I hate how I used Google plus for awhile and now it always has an "instant upload" section. And how there is various other categories from other things i have used over the years. I have tried deleting everything in the picture folder except for the actual pictures themselves and reinstalled roms, no matter what the various categories are always still there. What gives? Is it the way they are tagged or something?

I'm talking about the first screen as soon as you open gallery.

Same, i'd like to know.
Try logging into http://picasaweb.google.com with your google account.
This is related to the "sync picasa web albums" setting in accounts.

Ok that did help me get rid of the instant upload category. But all my other dated categories have the picasa web symbol on them but are not listed on the picasa site.

I'm having the problem with Google contacts too. If I add a new picture to my google account it will sync right too my phone but the ones I added before using Odin one click will not sync. Is there a way to force the pics to sync?
I tried to change some info on a contact thinking that might force a sync. The info updated but not the pic.

Anyone get it to work on EB1.03? I know it works on CM7 but it's still waaaay too buggy for me right now to use as a daily.
Doesn't work on the leaked rom either. Doesn't even give the option in the facebook app to sync contacts.

If you read up about the launch of the Nexus S and Facebook, you will see this is because Google removed the sync ability of Facebook. Google is pissed because Facebook displays it's contacts in the address book without storing it locally. Previously, Google gave Facebook special API access to the contacts app, but they have removed it as of Gingerbread. Facebook will have to update their sync so it adds it to the shared contacts of the phone.

I've tried to export all my facebook contacts to SD card and import them from gmail contacts on my computer.. but still no luck
Anyone have any ideas?

Google removed the ability in Gingerbread, use something like SyncMyPix if all you need is contact photos. If you need more than that I'm clueless.

Is there a reason that when you slect a contact and choose any of the options History, Activities or Media.... nothing ever shows up under those menus?
I thought it was supposed to sync with your SMS and facebook and show recent messages, sttus updates, etc.? And I do have my contacts synced with Facebook.
is this a breoken feature when running a custom ROM? Or am I just missing something?
Thanks for any info!
Anyone on this??

You have to sync with the integrated facebook sns and not through the facebook app from the market. If you go to add account you will see facebook under the integrated accounts header.

I am synced through there as well. As, even if I wasn't linked with facebook, I should still be able to see call and text history with my contacts... that's not showing up either. Thanks though...
Anyone else?

I have a lot of contacts synced with gmail, but most of them are emails and i don't need them in my phones contacts. How do i delete multiple contacts at once?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Don't remember if you can do a batch select (I've only done it once and for the same reason) but you need to log in to gmail from a computer and edit the contracts from there. Also I believe in contacts settings you can set it to show only contacts with phone numbers.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
Like eb says using a computer you can edit the contacts. What I would do is setup groups and only sync the various groups with phone numbers.
Thanks guys, but i tried something else. I installed go contacts ex and then did a batch delete of all the contacts i don't want

Wait, couldn't you just have go into options on your phone and choose to hide e-mails?

Don't have that option. And i have one more problem. How do i sync all my Facebook contacts. When i was on gb and installed Facebook, the first screen would all if i wanted to sync all my contacts, sync with existing contracts, or don't sync at all. But now i don't see and can't find that screen

This works well for syncing fb contacts. You can choose all contacts or existing in the settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync

Open app drawer select People, then menu contacts to display, customize. Select your facebook account and it will show a box for all contacts if that isnt checked then it is only syncing with existing contacts. If you select your gmail account you will have the option to sync all the groups individually.
It says no contacts. There's no way to get to that screen on the Facebook app that asks how youwant to sync the contracts?

Clear all data log out and uninstall the app. Reboot your phone re-install the app. If that doesnt bring the option up then its go forever.
Maybe?

Found this. I haven't tried it since I'm at work doing a 24 hr shift. Figured I would let people know what I found. I plan to give a try after I get some sleep. If anyone gives it a go could you please let us know how it goes?

I have searched all over the forums and I cannot find anything about this. I made a google plus account the other day and after I made it I went to my gallery and there were backups of all my pictures and I don't want them there. I've tried just about everything from going into the app and seeing if there were any options to stop it, from going into my phones settings. I can't seem to find where to turn this off at, it's really getting on my nerves because I want them gone and I can't just delete them! Thanks in advance!
Did you rush through the installation of Google plus? There's an option to sync pictures and stuff I think.

I saw that and I unchecked it and still they won't go away.
If I remember correctly you have to login to your Google account settings and then uncheck from there but it has been a long time since I turned mine off.

I went to an app that was called google settings and I went to camera & photos and turned off auto backup that's the only thing that I can think to do. I went back and still no dice the photos are still there.
This is the image from my phone showing the pictures. You can see that there is the one folder that is named camera. The other ones are the backup photos can't be deleted.
That's Picasa back ups. Go into settings, under Accounts select Google. Then at the top it should show your Gmail account and when it synced last, tap it. Then scroll down and uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums. That will stop it adding any more. To get rid of the ones already there I THINK you clear data/cache for the gallery app... But it's been awhile since I did it. I just remember it took me forever to get rid of them... I didn't need over 1000 pics backed up twice.
