Instagram and Facebook - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anyone know how to import your instagram photos to Facebook. I have tried sharing it to Facebook, but it will only give a link. I see that some people can import their pictures to a Facebook album called "instagram photos." Can anyone help?

Its handled by Facebook. Whenever you post to Facebook from the Instagram app, it by default creates an album called "Instagram photos".

Its an app for hipsters.
So chances are, they won't tell you how it works.

Its not, I think its because the galaxy nexus doesn't have Facebook sync support. When I upload a photo, it never appears on my fb account, even though I linked my account.. the same goes with twitter.
Kudos to the person who can find the solution.

Mind sharing how you got it to work? I'm having the same issue...

Haha please elaborate? I must be having a derp moment if it's that easy to figure out...

In the settings under "edit sharing settings" I have it linked to my fb account. However I thought that the photos would automatically upload just like that. But when you upload a new photo, you have to check the fb box, and then upload picture.

Oic... thanks. I thought it was automatic as well

Facebook account sync

I have the Facebook app working fine but when I try to add a Facebook account in the accounts section of settings nothing happens. When I click on the Facebook icon literally nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

Everyone is. There are a LOT of threads on this already. Due to a failure on Facebook's part to properly use the Android Contact APIs, Facebook contact syncing is currently NOT supported.
Well don't I feel stupid. I did do a search but didn't find anything. Thanks for your help. Sorry for the duplicate thread.

No problem; the search function on this and most forums is sorely lacking anyway, at least in my experience.

Just to let you know, you can sync your contacts by getting the friendcaster app or a new app called haxsync which works really well.
Yrs haxsync works awesome

It doesn't work yet on stock ics
So is there any rom that can have this work?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nearly all have a facebook sync option built in
Another option is HaxSync, a paid app that syncs high res facebook photos

I have flasshed a ROM called eagles blood mod, based on 4.03 and i can sync with facebook. However, i cant see the contact pics yet.
Im on aokp and it shows up
The solution in those roms gives low-res pictures though apparently. You might want to look at the Haxsync app on the market.

App to keep pictures backed up?

I wanna have my dcim folder on my phone to stay backed up is there an app to do that?

If you use Google+, then instant upload works great. Dropbox also has its own camera upload feature. It'll upload all the pictures you currently have on your phone to your dropbox and will automatically upload new ones as you take them. Hope this helps!

Oh hmm I may have to make a drop box. Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
No problem!
I just use Google+ for my photo backups. I can delete them anytime I want. Plus if you ever have to reset your phone, your pics will show up in your gallery as soon as you sign in. Waay convenient.

I'd say dropbox is your best bet.
Why not just enable picasa in the gallery, or Google+? They both will automatically send your pics to the cloud. Even in real time as you take new photos.

How do I do that? Like I am apparently horrible at finding settings

I also suggest Google+ since it's integrated with your google account and (personal preference) I like having everything in one place. I've had some issues with dropbox sucking up network time like an bandwidth vampire.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus Question

OK, strange problem. I have a Verizon GN. My gf just got the Sprint version. When she takes pictures or sends them via text, they automatically get uploaded to Picasa I think and Google +. She doesn't remember creating a Google +, but I think the first time you create a Gmail account it does it automatically. The problem is, there are pics that were only meant for me. How do we fix this and delete the pics from google + or google + itself??
Go to settings ...accounts and sync and make sure sync to Google+ is unchecked. As for deleting them, u have to go into Google+ and delete them manually.

Go into Google+ on the phone and disable automatic picture upload.
Go to the G+ app and tell it to not instant upload. While there, delete the ones that have been uploaded already.
The pics are 100% private when instant uploaded though. They will not be shared until you explicitly do so in the app/website.
Tell your GF to give you nudes in person IMO.

I actually figured it out. I didn't think the pics would become public. I ended up just deleting her account and unchecking instant upload. Thanks for your help.
When we break up, Ill post them.

Facebook not syncing photos with contacts

Sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched, which is useless with the xda app and did not find anything. Has anyone else had issue with Facebook contact photos not syncing with contacts in address book?

Did you check the sync settings for facebook and select "sync with contacts"?

Facebook decided it wasn't going to place nice with google anymore and throw up all kind of restrictions on the API to sync contact pictures with Android. Basically it's not even supported with JB so that means you need to use a 3rd party app unfortunately. Don't ask me for sources because I read it somewhere when I was researching why my contact pictures weren't syncing. I just tried to go back and find where I read it but couldn't find it.
Personally, I've been using this app on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
Yeah, I read about Facebook not playing well with JB. I just use Friendcaster to sync contact photos then remembered to un sync it after it drained the battery not allowing the phone to sleep, if you don't un sync it syncs constantly.

Friendcaster doesn't have the option of how often it syncs? The app I recommended does. I have it set to once a day on wifi only. And you can specify how large you want the picture to be. High Quality photos on the N2 is amazing!!!
