App to keep pictures backed up?

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

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.

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.

Deleting pics in gallery

I can't figure out how to do it. I know it's easy, but can someone help me out? LOL.

Yeah I totally said the wrong thing. Not from the gallery, but when you have instant upload on and it uploads then to picasa. Sorry for the confusion.
I think you have to do it on the official Picasa website or Google plus.

Yeah this is what I can't figure out. I deleted the Google + account, but they are still showing on the phone in Picasa. I guess Ill try that next.
If you don't wan't your online photos to sync with your device, you can turn off sync via settings (settings -> sync -> Google account -> Google photos/picasa).
If you want to delete the photos, there is a button on google+ or picasa that will let you delete them.
go into the G+ app, or G+ on your computer, or the Picasa website. Sign in, delete the pictures, sign out.
Done.
uncheck google photos sync and then clear cache for gallery
Uncheck syns with google pictures in account settings, then wipe app data in \settings\apps\gallery. Unless you wipe gallery data, the images will shoe in the gallery.

Gallery layout?

Hi everyone. I have searched for this but could not find it anywhere so need to ask. ... I have an issue with my gallery it displays photos on my device and on Google Picasa as default. I want to change it to photos on device only and have done so in the settings but it keeps reverting back every time you leave the gallery and go back in. Does anyone know how to change it permanently so that it only displays photos on device as default?

You don't go to settings to do that.
Open the gallery, press the menu key on your phone and a menu will pop up. Select something like "Select Albums" and from there on you are on your own because I don't have my phone atm.
I went through this today. You have to shut off picasa sync under your google account in the settings menu. Then go to app managment and clear data for the gallery. The picasa stuff is cached so it wont disappear. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to go away.

On my G2 works perfectly Picasa
Isn't it just called photo now ever since Google bought out picasa?

If it's that it's not cool.
On G2 for example, as picasa albums appear in gallery you could set images as wallpaper or other...
Now it's not possible.

Into Google Photo app?
I use multi-photo wallpaper function, and it's not possible. It was on G2 because picasa album appear on gallery
Yes this is a problem and I would love to know why you only have Dropbox and Box to choose from. You can't add any other cloud service.
