Anyone else use Picasa web albums? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my gs3 in the gallery app it would have all my Picasa albums separated. Now on my gs5 all the pictures are showing in one big group. I'm guessing it's a bug or something but not sure if anyone else uses this and wanted to know if there's any way to change it. I spoke with Samsung and the told me "that software is written by Google", so obviously they are of no help and don't know what they're talking about.

I know picasa is from Google, but the gallery app is obviously written by samsung.
I don't use it for sharing or tagging, I just use it a free cloud for my pictures that integrates right into the gallery app.
If anyone knows of a similar service that works the same or better I'd definitely be willing to switch.

Yes, the gallery app in the s5 doesn't separate the picasa albums, it just puts all the pictures in one group.

ATRIX Gallery Issue

Im having an issue with the "Albums" section of my Gallery. Every time I tap on "Albums" or want to add photos to an album that section force closes and takes me back to Gallery Home.
I have force stopped the service and tried again, I have also re-installed the OS.
Its the latest Orange UK build of Gingerbread.
Many thanks,

Are you rooted and/or unlocked? Have you tried fixing permissions? Have you tried clearing data by going to
[Settings > Applications > Manage applications]
then selecting the "All" tab and find Gallery and "Clear data"?
Is there any possibility the data might have been corrupted? Can you access the photos any other way?

I can access all my photos its literally just the "Albums" section like if I want to add photos. They updated it so that you can also get your Facebook albums. I haven't rooted my device and have also gone to Gallery under all applications and force closed and restarted, still getting the issue.
Is the Quickpic on Marketplace or is it an app on these forums?

QuickPic is in the market. Did you try the "Clear Data" button as well in Manage Applications?

I dont really like how Quickpic makes Albums but its a small thing, only other thing is that it can't retrieve fb albums and automatically upload photos that aren't already online but I can live with that.
I did ask customer services at Motorola and they just told me that my phone was faulty and needed repairs, but that means being without a phone for 2+ weeks.
I would greatly recommend Quickpic if anyone has been having the same problems, Motorola are crap for this issue.
Thanks for every ones help and let's hope this helps many more in the future.

ICS Poor quality contact display picture

Hi guys,
Ive got a nexus s running ICS. The problem I have is that as I keep my contacts sync with gmail, the display picture of the contacts is very poor! some of them are so bad that its difficult to tell who he/she is.
Can anyone please help me fix this problem? I have read some forums and people have commented that this is fixed in ICS but clearly it isnt as I still have the same issue.
Thank you
Saud
There is an app called haxsync on the market. It syncs your Facebook photos to the contacts, and they look great
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
It's caused by syncing with Google contacts. There's nothing you can do aside from syncing with Facebook (which AFAIK, suffers the same problem).

Only way is to add them in manually on a contact by contact basis via gallery.

or you can back-up them by Titanium backup, and then restore. Quality will be the same.

They really do look fantastic but contact pictures that were taken with the camera still look awful
But haxsync really does make a gigantic difference

This is true. If you manually assign contact pictures AFTER your contacts have been synced, they will stay hi res. A PITA, but it works.
an alternative is Friendcaster that has an option that allows the use of high resolution images, it is also best of the original facebook app.
Is there any alternative app for non-facebook users?
I would hope so, but afaik there isn't any.

Gallery app ?

Does anyone know of a good app for the photos? I really do not like the way the gallery is laid out. I have tried a few, but they do not upload directly from the camera.
If you found a good gallery replacement, please post a link.
Thanks in advance! :thumbup::beer:

Love Quickpic, but it has no support for Picasa.
I love QuickPic and use it regularly. I just wish I could find an app that showed gallery in a hirearchial structure. ie. I have pics in several folders by event under a folder 2011, however you don't see the parent folder structure organization, so they aren't as informative. Yes, I know I can embedded the dates in the exif data, but dates were just the easiest example, could also be done for wallpapers based on category, but I dropsync both tablet and phone images on the phone and have same folders under each parent directory.
Haven't found any other app that does this, unless it's a feature I missed in QuickPic or Scalado Album( which is also pretty decent ).

Dropbox?
If you don't have it yet that is a referral link and if you use that to sign up we both get 500mb of space for free. Also dropbox's app seems to work well and you get free space for uploading pictures, up to 3gigs from just uploading photos =D. You can give links out directly from your dropbox so it should work for what you want not sure what else there is for it. *Oh and there is a nice toggle for only uploading while you are in wifi if you want that so save data and it will do it automatically*
I don't think I would pay for a service like dropbox but it is awesome with it being free.

Its "Photos"
They want you to use the Google Photos app...I asked the same question right after launch and got this response here...this apk has worked great for me...
The camera still uses "photos" when you swipe right to see your pics...but at least you will have Moto's gallery as well

Where is the Stock photo Gallery

Just received my Sprint LG V20 today. loving it so far but I don't see a photo gallery, just google photos. Am I missing something ?
Seems like depending on the carrier, some lg apps are missing. Sprint seems to have the most. At&t's model is missing at the least the music app and I'll not sure what else

I believe that opens a google photo gallery, which I am not a fan of sharing photos with.
If you try texting a photo, it sends a link to the photo as an album uploaded somewhere
Ah ok.
I do want to find a new Gallery app though. This one has minimal editing abilities. On my Note 7 I was able to edit more extensively and I could edit videos within the app too.
I side loaded an lg gallery app. The ones in the play store didn't do it for it me.
Here you guys go. =)

Tried sideloading through adb with a no go, and installing like a normal app is no go for me as well. Thank you for your efforts though.
On adb I get install failed invalid apk package couldn't be installed related missing code.
Maybe once the t-mobile guys break in they could give us the apk.
