If you disable the Google Photo sync to remove Picasa albums, you loose Google+ upload photos function.
I have the same problem. I tried deleting some of the pictures straight from Picasa and now , where I deleted the photos I get blank spots in my phone's gallery . Also, as you stated disabling the sync seem not to work.
If somebody has found a solution we're waiting for an answer.

I don't care about it, in fact, i don't sue g+.

Then open settings in Gallery app and disable photo sync.

Use this one instead the original. First make backup of the original app, then push it with the ADB.
Can you please let us know what edits were made to this apk?

As long as you stopped Google photo sync, try clear cache in Google+ in setting will have picasa albums cleared.
I had this problem as well, after a bit of googling here's what I did and it worked for me (I was offline during this process!):
1. stop google photo sync in accounts & sync settings
2. go into the app drawer and drag the google+ app to the top where it says view app info
3. force stop it and clear data
4. do the same for the gallery app
after that I restarted the google+ app and restored my settings (keeping photo sync off when it asks you on startup of course) and the picassa albums were gone!

I unselected the photosync from account and mounted as USB. Then when to android folder and then to Gallery 3D. Then I went to cache and deleted the files that had picasa in it and unmounted the phone. Then went to gallery from manage apps and deleted data and cache and voila ! =)
1. Make sure your "Google photos" option in "Accounts and Sync" is unchecked.
2. Go to Settings > apps > All Apps > Gallery. Now hit the "Clear data" button
3. Go to Settings > apps > All Apps > Google+. Now hit the "Clear data" button
4. Go to the Gallery app and hit the menu key and refresh.
5. Your albums won't go away immediately. Patience.
I got same problem, here my solution,
Remove that account (after sync all contents you want).
Disable Sync.
Add your account back.
Enable Sync and then fast disable Google-Photo sync in that account.

Cheers, worked a treat!
Or
simply observe Sync 'on', delete album from g+, re-sync, turn off sync.
Any solution which doesn't include turning off Google Photo synch?
For normal galleries, adding a .nomedia file in the directory would normaly do the trick.
Does someone know where the picasa pics are stored in the phone? (they're accessible offline too, right?)
Social Contact Photo Sync
Just try this app. It allows to link local contacts with social contacts and to keep the local contacts automatically in sync with a linked social contact.
It supports:
GooglePlus
Twitter
Instagram
Facebook (only with ROOT and the original facebook app)
WhatsApp (you have to force whatsapp to download new pictures by opening a contacts picture in whatsapp, the rest is handled by the app)
Viber (still in there, actually, this is currently not really usable, you can just link a contact with a viber picture, but you can't sync with new picutures)
The app tells you in more detail, what you have to care about, if you want to automatically sync your contact pictures...
Any feedback or suggestion is appreciated.
The app is completely free, the in app purchase just removes the adds. Functionality is free
Get the app from the playstore: Social Contact Photo Sync
Guide/Tutorial: http://www.michaelflisar.com/social-contact-photo-sync-general/
how can i force the app to automatch the contct sync???
Start the batch auto sync setup dialog and click the headers of the groups (like 90 to 100% and so on, all the way down to 0 to 10% if you really want that), this will select the complete group at once. This way you can select all your contacts and use the best match as auto sync contact...
I still advice you to once look through the list and disable or correct all the wrong matches... Afterwards my advice would be to scroll through your contacts and only look at the ones withaut an auto sync contact and if you know you have this friend in one network, manually set up those contacts one by one... This is my prefered way to do it...
PS: a complete guide is online here: http://www.michaelflisar.com/social-contact-photo-sync-general/
Is there any place where I can download older versions? Becuase I wanna test if I am doing something wrong (even if I believe I do the same as earlier) or the last 2 versions are buggy in importing facebook friends via csv copy - getting error code 14.
this error code comes from using the root method normally - just change the root method of facebook to method 3, this one should work (click on the facebook card on the home screen and click setup facebook)
If you really just want to import the csv and don't have a facebook app installed and are not rooted, then just send a feedback via the app after something went wrong...

I am on Android N Preview 3 which is not working with the root method. And meawhile, I realized that the fault is mine, not the app's. I opened the csv file with a different text editor (Solid Explorer's), not with that one which I used earlier (MiXplorer's text editor) and somehow it showed in a different format I guess which I copied and the app didn't like that. I reinstalled MiXplorer, opened the csv file with it, copy paste and now it's importing fine again.

any way to avoid the dinosaur-official fb app?
Either use the non root method or just deinstall the Facebook app again after my app has imported the contacts

The new WhatsApp changed in the way that there is no local image I could use anymore... so this new integration is all I can offer...

Whereever your Android contacts app does save it. Normally it's a database.
You can force my app to auto sync all contacts without checking if an image was changed though, go to general settings, click on advanced settings and click on the last entry in the dialog that pops up... afterwards an auto sync will overwrite an contacts image with an active auto sync without checking if the images has changed or not
I just purchased the pro version! I have had android for seven or eight years but never really had correct contact photos so thank you for this wonderful app. It makes it so easy. I noticed this app's logo shows the linkedin logo but syncing with the linkedin network isn't obvious to me. How can I do this?
LinkedIn is not working anymore. I had a root method that worked once, but then they changed their app and now this method is not working anymore.
Official LinkedIn integration is not possible either (via login to LinkedIn), I already tried it but they won't accept my app. As a primary business network they do not accept apps that access data in background without direct user interaction, this is against their usage rules.
I'm still getting the {"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"} when trying to add Instagram. Just wanted to know if everyone else is still seeing this?

Everyone should have this error... LinkedIn changed their usage rules at 01.06.2016, so I had to submit my app again and currently am waiting for approval... I'm not sure if they will though...

Hello everybody, i have a question about Google Android backup :
When I look at the data of the app saved, I only see google app and no other. Is that normal?
It seems to me that I've seen screenshots backup of other users with data from other app.
I thought the backup was for all installed app. Is there a specific parameter ??
Could someone confirm this to me?
Thanks, have a good day
Google Backup app
Here's how you can find out:
Open Google Drive from the home screen or app drawer.
In My Drive, select the hamburger menu from the top left corner.
Navigate to Settings.
Tap Manage backup.
You'll see a list of all the apps that are using the backup service

I'm posting this because I've googled this issue to death and I'm not getting anywhere. Nothing I've seen on there has worked. Maybe one of you guys might point me in the right direction.
The problem occurs happens when trying to export my contacts to a .vcf file using the My Contacts app and my calendar to an .ics file with Simple Calendar Pro.
Contact app says: No app was found to handle this action.
Calendar app says: System service for selecting files and folders in unavailable
While we're talking 2 separate apps and 2 separate types of files, I can't help but think these 2 issues are somehow married to each other.
Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this other than doing a full factory reset?
Is Calendar Storage on your phone?
Contacts storage app is on your phone?
This happens when there no calendar storage app on phone, or its just an app malfunction.
Try stock calendar.

I did that and it's not working either. The contacts app won't export .vcf files either. I also tried to back up my Nova launcher configuration and got a similar message.
Something's wrong somewhere. Oh well....

I'm fairly certain this is a "My Contacts" app issue than a Pixel 7/Android 13 issue; I'm guessing it's because it's not the stock Contacts app or something.

In Android something (a while back, maybe 10 or 9), apps would need special permission to access anything, even on the internal sd directory. This most likely has to do something with that. Most of the time the app states it needs permissions and you have to direct it to the root directory/device and "allow access". I'm trying to remember this from the top of my head, so it is vague, but it's something like this.

I'm curious what shows up when you select "Share" from the stock Contacts app....What do you mean "won't export"? Like through messaging, email, Telegram, Whatsapp, bluetooth, Nearby Share, etc.? All of them?

I just looked all over the stock Contacts app on the Pixel 7 Pro. There are a ton of items to either configure or do other stuff, but nowhere is there anything for sharing. I don't believe the problem is there. I just shared a picture with the Gallery app and it worked.
By "not export" I mean that the Contacts app won't export the contacts to a .vcf file which can be stored as a backup and reimported later. When I try it I get the error message I mentioned. I'm having the same issue with the Calendar app. It will not export to an .ics file. Importing does work, the problem is exporting.
I've checked all permissions for both these app. Everything is allowed and the problem persists. :-(

You need a file explorer to export with do you have the Google Files program frozen/deleted or an alternative installed? I use MiXplorer and the app opens when I export contacts to choose a location to export.

Ok, now we're getting somewhere
I have Files by Google installed and working, as well as Total Commander and X-Plore. All permissions active except for notifications. Shouldn't at least one of these do the trick? Or is there another issue going on somewhere?
Is there something special about MiExplorer that these other proggies lack?

Sorry I should've been more clear i meant an app when viewing all apps in device settings ➡ Show System apps it will be called "Files" or MAYBE I think "Documents UI" the package name is com.google.android.documentsui if you have this installed & enabled I unfortunately don't have any suggestions. I've only had this same problem when accidentally removing this app when debloating my phones. I did freeze it, uninstall MiXplorer and installed both the apps you mentioned and got the same error about exporting. I don't know why it works for me with just MiXplorer and not those other apps though.

When you hold down on a contact, you don't see the "share" option? The 3 dots aligned like a sidewards triangle?

If I hold down on any contact and tap the "share" button, that's the only way it tries to share it -- as a .vcf file; and it offers like 10 options to send/share that .vcf file...

As long as it is given permission to "contacts" and probably "modify system settings" is set to Allowed...that should be enough...
I was able to make a copy of the vcf file through the phone app I checked the folder on Google files so you deffo have a problem have you tried clearing the cache of the apps un installed the apps updates and reinstalled the updates if those don't work I think a back up and factory reset would fix it
It may not be in the contacts app that your solution lies. If I'm understanding correctly. It may be the app that you're trying to import the contacts too. I just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly, you're trying to import these things to the simple contacts app? You shouldn't have to do anything with the Google contacts app itself. It's likely to be something you would do on your Google account and not actually in an app but in a browser
Sorry, no idea why that posted twice.

Kudos to you, dude! I googled the package name you mentioned and someplace there was a download link for something called "documentsui-t-frc-doc-3304430". I brought it down and gave it a shot. IT WORKED!! Both the contacts and the calendar file export services work flawlessly. The full name of the package is "com.google.android.documentsui.theme.pixel". It shows up as a system app on the App Manager program. There is no icon anywhere. But hey, it does the job. Thanks for your help.
Now tell me why I'm having trouble updating Windows 11 and installing apps from the Windows Store. Yeah, I know, it's not what we discuss on this forum. But you know quite a bit. Maybe you could point me in the right direction. Once again, googling isn't getting me anywhere.

Hopefully the moderators won't be mad at me for posting this on a Google Pixel Pro forum. I'll try to keep it brief. Hopefully someone can point me elsewhere.
Whenever I try to update something or download from the Windows Store, it gives me a 0x80070001 error. I've been able to download and install updates and store apps manually. The problem is that sometimes this method works and sometimes it doesn't.
I installed something call Windows 10 Privacy. I've been using it since before upgrading to Windows 11. I emailed the developer and he suggested re-enabling all tabs that block telemetry. It didn't work.
I'm convinced that just like the problem I had with the phone, this has to be due to some detail somewhere. But where? Googling hasn't helped. There are billions of suggestions on there to fix the 0x80070001, and none work.
Any ideas..
