What did you expect it to do? Download them fresh every time and hold them in program memory so you've got no space to run the OS?
well i only wanted some picture for my favorite contact and link them to their facebook account
didnt want 2000 profile picture and infos on my phone !

Unfortunately, that's what linking gets you...
damn that sux.cant store it into SD at least?
I have just tried to re-sync my facebook contacts with my htc desire (previously had them on but wiped them all because I was annoyed about seeing people who i never wanted to phone in my phone list)
But now it just keeps on coming up with "process has stopped" error after I do it and doesn't seem to sync?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Why can't android just have a system where you individually link each contact in your people list with a facebook account??
I'd say add their photos manually to your google account (but unfortunately you'll face the bug of low quality images). Or create a fresh Facebook account for your favorites

You can individually connect/disconnect contacts in your phone/ google with their facebook accounts if you use Facebook for HTC Sense, with the "link" icon on the top-right corner or the Sync Tab in the contact details card. Then uncheck Facebook in People>Menu>View
Whenever I try to link a contact with Facebook, it comes up with no matches found, like I dont have my facebook linked to my phone.
As i said, when I try to sync my facebook contacts the phone says the process has had to be stopped running (error message)

If it's not a problem for you do a factory reset.
On another note, if you just signed into your facebook account, wait a bit as sometimes it takes time to sync, especially with many facebook friends.
a factory reset doesn't delete anything on my sd card does it, just my downloaded apps and contacts/accounts etc?
Can i back stuff up before I do it?

No it doesn't.
What stuff do you want to backup? The phone system, built-in backup should restore your messages, bookmarks and personal settings.
You can find that in Settings>Privacy

Nexus Gallery help

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....

[Q] How NOT to sync picasa albums to phone

So, I have a peculiar issue with my S3. When I add a google account, it asks me what all I want to sync to my phone (calendar, gmail, picasa albums etc.) and I have unchecked the picasa and google photos box there. Still, when I open the gallery, I see all my picasa albums there. Is there a way some different way to stop the phone from syncing the picasa albums? This is happening with my 3 different google accounts. I only want the gallery to have local pictures and not the ones associated with my gmail account. Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.
I too hate this... and there is no way to stop default gallery app from syncing... even with sync disabled in settings.
1. Get an app like TiBu that can freeze apps.
2. Freeze Gallery app and unfreeze it only when you need to change lock screen image.
3. Install some app like QuickPic to replace gallery.
There is a process call Picasa Uploader. Try freezing it and see if that helps. Am not sure on this though.
Even after not choosing to sync photos from your google account, somehow it still shows in your gallery.
Here's the fix for this.
Setup your Google account with photos not checked to sync (as u know even after this, photos still shows in gallery).
Then go to "Application Manager", "All", in "Gallery", choose "Clear data".
This will clean the thumbnails, not your actual photos. If you chose to uncheck photo sync from Google, it will not appear again. Must be a bug with the OS synching with google. Hope this helps.

additionally, (depending on your rom) you can go into your gallery, hit menu and select what photos/albums you want showing up there. you should be able to select just the albums on the device.

Doesn't help. Relaunch app, and they will pop up again.

make sure sync for the picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the clear data button. next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the picasa albums should finally be gone.

That worked like a charm. Thanks!
I actually don't mind this but it is annoying that it scans every folder for pictures. I end up seeing random album art in mine. Is there way to stop that?

throw a .nomedia file in the folders you don't want showing up in your gallery.

Picasa Pictures in Gallery

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.

[Q] Picasa

Does anyone know how to un sync or at least get the Picasa pictures to show on my phone?
My s3 recently upgraded to 4.3 and there's now an empty album inside my gallery. I can't delete it or get pictures to show.. I followed steps online where I ho to account settings but since the update to 4.3 I can't seem to check which parts of my Google account I want to sync. I have tried manually syncing Picasa but the photos still won't show..

make sure your sync is turned on (in the pull down notifications menu). Then go to settings, click on the accounts tab, click google acct, then click your gmail address at the top. You should now see a list of things that will sync, along with check boxes to give you the option to sync that item or not. Google photos should be on that list
then be sure to leave the sync on and go back into gallery to see if they show up. After they do, you can turn sync off.
