Android Photos/Album syncing - General Questions and Answers

what's the easiest way to sync all my photos to my gmail account? I have dropbox instant upload, and also set syncing turned on, but the way I want it is so that whenever I sign into a new device all my pictures are available for viewing right from the gallery app (similar to how all my contacts are in the contacts app and music in the music app), and not having to view it in the google+/dropbox app.
thanks

Facebook Contacts Links

Has anyone been able to get their facebook contacts to link to their gmail contacts?
I had used a app called "SyncMyPix" on my Droid and it grabbed all my facebook contacts and sync'ed them to the matched google contact. The pictures were now part of google contacts and synced back to their "cloud" so my contacts have the picture they were using at that sync time as part of their contact info.
So browsing my contacts on the web, sync'ed down to my Gtab.........I have pictures for my contacts.
You could possibly try just running that app on the Gtab and see if it would work. I would suspect it would. You have to log in to facebook via the app and tell it to sync.

Facebook sync

Has anyone found a way to sync contacts's pictures and birthdays from facebook like we used to do on the htc contacts tab ? The roms i was using on my HD2, had the option to link a contact with its facebook profile, and automatically update pictures and stuff.
Anyone ?
install full screen called ID. it has a sync facebook option. that's how i've done it.
Download the Facebook app and set it to sync contacts. Most of them should be joined automatically to your existing contacts where the names are the same, and you can manually join the rest from the menu when you're editing a contact.
Pro tip: join from the entry you want to take precedence for name display purposes.
Allright both are acceptable solutions.
But what if i install another rom ? Do i have to do that again or i will have the photos as soon as i sync my fb and my gmail ?
uhm guys ? noone ?
login to your FB account from the app u downloaded. Go into the options menu and sync FB contacts.

[Q] Syncing Contacts Issue

Hello all,
i don't know if i should write my issue in this section or not..
I am trying to sync my contacts from Facebook also... this way all my contacts will start having their Facebook profile picture. Unfortunately everything works fine except that profile pictures are not synced (facebook contact is synced with phone contact with all the fb information but without the profile picture)
Also another problem.. when fb picture are synced (tried on another phone just like mine) whatsapp won't show those pictures. It only show pictures from google accounts (Therefore some contacts have their google account display pictures while other don't have anything... they have the standard whatsapp green contact photo)
Any idea guys?
Thank You..

[REQ] Contacts Syncer

I'm looking for an app that would allow me to sync profile pictures from facebook, and just profile pictures, with the pre-existing contacts in my phone. If anyone knows of such a thing, that would be awesome to know. Thanks in advance.
HaxSync
I prefer SyncMyPix to HaxSync quite a bit. ICS is not required and less unnecessary features.

I'm using Facebook Contact Sync. You can choose to sync pics up to 512x512 pixels, so it looks nice
(After setup, go to the sync settings in the phone settings and sync it from there)

[Q] Facebook Photo Sync in JB 4.3

Since upgrading to 4.3 JB, facebook photos are not syncing.
I had CM 10.1.2 with JB 4.2.2 and contacts+ app before. When I add a person's phone number or email to contacts (people) app, contacts+ app would pull the person's facebook or linkedin photo (even though the person is not in my facebook friend's list).
No matter what app I try in 4.3 JSS, only my facebook friend's contact photo is syncing - not all contacts. Anyone has success syncing photos of contacts even if they are not your facebook friends? Is it Android OS thing or facebook thing?
Tried Ubersync, Haxsync, Contacts+, and SyncME (tried different settings, sync over data or wifi, sync existing contacts, all contacts etc.)
Waited for almost a week to sync - was in wifi most of the time
Tried: without facebook app and with facebook app logged in
Tried: autosync checked and also autosync not checked
Tried: PA 3.98 JWR, Carbon Nightly JSS
Note:All the apps listed above asked for facebook permission when i first opened after install and I gave permission by logging in to my facebook account.
Without a facebook or linkedin account, you will not be able to pull the photos.
Ubersync, Haxsync and now contacts+ syncs hi-resolution pictures. But in 4.3 ROMS, only syncs with facebook friends.
Anyone had sucess with facebook contact photos sync for all emails in contacts?
