So I just got my wife the S3. She is on a limited data plan (aren't we all). She used it for a day and after the first hour, her data usage was nearly 215 mb, all from the GALLERY app! We turned off G+ Instant Upload (had it on wifi only anyway). And we turned off picasa and Google Photo sync. Anything else? THere are NO settings in the gallery app to sync on wifi only like there is on the Nexus. I think turning off photo sync should fix it, but she was on a 200mb plan and went through it all in an hour because of this.

Under your Google account disabling Picasa Web Albums should do the trick. After your disable the sync. Go to Applications>Gallery and clear data.

we just did that. Now will this only show local photos now? On my Nexus, I can see my picasa albums but it only syncs them on wifi. Any setting like that on the S3?

Hi i just purchase a desire a few days ago. I love this phone. It is a refresh from the windows mobile phones i used to have but, using it for a while i have a couple of questions.
First of all, i sync my facebook and gmail accounts and my flickr accounts. At the beginning i det auto sync to off because my nrw carrier and their unlimited data plan doesnt come into effect till july 1st. I would manually sync fb and email. However, after a night and in the morning i can no longer sync. Pressing the buttons doesnt do anything. I even turn on auto sync amd let it sync for everything. Still doesnt work. I have tried removing the widjets and accounts but it still doesnt eork.
I ended up doing a hard and everything works. However, once i turn off auto sync the next day it wouldnt work again. The only theory i have that i have only 10 megs left from installing apps and games. I have the low space indicator. Is this the reason i cant get my gmail or fb updates through friendstream?
Thanks for reading
have you tried to free up some more space or a possible cache clear to see if it sycns when you do it manually? My phone behaves strange when the space is very low
Hello, I have a question about the Gallery on the Nexus Galaxy. Is there a way to delete the "auto synced" albums from google+ and synced photos?
I wanted to use the gallery just for local photos that I take with the phone and that I import onto the phone from my computer, yet for some reason, even after I stopped syncing photos with google+ & synced photos, those stupid albums are still there, AND I cant take them off.
Has anyone found a way to take these off just so you have your camera album and other local only albums?
Thanks!
Mike

Link is not working ,i would like a solution to the problem too.
Picasa web albums. Go there, log in with your Google account and delete the albums
Edit: search picasa on Google. Its not an app
I still want these images on my google+ account, just not on my phone >_< is there a way to do that?
Have you tried to disable photo sync in the account and sync settings?
Yes, I have both that and instant upload turned off. I have also unchecked google+ to mkae sure that it wasnt that... But still after uploading new albums, those stupid picasa (or w/e) albums continue to come onto my phone! It's really annoying and stupid! I don't get why they can't realize that some people dont want all their public photos where their private ones are....
How do I get rid of them? I can't hide or delete. I want them gone for good.
Sign out og your google account and sign back in, go to accounts and click google then uncheck picasa sync before it syncs... Gotta be quick though.

I tried the unsync method. I'll try the signing out.
Tried that and no luck. It was like 1 second and I tried twice. All 200+ pictures were synced within that 1 second.
SOLVED: Unsync Picasa Web Albums then Clear Data. Crap gone!
Disable Picasa syncing first and then go to Apps in System Settings and clear all data for Gallery.
EDIT: Never mind. I see you figured it out, lol.
I updated from ICS to rooted JB using DoomLord's method 2 days ago. Since then, Gmail is syncing only very intermittently.
I have Gmail set to sync in my Google account settings, and also in the actual Gmail app's own account setting section, I don't have Extended Standby Mode enabled.
On the few occasions when I have received an email in the app, I've only found it when opening the app itself, as I've not had a notification.
In previous versions, I'd get a Gmail notification immediately if I sent an email from, say, my work PC. Not anymore, though.
Is anyone else having this problem? Has the push Gmail functionality broken in the JB update?
Nope... My Gmail sync works normally..
Have you enabled "Auto Sync data" option in Data Usage settings..?

Yes, I do have "Auto-sync data" enabled in the Data Usage settings.
This is really annoying. Even when I click the Refresh button in the Gmail app, it does not sync the new emails After doing this, and then going into the Account settings for Google, it shows a really old time for Lasy Sync on Gmail.
Any other ideas, anyone?

Wipe? I backed up my apps and wiped the data then restored using titanium backup. No bug except laggy 1080p video recording.

I tried the same lastnight (albeit using MyBackup Pro), and I'm now getting Gmail syncing and notifying correctly Thanks.
I have activated app-data syncing with my gmail account, but my photos still aren't being synced like they used to before i installed LineageOS.
The gallery app itself does not have any kind of options / settings menu as far as i can see.
It's a hassle to manually upload or share images when i want to share them.
How do i get my photos to sync every time it is on a non-mobile internet connection?
