I dont know what gives. Up until ICS, picasa uploads have been fine. After jellybean my pictures that are ~1.3mb are now compressed to ~340kb. Anyone have a solution? I dont see any settings for this. I have tried both wifi and 3g connections. No difference. My google+ instant upload is disabled.

Viewing Picasa albums on G1

Hi
I am on JF 1.5.
I was wondering if it was possible to view uploaded albums on Picasa (Google Photo storage system) as i can upload them?
Any ideas most appreciated
Thanks
You can streamline updating by installing Picasa Uploader in the Market...It's free and written by Google.
As far as browsing online, my browser automagically takes me to an Android-optimized page at picasaweb.google.com/m/
If your browser doesn't do it automatically, try that address.

Don't bother with the Picasa app on the market....It will download, but not install. 1.5 has upload to Picasa built in when you press "share" on a photo.

Picasa uploading problem

My picasa albums are syncing to the gallery app but when I try to upload new pics it says account information can not be retrieved. I went into settings and checked and there isn't a specific picasa login, only the Google one. I suspect this is the problem. Has anyone found a way to upload to their picasa album from the native gallery app?
I think this is a problem with HoneyComb. I have tried other apps from Market, like QuickPic and Picasa Tool and they all exhibit the SAME problem like the Asus's Gallery app: uploading to Picas ALWAYS FAIL. The upload box is also the same throughout these applications, so I am sure any apps that have the ability to upload to Picas uses the same function call from HoneyComb.
I am seeing more and more issues with HoneyComb... boy, Google really was rushing the table OS badly.

What's the diatribe?
As a test after finding this thread, I clicked a pic I took with my TF, tapped the share icon, and it uploaded instantly to Picasa.
Picasa uploads work just fine!
Google took their time and made it right in this case. Speaking of case... case closed.

Can you try this: upload a pic residing in SD card?

Uploading to my Picasa album works from both internal memory and from my Lexar 32gb microsd, in case it's of any use I use the Prime! v1.4 rom and netformer kernel combination.

I have the same problem and just gave up on this. It's definitely a bug, it looks like the Picasa Uploader (that can be used by other apps besides the gallery) fails to retrieve my account data. For instance, I cannot see the list of my web albums in the dedicated dropdown menu.
It looks like it only happens to some people here, but it's frustrating.
Also, on my Froyo based phone, Picasa uploading just works fine, and the Uploader does list my albums correctly.

Works just fine. I have no idea what you are doing wrong.
Simply put, I'm in gallery, tap pic, tap share, tap picassa. Select album, upload. (inserted an old sd card and used a pic that was still on it)
Stock US 3.1 here (US should be a given on a .com site )

I tried mine with stock 3.1 rooted, and have problem. Tried with Prime 1.5, have problem. The error I got is "Failed to authenticate". However, all my other app, like mail, gReader (RSS reader app) works fine. Also, the Gallery app CAN connect to my Picasa account and DOWNLOAD pictures FROM my account. It's just the upload that failed.
Maybe its the rooting? If Google CAN PREVENT rooted devices from renting movies from he Android Market, maybe they're doing the same thing for Picasa.
Same problem exists for me on 3.1
Hi there,
I'v updated to 3.1 and the same problem still exists for me. No difference, weather the pic is on the internal memory, or the pluged in SD card. Can't upload pictures to picassa!
Any further suggestions?
I had a similar problem with google docs
I tried numerous times yesterday and was not able to upload a document to Google docs using Polaris office. The message I received was unable to find the share. I tried this morning and it worked. Weirdness.

Upload to Picasa not working on HC

More a comment than a question maybe, but I dont know if its just me but when I try to upload a pic to picasa on stock HC 3.2 it gives a Failed Service error.
On the other hand if anyone else is having this issue, the Perfect Tool for Picasa app seems to do wonders to replace this function, plus you can view and manage your picasa web albums right from the app.

[Q] Dropbox Picture Upload Problems...

Hey guys
Ever since I did a clean flash of CM10.1, I've had problems with Dropbox and it's photo syncing feature.
After starting up the phone after doing the clean flash, I noticed that all of my pictures had been deleted for some reason...so I hooked the phone up to my computer, and transferred the pictures directly from my Dropbox Camera Uploads folder to my phone...I then turned on Camera Upload in the Dropbox app and it notified me that it was uploading 273 of my pictures, even though all of my pictures were already synced to Dropbox and I had just copied them over to the phone.
They removed the option to clear current uploads so I can't stop it without turning it off...
I really like this feature but turning it on will force it to upload a ridiculous amount of pictures that ARE ALREADY IN MY CAMERA UPLOADS FOLDER...
Any ideas? I emailed Dropbox, got a response, sent them more detailed information and they've basically ignored me ever since...Thanks a lot Dropbox!
Thanks,
Elliott
Bump...guess I'm the first person with this problem?

Share via Picasa option missing

Hi all
I discovered this morning that when viewing album / photos through the stock gallery, under the "Share" menu, Picasa simply disappeared.
So, I can not send pictures to Picasa anymore.
Is this a known issue ?

I haven't done that for a long time, so I can't even tell if this function has been removed in 4.4 or 4.4.1 kitkat. The option to share to "photos" from the stock gallery is definitely not working, as nothing would happen when you select that option.
In the past I used an app called Picasa tools (an free app) to share photos to specific picasa folder.

Thanks for your proposal
Anyway, I am nearly sure this option was there in 4.4 and vanished with 4.4.1... Too bad it was sooo convenient to be able to directly upload to the appropriate folder...
