Seems that if I select more than one picture in the gallery my social networking options disappear when hitting "Share." Is this an Android bug? I'm rocking with CM 6.1

just tried three pics to my picasa.... maybe fishbook has a limit. no prob.
i learned apps wont let you upload into themselves.. for ex.. picasa disappears if the pictures are originating from picasa....or
try pixelpipe. It has taken me a looooong timme to figure out this 3D gallery
Appears Facebook has a limit. It'd be nice to upload a lot of pictures at once... I'll just mount my SD Card.
I don't know Fb had a limit but I wondered this too as I tried to upload from my phone and had to do one by one.. couldn't even do two

I tried searching this forum as well as Google and cannot find the answer to this question.
How do I sync my Facebook contacts pictures with my contacts? I'm coming from an HTC EVO which was very simple to do. I can't figure it out on the S2 though. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
App syncmypix. Free in the market.
From Facebook app go to settings scroll all the way down and sync contacts. Or set up your fb thru social hub and check off the option to sync contacts.

I had the same problem. HTC adds notes to each contact. Once your in your contacts list, hold each contact till the edit shows. Once in edit, see if their Facebook account shows. If it does, just delete your original pic and save. Facebook pix well take over. Hope this helps.
BTW, don't use social hub!

Tried syncing contacts with Facebook already. Doesn't bring the pictures. Sucks that we would need an external app for this...
For syncmypix, do I have to keep updating it whenever my contacts change their pictures?

What's wrong with social hub? Social hub does a better job at displaying the pictures. The FB app shows the pictures like if they were zoomed in. I like the way social hub displays them better than the FB app.

Facebook app used to update the contact pics in my phone too. After an update, it stopped syncing them. I had read in a post somewhere that it was blocked for some reason?

My FB app wasn't syncing either after I started restoring with titanium backup. It would always have the old pics while my media hub showed the updated pics. Then I just logged out of the app recently and logged back in. It syncs after that. So try logging out and see if that helps..

Mornin' Ray,
Gave it a shot and nope - photos still don't sync like they used to. One of the free apps on market did sync them, so I was assured it is still possible. Removed the app and it reverted to the placeholder images.
Seconded for Syncmypix. It is quick easy and you can schedule it.
To set the FB profile pic as the contact pic I had to go into each contact, hit menu and then mark as default. The first option is for what to use for the caller ID. Chose FB and saved. A lot more complex than my Evo 3D that just did it on it's own, but whatever this method worked. Before I did that it was showing each contact with the default pic saved in my Gmail contacts.

Hmm that's weird. I just checked mine and saw that one of my friends who recently updated her pic it still shows the old pic thru the FB app sync but its updated on the social hub sync. I guess that's why I'm not really having an issue this phone chooses the pics on social hub by default. I would say try a third party app if you don't feel like setting up social hub..

OK, so I tried manually syncing contacts, I tried logging out and logging back in, all with no results. I even tried uninstalling the app, then downloading it again. This did not fix any of the pictures, however now when I edit my contacts I can see that they are linked with them on facebook, this wasn't there before. There is also a phone and facebook tab on top when I edit them, so this must be some kind of progress. Under the facebook tab, there is an error that reads: "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" what does this mean?
Lastly, I tried using syncmypix, but it only works for some contacts. For the others it says "contact is read only"
Anyone with any ideas?
Go to your setting from phone home screen...look for accounts and sync. From there look for facebook. tap on facebook and sync all contacts. That should work.

Tried the above mentioned method before, and again today... still no added contact pictures.
Like I said, I have pictures for some, but most do not. When I go to that contact, it is in fact linked with that persons Facebook account, but does not show the picture... For all of those people whos picture does not show, when I click on edit contact and then go to the Facebook tab, there is an error that reads, "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" Does anyone know what this error means, and how I can go about correcting it?
This works for adding pics but how do you make Facebook the default pic...

Once contacts are joined click on the contact hit menu and select mark as default. There should be a list right at the top with a circle to select for whatever account you want as default. Like i've been saying media hub by default when accounts are linked it makes your FB pics the default unless you have one saved under the contacts main contact profile. The FB app syncs the contacts but it won't make the pics default unless you manually choose it...
To be perfectly honest the FB app's syncing sucks really bad. Once it syncs for the first time it will never update again. And when some people put full body shots their heads are cut off. This is why I rely on media hub for my FB syncing needs..

I tried to upload 9 photos to Facebook yesterday with HTC Sense via gallery and it said it completed but when I went to Facebook App no photos were there. There is a album there with 0 photos and a thumbnail but when you click on it nothing!
Sorry if this has been asked before but I used GoogleFu but couldnt find a solution.
I have uploaded 1 photo a couple of times over last month and those worked.
I'm confused why it says uploaded but nothing.
The strange thing is when I got to gallery and select album top left then Facebook and then me, the album and photos are there!!
Anyone found a fix??

Same problem, found the solution
Hey, I had the same problem last week. I was uploading pictures to a specific facebook album of mine and it wasnt showing up on facebook.
You're gonna need to connect to Facebook from your PC, go to the specific album and you'll see on the top a mention saying something like (An app tried uploading pictures to your album, allow it or deny it) & it'll work!!
Let me know!
Don't forget to thanks!

Hi
So I have an s3 and my girlfriend just got hers today... 2 questions.
1) on mine I'm pretty sure since as soon as I set it up. The gallery had had all my Facebook albums in it. Hers doesn't. How did I make them appear in there? I can't seem to find an option for that...
2) on her gallery, any pics in albums marked as instant upload (which have pics from her old android phone that were obviously synced with instant upload) come up with errors if she tries to edit them with either photo editor or instagram or any other photo app. The apps have no problem with new pics taken with the phone. It kind of makes sense that these apps wouldn't be able to edit pics not technically on the phone, but mine does it with no problem.
She just got he phone like 2 hours ago... any ideas?
Thanks

I went to Facebook and there is no option about syncing photo albums... It just did it automatically on my phone. I'm thinking MAYBE it was a feature of Friendcaster though? Which automatically reinstalled from my play account when i bought my phone even though I had no intention of using it (I had it on an old phone)... But yea I see no option in the regular Facebook app about syncing photo albums, just contacts...
Also my other question, there are like 5 "Instant Upload" albums with the picasa logo next to them of old pictures taken on her old phone. They're all viewable but you can't edit the pictures in them using any of the photo editor apps. It's like they're not really there other than for viewing.
I'm frustrated by all the crap in my gallery. I don't want to disabled dropbox/facebook SYNC but I don't want anything but camera pictures and downloaded images in my gallery. I tried disabling the gallery options on a per application basis in facebook and dropbox, cleared my gallery data and cache but they are still there.. I ended up deleting some irreplaceable images FROM THE DROPBOX SERVER in an attempt to remove it from my phone... terrible, terrible design Google/Samsung whoever. How do I solve this? Is there a temporary dropbox deleted folder so I can recover those?
Secondly I'm used to my evo where sense would automatically replace a mispelled word after I click space. Here, I have to select the right wprd or it just continues on (and adds the mispelled word, lile now I have "lile", "wprd", and "autp" in m6 dictionary. And "m6"....)

Sorry to hear you're having such an uncomfortable OEM swap. The only thing I can suggest is that you download alternative keyboards and galleries and try them. I have looked for settings that would help you but there are none.
QuickPic is a good alternative to the stock gallery. If you long press folders you can choose to "ignore" them. I think you can even hide folders or have the password protected. I use a keyboard called messagease which has probably the worst text prediction ever (at present) but allows me to write faster and more acurately than any other I have tried. You may want to try Swiftkey, the new 4.2 android keyboard or even keymonk. I think swiftykey lets you choose wether a "space" enters the predicted/correctly spelt word.
Good luck
Under /settings/personal/cloud dropbox disable sync of pictures and video and they will no longer show up in your gallery. I'm not sure on the Facebook one. You will still have all of your other options for dropbox under accounts and sync.

Hi, if anyone can help with my issue id really appreciate it.
ITS DRIVING ME NUTS
I believe this issue not to be specific to the HTC One but Ive never had it before.
The issue is that I keep getting random photo albums appearing in my gallery.
The photos look to be cached images, say from apps and that sort of things.
Everytime i go in and delete them and check back later, I have more.
Ive searched Google and cant find a solution.

That would drive me nuts... My gallery just crashes all the time after rooting and applying one of the roms
I had this problem too. Only way I could solve it was to press menu button at the gallery home screen and select show/hide albums. Select the ones you want to display and return to gallery.

Install quickpic from the play store and "hide" the folders with the offending images in.
They are usually from apps that have images in them.,
Once hidden in quickpic they will not appear in gallery
Just hide the album like duvall87 mentioned.
That's the only way.

I have the same issue this Cache folder keeps coming back and most frustrating part is that all these photos are uploaded to G+.
I have another issue as well with SD card. I delete files from External SD card and it keeps coming back this happens only when I copy some files from my PC to SD Card.
Anyone has any solution to this?

I just delete them every time but maybe this helps
settings---account/synchronise---google---( click your gmail account)---
when in your google account it says in syncs data from
-agenda
-apps
-automatic back-up
-chrome
-contacts-
-drive
-gmail
-google...
-...
-....
experiment with unchecking some of these like uncheck the syncs app data of chrome
If fixed it with installing ES file explorer and added .nomedia file to android/data/
Rebooted device and everything seems to work like it should...
No cache files in gallery
hopefully a fix
