As soon as you sign into your google account it syncs everything. When I uncheck the "sync google photos" The photos are still in the gallery. I restart the phone and press refresh but they are still in the gallery.
Anyway to get rid of this? other than going into picasa and deleting the photos from my PC
Still cant fix this. Am I the only one with this problem?
I had the same issue yesterday, doing a quick Google search brought me to XDA.
1. Make sure your "Google photos" option in "Accounts and Sync" is unchecked.
2. Go to Settings > apps > All Apps > Gallery. Now hit the "Clear data" button
3. Go to Settings > apps > All Apps > Google+. Now hit the "Clear data" button
4. Go to the Gallery app and hit the menu key and refresh.
5. Your albums won't go away immediately. Patience.
That's how it worked for me.
Another thing; ensure your google+ settings have auto instant upload unchecked.

You are a beautiful person.
Thank you so much, this works like a charm!

or remove googlegallery, google+ & co. and use quickpic or something instead.

I've seen references to this posted elsewhere, but never a solution. I'd like to only sync the "my contacts" group of contacts from my gmail (really google apps, but should work the same) account, rather than "all contacts". I can not find an option to change this. Any suggestions?
You can go to Contacts and hit Menu -> Display Options -> Google -> Check any groups you want. At least those are the exact instructions for AOSP contacts. It may be slightly different for the HTC contacts, but it should be close enough.
That doesn't work, at least for me. There is no "contacts" section on the EVO, only "people". In "people", pressing menu does not bring up a "display options" option. The only thing similar is "view", but that does not give the option to choose to only sync "my contacts" instead of "all contacts".

just go to People then hit Manu and there is a View option, there you can chose with contacts you want to display.
I don't think that solves it either. This has been a major sore spot since HTC removed the option to sync only certain groups in 2.1. It was a horrible decision and HTC won't respond to the numerous complaints about it.
All you can do is narrow down the number of contacts by going to the People app and doing the following: Menu > View > select "Only contacts with phone numbers" and only "Google"

That does not solve the problem. See my previous reply.

any news on this? I didn't want to start a new thread even though I have a HCT Desire. I'm really happy that gmail syncs the contacts so that I can't loose any, but I would like to sync only one specific group.. not all of them..
thx.
If you go into your Gmail account on the computer you will see a contact tab on the right. than you can create or sync whatever you want.
Google Calendar will not sync,first noticed the problem with shared calendars not showing,deleted data and cache and now no calendar will show up on the widget,first time problems with this,any ideas?
Now will only show facebook calendar
No one ? Factory reset it is then.
open the calendar, hit Menu > more > calendars and make sure that the boxes for 'sync' and 'view' (the little eye icon) are both checked on the calendars you wanna see.

Thanks for the response but Im using Unity and I think the Calendar app is different as I cannot navigate your suggestion,done a factory reset and have got my calendar back but no joy with shared g calendars,still dont know why stopped working,going to try resharing and see if that fixes it.
Ok, so I'm sick o my picasa albums showing up in my gallery. And under accounts and sync I turned of the picasa syncing as well but they are still there.
Is there a way to remove them? I also tried to delete the google account off my phone then re add it and quickly uncheck the picasa web album sync but I can't be fast enough haha.
I know there's a solution! Help me!
Thanks!
Go into Accounts & Settings -> Your Gmail -> Uncheck Picasa Sync [you already did this].
Go into apps and find gallery. Clear cache and data.
Reopen gallery, you're good to go.
This should work:
- Settings / Accounts & sync / your google account / uncheck Sync Google Photos
Then:
- Settings / Apps / All / Gallery / Clear data, then Force Stop
just tried both of those things didn't work

Same for me...
can anyone offer some help here?
Yep,
Go to Apps and click on Google+
Click on uninstall updates.
Go to Accounts and Sync and check if Sync Google Photos is ticked or even present. Make sure it isn't.
(If you're using google+ continue reading)
Go to the Google+ app
Log in but make sure you do not choose Instant Upload
After logging into the app, go to setting and double check if the Instant Upload setting aren't ticked. Then go the Account and Sync and check there as well if Sync Google Photos isn't ticked.
Go to Gallery to confirm the Picasa albums are gone.
When I first got my phone in the stock browser I could create bookmarks and store them either locally or on my google account. After soft bricking and restoring everything to stock i now have only local bookmarks. Everything else about my phone works fine, including all google account sync except for bookmarks.
Anyone else had this problem?
Anyone fixed it?

I had a hell of a time to get the bookmarks to sync, when it finally did it didn't work right and only synced some. I ended up fixing it by installing Chrome. I don't really use Chrome, but bookmarks now properly sync for the stock browser...
Clear data for the stock browser (Settings > Application manager > Scroll to the "All" tab > select the Internet app > hit "Clear data").
Then, under your Google account settings un-check "Internet", perform a sync, then check "Internet" again and let it pull the bookmarks.
This should hopefully take care of it.
I don't see a setting for "internet" anywhere in my google account settings. Would you mind clarifying? Thanks for the help

I have the stock rom and for some reason my photos are being synced from my old phone and some from fb. I do have some photos that got sync that I do not want on there if you know what I mean but I can't remove them and for some reason there synced photos. Can't figure out how to remove them.

Go to System Settings > Accounts, then choose your google account and uncheck "google photos" or "web albums". Then go System Settings> Apps go to ALL tab, tap on Gallery then force stop, clear data and last clear cache (don't worry about your photos being deleted), then open the gallery app and hopefully your problem is solved. I had this problem with picasa web albums syncing photos and also I could not delete them
Hope it helps!
