Picasa sync - Desire HD General

Hi
I used to be able to sync my pics to Picasa in the gallery and view my Picasa pics with cm mod on my HTC magic. Is there a way I can do this on the DHD? I know you can sync Flickr but I don't use it.
Thanks,
Steve

same here, i use the picsa with the stock rom that come with my nexus, thats work like
cream with the stock gallery, and now i can't, so i use the Picasa in the browser...

It does seem weird that Picasa, a Google product, isn't supported, but Flickr is.
I use Pixelpipe to sync my photos to Picasa.

I was getting the same issue. It appears to be a problem with 2.2, not the handset.
The only way I found of getting around this was to do a hard reset (Settings> SD & Phone Storage > Factory data reset) and skip the Google sign in, then once I was passed all the set up data entry open Market and log in to Google form there.
Since then I can upload to my picasa account no problems.
a hard reset does not erase data on the SD card but it does on the phone so it might be an idea to back up your Apps to first.

i have attacked the Gallery 3d apk which when installed will allow syncing with picasa on desire hd

I tried that before doing the factory reset but it didn't work.

sorry to hear that not sure why it doesn't word on your phone when it works on mine. I have included a screen shot of my google account on my Desire HD after installing the app showing the picasa sync option.

No, I got it working but I had to to doa factory reset and skip signing in to Google in the set up screens. I had the 3d gallery installed before this and I tried it but didn't work. Only reset and signing in to Google via Market got Picasa working for me.
Annoying how random all this can be...

Just thought that id mention that this is avilable in the market, there is also another good app called picasa tool pro (its free).
Gallery3d is simpler to use though.

I was missing Picasa Webalbums sync and icon in the Gallery HTC Desire HD. Synchronization of my gallery and Picasa did not occur.
This was the solution for me :
Go to the app HTC Hub (if not there, add HTC Sense to your Accounts and Synchronization). Then, go to Apps and Plugins. De-select the "Picasa Webalbums" plugin. Reboot. Go back to HTC Hub app and enable the plugin.
Solved.

why are there two facebook applications?

Why are there two facebook applications on the mytouch 4G? One is called just facebook and one is called facebook for mytouch? When I upload pictures I can use both programs with different interfaces for uploading. Only facebook for mytouch is syncing my contacts.
The Facebook for myTouch is the one built into the phone. The that just says Facebook is the Facebook independent application that you downloaded from the marked. You don't need the Facebook app from the market for most things. So, if you want to make your send-to list look cleaner then you can unstall your downloaded Facebook app.
Out of the box the phone only has "Facebook for myTouch" and the fb integration is used to read and update statuses (friend stream, built in account sync, etc).
Hope that helps.

Thank you. That helped a lot. Just one question regarding updates. How is the facebook for mytouch application updated when not through the market?
How do you do status updates and stuff from the integrated one?

I deinstalled the facebook application and left only the facebook for mytouch application on the phone. You can do only status updates etc over the friends stream widget I guess. That is stupid. I reinstalled the facebook application again because I never use the friend stream widget anyway. I will remove the facebook for mytouch account for syncing and add the normal facebook account (edit: just found out you cannot add the facebook account for syncing). I don't know why HTC implemented so many redundant functions...peep and twitter, cannot use picasa in the gallery anymore either because they integrated flickr...at least they should give us the choice.
Ya that's why I can't wait till cm6.1 gets stable for this phone.i came from a g2 on rc3 lol

Picasa drives me crazy

Hi all,
Even if I uncheck the Picasa synchronization in Google account, my DHD keeps asking me for an authorization for Gallery to get to my Picasa account (which I don't have !).
How can I get rid of it ?
How lucky you are, I have the exactly opposite problem
Can't you uninstall the picasa add-on in HTC Hub?

Well I've already uninstall HTC Hub.
But do you know which .apk belongs to Picasa ?
Dunno.. But you should also be able to uninstall it via Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications. I see it listed there as "Picasa Web Albums" on my phone under Downloaded apps.

Well I've certainly removed it with ROM Cleaner before flashing Revolution HD as it doesn't appear in Applications list.
But I don't know why after a whole day being asked for an authorization, it doesn't seem to ask anymore... Tired perhaps... ?
reicassa problem
i have similar problem. i've downloaded picassa plugin to Gallery from htc Hub and when i try to use it, it writes my YOUTUBE account and asks me to type in my GOOGLE password.
and when the youtube account is wrong (what i cant change), the password will be wrong whatever i do thats is real FAIL

[Q] Facebook contacts

I am currently on cm7 rc3 and before I downloaded this I had all my contacts linked to facebook but now when I go to my contacts it shows notes next to there name something like <htc data><facebook>id and alot of numbers. I have tried photo unlocker even dialer one but still does not give me the option to link contacts I also do have the facebook app. In my phone and did the sync setting with facebook and still nothing. When I used photo unlocker it did unlock about 3 contacts pics and facebook info. I just liked seeing all my facebook pics in phone book has anyone else ran into this problem and been able to fix it.
Google stopped the Facebook link in 2.3.3

Not sure how well this would work being CM7 doesn't have HTC Sence but you could try installing the "Facebook for mytouch 1.0" apk thats in the stock T-Mo ROM i know thats the APP for stock that updates the linked contacts. Just make your you backup your everything in case it screw up your rom
Thanks a lot but I downloaded Easy sync and it worked great for syncing my facebook contact's it's a paid app but it was well worth it.

[Q] Turn off Picasa integration in Gallery

Hey all,
Anyone knows a way to disable Picasa integration in the stock gallery? Dont really want it to even cache all my thumbnails as I have 25,000 + photos in my albums...
Ideally I'd like to be able to enable or disable at will, or only show chosen albums; but disabling it completely works too.
Thanks!
Just for the info to anyone who might face a similar problem:
Actually, nevermind, I've switched to JustPictures instead of the stock gallery - it might be not as fancy, but gets the job done, doesnt try to cache 50 albums when you open it and is actually slightly faster when zooming.
I removed Gallery completely from my system. Piece of junk. Using JustPictures now.

Go into Account & Sync and unticked the "Sync Picassa" box.
If for some reason it's still there in your Gallery, go into Applications, manage applications and clear data for "Gallery".

Wow man, first I was gonna say something like 'wtf, do you think I haven't tried that?' but then I realized that my auto-sync has always been OFF.
So, with autosync OFF, Gallery app STILL pulls all your Picasa albums.
Once I've turned it ON, but unticked Picasa checkbox, cleared Gallery data and deleted /sdcard/Android/data/com.android.gallery3d/cache - the Gallery actually stopped trying to cache Picasa albums.
Hope this helps someone, thanks for your reply.
the original gallare has got a "by tag" feature, which works for some photos. I tried to tag few photos in windows or picasa and upload them to Tf and i cant get "by tag" work my test album.
is there any gallery app which handle tags properly? even i can tag or rate photos in it?

Disabling the picture sync doesn't achieve what we think it should. I disabled picture sync, cleared gallery data but the albums were still there in the gallery. I noticed that the Google+ had 13MB of data eventhough I didn't once open it. I deleted the data for google+ which actually removed the albums from the gallery. I wish it was simple and there was a way to sync selected albums. Hope this helps.

[Q] Is there a way to incorporate Picasa

So I was checking out the different cloud services and rolled up on Picasa and how it is Google and was integrated into Android since ver 2.1 and I am rocking Fusion 1.1.5 and noticed that Flikr was in the accounts and sync but not Picasa...Flickr is ehhhh cause you can only upload 350mb a month....so is there a way to get our phones synched up with Picasa??
This would be sweet, but I don't think it's doable yet. Not even an official Picasa app yet AFAIK.
Make a picasa account online with your Google Account and it syncs with your phone.

I did this, but for some reason the phone refused to use my Google Apps account for Picasa. Might have just been a ROM bug (see my sig -- need to update it...lol). It kept attempting to get me to add a new Google account. Maybe I'll futz with it more this weekend after updating my ROM.
Try doing it from a computer

I did...Re-read my last post. After I created an account just trying to setup sync the phone won't let me.
Download the Picasa app onto your PC/Mac, there might be additional steps after setting up an account, if I recall. Then Gallery 3D and HTC Sense's Gallery app should be able to use Picasa. Only Gallery 3D supports uploading, as far as I know though.
