[Q] Remove picasa sync and albums from gallery! - LG Optimus 4X HD

Just noticed in that my phone synced with the picasa web album and it downloaded over 1GB of photos!
Thing is, there is no option to disable only the picasa web album, but it doesnt matter, since I dont sync anything automatically.
Also, I cannot delete the albums from the Album application!
Is there a way to disable the picasa web album sync and how do I delete all the picasa pictures it downloaded?
Thanks!

go to Gallery in Settings Application, and Clear Cache and Data

so, then go to settings account & synchronisation, choose your account and turn off things what is supposed to not synchronize

The problem is that it does not have check boxes to tick what I dont want to sync.
Only available option is to just click to refresh and sync.

Just go to "Account & Sync" > select your Google account > there will be an option "Sync Picasa Web Albums" at the bottom

Thats exactly my problem, I dont have these check boxes to select what to sync and what not to sync!

Turn on sinc in setings.
If it's turned off you dont have that...boxes.

Impossible to download Gmail app for Diamond

I want to check my email through the java app that gmail allows to download, but when you try to donwload it, it appears this error message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And if i download the english version, i can download it, but its really small! Its impossible to read messages:
Ok. What program do you recommend to read gmail emails without using the pen? i prefer to use fingers on the screen. And i dont want any program that downloads the emails to the PDA, just check emails. Thanks
You can go in the menu to menu>open>parameters and uncheck "use small fonts" (don't know actual names for the menu and the option in english, since I use it in french).
Fonts will remain quite small, but usable as far as I'm concerned.
For the spanish version, I have no clue.
I use internet explorer to access my gmail account, and it works fine.
Opera won't work
Works with opera here ^^ (might be lucky ?)
I'm sure you're aware of this already, but just in case you haven't actually tried it...
The diamond's email setup handles gmail nicely. If you add a gmail account, it auto detects the settings, and it works in an imap style, so you just view the messages rather than downloading them off the server completely.

Wow thx...trying right now
its horrible this app to check emails.
any hint? it seems a Java error, I am unable to install the Gmail app in my 1.93 italian rom too
I succeed in downloading and installing the ENGLISH app at the address
http://gmail.com/app
but characters are WAY too small and zoom doesn't work
EDIT
solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2426977&postcount=24 :
in a nutshell: double the values of HKCU\Software\JBlend\AMS_Font_Size, VM_Font_Size0, VM_Font_Size1, and VM_Font_Size2
well,
i can't find the jblend. And i'm looking at the right place.
i've got gmail installed (and working).
someone else has the same problem?

Did you copy them from SIM to phone and not delete the original? I mean do you have them in the phone and also in the SIM? Are they duplicates?

Nope
all contacts are facebook or gmail sync
Try adding a contact only for gmail, if that is possible...
If after doing that you get the names in messaging app it could be a sync bug or something.
Post tests feedback, please.

De authorize HTC sense from accessing Facebook.

When I first got the phone and logged into Facebook it asked for HTC to access it for things, I press Ok but I regret it now, I'm trying to De authorize but not sure how. I deleted the permission from within Facebook but I get an unswipeable notification that there is an authorization problem in the swipe down. Anyone know how to get this done?
I really just want to remove Facebook pictures from my gallery app so if anyone knows how to do that, that would be great.
Go to gallery, click settings, click show /hide albums. Uncheck the marks on the albums that you don't want to show.

I'm pretty sure if you remove facebook from your accounts, and then just log in with the downloaded facebook app - if you want to be able to use it, you should be good.
More importantly - what is that cake that joslin is eating?!??

Zoe-recordings stopped working in gallery

Yesterday after a reboot some of my zoe-recordings stopped working in gallery-app.
Also the thumbnail is all gray.
They are still working in the "Photos"-app though... And when I should attach a photo in tapatalk via gallery-app.
I had the same issue a month ago or so.
Anyone else had this issue?

Haven't had that issue, but you could try clearing Data and Cache in the Gallery App
Settings -> Apps -> (scroll right to "All" Tab) look for "Gallery" and select clear data, clear cache
that should rebuild the thumbnails.

Ok, but it won't delete photos when I clear data?

No it doesn't delete the real photos, only the gallery's database... Imagine you uninstalled the Gallery app, and it would delete your pictures... or a Music app and it would delete all your music.... then HTC / Google would be hearing even more complaints
I do it from time to time (usually when dirty-flashing ROMs), and haven't lost any pictures, and when I open the Gallery app, it just takes a bit longer the first time, as it has to rebuild the database.
I still havn't solved this problem. My videos seems to be broken now. I can't open them with any app, or on my computer.
Can this be because i uninstalled gallery-app once and reinstalled it from play, because i had a zoe-problem with ViperOne 6.0 rom?
I now use ViperOne 6.2 after a full wipe installation and i don't get this problems now with new recordnings, but my old recordnings are still broken as i said.
Anyone have clue how i can somehow fix my broken videos? Can i use some program on my computer like Vitrualdub or such?
Thanks!

Bug in Facebook app

When I receive an email from Facebook (for any notification such as Birthday reminds, Login alerts, etc.) on my phone (whether to Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook), and open Facebook via any link provided in the email, I am shown the option of whether to "Open with" using "Facebook", "Chrome", or "Internet" (because I have never set a default). If I choose Facebook, it opens a Facebook app, but it is slightly different than if I open the Facebook app directly from App drawer. For example, there is no option to "Post to someone's timeline" in the version opened from the Email link.
In the following images, you can see for yourself that there is a difference between Email Link Facebook (left side) and Native Facebook (right side).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice that they are clearly different. The Email Link Facebook doesn't even have a "Write Post" option.
Is this because it is sometimes launching the un-updated Facebook app that came preloaded on my phone? Can other Galaxy S6 users confirm this experience? How can I stop this from happening?
Try clearing data from the app and signing in again

I had already tried that. It didn't work. I can't uninstall completely, because FB came preloaded. But after removing updates and clearing all data, my phone requested to download FB after clicking on the FB icon in my app drawer. I allowed it. The outcome was the same as I've described above. I then downloaded the latest updates from the Play Store. The outcome was again the same as I described above.
Serio22, are you saying this does not occur on your Samsung Galaxy S6?
It looks the same as when I open it from the app drawer, don't use it much though, but links never open for me

What are you comparing opening FB from the app drawer to? I'm comparing opening it from a link.
