Hi
When I add my Google account to device, I get all my contacts, some of them are with photos (that I updated on their contact).
I also have all the photos in Hi-res on my SD-card, so I can update each one of them and when they call, I can see a big hi-res photo on screen. - that's great.
the problem - when I flash another rom and config Google account again, the photos retrieving from server in LOW-res..
is there an app that can update all my contacts with their hi-res photos? (and use the native call in android screen)
thanks a-lot
Go to contacts.google.com or something like that, delete all contacts, edit all of them on phone, and sync again.

I have my gallery setup to sync stuff with Google Photos. See the screenshot. But it does not appear to sync anything, when I login to my Google account and check Photos, I end up at a Google+ page which has a section 'Photos from my phone', but this has to do with the instant upload feature of Google+ (which I don't use).
Am I overlooking something here? Is Gallery syncing successfully for anyone?
Same here, the gallery doesn't sync photos taken by the camera :/
Ok. Reported an issue at code.google.com.
Noticed the same thing. Only with me the photo albums on Google+ are showing on my phone while I have every option to show this disabled
Ok according to a reply on my issue there the Gallery sync option only syncs Picasa web albums to your phone. For uploading photos to Google, the 'instant upload' setting of Google+ should be used. This puts uploaded photos in a non-public Picasa web album.
Sounds fair enough, but uploaded photo's are resized and compressed. Not exactly a proper backup in my opinion.
You need to enable auto-sync to see the check boxes.

Ok,
First off Picasa is Google+ Photos. If you have anything in Picasa Web Albums it will be in your Google+ Photos under albums. Google+ Photos will eventually replace Picasa
1. You can not send photos to Picasa direct frorm the gallery anymore, most likely a Google+ thing. You can use the Picasa tool in the market do do this if you need to.
For me I have instant upload enabled on Google+, so any picture I snap on my camera gets uploaded to Google+ Photos. It is by default private so its only viewable to me.
I use the Picasa desktop tool to keep my pictures on my computer in sync with Google+ Photos. If I add any albums to my pictures folder it syncs into Google+ Photos as a private album only viewable to me. You can set different options with the tool to either upload the original picture or a compressed picture suitable for web viewing. The cool thing is is that it does not effect my 100GB of space I have with Google.
With this setup I really don't need to be uploading to many albums direct to Picasa from my phone unless someone sends me a photo through email or something. Even if that is the case I have the Picasa tool which works really well with Androids sharing features. I'm sure in the next release Google might add the abillity for the gallery to be able to view Pictures from Google Drive or Drop Box...that would really be sweet.
Galaery not syncing
As of May 27th 2012 my Nexus STOPPED syncing all my photos and I have no idea how to get it to turn back on. I have tried manual sync, turned off the account, back on.. short of removing and then re-adding.... which threatens to remove soo much I use daily... HELP

Yeah same here. I don't even get the "Instant Upload" option in the account sync settings oh my Nexus running Jelly Bean. What gives? This is honestly getting frustrating dealing with Android and all it's tiny little problems that go unnoticed here and there.
Do you mean you don't have these settings?

On vanilla android, there is an option to "make an album available offline". My only assumption that this is for linking to some cloud-storage but what is it talking about? Google Photos? Can you use that with DropBox? Is there a way to use Google Photos without having it sharing with Google+ and what not?
Making an album available offline "should" cache/download selected Google albums to your phone such that they are available even when you in airplane mode. Having said that - all my Google account photos seem to be available, whether I'm on or offline. Also, photos uploaded into Google+ remain private unless you explicitly indicate who you want to share the photo/album to among your Google+ friends/circles.
I've also noticed that my albums whether in Picasaweb or Google+ are available and accessible from either web-app.
Dropbox, from the Dropbox app, has its separate "camera upload" feature to copy your photos to your dropbox folders. Select a private folder to keep your photos private.
But how do you get the pictures to Google Photos? You can't "sync" with DropBox, right, just auto upload? Must you have the photos go to Google+?

hey guys.
on the Evo 3D there was a problem where the Facebook contact pictures wouldn't be accessible outside of Sense. there was a work-around that with a couple of files and a script it would enable the pictures to all 3rd-party software.
I'm having the same problem using Go Launcher now. I tried the same method and no results.
anyone know how to make it happen on this phone?
thanks.
figured about.
Facebook Contact Sync in the market. lets you sync all contacts, even download high res profile pictures and then you can assign those pictures to be the default pictures and they work in 3rd party apps just fine.
I am running liquidsmooth right now and am stuck with the gallery that wont sync with web albums (I find it odd that there is even an option to sync google+ pictures if they wont show up in the gallery). Can somebody help me with the correct apk to get the gallery that will synch with web albums? Also, if I go to the old gallery, will it break the filmstrip capability of the 4.2.2 camera?
This is the one I have been using. I just flash in recovery. It does show me 2 galleries and 2 cameras after. But doesn't bother me.
Try this

Your probably going to have to goto File-Download
Perfect, thanks
When I was using the old phone, Google Photos automatically sort photos into different categories. I can browse photos of specific area like Osaka, Tokyo, Singapore, etc, and I can also browse photos of contains specific contents like foods, animals, etc.
Now it seems that the Google Photos is not doing this on Nokia phone!
Is it that Google Photos needs time or is there any option I need to tick for the new phone?
Thanks...
I am using a new Google account on this phone, and the photos taken already includes vegetables, selfies, and statues, but Google Photos don't classify them.
When I add my old Google account, I do can see the old classifications of the photos backuped on the other phone.
Another thing is... When I search for "vegetable", it does come up with a few photos...
So Google Photos is still doing auto tagging, maybe it just needs more time and more inputs to do classification? Actually many of the tasks are done in server side on Google server?
It seems it really needs time. The photos are classified now. :good:
