[Q] Share to GMail from Gallery missing... - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

When my wife opens the gallery and opens a picture then clicks SHARE the option of gmail doesnt show up... (yes even if you scroll all the way down)
We can choose it if we select multiple images in the screen before, or if we start and email then attach and image.
Any idea's how to put that option back?
is it possible to sideload the latest gmail app onto stock non rooted Telstra model 4G S3 ?

Goto Apps, uninstall all gmail updates, reboot (not sure if necesarry), and then update gmail via google play. Voila, gmail is back in the gallery sharing options.
Worked for me.

HTC sense contacts sync

Im running Sense on my Nexus One. Everything works fine apart from a anoying feature.
When I sync my facebook account (htc part) it grabs all the phone numbers of people on facebook. How can i stop that from happening? I just want the contacts that are stored on my google account.

Try ROM CYANOGEN MOD !!!
Peace
If it's anything like the stock 2.1 rom, open up the Facebook app, hit the menu button, select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the list and then select "Sync Contacts" and pick a different option.

This method is ok to get rid if the unwanted contacts but then u can't link any to there Facebook accounts what we need is a way to choose who we do and don't want, not just all or nothing.

[Q] facebook sync / profile picture problem

Hi, im ob darkys ROM 9.3.
Made a fresh clean Setup with factory reset.
The following steps were performed in many different ways:
I can't synch my fb contacts. Hi see the profile names with their information in my contacts, their photo also, but at the linked accounts field is the standard green phone contacts icon. Instead of Facebook its labeled with:unknown. But the missing blue fb icon (and the option to see the media and social fb tab in my contacts) there is another thing that is real annoying :
The profile pictures are shown in their profiles on my phone, but there's a blank image if they call me or in the message tab. Tried several different ways to solve the problem:
Import of an full contacts backup via Titan/myphoneexplorer/kids. Once in an empty phone without linked fb accs. Another time with facebook-filled contacts and than i tried to merge theprofiles..
Itried to use apps like acepic, which shows me an empty profile pic for the online and offline account (at this time both of them were definitely not empty) i tried the photo unlocked, which should give me the ability to use the stored fb profile pictures at my phone in other apps like goDialer... (so i thought it should also work for my message/caller id problem) but it said "coulnt connect to database... maybe busy. - over and over again.
I can set.up the fb contacts in 2 ways: about the account settings in my phone menu,or about the Facebook app. The first option gives me the option to select "add friends" (sorry,don't know the English title for the button. It is the one in the contacts menu, which let u choose your sns account in order to perform a buddy synchronization with your local contacts. But its kinda grey and if i select it, there pops an empty box with an ok button.
Probably you noticed that i tried several ways. I really have no more clues... i want this damn Facebook pictures in the message history and as a damn caller id. Iam from Germany... maybe that's important for some localisation things, i don't know.
PS. It worked before darkys
hey not that its much help but ive been having this issue also. also was on darkys
finally! Im not alone, thats nice to hear... googled like crazy but didnt find anything.
google seems to be a pain for finding these things.
im stuck on my own problem at the moment, i flashed a captivate firmware on my phone by mistake now wont boot :/ and i need my fone fast lol
Google removed that feature from.facebooks functionality about two weeks ago. Sorry guys!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
yeah, is red it already. But it only affects the Nexus One. Dont know if u red my post: The sync option IS available! And it works. But the downloaded pictures were only shown in my contact book.
And because of the app "photo unlocker" which repeats in saying: Database is busy, try again - i think theres a problem somewhere, which blocks other applications from reading in the database....
i have installed js8 with a rom of the kitchen. It seems that the pic sync doesnt work the way it should.
Is there any PC manager to sync and manage contacts ? So that i can give them pictures and push them back to my sgs ?

[Q] Linking up phone contacts with facebook?

Hey there.
I just started using my LG 2x and I am already finding myself somewhat struggling with some of the ways it is (a matter of getting used to it i figure ). But can someone tell me how I can manually link up my phone contacts with my facebook contacts?.
Because some of the contacts I have do not link up by themselves >_<
Hopefully someone can help
My contacts aren't linked with facebook either. I synced with Outlook but it's no facebook linked.
Weird... With Samsung and HTC that goes automatically.
Edit: Maybe you have to be logged in on Facebook for LG-app and not the official facebook app on Android Market?
just give it a little time, i had the same problem, but after a day a so everybody was in!
Open contact -> Menu -> Edit Contact -> Menu -> Merge

you have to set it up to show all your facebook contacts and wait for them to load.
then open a contact, pres menu, select edit contact, pres menu, select merge, find the facebook profile you want to link to you may have to pres show all.
When you are all done hide your facebook contacts from the list

I'm doing just like this, but I get this message: The selected contact can not be added
I'm using the official facebook app, not facebook for LG. Has that anything to do with it?

Are you selecting the contact from the phone and links to the facebook contact, or vice versa?
You gotta do it from the contacts list and not from Facebook.

That's what I did, but I still get this error: The selected contact can not be added
I used the stock Facebook for LG app, and it worked like a charm
Can you also change the contact image as well ?. I mean because some of the people I talk to on Facebook use stupid images and I want to replace them with another image. Can you do that as well ?
I can't get it to work now either... I've done just like you guys said and I just keep getting the same message again and again.

Are you logged in to facebook for LG also? Or only the official facebook app from Market?
Works very fine

And what did you do? Do you use the facebook for LG-app or the official facebook app from Android Market?
Edit: I've got it work! I dropped the contacts from LG PC Suite and imported all my contacts to Gmail, then it worked.

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).

How to eradicate picasa?

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.
