So i got fed up with widgets and google voice not showing contact pics. So i removed my facebook and twitter account. But there is still no pictures where before when i would unlink a contact the pic would start working. But none of them work in these apps. I've tried resyncing the google contacts and still no pictures. What can i do short of wiping my phone? thanks

So this what i did to kinda fix the problem.
I noticed when i logged into my facebook account it would start loading up all the pics from my google acount (which is what i want) once it was done with that it started to replace them with facebook images which would make the widgets and google voice go blank again. So i just logged into facebook and waited till most of my pctures showed up then removed the facebook account partway through the sync. Now i have my google contact pictures in voice. Well most of them anyway. I guess it will do for now untill i can figure out a way to manually control these pictures. Damn u motoblur

If the pictures are from facebook they will only show up on your contacts. third party software cannot access facebook data, which is a decision made by facebook. It is not motoblur related.

Ah that makes sense but it doesn't explain my orginal problem that now that i've removed the facebook account none of those apps have any pictures (even though i do have pics with my google account) if i could just get those back and working fully id be happy

Maybe remove your google account and facebook account to try and clear all your contacts. Then re add your google acct and not the facebook account. Im not too sure.
Im not even sure if you can remove the google acct.

Nah i tried removing my google account its the master account and it told me to do a format in the system options. Im almost considering it but i need to get all the apps i want all orginized so it doesn't take me forever to reinstall.
I figure by now someone would have made an app or be a menu in the system for controlling contact pictures. It seems the mtoblur sync for facebook (because the offical facebook account can't be used on the droid x) and once its synced just says its the contact pictures now and doesn't give any option not to turn it off. I really do like the status updates when people call but id rather be able to see contact pictures on my homescreen.

Try syncmypix app
already formated but maybe i'll look at that app this time around for syncing some of my pictures, do you guys know of anyway that I could sign into the facebook moto blur account and not have picture synced? because isn't that the only program that will show me status updates when someone calls?
Hi
I used to be able to sync my pics to Picasa in the gallery and view my Picasa pics with cm mod on my HTC magic. Is there a way I can do this on the DHD? I know you can sync Flickr but I don't use it.
Thanks,
Steve

same here, i use the picsa with the stock rom that come with my nexus, thats work like
cream with the stock gallery, and now i can't, so i use the Picasa in the browser...
It does seem weird that Picasa, a Google product, isn't supported, but Flickr is.
I use Pixelpipe to sync my photos to Picasa.
I was getting the same issue. It appears to be a problem with 2.2, not the handset.
The only way I found of getting around this was to do a hard reset (Settings> SD & Phone Storage > Factory data reset) and skip the Google sign in, then once I was passed all the set up data entry open Market and log in to Google form there.
Since then I can upload to my picasa account no problems.
a hard reset does not erase data on the SD card but it does on the phone so it might be an idea to back up your Apps to first.
i have attacked the Gallery 3d apk which when installed will allow syncing with picasa on desire hd

I tried that before doing the factory reset but it didn't work.
sorry to hear that not sure why it doesn't word on your phone when it works on mine. I have included a screen shot of my google account on my Desire HD after installing the app showing the picasa sync option.

No, I got it working but I had to to doa factory reset and skip signing in to Google in the set up screens. I had the 3d gallery installed before this and I tried it but didn't work. Only reset and signing in to Google via Market got Picasa working for me.
Annoying how random all this can be...

Just thought that id mention that this is avilable in the market, there is also another good app called picasa tool pro (its free).
Gallery3d is simpler to use though.
I was missing Picasa Webalbums sync and icon in the Gallery HTC Desire HD. Synchronization of my gallery and Picasa did not occur.
This was the solution for me :
Go to the app HTC Hub (if not there, add HTC Sense to your Accounts and Synchronization). Then, go to Apps and Plugins. De-select the "Picasa Webalbums" plugin. Reboot. Go back to HTC Hub app and enable the plugin.
Solved.
Anyway to remove the blur "account" page. I see that if I change sims it forces me to login to the existing blur account. What if I want to completely de-blur the phone? Is that possible? Or not because motorola says so?
Not possible. No way to replace with stock accounts.
I am having many problems with these built in accounts. I was having problems with YouTube until I realized that I needed to login with the actual YouTube credentials and not the gmail ones.
I am now having similar problems with picasa, but as I am new to picasa, I don't know what my other logins would be other than my gmail ones. Basically every time I try to upload multiple photos from the gallery folder on the phone, it returns a message that says "failed to receive login information".

Ok more info on picasa. When I "quick upload" a single photo from the gallery they will go to picasa. Its only when I multi select photots and try to upload that it won't take. It still says "unable to retrieve user info" or something. Another note is that when the upload to picasa screen comes up, its not pulling my albums down from the picasa site, so I can tell right away that something isn't communicating the info.

Try installing Gallery 3D from the market. It's the stock gallery app. Much better.
Figured it all out. I HOPE many people end up finding this thread. I went through a lot to figure this out. The following fix will work for both Picasa and YouTube problems where the error pops up saying that login info could not be retrieved. The problem is that you can not use the same email address for motoblur as you do the rest of the logins. You MUST set your motoblur to another email address when setting the phone up, preferably a non-gmail address. Unfortuantely for those of us who already setup the phone, the only way to change the motoblur email address is to wipe the phone and set everything up again.
I can confirm that this is 100% working. Now... If you don't want to setup the phone from scratch I can show you work arounds.
For YouTube, if you go into the YouTube app, hit menu, go to "my channel" (make sure the phone is not in landscape when you do this) then look at the top right and click logout. Then log back in, instead of putting your gmail address you can enter your YouTube user name and password. This will allow you to upload videos directly from the UI and gallery to YouTube.
A work around for Picasa is to set Picasa as the option in the "quick upload" menu in Gallery. If you go to gallery and click menu, then settings, you can set Picasa as quick upload there. Then whenever you are looking at a photo you can click menu and select quick upload, it will then upload straight to Picasa. The only problem is that you can not select multiple pictures and upload at once to Picasa. You have to do the real fix mentioned above to send multiple pictures to Picasa at once.
I reccommend you all do the real fix while the phone is still new and not that hard to wipe and start over.
Apparently it is possible, NO IDEA how i did it though D:
now when i take sim cards out it doesn't ask for motoblur account. Some reason I also lost all my contacts, don't know if it was because I lost my motoblur account or if it was a coincidence?

Hmm I'm not sure that this is a good thing lol. Try your best to re add the motoblur account, preferably under a different email address. If it works, this will be the best fix.

LOL... dont mean to insult you intelligence or anything but in the accounts screen did you hit the menu button to add a new account? I know I myself over look the simple answers all the time if that doesnt work attempt a factory reset since youve lost everything anyways lol and if all else fails you can always flash SBF to start over.

clicking "add account" just gives me the option to link fb, myspace, twitter, etc. with motoblur, no option to add a motoblur account. And i didnt really lose EVERYTHING, just my contacts, I can just put them back in manually, its coo.

Wipe it and start from scratch using my method posted earlier, just make sure to NOT use a gmail address for the motoblur email.
Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

If you freeze items through TiBU this happens. You can remove the need for MotoBlur that way. But to go non-root there is no way to remove MotoBlur.
Also, I have no issues and I have MotoBlur on same email as everything else.

Bet you can't select multiple photos from the stock gallery app and upload directly to picasa.

Boy im glad I read this post. I went and got gallery 3D. Now THAT is a stock app. It makes the moto one look horrible. The zooming is actually smooth.
Are there any other stock apps I should check out that would be better than what I have on the phone right now? Thanks

So I was checking out the different cloud services and rolled up on Picasa and how it is Google and was integrated into Android since ver 2.1 and I am rocking Fusion 1.1.5 and noticed that Flikr was in the accounts and sync but not Picasa...Flickr is ehhhh cause you can only upload 350mb a month....so is there a way to get our phones synched up with Picasa??
This would be sweet, but I don't think it's doable yet. Not even an official Picasa app yet AFAIK.
Make a picasa account online with your Google Account and it syncs with your phone.

I did this, but for some reason the phone refused to use my Google Apps account for Picasa. Might have just been a ROM bug (see my sig -- need to update it...lol). It kept attempting to get me to add a new Google account. Maybe I'll futz with it more this weekend after updating my ROM.
Try doing it from a computer

I did...Re-read my last post. After I created an account just trying to setup sync the phone won't let me.
Download the Picasa app onto your PC/Mac, there might be additional steps after setting up an account, if I recall. Then Gallery 3D and HTC Sense's Gallery app should be able to use Picasa. Only Gallery 3D supports uploading, as far as I know though.
