Picasa Upload fails with Facebook - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I attempted to upload some pictures from the gallery to Picasa using the 'share' button. When I do this, it fails. When I uninstall the Facebook Sync (in the accounts), Picasa automatically starts working again. Arghhh...
It seems like many have had this problem, but this is the first time I've experienced it, as I always had facebook + picasa (through google sync) loaded up. Has anybody found a fix for this?
thanks in advanced.

[Q] Contacts not linking

Anyone else running into this, I can click link, and link a facebook contact with the google contact, it says linked, but it keeps them as 2 separate entries instead of combining them as it should, also get a message that I can't edit SNS information, something like that. Anyone solutions or fixes?
There appears to be an issue with the 'sync' and facebook and the facebook app. At least for me. I can occasionally get a sync to happen with my facebook contacts if I try it before installing the facebook app. After its installed there is no chance at all of syncing. Not sure if this is a facebook issue or a samsung/android issue.

Picasa sync with gallery?

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
in your settings> accounts & sync > choose your google account > make sure sync picasa web albums is checked.
thats all i did and it works perfectly!
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?

Interesting.. i have the same issue on my other HD2 belonging to my wife.. what can we do?
Ur not supposed to see Picasa in Accounts.....just make sure the Google or Gmail account associated with the Picasa u have pix in is your primary account u use to house your contacts or log in your Android phone...
I'm still having trouble with this. I have no option to sync with picasa. I see no settings anywhere on my phone or google account to enable this either.
Any ideas?

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

cant upload to picasa

So I'm trying to upload images to picasa, using photo gallery,setting,share,picasa. it skips the first screen (where you caption and do settings for the upload) and takes me to the "add a Google account" screen. Here I have 2 options. create account, and sign into existing. I try to sign in and it says
"account already exists. There is already a "[email protected]" account on this phone"
of course there is... I'm not trying to create an account. I'm trying to log in. So whats going on here? Has someone figured this out. seems redic, since these are both google applications.....

Make sure you have Picasa set up to sync.
From the home screen: Menu/Settings/Accounts & Sync
Tap on your gmail account. Make sure "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is checkmarked.
picasa isn't one of the things I can sync. just my email and facebook. then I tap on my email like you said and there is just options to sync contacts,gmail,and calendar...
do I have to download a picasa app?

You have a Nexus S right? That's really odd, it should be there and built in.
There is no official Picasa app, so that won't help.
Can you go to picasa web albums (on the pc) and log in WITH your gmail account you have set up on your phone and verify it's "linked"?
Other than that, my only suggestion now is two things:
1. Add someone else's Gmail account, and delete yours. Then re-add yours and verify that Picasa is a sync option, then delete the other gmail acount.
2. Factory Reset your phone and re-add your gmail account and see if Picasa is a sync option.
well. I can say this. I just installed picasa on my computer and created the web album just a few minutes ago... So do you think that my phone "doesn't know" its there?
might have figured it out. dont remember exactly. but I deleted a bunch of folders that the gallery looks at when I got the phone. cause I just wanted a pics and vids folder when I went to my gallery. maybe I deleted a picasa folder without realizing it. oh well. factory reset to find out for sure.....
thanks for the help nxt.
yeah. I had deleted my gallery folder in the gallery.... that caused the problem...

I feel your pain! My Nexus S doesn't see Picasa Web Albums as an option to sync either. I've been reading all around the web and no one seems to find the solution to this. I downloaded the Picasa app & I put in some folders through the phone. It loads. It's there.
Problem is.. When I go to Gallery and hit SHARE/PICASA.. it says to sign into a Google Account. This is so odd!
I was having the same problem and luckily found the solution.
-open the gallery and select the pic you want to upload
-then select share, picasa.
-here is where you are going to get the screen that says add a google account, select next.
-now you are going to get the option to create a new account or sign in if you already have one, here is the trick, press menu, browser sign-in, now you are going to get a welcome screen, select next.
-a browser opens up to log in. fill it out with your credentials and once log in accept whatever it says (i dont remember what it said lol).
-that's it now your phone will sync again adding picasa to your account
happy syncing
Thanks. But it works for one time only. Next time you try to share pictures to Picasa you have to do everything all over again.
edit: Factory reset helped.

[Q] Picasa

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.

It's never my first option to use apps from the market as a replacement, but this one solves my issue....
Thanks for the idea, I'm glad I can get to my Picasa album now!!

Does this work with google apps accounts that have been transitioned? I downloaded it, have the sync option in account, but whenever I go into the gallery it says I need to add an account. Anyone get this working?
PS - I am on Revolution 3.0

Google Calendar opens every time I open Facebook?

I can't figure this out. When I open the Facebook app, and then close it, Google Calendar is open behind it and I have to close it to see my homescreen again.
I do have HaxSync installed for syncing contact photos, but it shouldn't be running with Facebook at all, as it sync separately.
Has anyone else seen this on their N5? It doesn't seem to happen on any of my other android devices (N7 2013, etc)....
