Does anyone know how to force the camera shots to sync to dropbox? i took some photos earlier when not on WIFI, and now I'm back on WIFI I was expecting them to sync up to dropbox (this is how it normally works). This unfortunately hasn't happened as yet automatically and I wondered if you could manual force it?
Thanks in advance.

i think you need to look in the dropbox app settings for that
The app sync is turned on checked that before posting this :-(

Mine syncs automaticaly even if i don't have wifi and then i have.I mean,just today i was out with some friends after work,took some pictures but there was no wifi at the bar.When i came home i activated the wifi and the sync started automaticaly.The thing is that i never close an app,the dropbox is always opened.Could that be the reason?

Hmmm I guess it could be as I don't tend to leave any Apps open in the background (multitasking). I will try leaving dropbox open in the background as it would make sense I guess that if I close it the sync wont happen. I wouldn't need to leave the camera/gallery open too would I? I imagine I wouldn't.
Thanks for the advice.

Also just realised in the dropbox app I can click the folder with the arrow on the top bar. In there its showing my camera uploads saying 23 left. It says low battery, charge to resume maybe that was also the problem. Maybe it needs to be above a certain % to upload too...
Check your sync times and policies under accounts. If db is not in background services then the sync settings govern upload times

check your battery has a decent level, wont upload with a low battery.

Is there any workaround?
I mean ... it is up to the user to decide if the battery is enough or not for doing something. Let's say you have just shot an important picture but you only have 19% of the battery ... well ... i would prefer to upload that single important picture rather than keeping a couple of % of battery charge.

I am glad that someone shares my thoughts about this feature of the dropbox application. However, the situation is uncaenged; still the same problem. I have noticed that also on the dropbox forum (here: https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=55044) there is a thread dealing with this. Let dropbox devs here your thoughts about this! Maybe they will fix it! :good:
SOLUTION
JUST go to your files and manually share with Dropbox.
It will upload.
Dropbox Full ?
I manually transferred the last video , and only one not to upload , to my comp and added it to Dropbox , then I saw a little red X on the Dropbox tray icon , because that file put me over the limit .

Hi guys,
Does anyone have the issue of photos not updating on the phone with the FB app? My friends change their profile picture on FB but the pix on my phone do not change and or update.
I use HandcentSMS instead of the normal stock and it is annoying to have some contact with no picture (even though they have one) and some with old pix.
Anyone know something about this?
Also what's the difference between the stock FB app and the one on the Market?
Cheers

Okay, so then yes there is a difference. The one in the market is more standalone, the one built in is integrated into the contacts app. The way you can manually link pictures is by going to contacts, opening a contact, and in the upper right hit links, and then select link to facebook profile and it'll come up with a list of your friends.

That is exactly what I did a while back ago; link contacts via the link symbol to FB. My issue is the contact pix not updating when my friends update their profile pix some even show a ? when in fact they do have a pic.
If I select contacts to view my phone list all the pictures that are shown are those that were saved/synced when I first purchased the phone. Since then my friends have changed pix or added one but my phone does not recognize and or sync/update the new images

Ah, yeah they can be glitchy. I have problems on stock and AOSP roms, it's just not very good at keeping them synced. They will eventually. Try clearing your cache, and the app cache for facebook for mytouch.

Since we have today our fully working ICS rom, I would like to share this app
HaxSync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's sync your facebook contacts (Pictures and status updates) with your phone contacts in the same way ICS sync your contacts with google plus (High res contact pictures)
The app it's only 99 cents and IMO it's totally worth it.
BTW: I hold no relationship with the developer of this app, im just a happy customer.
Try it you wont regret.

Is it a built-in feature of ICS? Because for me it only syncs Google+ contacts and completely ignores facebook contacts. Pictures don't come up or anything. Neither do their icons show in Handcent SMS

no, it's built into the official facebook app. I guess that app is included in the skyrocket port. you have to go into facebook settings and choose SYNC.
That said, it looks like my contacts (i use Go Contacts) defaults to sync with google+ before it uses facebook for photos.

Yeah man just go on to the development forums and it should be on the first page. You could also search for it. Instructions are all there. There are a couple of bugs, most notably the auto rotation doesn't work. But other than that it works perfectly for most, including me I would suggest reading the entire thread to gain a little insight into what has been going on and to be a little safer with the installation and all that.... GOOD LUCK!!
When I had my Galaxy Nexus back in December I know there was no Facebook sync available for ICS at the time, I don't know if they've updated it back then.
But you can use Friencaster to sync all your contacts and pictures.
This reminds me though, has anyone else noticed there's no People app? Is that a Nexus only app or just missing?

I have a question, Facebook from the sky rocket ICS port won't let me access the pull down notifications. What I mean is, I'll get a notification, open the pull down in the app, and it shows me what's new but I can't touch it to access it, it does absolutely nothing.
Anyone know of a better app for Facebook?

Hi Folks
i have just reaslised that all the photos that the gallery imported from my facebook & picasa accounts are all jumbled up, they are still in the correct folders but the pictutres are not in the correct order
Can anyone else confirm this is happening to them?, at first i thought it was just the fb photos and was going to remove the account & sign in again to see if that fixed it, then noticed the picasa ones as well, so cant really see it being both accounts having problems, seems more like a phone software problem?
Thanks
Pete
Thats strange. Mine is sorted in alphabetical order. First whats in the phone a-z then facebook a-z. Im using a Custom Rom so dont know if thats the reason.

Hey have you ever tried quickpic?
- It easily replaces the standard gallery in Android...
- Bobo
I encountered this problem first when I upgraded my SGS2 from GB to ICS. The gallery on the Note in JB still doesn't seem to be fixed.
It has to do with the GPS tag. When you have a mix of GPS- and non-GPS-tagged images in your gallery, the sorting goes bananas.
Hope it gets fixed some day... meanwhile you can indeed try another picture viewer instead.

Thanks all for the replies, glad it's not just my phone. I used quickpic before, will give it a try to see if it works but really like the stock gallery so hope they get a fix sorted.

Just tried quickpic but unfortunately it can't display Facebook albums
Which software do you guys use for syncing contact images to facebook? I haven't tried any yet, but I've heard the stock FB app has some problems. Last time I used it (on my ancient Optimus One), it used to sync very low res pics, and it was impossible to reassign images in case of wrong matches.
PS: Also, as a side question, which facebook app do you use?

I quite like Sync.Me
I've been using Haxsync, but it doesn't update properly. Have you guys noticed this at all? When a person changes their picture on facebook I have to manually go into the settings and refresh their image to update it. I've got my phone setup to sync everyday and also on mobile network not only wifi, but this hasn't made any difference. I get the same issue on my Nexus 7.
I personally use haxsync but a friend uses sync.me and both do the job

That only works on the next sync, then the option un-checks itself.
I use friendcast and it works well.. anyone else tried it ?
Okay, I tried HaxSync and Sync.Me
I just can't figure out HaxSync, it doesn't seem to work. It keeps crashing. Seems like a waste of my money.
And Sync.Me seemed just what I wanted, BUT it doesn't put contact pics of some of my contacts for some reason. I can't figure out why. If I remove the link and re link the contact to the same Facebook contact, then I get the pic. Weird bug.
Is there any 3rd decent app for this purpose?

You need to install the haxsync jb fix app once, then open main app bro. Then read the FAQ. I tried other apps like sync.me those are whack they don't update most of my friend's pics and has no manual update option. Haxsync worked perfectly after syncmypix stopped working. The only good alternative is haxsync.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
then again.. friendcaster worked perfectly fine for me as well.
I use HaxSync. It works incredibly well.
After trying the suggestions here (and not working) i started looking for myself and found Facebook Contact Picture Sync on the play store which does everything i need and is also really simple at the same time.
Contact sync https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0. has always worked perfectly for me and of course is free.
At least for me. I loved being able to snap a pic with my big camera, have the EyeFi upload it and sync it to Picasa, and have the picture in my JB stock gallery on the Nexus 4 automatically. The Sony Gallery will pull the Picasa images, but I have to manually tell it to refresh and it takes a LONG time.
Once the image is downloaded I can't share it from there, I have to download it and then go look for it and share it. It also downloads a small version of the image.
I was able to install the stock JB Gallery app but I was missing the components to sync Picasa. Still need to work on fixing that. Anyone use something that would make things better?
I don't know if this will help because it probably is quite obvious to you already, but have you tried using quickpic?

Oh that's not the way it's supposed to look? Haha. I had never used Quick Pic. It looks pretty good, but it doesn't have Picasa integration, so it doesn't add much value here.
I did find that I can pull the Picasa pictures more easily with Google +, but I still have to download them and then share them. It only shares to Google +. At least the resolution of the downloaded images is much better than what the Sony app gets and the pics are already synced when I open the app.
It looks like the Sony gallery does not use the Android sync service and pulls its own version of the images.

They want all of your Photos not only the ones you choose, I mean in case you want to use the sync option, which is (would be) a nice feature.
Would be very easy, I think, to add options like "Folders to sync"...."Folders to show"....and something like that, that makes the User the Owner of the Stuff
But these are Questions like, why we don't get an option to fully Access our Phones "Root" by Clickin......is all about the Money they make by Advertising "non Know Users" and so on....FTI.
