[Q] Remove picasa sync and albums from gallery!

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.

[Q] Google Apps 'Syncing'

Hi All,
Got rooted and Market installed and working the only thing I'm missing its seems is some of the google services, namely Gmail, Gmusic and Chrome
Gmail - installs, says sync is not enabled and crashes
Gmusic - installs and works perfectly with local music, knows about my google account, but will not show any of he music in the cloud
Chrome - installs (sideload) and works fine but will not sync up and show other browsers tabs etc.
Is there some google 'sync' service I'm missing?
Stuff I've installed for google is;
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Many thanks

From what I understand you have to install the apps again after the framework if you didn't do it in that order.

Thanks, I tried that last night - same thing.
Are there different versions of the framework floating about I wonder?
Has no one else seen this issue?

Yeah, and the GoogleLoginService too. I put them all into the /system/app. Unfortunately i ended up returning it to amazon today. The price point on the device is good. But it seemed very unpolished. Bluetooth headset would disconnect after 15 minutes of watching a movie, but stayed connected fine when listening to music. Web browsing was very slow. If i scrolled the page It would just be white and i'd have to wait 1-2 seconds for silk to render the page. Also my unit had some very bad light bleed, see image below. Not to mention i could never find the buttons (power/volume) I think i'm going to pay a little more and get a nexus, it's probably worth the extra money.

Downloaded images wont appear in Gallery

Randomly now whenever I download an image off the internet or export and image from dropbox to my SDCard, the gallery doesn't see it there. I can see it in the camera app in the little box, but i press on that box and its not there. I tried clearing gallery data, media storage, and using scanmedia to see if it can pick up the images but never does. They are there in my SDCard. Tried putting them in the DCIM 100MEDIA folder and the downloads folder and just doesn't work. It'll recognize pictures I take with the camera and put it in the app but never anything downloaded. I'm not rooted by the way. What could cause this?! D:

I was able to download another gallery app and see the images but still can't see them in regular gallery app and camera. :/ Probably just gonna do a reset. Heavily debating in rooting and installing a custom ROM as well but I promised my self that I'd wait a month before rooting.

Restart your phone and see if the images appear in the gallery.
If they do, then it's an issue with Android's media scanner not triggering.
Try this app to request the media scanner to trigger an update.

Tried doing both several times. Still a no go. :/

Make sure you click the dropdown menu to see the other options available. I found all my stuff under albums

Pictures I download or save from web pages appear in the stock gallery app under "All downloads" in Album view.
If you don't have "All downloads" in Album view, tap on the 3-dot icon (menu) and select "Show/hide albums" and check "All downloads".

Tried it all guys. Gallery doesnt see any of the recent images I've added to "All Downloads" but when I use quickpick and enter the All Downloads folder they are there. Of course I tried going in to system/app and installing HTCAlbum.apk (Would try and it would say its a system app and all previous data will be saved but afterwards says app not installed), and it didn't work and now my phone says gallery isn't installed. >.> Guess resetting it will be the best choice.

Have you tried clearing data for the gallery app? Settings>Apps>All>Gallery, scroll down & clear data.

Glad on not the only one. I don't mind resetting but I really want to know why so I don't make the same mistake again. I can't imagine anything I did would cause it but maybe application did it. Don't have any apps downloaded that messed with the gallery though.

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?!??

camera can't focus through store "scan price app"

I upgrade my note9 (which worked flawless with the app) to a s20 fe.
My problem is that i use a app everyday when i do my grocery shopping.
Go to the store, open the app, scan the price of your items, leave the store,,, no waiting in line to pay.
The problem is that the camera that comes with s20 cannot focus when scanning the barcode on the item through the app.
to make it work i have to open the camera app, go into macro set it to 2.0x, go back to the store app, and scan my item.
I have to do that with every item.
Any idears ?

have you tried turning on ''tracking auto focus'' in main camera settings ?

yes its always on.
But i have not tried to turn it off.

Recheck all settings and permissions.
Try holding it further back.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam, app caches and data if needed.
Try reloading the app.

If you can't resolve the issue try using a similar app.
Clearly it's not focusing.

if your camera works fine at this normally same as mine, it's the app itself that perhaps needs an update. I was able to photograph my fingers OK @ about 8 or 9 inches from the phone. the only other variable is the app.

I was thinking the same. The camera works fine by itself, its when i use the app, its out of focus.
i guess its the app that needs a update.

Have you disabled services, apks, anything on the phone? Dependencies...

no you shouldn't, he's asking if something the app might utilise could have been disabled.
go to the play store and click on the reviews and filter them for ''my device'' or ''this device / phone''.
if it's the app you shouldn't be the only one with this complaint. if you are the only one as blackhawk suggested it should be something on your particular phone.
I might download it myself if you give it's exact name, I had a quick look but nothing that matches your screen shot showed up.
