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

Has anyone tried syncing with their Google Apps account?
I get all my contacts and email (Gmaill app) properly, however, I only get the "main" / default calendar in my Calendar app. Normal Google.com (xxx at gmail dot com, accessed through calendar.google.com) calendars work fine.
For example in my Google.com account, I have:
- Friends
- Gym
- Work
All these appear (in addition to the default xxx at gmail dot com calendar) in my Calendar app under Settings->Calendars and are labelled w/ xxx at gmail dot com. However, in my Google apps account (xxx at mydomain dot com, accessed through calendar dot mydomain dot com) I have:
- Work
- Thesis
- Other Academics
I don't have any of these listed in the Calendar app, even after syncing countless times. I only have one calendar from the domain: the default xxx at mydomain dot com.
Syncing with this calendar works fine and it sends updates both ways, however I can't see my other calendars being listed.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Actually I also have the same problem. It seems like google confuses between the personal google account and the google apps user account. For example. I cant access my subscriptions using gogle reader because all my rss subscriptions are in my personal google account and i dont know how to switcj between the two.
When I logged into the domain admin for my Google Apps account, it seems Google is opening up Google Apps accounts for access to most of the rest of their services, however I didn't see Android in there.
I wanted to try out whether setting up my first account (factory reset, etc) using the Google Apps account would fix it but I didn't want to wipe out everything I have right now.
Bump.
Anyone?
I finally had the chance to try out and set up the Google Apps account as my primary account since I did a full wipe + factory reset + flash on my tab today, to no avail.
Still a Google Apps account only shows 1 calendar.
Strange... I've set up my private and apps accounts and everything works great for me...
My private gmail account has several calendars, as does the apps account, and everything works fine, I can see all the events from all the chosen calendars...
I used the Accounts & sync settings to setup the accounts.
Well that's weird, maybe there's something wrong with my Google Apps configuration, I'll check with another account. But then again I've tried setting all the possible sharing and privacy settings appropriately just to test but nay.
I also used the Accounts and Sync settings to set up the account.
Okay, I can confirm there is something wrong with my Galaxy Tab built-in Calendar App.
For the sake of testing I downloaded several different Calendar apps from the Market and all of them can see the Calendars I have from my Google Apps account.
There was this app called Business Calendar that showed me the actual calendar IDs of each calendar and I can confirm they match the ones listed in my Google Apps account.
The moment I check it and add it to the list of Calendars displayed by Business Calendar, and I switch to the Calendar app that came on the Tab, the Calendars were listed in Menu->Settings->Calendars and turning them on worked properly.
I'm guessing there's something wrong with the built-in Calendar app? Maybe some issue with Calendar Storage or something. Everything works now but it sucks that I have to launch Business Calendar, sync, and enable it from there before seeing it in the built-in Calendar app.
Again, anyone have this issue?
I have the exact same problem. I did as you did, installed Business Calendars and it showed my 3 Google calendars all OK. They then showed up in the default calendar program. Canadian tab bought in Calgary.
had a similar problem with several of my google calendars showing up as being synced but no data from the calendar was being synced. I tried messing with pushing the calendar storage from my vibrant to my tab and it got stuck in a force close loop. I also tried to delete all the calendar entries which subsequently deleted all my future google calendar entires. After reimporting from a backup I made before I deleted it showed up on my tab.
Yeah, me 2, and some one suggested to add these two services, which are
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and,
GoogleServicesFramework
has anyone tried this? Does this work?

Facebook Account synch was not available in Donut 1.6, so I downloaded the 2.2.1 update from this website for Cricket for both my Zio phones. Both are having the same issue. Contacts --> Menu --> Accounts --> Add Account --> Facebook. This does not work.
After clicking Facebook, it kicks me back one screen without adding it to the list of synched accounts. If I log out of Facebok and clear the data, and re follow the steps above, it displays the log in screeen to facebook. After logging in, it simply brings up my facebook home screen. When I go back into Account & Sync settings, Facebook is still not listed. Is anyone with a Zio, and with the 2.2.1 update having this issue?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Facebook app to no avail.
I'm having that same issue. I have been doing some research and will let you know if i find a fix
download syncmypix from the market. It works great unfortunately it does add everyone from your facebook. If it cant find a contact because the name is different just press and hold onto the contact in syncmypix and seletc link to contact and select the contact you have in your phone book and it will sync it.
make sure you have sync turned om from the facebook app itself. open the app, and back out of the newsfeed. press menu > settings and verify you have contact sync turned on.

I'm running the offical facebook app from the android market and I have the same issue.
Same issue
I installed the Facebook app from the market and I have the same issue. I am unable to sync Facebook in my contacts.
Im pretty sure this is because there isnt a stock facebook app built into our android version.
And when you think about it, if you install facebook app, it will automatcally sync (in the facebook settings). So theres really no need for android to handle the sync.
Kyocera should have removed this from the sync settings..
I had to do a factory reset. I added Facebook as an account and synced contacts. It doesn't show up in accounts but all my FB contacts are in my contacts now. Sign out of the FB app, uninstall it. Add FB to your accounts. Reinstall. Contacts should be there. Make sure your also signed out of FB in your browser.

Facebook contacts may be added by going to the home screen(or one with sufficient space) and long pressing. The go to folders. Put up Facebook Phonebook. Open it. Go in to each contact individually and add them.
FunZio
Not necessarily the easiest way to sync your Facebook contacts, I am going to see what can be done to actually sync contacts.

Easiest way I have found to sync facebook contacts is an app called friendcaster. There is a free and pay version on the market place.
Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

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
