I don't know what happened here, but I'll try to explain. I guess it happened after I recently updated to 4.2.2. Suddenly the online albums in my Gallery app are all whacked.
1) The Instant Upload album says 0 items.
2) There are dozens of albums named after dates, for example "2012/11/10 -" or "2012/10/23"
In that first example the hyphen wasn't a type-o. It's actually in the album name.
3) All of the albums with dates as a name don't exist on Google Plus! I deleted every online album in Google Plus from the website and/or with the Picasa desktop client. I have NO online albums, but they still show in the gallery (and you can't delete an online album from the phone).
4) The albums with date names seem to be albums that used to have names that I gave them (they changed somehow).
5) If I use Picasa and click "import from google plus albums" it shows me all of the date name albums, but again, if I look on the G+ website there ARE NO albums.
What happened and how can I fix it?
EDIT: I found these phantom albums in the old Picasa Web that still exists at https://picasaweb.google.com/home
Now have to figure out if I already have the pics in other albums. Pain in my ass.

[RESOLVED] Albums appearing as "www.albumAlbums appearing as "www.albumcoverurl.com"
Hi Folks
Many of my music albums are appearing in the HTC Music player album list as "www.albumcoverurl.com" and not the name of the album, however the majority of the albums are appearing correctly named.
Can anyone tell me how to correct these album names?
The file structure for each album is:
[sdcard]/media/audio/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/<Songs>.mp3
Nowhere in my file structure can I find any reference to "www.albumcoverurl.com".
Many thanks!
look in your ID3 tags for those files. I bet it's in there somewhere.....
[RESOLVED] Albums appearing as "www.albumcoverurl.com"
Hello,
I fixed the problem! I thought all my music was MP3 but it turns out these were WMAs. I re-encoded them as MP3s and checked all the tags as rhedgehog suggested and all is now good.
Thanks!
Hello there,
has anyone tried this and uploaded some photos to facebook?
I tried it and it created the album which I chose. But then it put only the first picture in that album and the rest in mobile uploads album. And right before the last picture it stopped working and it had to be closed.
I have used it to upload photos to a specific photo album on Facebook without problem. I used the Gallery app, clicked share, then facebook for htc sense, then it let me choose the album and voila.
I did each picture individually, but I don't mind that, because I like to sort them as I upload anyhow.
So I wanted to share my photos in Gallery on Picasa, but the catch is that I want to share them in a album which is shared with me along with upload rights.
Well I could not see any list of existing albums in the drop down.
Secondly I have another google account configured in the device, but even that account is not visible in the account dropdown while trying to share the photo with picasa.
Hop you understood my issue.
Any helpers?
I have 2 random photo albums in my gallery which I can't delete. Instant uploads and scrapbook photos. I don't want these. 1 has a random photo in it I never took and the other is empty. How can I delete them, I can't find a way to delete! Most annoying!

Hello,
Instant uploads is the photo album created by Google+ and I must say it's pretty decent. It uploads (if you agree at the setup) your pics to G+ and stores them for you. No one can see them, you have to decide if you want to publish them. You can delete it from G+ account on your PC (haven't tried from mobile).
Second one is either another G+ photo album, or one from Picasa? Try Picasa Web Albums to see if it's there.

Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a strange question, but it's been bugging me for days.
I use Picasa and Google+ to organise my thousands of photos.
When I take photos on my camera, I'll upload them onto my laptop, organise them in Picasa and then sync to web so that the album appears as a Google+ album. If I then later add any photos from my phone to the album (auto-uploaded from my Nexus 4) they automatically get synced to my Picasa album on my laptop. Everything works perfectly.
However, should I create a Google+ album directly from my auto-uploaded photos from my Nexus 4 i.e. I don't have any photos on my camera so don't use Picasa to organise anything. How do I get the new album to sync to Picasa so I can view it on my laptop and see it with the rest of my photos offline?
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!
