Hi guys,
I've answered the issue in the subject below. PLEASE do not factory reset your phones.
A similar answer has been posted in Google help forums.
----------------------------------
The reason why your factory resets work and after that, you skip any other account information and key in only your google account first is simple.
The first time the picasa upload is invoked, it parses your accounts list for account information to use. If any other accounts are in there, for example, motoblur, htc sense... perhaps even facebook(which was the case in my situation), it won't work anymore.
Solution?
Dont need to factory reset.
1.) Go to your accounts list and remove ALL other types of accounts there and only leave your primary google account there. I also suggest killing all apps using task manager cept those you've ignored(like droidwall etc).
2.) Open gallery and attempt to upload a picture via picasa, you should now see that it's able to show in the drop down list, all your albums.
3.) After a successful upload, which will happen because of steps 1 and 2, go to your account information list and add back your other accounts(facebook, whatsapp and whatever else).
Now you've got picasa uploads working permanently. Youtube should also work automatically(although i never had a youtube problem because my youtube account used in the app is diff from my primary google account used on the phone and for picasa).
Hello. Thanks. I tried your method and it actually worked. However, when I re-added my other accounts, the problem re-occurred. I am currently using Picasa tool for pic uploads and the browser for youtube uploads. Any ideas on how to solve this. I works perfectly with my Galaxy S II.
Do you have more than one Google account to add?

it works! only problem is that once i install the account again the problem continues!
I am having this issue when Dropbox is in my "accounts" list.
I was experiencing the issue, removed all accounts but gmail and was able to send to picasa, added them all back after and again i was unable to.
I changed the email used for facebook to another different than the gmail one and i was able to upload to picasa again.
It seems the issue is with sync accounts sharing the same email/login as gmail.

I had the problem with dropbox. Couldn't upload things to Picasa.
Changed my dropbox email address login (which was the same as my google account email) and voila... everything works now as it should!
Thanks jsolares!
Same account name
Thx for this!
I removed endomodo account, which had same name (using google account) as account used for picasa upload and it works.
So basic advice is to remove/change name of all accounts which have same name as your google account.
Nowadays, facebook account in my xperia neo V with ISC is causing that problem. When I sync it with my FB account, im unable to upload pics to picasa. THAT sucks.
LinkedIn App is the problem
I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4
I removed all the account and repeated an upload after adding each account.
Right after adding LinkedIn account, the upload started to fail. Removed it and tried again, not surprisingly, it works.
Added twitter, added another google account, etc. No issues.
Ok, let's try again... then it fails. Again, remove the LinkedIn app, it works.
So the problem is the linked in account.
Thanks. it worked
actually it didnt, it stopped working after I added facebook and skype
Please google... Fix this fast!
Does anybody have solution?

Not true. As soon as you add your other accounts back the Picasa upload is broken once again. My research says it has to do with your other accounts having the same login credentials as your Google account. As a test, change your accounts in the sync section to an email address other than your Gmail account email address and you should be working properly. This is a band-aid fix however and it's something that Google needs to address as this should NOT be a conflict. Everyone complain to Google for an actual fix to this bug.

I installed intagram from play store through my web browser, at first i signed up for new account then it was logged in. afterwards i tried to log out and log in again they suddenly i can't log in anymore. i tried to change my password but still the same.
Does any one here had installed the instagram app from play store? any issues to share?
Hi. I,m experiencing the same problem now. I wonder if you were able to get Instagram working again and how?
Sorry if I am in the wrong section peeps.
This morning, my HTC ONE E8 updated the new software as above. After a restart, I could not access my Google account to sync my Calendar, Maps, Contact etc
I deleted my account and tried to re-instal but it won't allow me to do this. Infact anything 'Google' seems barred on the phone. I know Chinese phones have a problem with Google and need rooting, but the HTC should come pre-installed with Google service (according to their website)
I spoke to HTC Live chat support online who suggested I do a complete phone reset, which I did and lost EVERYTHING! in hope that I could get my stuff back. Wrong! still no Google on the phone, no access either.
I have gone via the browser to sign in to my Google account and it will not let me!
What on Earth is going on?
I have seen others with the same problem, anyone know what's happened and how i can get Google Play Services to work on this phone?
At present, if I select Play Store (which I installed manually) it says "Google Play Services Stopped"
I would appreciate someone helping me out here if a fix is known or whether it is possible to somehow go back to the previous version software so I can get my life back?....PLEASE HELP!
Thanks in advance.
What are the possible replacements for google services?
Aptoide/Yalp store as replacement for play store?
If it works, I guess installing youtube, maps, etc. from either store should work? Or not?
Or we can find alternative apps thatbwork like youtube, gmaps, etc. anyway
How about retrieving contacts saved in google account? Can i retrieve them using browser logged in my google account? How to import into phone?
Users of Apps/games that require google login like pubg should use alternative logins now. Will it work?
What are the all the requirements for degooglefied phone like nubia x?
Hi,
I'm using one phone like that, until some solution for the google services is found.
It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's working. In anther one post I have uploaded a picture how it looks like.
Here is the answers of your questions:

YouTube app generally working, but closes when cant find the google services. Anyway I'm watching the videos from the browser.
Maps - you can install Chrome and then pin it to the home screen. Works like charm.
You can install Mesanger, WatsApp, Viber, Skype - they work.

With PUBG I had some issues installing it because except the apk has obb, may be I'll try later when I have some time. Fortnite is working like charm. Even with the back screen two additional buttons is like a cheat.
Things which I could not solve until now:
- Outlook cant import o365 mail hosted by GoDaddy.
- It seems that, a lot of applications rely on google services for the push notifications. If the app (let say Viber) is not running, you may not have popup notification on the lock screen. (If anyone knows how to solve that I'll be happy)
So, that's all. At the end you can live with the phone. I'm happy with it.
I hope that answers your question. If you have other questions - let me know

How about updating/syncing contacts? I mean after retrieving them and i added a new contact entry. How do i update/sync that contact into google?
And for photos? Do i have to manually backup to pc or cloud since there's no google photos and no google drive?
Any other concerns i might have forgotten?
Edit:
Link to this thread you mentioned?
I used aptoide - the only google apps that seems to work is Google Chrome Browser and gmaps. youtube did not work through aptoide as didn't all the other google apps i tried. I placed a youtube home page using the chrome broswer on the desktop. Whatsapp apk i downloaded from their official website and installed working fine. When I downloaded whatsapp through aptoide and the chinese market app it won't work and keeps saying date and time is not right even though it is - maybe because its not chinese date and time?
For Contacts i opened my pc with chrome broswer and downloaded the contacts VCARD which you can do and placed in root folder of Nubia X - picked all my contacts up - I'm not sure how to sync though to google accounts as you cant add a google account through the phone unless you root as per other posts.
Pretty silly how they just didn't let you install gapps without root - i buy a lot of chinese phones and its the standard now even if google isnt preinstalled - its been a long time since I've seen a phone that doesn't let you install gapps yourself if you want too even though they dont support it. I'm finding it hard to use the phone and it will probably end up in a drawer for a few months until the international rom is released with google. Its annoying, even switching the phone off the voice assistant starts in Chinese and i want to get rid of this.
I've deleted practically all the bloatware, yet can't get music player to detect music i placed in the music folder.
Should have done my reading before hand but oh well... I got it for less than £495 from geekbuying 128gb version but should have waited out for the international rom version
Most of my good apps I downloaded through the Amazon App Store which is also working so I have 3 markets on my phone at the moment.
Hello,
Model: rk3368
MCU: MTCE_CHS_V3.15_1
I have a problem with accessing contacts and calendar from Google account. Most Google applications work correctly but Google Contacts says that I should log into my Google account (I am already logged in) but when I do the in app procedure it says that I am already logged in.
This problem shows up also in Waze app that has trouble accessing contacts. It seems like the problem is related to Android system because the same Waze version has no trouble with accessing the contacts on regular Android phone.
I'm running stock firmware. Maybe I should upgrade to Malaysk's version? Do you think it would help?
PS: I ran into this problem because I was trying to find an alternative to Google Maps because Google Maps widget with saved route was not working on this firmware (Google Maps was starting but into the main view instead of starting the route from the widget). Maybe someone could test on Malaysk's version that Google Maps widgets work correctly, please?
I'm here to tell you that I have the exact same problem with Google Contacts -- it is unable to display any of the contacts in my Google account (blank screen), and when I click on the profile button, it guides me through logging into my Google account, only to then tell me I am already logged into the same account.
I have a MTCE_HT_V2.84_1 unit here (Eonon GA9153A).

@cannondale0815 Would you be kind enough to check if you also are unable to search for your contacts in Waze? I clicked to allow contacts access in Waze when it asks but when I enter a name it shows nothing. The same when I search for contacts in the share ride view. I'm asking because I'm debugging this issue with Waze support for several months now.
I tried it yesterday but despite me authorizing Waze to access my contacts, nothing shows up. So I suppose it's the same issue you are seeing.
