Guys, I am starting this thread as I did not see this issue discussed.
My phone is not able to load picasa web albums or view pictures from the IE browser. When I click on a link from an email, the picasa mobile page launches and loads. But the Google loading circle with colored dots go round and round, trying to load the pictures, but they never do. I've tried this with couple of albums with no luck.
I'm not sure if anyone has this problem. Please share your thoughts on this and any workaround.

Probably because Google is trying to use some fancy HTML5/JavaScript trickery that IE doesn't yet support.
Go into your settings for IE, and change it to view in desktop mode, then reload the page. You should be able to browse Picasa then.
I just noticed this problem too. Very disappointing that this thread is from 8 months ago and the problem still exists!

I can't figure out why yet, but theres a slight issue w/ the Htc Albums app from the hero builds I've encountered, when switching to Facebook albums view and selecting myself no album's are loaded, it says I have none, even tho I have at least 3 up there.
Everyone else's on my list load up fine no matter how little or how large an amount of albums they have, yet mine will not display
Anyone have an Idea why that would be happening?
tried logout/login and that did nothing.
Flickr works fine though, my albums show up no problem
just poppin this back to the top in hopes someone has figured out how to get it working.
When is there going to be either:
An official Picasa app
Or a legitimate 3rd party app
This is Google after all, strange that one of their premier (imo) apps simply doesn't exist on a Google phone.

I agree... it should include Geo-Taggin as well! i mean its on the phone on Hero rom so why not include in app like FootPrints have?
When the G1 first came out a company called Multiple Facets released an app called Pictorial that connected to your Picasa Web account. It looks like this app was retired as I can not find an updated version anymore, luckily I kept this app when I made a backup using AppManager. You would have to log in to your Picasa account and you would be able to see all of your web albums and albums of friends. You could download pictures as well. It's not the most beautiful app but still works well on 1.5. I've included it in this post as an attachment. Hope this helps and is what you're looking for.

you can upload to picasaweb natively from the gallery. Do you want a full image editor?

I've been looking for that. I had it at first and then lost it during an early wipe. Big Thanks!

Hi,
We will consider the possibility.

Hello,
You used to have an app named Pictorial for the Android platform that
is no longer available on the Android Market. Are you ever planning
on re-releasing it? Pictorial is the best way to view Picasa web
albums and would love to see an updated version.

The problem I have is viewing, not uploading. I've got a new baby and my wife loves Picasa for managing the picture and uploading them. The problem is that the web interfiace for Picasa on the G1, at least last I checked, will only show the first 100 pictures in an album. This will show them all.
Pictorial will show all pictures sorted by gallery. I have 4 galleries on my Picasa account and my fiancee has 6 galleries under hers and I can view them all with Pictorial. You can also download and save pictures.
I usually don't usually have a problem saving pics from wg (wallpaper) onto my sd card, until recently. Whenever I try to open or view the pic in a new window, it doesn't load. I'm doing this over a wifi connection and I don't have any problems viewing other content. Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue?
Does it work in a different browser?
That's a very good question! Why didn't I think of that?
Well, yes the picture did load in firefox (took awhile though).
However, it seems I can't save the pic now. Odd...
ChanScan from the Market?

Chanscan: interesting app with potential, but it didn't work as advertised for me.
I also spoke too soon about firefox. The pic I wanted wouldn't load up for me a second time. I tried skyfire next. After a couple of refreshes and a couple of false downloads, I finally got the bloody wallpaper.
Thank you, everyone for your suggestions.
My apologies if this has been mentioned/answered elsewhere (I did search) but when clicking on a link to YouTube on Facebook, Internet Explorer opens up and then says something like "Can't download file! Windows phone doesnt support this file type."
Is this a bug? Can it be fixed? I've tried installing loads of different YouTube apps to see if it will open the link up in them but it doesn't. This is really annoying!!

the youtube apps dont detect the click through thus doesn't change the link to the m.youtube.com sub-domain, been covered before, no answer to it as yet apart from manually chane the url once it fails?
i tried manually editing the link when it opens in IE but its not a normal YouTube link and all the things ive tried changing it to just give the same error. YouTube links open fine from Twitter and other places, just not the Facebook app which is what annoys me the most. I love my Windows Phone but its missing so many features that would be considered basic by todays standards and Microsoft really need to kick up the pace if they wanna stand a chance of survival!
Have you tried opening it on the Facebook section of the People hub?

I notices this with 2 websites. Flickr and Youtube. Lets work with youtube.
I go to a video, it loads, for a split second I see the page, then it goes all white, but the music keeps playing. What makes it weird, is when I open the developer console or JS console, the website works normally, I can scroll and stuffs, when I close the console, it stays on the half it last saw, and I can't scroll again. Tried disabling extensions, and nothing helped. Before it worked again if I restarted Chrome now it doesn't. I even updated to the newest beta.
Update: I just found this problem with another website, which it never had. Also I don't have this problem with any other browsers, and I'm running a mac, even though it wouldn't make a difference. And don't tell me to get a PC because I have more PC's than you.
Interesting thing, after I found another website with the problem. It's when I try to view the page hits on my facebook business page. That has a graph. So does the flickr page. Maybe something with HTML5?
Ended up restarting my computer and it seems to be fine now. Weird. But maybe keep this topic open if it happens again. It was a while since I restarted my computer, a month maybe? lol
Chrome has always been buggy with youtube for me. It used to go to an all white screen anytime I tried to view fullscreen. Little other things here and there. Firefox is still my goto, though chrome to mobile has possibilities.
