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.

Thanks for the reply, are you talking about the album's? If so then mine is the same, but if I go into an album the pictures are not in the correct order as they are when I look at them within Facebook.

Hey have you ever tried quickpic?
- It easily replaces the standard gallery in Android...

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

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.

I guess it is a glitch because I clear the cache's often and there is no change
I've reported it to FB as if they actually did something about these issues...

Yeah, the Facebook app does have problems with keeping the contact pictures synced. I've had a better time getting them to update when I use Cyanoginger 1.1 though, maybe its worth a try?
All has been working fine on my EVO4G running MIKG 3.1 until tonight... I looked at the phone and it said it found some contact links. they looked like ones I had already linked but I linked them again. Now, some of the contacts (ones that need to be relinked), show a blank facebook contact photo. Just the generic silhouette of the face. I unlinked and re-linked and re-sync'd the contacts.. nothing.. some are fine and show the contact photo with the facebook symbol. I checked on my PC to see if maybe the person removed their photo, but it is there.
Any ideas????
Anyone? I just tried syncing using Facebook app. Same issue. some contracts pulled photos and others not. Ideas?

Hey,
in order to get your contact photos to sync you need to use htc sense the app wont do anything man, and if that doesnt work it might be a glitch so try wiping your cache dalvik and flashing the rom again. let me know if it works, but that just might be a bug between your evo and the rom bro,

The app does sync. It adds to my accounts and sync. The app filled in some missing photos which Facebook for sense left blank. I read elsewhere that others have this issue too...

You can try using the app SyncMyPix (I think it's all one word like that, could be wrong). I used it in the past when I had issues on CM7 with Facebook contacts.

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.

whats different between this and the official facebook app sync feature?
i thought you were going to say Chrome browser as the must have app
why pay .99 cents when this feature is already free?...

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?

Did I miss a memo?
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?

Under settings and accounts, tap the account to choose which items get synced; Picasa is one of them.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
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.

Someone over at Android Central pushed out the stock Nexus Gallery/Camera app from the new Samsung/HTC Nexus-ified devices. I just installed it and it works perfectly on my C6506, and Google+ Photos/Picasa is working like a charm. Gotta say I love the stock Nexus Gallery.
Give it a go.

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.
We are all buying industrial Money making Machines for a lot of Bucks....because we love Tech!
