app as well (network connection provided ofc). In most Android's you can upload to Picasa from the galary app right after taking a picture, should you opt not to use G+.

Sync bigger pics through facebook?

So the facebook-app can sync the profile pictures of all my friends which is all neat and stuff, but it only saves the thumbnail - this looks horrible when i call people when using ICS (since the picture covers most of the screen).
Is there any mod to that app, or some other app that can sync the fullsize profile picture of my friends from facebook?
(no, manually editing the pictures through google contacts is not an option since i want the pictures to update whenever my friends change their profile pic)

I would need something like that too.
There are apps like HD caller ID, but there you must add a picture for everyone manually.

Try Facebook contact sync

It worked great for me, the blurry pictures on ICS were really getting to me

You could also use haxsync. Available in the market.

HaxSync is only for ICS, and Facebook contacts sync didn't work for me.

Oh god thank you guys! GOODBYE PIXELBLUR CONTACTS!

Thanks for this!

I used fsync, download from market
it can sync different sizes of the pictures, and you can choose to sync only contacts or all facebook friends
works great
