Coming from the Galaxy Nexus where the gallery displayed all of my picasa images, I can't figure out how to do the same with the One X! There's an option to view Picasa images but it doesn't find any of my albums. Does anyone know how to add picasa images to the gallery? Thanks.
Anybody else have this issue with a google apps account!?! Its really frustrating!
Not sure what you are talking about, click onGallery,/Albums/should be a list Facebook, Fickr, Media Servers, dropbox and Picasa web albums, click on the Picasa web albums and they should display, at least mine does. Not sure if you want them to show up in Gallery? Would think that they have to be on your phone storage?
When I go to Picasa in the gallery it doesn't show any of my albums (and yes, they're public albums). I think it might be an issue with Google apps. Can someone else with google apps please let me know if their images are showing?!
I believe you have to change your sync/account settings to sync your picassa...
Settings->Accounts & Sync->Click on your google account->Make sure Google-Photos and Picasa Web Albums are selected...

Both are selected. It just says "The user has no albums to display." I'm getting very frustrated!

Have you tried clearing Gallery app data and re-syncing?
Yep just tried it and it was no help. Can someone else who uses google apps with their picasa account let me known if theirs is working? Thanks.
Anybody show skydive in there list of accounts to sync with? as shown here

Does anyone who uses a Google Apps account (not regular GMail) with their Picasa Web Albums been able to view their albums in the gallery? I have a feeling there is a issue with Google Apps accounts where regular GMail accounts seem to work fine.

I doubt very much GApps will work. I don't have an account myself, so I can't verify, but I've seen numerous issues in the past with GApps and Android. If you've got GApps for Business (I don't know about the other plans), then you've got phone support with Google. Call them up and see what they say.

It's not an issue with Android as it worked perfectly with the Galaxy Nexus...it's an issue with the Sense gallery app. Can someone else with a Picasa Web Album account associated with Google Apps let me know if it works for them? Thanks.
Somebody please help me!!! One of the main perks of Android is the ability to view my Picasa images on my mobile device! Can someone who uses a Google Apps account with picasa please let me know if they are having the same issues!? Is there another gallery app in the play store that I could use instead that works with the built in camera as well as picasa?!

Just tried installing Gallery ICS from the Play Store and there isn't even an option for Picasa. Also when you go to the Camera from the app the video option is gone. The app is no good.
When I tap on Albums in the top left corner, I get a drop down menu that has Picasa listed.

Me too...then when I click Picasa it says "The user has no albums to display" even though I have about 50 publicly visible albums on my account. Is your Picasa account associated with a Google Apps or a regular GMail account b/c I think it might be an issue with Google Apps accounts.
After doing some more research is seems that EVERY SINGLE HTC GALLERY APP has this problem with Google Apps accounts. The HTC Gallery simply doesn't work with Picasa accounts that are associated with Google Apps. This is a pain in the ass.
You might be right sir...mine is associated with my gmail account!

I read that the gallery can show folders from your picasa web albums account. Anything special that I need to do to make this work? I have successfully uploaded pictures and it has all my login info stored. It just never shows me folders from my web albums.

hope this helps.
I looked there but for some reason mine doesn't have Picasa on that list. It only has Contacts, Gmail and Callendar. I only signed up for Picasa about a week ago, which was after I set up the account on my phone. Maybe it doesn't think I have Picasa so it doesn't display the option to sync it for me? Any idea how I can refresh it?

Have you already set up the Picasa Web Albums part of it? You need to link Picasa to Web Albums first and then it should eventually show up in your account sync list.

Picasa is linked to my Web Albums. I can download, upload, sync etc between Picasa 3 and Picasa web albums (not that google has done a great job with syncing those two things either, but it works).
I just downloaded another album and uploaded another file between picasa3 and picasa web albums. Guess I'll wait a day or two and see if anything changes...
Everything else I've been reading is pointing to me having to do a hard reset. This issue is something Google needs to figure out.
where do i set this up?? on phone or on google .. i cant seem to find it ?? please help

I think you need to do that on google from the picasa website and link it with your google account.
Here is how I have it on my cappy...
If your google account linked to phone is the same as the one you use for picasa web albums then go to settings->accounts an sync..under manage accounts you should see the google account you have linked the phone to. Click on the account. You should see an options to sync the Picasa Web Albums. If it is not already checked, well you know what to do.
If you have books linked to this account that should show up, so should calendar, contact and of course gmail.
So if you are like me...who creates mutiple picasa/google accounts to upload pics, then under account and sync click the add account button, follow the prompts and in the end just check the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" leaving everything else unchecked. That way, I have only my primary gmail emails in my inbox and all the pics from all my accounts in the gallery.

That's the problem... the sync to picasa selection is not there for everyone. The problem seems to happen when people get their phones all set up, THEN create a picasa account and THEN try to link it.
I have NO option to sync picasa on my phone. I can, however, upload pictures to it from a file browser, etc... Just won't "Sync".

This isn't always the case.
In my case, the order is reversed. My Picasa account is several years old, and it is integrated with my Google account. I got my first Android (Samsung Intercept) last year. I have options to sync Docs, Contacts, Gmail and Calendar (and even Google Books if I install that app), but no option for syncing to Picasa web.
Interestingly, I acquired a LG Optimus V a couple weeks ago. There *is* an option to sync to Picasa, and it was turned on automatically. In addition, the Gallery app is completely different then the Gallery app on the Samsung Intercept.
I believe that most phones use an app called Gallery 3D, and that app is the only app which allows syncing with Picasa.
This forum has APKs to install Gallery 3D on your phone, and I did this months ago before uninstalling the app. However, none of the APKs work for me.
One thing to note, with google plus, you can set it up to automatically upload every pic you take to picasa

Does the Google Plus app upload photos to plus.google.com, or picasaweb.google.com ? From my understanding, these are different applications.

I just looked at some pictures I uploaded over the summer that way. It looks like its picasaweb.google.com
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.

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

So I just updated to jellybean and I noticed that the gallery settings has syncing options I have all syncing disabled well atleaast I thought I did but my google account said it did a sync today. They all say disabled under settings but in gallery app my google account has a green sync button next to it. Where in the hell is it syncing to and from?
update:so I've been reading that the stock gallery auto syncs to web services can anyone confirm this? Also I definitely can't seem to disable it. Account is definitely disabled in settings menu under sync, just enabled in the gallery
Do you have a sd card in your device?
There's a problem called "Media Scanner," don't know if this is the issue you've been having- however I had it at first. Was able to get rid of it tho!
I had all my music on my SD Card (40GB) and it constantly scanned/ tried to sync.
If this isn't the problem- check to see what services are running, and then you can assess which might be problematic

Make sure ur google account is set not to sync picasa. Then
Go to the gallery app in SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS. Then clear cache and data. Should be good to go.

Thanks for the reply dont have picasa so not a problem I've disabled sync for everything but contacts under google and cleared the cache and data, but for some reason my google account is sitting in in the gallery settings menu with a highlighted sync symbol next too it. Although I am unsure if it will sync anything I would just like it gone all the same.
Thanks.
Also check your cloud settings under device settings, there might be something there syncing your photos. I had Dropbox in there.

Ive read about people having picasa sync problems, I cantmfind anything related to picasa on this tablet is it a preinstalled thing or is it only there if you install picasa?
I don't have picasa installed, but it is there. I think it comes from Google+ or might just come from your google account itself.

You have to have them turned on separately. Picasa is Google. Go to settings and accounts then to Google. Click on the account email and make sure sync picasa webalbums is checked. Facebook you have to give galaxy access when you sign in and it prompts you then select sync gallery

I don't see a Picasa option under the Google account. The Google photos option doesn't bring down anything.
I did the Facebook permission thing when I first setup but still nothing.
You have this working on a Verizon note 5?
