Picasa constantly syncing when there is nothing to sync

I've noticed the last few days and it bugs me. I hardly have anything in picasa and nothing had changed so wtf is synchronizing?
This happens on two phones, same google account, both on cm7 nightly builds. One is a Vibrant and the other is my glacier.
Any ideas?

Because it has to sync, even if there is nothing there; the point is that they are syncronised, the same, even if they have nothing there.
Just disable it if you don't use it

It's not a quick sync that disappears, it's an ongoing sync that lasts hella long.

But can't you disable it at all? Through the settings?

Ah, I took "hardly anything" as nothing xD My bad...!
Have you tried disabling and re-enabling Picasa from your phone? Basic thing I know, but this has worked for me in the past

What is that?

Everytime I download something from the internet this popup bar shows up in my notifications...what is the untitled data bar and how do i get rid of it? So far ive found i can only remove it by restarting the phone but its rather a hassle.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

That's the download progress bar, it's normal. What's not normal though is that you have to restart to get rid of it. Are you on a custom ROM?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

No I'm 100% stock. What's weird is that it will show that then out of no where the thing I wanted to download will be completed but that grey download bar won't go away.

Nope. I can't even click it to see what it leads to. It just sits there.

You can use titanium to back everything up and restore it after the wipe.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Try clearing data for your browsers, market, or anything that brings about one of those bars to begin with. not sure if you can do anything with the "downloads" app, but give that a look too.
On a side note, if you have a question, ask it in the title of the post instead of putting something completely unhelpful to anyone trying to get a summary of the thread.

I'll clear the cache in all those things and see of it fixes my problem.

It sounds like the Inet app is wonky. I'm assuming you are using the HTC Internet app? Have you ever seen it behave normally? Does this bar progress like normal but just says "Untitled - data"? You should see a green bar go from the left side of that notification to the right.
Next time you see it, go to your System | Apps menu and look at the running apps tab. See if your browser is running and Force Close it to see if it goes away.

I'm using dolphin browser HD. And thanks for all the help guys!

So have you solved your problem yet?
If yes, how did you do it?

Yup! You guys are awesome. I cleared the cache in dolphin browser, force stopped downloads, and cleared the cache/force stopped download manager and the problem went away! Thanks again to those who helped.

XDA App issues

Quite simply, is anyone else having issues with the app? I'm talking about the Play Store app, not through Tapatalk. Probably been almost a week it seems very goofy. Every other app on my phone works fine. Android Central works flawless (in comparison) but not XDA
Just trying to see if I'm not alone.
ViperXL 2.4.0 w/ElementalX 3.1 kernel

Any specifics? What do you mean wonky?

Been happening close to a week. Online it's perfect but the app itself has just been bad.

I agree, minor, frustrating but annoying too. Haha. My pm box has been useless today for a few hours. In the last few days it's been hit or miss. Plus content takes forever to load sometimes, even the latest posts when you open the app.

I get a problem with the app where if I click the next page button it sometimes takes 30 seconds to register. Only been getting that for the last month or so.

Try scrolling up and down the thread it will jump to the next page. Does the same to me we need a android native app for xda. I hate to say this but even FB is better nowadays.
Sent from my One X using xda premium

Xda app has always had some minor glitches ever since I used it. I found that they mostly pop up after restoring apps on a new ROM. So what I do is just uninstall it and reinstall fresh and everything works good again, mostly.

See I guessed the same thing and it still doesn't work for me. I nailed down too that one specific message in my PM box will FC the app. Weird. I had to go on my laptop to check and delete it. Online works perfect but the app has just been strange lately. At least for the most part the forum loads and I don't get FC issues but issues still persist.
I'm enjoying this community here so much I check often, sucks when the app is malfunctioning.

Now that you mention PM box, reminded me that mine fcs leaving it.:-\

For those having issues accessing their pm box, what I usually do is go to my profile the my posts and then click on a post (any). Then back out then got to pm box. Usually works. I know it's ridiculous to have to that but it's a work around. It may not work for everyone but I hardly ever have force closes that way. Just fyi.

You want odd? I deleted one pm from my profile by using my laptop since I couldn't access it through the app and now I have no issues with FC. However, I still have other issues.

Whoa that's stupid lol yeah I have other issues too. Like when I get a notification from the xda app I click on it and it opens the app then loads to infinity. But the pm bug is THE most annoying by far...

Whats that app?

I remember using this app like last year 2011 where it shows you nearby social updates? i dont know.
I could recall seeing youtube uploads made by people nearby in the map. Or something .
I think it starts with an f. But its not foursquare.

If you've downloaded it before with the same google account you can check in the playstore under myapps> all. Theres a list there of all the apps you have ever downloaded on that account.
Hope this helps
