Well I was trying to upload one pic for a profile pic for google plus and out of no where the app showed that it uploaded a lot of my pics (I don't think all because I have many pics so I know that's not all of them or at least I hope not) a.d these pics are only showing on the G+ app for android and are not showing on the site in the *from your phone* album... why is that? I know these pics are supposedly private, and though they aren't bad or inappropriate pics I still don't feel comfortable with them showing in the app at all.... so is there any way I can delete them? Please reply

check settings
You might have instant upload checked. When you select this option, G+ app uploads all photos on your phone to G+ account. if you dont want to do that, unselect this option.
Even if they uploaded to G+, they will be in private album, I think its a good way to back up photos.. (my openion)

So i have been battling with low resolution photos from facebook being applied to contacts, almost making even having a contact photo useless because you can't tell who it is anyways because it is so pixelated. I came to the conclusion that the facebook app syncs the thumbnails which are a massive 50x50px instead of the actual display picture...
Solution:
Download and install SyncMyPix from the market it's free and does a fabulous job, in the settings tell it to use the highest quality photo, you can link your contacts and tell it to update daily. Also it lets you crop the picture..Nice little app.
Give it a try guys instead of crying to the ROM developers it has nothing to do with them, or Google Contacts app, it's the facebook app, it syncs the thumbnails because it thinks its easier to sync an already pre-cropped photo.
What a joke.
This should be in Themes and Apps...usually I'm a lot more forgiving but that's almost obvious should've been your first choice.
But yea...app is nice...don't know wtf they were thinking with the Green though...the UI could be much nicer without the hideous green.
Yes and no, my intention was to point out that it's not the rom/devs that are to blame. It's the facebook application itself.

fair enough...
I also wish gmail contacts itself would allow for higher res images and larger images when you call them.
I'm gonna give this a try. if it works, thanks!
i gave the app a try.. not bad except that it doesn't most of contact.
i understand i can manually link the fb photo to my contact but i keep hitting the error of unable to manually link photo.
anyone with the same experience?
I was unable to get sync my pix to work, it couldn't log into facebook. HOWEVER, I downloaded Asurion's Facebook Mix-in which is INTENDED to work with their POS application Addressbook, which you should NOT download. Luckily, the 'Mix-in' works on its own, with its only purpose being to sync pics in high res! Yay! Although, without the the main application Addressbook, it won't find your 'matches' so you have to select each match.; At least it works!!
Hi guys
Love the transformer, much better than the advent vega i had ages ago! Just a question about fhe gallery app. For some reason i have 3 albums with 0 photos i cant remove : scrapbook photos, profile photos and profile photos (draft) no idea why those are there, assumed it may be google+ orientated but i dont have it and i wouldnt mind getting rid of them?!
Thanks!

That's weird. I have Google+ install but don't have any of those "folders".
Any other apps you install recently?
Check in Account & Sync, see if any of those accounts have any kind of "photo" sync.
Gallery syncs with your google account so ANY pictures you post or share while signed in on a computer or phone will be synced to one place.
You can clear these by going to settings-applications-manage-all items-gallery -clear data...
And to permanently stop the syncing go into settings-accounts and sync-click on your account and deselect picasa web albums.
That should fix it

I have the same issue.
what i did was delete the pics of picasa and the albums which got rid of 2 of the albums.
but i still have 4 i cant seem to locate.
I have nothing other than my google account in accounts syncing.
they are empty and i cant delete them, i tried the above suggestions but that didnt clear the 4 remaining empty folders.
how can i locate them and remove them?
i dont get why there is not "hide albums" options either
Ignore this post
Dont ignore mine
I use Quickpic and you can excluded and include what folders you want to see and hide pics, great for showing friends things in default gallery without showing your valuables =D its free

My friend said photos taken with his iphone automatically shows up on his ipad. I'm guessing it's some kind of cloud thing. What app and how?
drop box could do the sam thing.
i dont know how ur friend is doing it.
is it automatic? or with manual update?

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+.

How do you get the contact photos in Hi Res? I tried haxsync but it would never load. I even followed the steps on how to activate it. All of my contact photos look bad.
Thanks
Would like to know a better way too besides Google+. I don't want to create an account just to sync pictures...

Huh? Google+ accounts don't have hi-res pics either... Unless you know something I don't.
Plus, given that we all have contacts from various sources, this would be the furthest thing from a solution.
I had the Unlocked One X before I got the ATT version and it was exactly the same deal. I uploaded high res pics for my contacts and when you use Caller ID they look fuzzy, same when your editing them. I've taken pic's using the One X's camera and tried to use those pics as well, same result, fuzzy pictures.
On the other hand I'm using the Pictures Lock screen and I uploaded a bunch of high res pics, like I said and they look great bouncing around on the lock screen. Cool feature
The best way I have found is to download the Friendcaster app and tell it to sync high-rez pics from Facebook.
Here you go:

How do you get the app to work, it says no data when I open app. It takes me to the app settings.

Can anyone suggest an app that views cloud storage pictures? Something like picasa. It syncs the thumbnails to the gallery and downloads the picture when you actually click on it. I'm having many issues with picasa lately, and want to be able to just use something like dropbox, box.net, ect to drop pics into. I don't want something that just syncs the entire folder to my phone. I have gigs worth I would rather not have to download them all unless I'm actually using the pics. No Google+ please. I like it, but most of the people in my real life don't use it, so it's hard to share pics with them that way.
Thanks for any help!
JustPictures!
yes,
Theres an app called JustPictures!
(I can't post links, search google/market)
has most of the sites in it, and you can email the devs to add more
I have also been on the hunt for a good app to sync all of my pictures to from my phone, so I can easily view and download them on my computer without plugging in my phone. Any suggestions?

I just checked out just pictures. Good idea, but it didn't support drop box, box.net, Google drive, or anything like that. Just Flickr and regular picture services. :/. Thanks though.
