[Q] Contact picture (phone rivalry)

So when I started using my phone I was thrilled that it took my gmail contacts and the pictures I had linked to said contacts, automatically into my phone. Especially because with the picasa face finding feature, that can then automatically add pictures to your gmail contacts, it just worked very easily.
However, I recently started using twitter and for some reason the phone decided to replace a lot of my contacts pictures with their twitter pictures, which in some cases is just the default blank twitter profile egg thing. This is very annoying and I can't seem to get it to go back to the gmail image, even if I'm not displaying twitter accounts in my contacts list.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried turning off the sync contacts setting in your Twitter account and resyncing your gmail one?

tried that, no good

Picasa web albums stopped Syncing

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 :-(

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).

Picasa

Wondering how Picasa sync works with this phone. I was sending pictures using Hangouts and it seems that when I look in Gallery it shows those pics with the Picasa symbol on it. The problem is that I can't delete it. I have the Picasa software install on my PC and it doesn't even show there. Nor does it show in an app that manages Picasa photos.
Not even sure why those pics were uploaded. I have Google + Photo auto upload turned off...which I don't think is associated with Picasa.
Any insights on this would be appreciated! Thanks.

Did you check your sync settings? Try turning off Picasa Web Uploads.

That does not delete the images. That only removes the syncing from that phone you're using. When you replace it with a new phone, they will show up again. What is the source of those photos? How do you delete them there???

All photos posted in a Google hangout get auto backed up to your Google+ photos. Each hangout conversation should have it's own album in the Photos section of Google+.
If you don't want the photo you are sending to get backed up just turn the "history" off on the chat before you send the photo. You can turn it back on after the photo is sent if you want.

Cannot sync Gallery to FB & Picasa photos

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the Gallery to sync my Google & Facebook photos. I'm infuriated at the moment.
In the FB app, I have the app settings set to sync photos. I also have sync photos selected in Google. I can see my Google photos in "Photos", but not in Gallery.
What the heck have I done wrong?

Coming from an S5, which had this feature, I was similarly disappointed to find that the S6/Edge abandoned Gallery sync with Facebook and Picassa.
From what I can tell, there is nothing you can do to restore this. The sync just isn't there anymore.

I actually spent about an hour on the phone with VZW yesterday. It appears it is a bug. The gentleman I talked to was going to take it up the chain there.
