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.

Under Accounts, Google Account, make sure "Sync Picasa Web Albums" is disabled. Then clear the Gallary cache and Data in Application Manager.
Worked for me.

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.

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.

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?

Am I the only one with this problem? And is there a fix?

This happens to me sometimes. I usually just backout of messages, and go back in and it works fine. Hasn't hapened for a few days though.
Happens to me ALL the time...
Yeah from my searching it's been happening to all of us at one point or another. I usually delete my facebook account from the phone and re-add them. Pics come back.
Here is the fix - you probably ran permission fix in CWM. This is one of the results...
Go into Applications - Manage applications
Go to ALL applications tab
Scroll down to Contacts Storage and click it.
Clear its data
Scroll down to Market
Clear data
Open market - accept agreement
Resync your contacts. This only erases the picture cache not your numbers. It gets corrupted when you run permission checks in CWM.
I had this same problem, it wasn't storing the picture right in the SMS app, and other apps like LauncherPro weren't able to pull any of the contact pictures. I also had it not syncing my Facebook picture with my local contact (which I find annoying).
What I did is added the Facebook for HTC Sense account, and let this sync. When I installed the FB app I told it to not sync anything.
Now everything is working great.
Well my problem was due to the cwr and cuz I was saving contact to the phone and not to Google ! How can I have saving to Google default

Second of all, don't ever save your contacts on your phone, that's what google sync is for. When you start restoring saved contacts and letting google sync run, you're creating a huge mess.
In your case I would clean up the contacts on google, then wipe your phone (not restoring any contacts saved on the phone) so that everything you have on google is what you have on the phone.
I did this a while back, and have been happy ever since.

Absolutely agree with you. After I rooted, i dont know what I did, but after i rooted, all my facebook contacts ended up on my phone. )And no, I didnt tell the facebook app to sync all) I think i added the google account and facebook accounts too fast and then hosed it up when it brought up suggested linked contacts. I just went to Google contacts, cleaned what i didnt want, made some changes to other contacts, cleared contact storage data, and had them all back how i like less than 2 minutes later. and i still had facebook for htc sense setup and it had everybody synced in about 5 minutes. been perfect ever since.
Anyone get it to work on EB1.03? I know it works on CM7 but it's still waaaay too buggy for me right now to use as a daily.
Doesn't work on the leaked rom either. Doesn't even give the option in the facebook app to sync contacts.

If you read up about the launch of the Nexus S and Facebook, you will see this is because Google removed the sync ability of Facebook. Google is pissed because Facebook displays it's contacts in the address book without storing it locally. Previously, Google gave Facebook special API access to the contacts app, but they have removed it as of Gingerbread. Facebook will have to update their sync so it adds it to the shared contacts of the phone.

Google removed the ability in Gingerbread, use something like SyncMyPix if all you need is contact photos. If you need more than that I'm clueless.

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...

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 have a Google Apps account and mine doesn't work either. Quite annoying!!
I have my Google account listed in "accounts and sync", auto sync is on, I have "sync Google photos" checked, and it shows the current date and time for time last synced.
But none of my Google photos are showing up in my gallery.
All of my other synced items appear to work (calender, contacts, ...) but not the gallery.
What could the problem be?
