Sync to Picasa automatically. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I've tried searching for this but have had no luck.
Am looking for a way to upload photos to an album in picasa as soon as I take a photo, automatically without having to do anything after taking the photo.
Is there any app that will allow me to do this?

That was the only one that said automatically in the discription, I don't have an account so I can't test that feature.

Picasa web albums stopped Syncing

For some reason today I had NO picasa web albums in my gallery. So I went into 'accounts & sync settings' mand clicked the 'sync picasa web albums' and it flashes for under a second with no error. I then check my gallery and there are still no picasa web albums. I tried a restart of the phone but that didn't help.
Anybody able to help me ?
Thanks
I had the same problem on stock ROM, but works flawless on CM7.

i had the sme problem. But i downloaded picasa tool from market and from there i synced it. After that, everything works perfectly.
I can use justpictires! To sync and view just like you can in picasatool. But I want them in my gallery not yet another picture viewer. Thanks for the help, at least it shows it's is androids own sync and not google picasa synce problem.

yes, after that u can look at the stock gallery and it shows the whole album of picasa, internal n external album. I don't use picasatool except for uploading pictures. Same as you, i use phone's stock gallery.
Have you tried clearing the data for your gallery under 'Manage Applications'?
One of my colleagues had a similar problem with calendar sync and she got it working after clearing the data.

Tried clearing the data of gallery, and still have NO picasa albums after installing and syncing picasa tool, Picasa tool shows my picasa web albums much like justpictures does, But I still don't see them in my gallery anymore
is there a setting in picasa tool i should be setting to make my gallery sync ?
I have similar problem. I tried clear all data for "Web album Picasa" and also for "Gallery" and now i have on Picasa tab only button for Adding Picasa account. But i have already Picasa under Google Sync Account. I'm able to sync Picasa. But still under Picasa tab see only this button. I tried click on this button and add my account again, but this isn't allowed, because i have already this Google account registered in my phone. That's terrible :-(

[Q] How does auto upload work?

In the account settings there are things like "Sync Picasa Web albums" and "Sync Instant Upload". I assume those have something to do with automagically uploading pictures as soon as I take them.
Is it possible to write an app that would add yet another automatic upload feature? Some kind of special intent that is recognized. What jargon would I search for in android docs to learn how to do this?
I'd like to see if I could upload pictures automatically to a local web server on my LAN, no "clouds" involved.
This is just curiosity, I'd like to learn how this stuff works.
Auto upload uploads photo and video as soon as you capture it. Google instant upload is in Google+ app, where you can activate/deactivate it.
Auto upload is also on Dropbox app and also in AllShare app, so you more programs for auto uploading.
I tested them and because I have slow internet connection and I wanted other features I created own upload feature in my program that uploads files onto PC (via wifi or usb cable).

Picasa problem

guys im using picasa to sync some of my favourite photos (taken with my actual camera) to my phone
annoyingly though, the albums are synced in some seemingly random order which is really annoying as there are 30 of them right now and that number will only get bigger.
does anyone else use Picasa in the album on their phone and can suggest a fix?

fixed my own problem
for anyone who has same problem in future, it seems the htc gallery syncs picasa albums by when they were last UPDATED, and not when they were CREATED.
i guess it makes sense for those who have albums that they are constantly updating, but for me i make an album for an "event" and then thats it, so it doesnt work for me.
anyway - the fix was simply to go to picasa web albums and "update" your albums in the order you want them to appear in - so for me i updated the oldest first right through to the newest. the update can be "nothing" - just go to album properties, open it then save without making a change and it will still register as updated.
htc should give the option regarding which kind of sorting you want but oh well.
Thanks for the info !
Btw i have another problem with Picasa : i can't play any videos as there is no "play button" on them, they are only displayed as pictures...
Any advice ?
I can't even get picasa to work within the gallery. Maybe because I am on Google Apps account instead of a regular gmail account?

If you haven't figured it out already, first use the main menu, "Add online service", select Picasa. That'll open up the Google Accounts page, make sure Picasa is set to sync, then hit back button.
From there, you need to click on "My photos" and then on the left drop-down menu, select Albums, then you should get the option of picking Dropbox, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, and pictures on your phone. If you use the menu from the My Photos page, you can turn off services you don't want (I don't Facebook, I don't Flickr, for instance).

Picasa

Wondering how Picasa sync works with this phone. I was sending pictures using Hangouts and it seems that when I look in Gallery it shows those pics with the Picasa symbol on it. The problem is that I can't delete it. I have the Picasa software install on my PC and it doesn't even show there. Nor does it show in an app that manages Picasa photos.
Not even sure why those pics were uploaded. I have Google + Photo auto upload turned off...which I don't think is associated with Picasa.
Any insights on this would be appreciated! Thanks.
Did you check your sync settings? Try turning off Picasa Web Uploads.

That does not delete the images. That only removes the syncing from that phone you're using. When you replace it with a new phone, they will show up again. What is the source of those photos? How do you delete them there???
All photos posted in a Google hangout get auto backed up to your Google+ photos. Each hangout conversation should have it's own album in the Photos section of Google+.
If you don't want the photo you are sending to get backed up just turn the "history" off on the chat before you send the photo. You can turn it back on after the photo is sent if you want.

Sign-In Request Every Time I Use The Photo Gallery

Hey guys I'm just trying to see if there's any way possible to get rid of the annoying sign in request notification every time i access the gallery or other photo apps??? I don't want to sign in on that account if I'm not mistaken that makes Picasa or something else work like a cloud for photos and i don't want to use that. So is there i way that i can get rid of that?
Turn off Picasa sync. Settings/accounts/google. Click the account listed and a bunch if sync options appear. Find Picasa and un-check it.
