Before using android phone, I have a tons of photo on picasa web.
Now, use my gmail account in android phone, the photo on the picasa web will download to my phone， this is not my desire.
Is it possible to stop synchronize with picasa web ?
Sure thing.
Settings > Accounts and sync > in Manage accounts choose yours one > uncheck "Sync Picasa Web Albums"
Go to settings > Accounts and Sync then select your Google Account under 'Manage Accounts' and untick 'Sync Picasa Web Albums'
I disabled this option.
However , I cannot delete those downloaded photos in the gallery.
android doesn't provide the delete option for me.
Once you disable, the synced photos from Picasa should be gone automatically. Just did that with Captivate.

If you clear Gallery application cache, the picassa web album will gone
in the worse case scenario you can also login to your google picasa account to manually do it from there
not there!
sorry i feel like a bother, im running 2.2 on Samsung Captivate... and i go to the settings and accounts and syncs but theres no option to untick! :/
TRY THIS!!!
Settings>Accounts and Sync
Tap Activate auto-sync
Tap your Google Account
then uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums
back Tap Activate auto-sync for uncheck.
DONE
NOTE : After you do this method, Never tap Sync Picasa Web Albums forever
with this method you never lose your photos on picasa web.
Hey guys, sorry for necroing, but I don't wanna start a new thread. Thing is, my problem is the opposite. Picasa.is syncing photos from my phone to my account, therefore all photos I take OR download will show up in Picasa. I've already disabled sync.with picasa on my phone all along. What can I do?
Maybe you activated "Instant-Upload" in Google+ App, or something like that?
Yes in account turn off auto synch instant upload

Is there something to android like microsoft have (MyPhone) that syncs everything over the air?
On their website it says:
With My Phone you can:
* Back up your phone automatically
* Share photos on your favorite social networking sites
* Access your contacts, text messages and more online for free
* Locate your lost phone

Short answer is YES, long answer is MAYBE. There is an app for each and every feature that MyPhone has. I'm not sure about the SMS though.
Android = Google.
Have a Google Account, then your email, contacts and calendar are all synced to the cloud. Regarding notes, you got Evernote which is more than capable.
I hope I answered your question.
Most of this stuff is built into every android phone
- Email sync is automatic and goes to GMail
- Contact sync is automatic and goes to GMail
- Calender sync is automatic and goes to Google Calender
- Photo and video sync is automatic with Picassa if you enable it
- You can also auto upload to YouTube using your google account
Locate a lost phone is built in by Sansung, go to Settings -> Location & Security -> Mobile Tracker.

Or, there are a ton of other market apps that do this same thing.
OK. i sync gmail and google calender but not contacts. shall i do something to sync contacts?
When u sync with picasa, do u sync contact pictures so they find its way back to the right contact after a hard reset? or do i have to pick one and one pic to one and one contakt?
How mutch space do u have on your picasa account?
"sms backup+" let's you backup sms to gmail for free. "backup to gmail" let's you backup sms, mms and call logs but costs $2. And to sync contacts to gmail you need to select gmail when you add someone to contacts. Simple

ok. thanx.
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 :-(
Hi, XDAers!
I updated my MM2 to Stock Android 2.3.6 and everything was working as well...
But I think I found a little bug in facebook (apk) contacts sync:
I just installed the app via Market and logged in, but for my surprise it doesn't show in Accounts > Other Accounts (as Twitter or even LinkeIn does) and sync is not working. (PS. not the Motoblur thing).
I tryed reinstall facebook app, reflash sbf, wipe data, restore factory defaults, santeria...
No success!
And there's no option in facebook app settings like in 2.2
Someone else can confir this bug, or is just me?
Well, yesterday I noticed the Facebook icon was shown in Accounts > Other Accounts, but when I clicked it, nothing happened... Thought it was a bug of Blur, so I took wipe data / factory reset and created a new Blur account.
Now, I noticed the icon is there and working (I've tested it)
Thank you for post it... I'll set up Facebook contacts from Facebook app instead from Blur (it has a lot of sync bugs)
--------------------------------------
EDIT: seems that there is no way to sync Facebook contacts using Facebook's own application. seems that the only function of the Facebook icon in Accounts > Other Accounts is just log into Facebook application. the only way to perform this task seems to be using the MOTOBlur.
Use Contact Sync For Facebook, is the best for me! If you talk about the same app sorry...
But there 2 apps Facebook Contact Sync and Contact Sync for Facebook, the second choice is best, but didn't have the options to sync automatically

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?
Ignore post

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).
I have picasa web albums set to never sync through gallery and settings>accounts, Google photos is removed, drive set to never sync photos, and still when an app wants me to upload a picture my old picasa photos fill up the selection screen. Is there a way I can disable that or is it just a curse of android?

Iv a weird thing going on with picasa. It shows on my home screen as picasa but when I check out the app info from within app management it shows as Google+ and it shows the same data as cache etc for it.
The weird thing is I'm pretty sure I disabled or hid picasa but after stock root it popped back up on my unhidden apps list. Any ideas?

first in settings, check for the apps and disable the ones you dont want... it will say disabled to the right of it.
second, i have been using an app from the playstore called nobloat free version and then i disable the bloat this way also...
but i acutally go to the system/app and system/priv-app and delete the unnecessary files (bloat ware or apps that I can get from the playstore, cause i have on TB or MyBackup, then for the missing or remainder of the files I find out with nobloat the other file names and then delete the files also.
This way I make a nice clean Stock Debloated Version with TWRP. and save that for when ever I want to start clean..
There's an easy way to disable through settings but I forgot and have been too lazy to look it up again. You should be able to find with a little Google investigating. When you find it, please share with the rest of us lazy bums.
