What is this crazy thing that YOU CAN'T TURN OFF?????
For the last few days I have been downloading hundreds of pictures from my Google Drive and meticulously sorting them in my gallery, only to find them all missing when I wake up in the morning. Is Smart Cleaning to blame?
I should mention the photos aren't just missing from the gallery, as I checked the file explorer before and after. They're gone from the phone.
Sounds like that might be the culprit.
What categories did you choose to let Smart Cleaning attack?
In the stuff I read, there's a way to turn it on and off as well as select various categories (like RAW photo files).
I haven't opened the smart cleaning app yet.
Wow! They watered that thing down from the V20. So far, I've not noticed any photos disappearing and I've been taking A LOT of them.

I never actively used it. I just wake up every morning and the pictures are gone. Only the ones downloaded from Google Drive, not ones I've taken with the camera or downloaded from the internet.
I can't uncheck anything or turn it off, look.

Photos I take aren't disappearing. Only ones I download from my Google Drive.
Please someone try downloading pics from Google Drive and see if it happens to them, I'd appreciate it.
It will take a full day to see tho

I yanked one down out of my Drive. We'll see what happens/where it goes. I suspect Smart Cleaning is an overnight thing.

I tried downloading the pictures off Drive on a computer and loading them onto my phone via USB, and it worked. Still have the pics this morning. That's a relief, but I'm still curious about the issue though.

Thanks for the reminder. I looked and the photo I downloaded from Drive is still there but I want to check again this afternoon to make sure it isn't a 24 hour thing. I should probably also check tomorrow too I suppose.

It was never a 24-hour thing for me. Always happened overnight. Shame to hear it's just a problem for me, but thanks for helping me confirm.

Ah, ok. It doesn't seem to be happening to me. I'll check again tomorrow morning but it sounds like that's not what's happening for me. One thing to check is your clean up settings in Google Photos and Drive. I accidentally blundered across that when I was seeing what options are available when long pressing app icons on my home screen. If some sort of clean up is active in those apps, it might delete on device photos if they are already in the cloud.

Last night once we got the JB update, I took the liberty of going to each one of my of my contacts facebook, saving a high res picture of them and then adding it to their contact profile in my phone from the SD card. I'm that guy that has to have good looking pictures for everyone when they call.
With ICS we got a bump in contact icon size. However when you switch roms and your contacts get sync'd to the new rom, their icons are blurry and low res like hell. This was supposedly fixed in Jellybean. So as I stated above I took the time (almost 3 hours actually) to update some 200 contacts.
I just want to let you guys know, don't waste your time, it's not fixed rofl. Googles contact sync feature still completely decimates high res pictures into 3x3 pixelated bogus.
That is all. -___-
All of mine are high res....just dont be in a hurry to sync everything or they will look like crap...Ive tested this with several installs...set up your google contacts when you first boot, nothing else...give the rom time to settle, especially let the sync icon stop..do your google play, whatever while you wait....then setup facebook with "existing contacts"...give it a bit to run and you should have high res contatcs..

I did exactly that when I discovered they didn't sync in high resolution. I did a factory format and started over and they still synced in low res quality.
Thats odd, cause Im sitting here looking at mine and there is a huge difference from ICS....Last night when I only set up Google then played around for awhile I noticed how great they looked...today when I reinstalled and rushed through the setup they looked horrible...reinstalled again and took my time and they look great again....

This pic looked horrible on ICS....(sorry about the dog as a example )
If you want proper hi-res contact photos, use a real JB ROM like CyanogenMod or an AOSP ROM. Contact photos will always be hi-res once you update the photo to a hi-res one.

How they look after being synced
How they look after re-adding the photo after sycing is 100% finished
See what I'm saying? It's doing butchering the contact icons. I'm not sure how you're getting them to sync properly but I've added the pics from the contact app and also at google.com/contacts @[email protected]
Wow, not getting that on mine...sorry dude.....are you stuck on 3g only maybe?? I dunno...Ive got 4g and thats the only other thing I can think of, amount of data downloading...

I uploaded them through both my phone and google.com/contacts, which is where they're pulled from for syncing. You'd think high res icons at the source = high res icons at the destination but I'm not seeing it lol.
New contact photos look sexy. thanks htc!

you guys should really get hax-sync
its an app that lets you use proper photos from FB and syncs them to the contacts, although google has talked about this before and there is a fix in the works but dont expect it until key lime pie

While Facebook sync is a great option for people who aren't picky about their contact icons, a lot of my friends have pictures of them kissing their girlfriends, or blowing out clouds of smoke or have profile pictures that aren't even them. I'm just confused to why google has said this is fixed, when it is not. I've done a factory wipe multiple times now and cannot get the high resolution pictures to stay high res once synced. Only way to do it is to manually set the picture phone side, and not google side.
If I back up my contacts through Titanium Back up with the high resolution icons, that theoretically would preserve everything, correct?

If you're having issues just use Haxsync like mentioned above..I always used Haxsync but since upgrading to JB all of my photos are Hig Resolution already even after syncing(its even pulling high rez photos from my facebook contacts) So i've yet to re install Haxsync.

It is fixed. If you sync from facebook, go to your people app and just click a contact,back out,then go back in and it resizes automatically... For me at least.

So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?
the blank boxes... do they every populate?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.

Hello,
My wife's Galaxy S3 just got updated to Jelly Bean and an very annoying issue has started to occur: download finished notifications of all files that have ever been downloaded on the device (I assume, there's a ton of them) have appeared in the drop down bar. If I press clear all they disappear, but reappear after a short while.
Any idea what's wrong and how can it be fixed?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hiya mate, I've updated my S3 only moments ago and the same problem occurred on my phone. So I did as what you did and searched Google but nothing came up so I tried a few differebt things, including delete a few pictures I didn't need and taking out my SD card and evening stopping a few applications through the app manager but none of them worked. I then proceeded to go on Facebook on my phone and I saw a pic I found funny so I downloaded and the bright idea came from that. Would deleting my download history work and thankfully it did. To do this, click on your app button and the download app should be on the first screen, click on it and delete everything that is in the two tabs. If this doesn't work then I'm sorry but I don't know what else to try. I would provide pics of where the download app is what to delete but I'm on my phone at the moment and navigating on this page is so hard due to it not being mobile friendly.

Im usually pretty good at figuring tthe smartwatches out. but how do you get to the different screens on the watch? whe i turn it on i get on screen with instagram .calculater etc. when i swipe i get to blank pages. ive accidenttly stumbled across other screens with other things on them but i have no idea what i did to get there! is there a manual for how to use this watch? or can someone give me some basic instructions please???
I suggest you hold the bottom button down till the task list comes up, then swipe left to kill OUI2.0 launcher. When you do that, you will get a screen where you can select from available launchers...pick the little house with the android in it. Things will be more familiar then.

That is because you haven't installed Google Apps yet, which is part of installing the Play Store. Check around XDA for installing Play Store. I haven't redone mine since I got it in early February, so I can't walk you through it.

went there. not being a developer, its all a little greek to me. i really am afraid to start screwing around with the watch without knowing what i am doing. i also dont know if i should get a sim card or not before i attempt anything. anyone caare to help me root or patch my mod and walk me thru it so i can get this watch up and running?
It doesn't get any simpler than this.
Most of the guides here for the x201 are done in such a way that you do exactly what the instructions say. Except for some rare cases, 99% of the time there are issues is because somebody skipped a step or did the steps out of order. The other part of the problem is people think "OMG new tech! It must be scary and complicated" when in fact the core concepts are the exact same as a computer. Install software, click button(s), wait, done.

OK Well i got my yahoo mail set up. also got google play store on by emailing it to myself and then installing it. also found some apk's that i had from my zwatch that work on the omate: Aquamail, Easy uninstaller, Battery meter.
Two BIG questions: why does the watch have 2 sets of screens? the main screen set(which seems to be the default) with the blue background and the other set you get to by swiping down thats got a dark grey background with similar apps but has folders and more apps. i'd like to make that my default) but everytime you push the bottom button, it goes to the original blue default screen. same when you turn off and on the watch, it defaults to the blue set. how do you get rid of that blue default screen set. also is there a gmail app or do ii have to DL from play store? and is there a call log app? i cant find it if there is. THANKS!!
So you didn't install any patch. Not good. Almost every bit of info you just put on your watch (passwords, usernames, contacts, etc.) is now accessible by hackers, malware and malicious websites. Your watch can also be bricked remotely as well.

plus i cant get my computer to see the watch as a drive. i tried it with windows 7 and 8.1 and no luck. so i cant patch it unless i can get the computer to see the watch.
You don't need your computer to see it as a drive to patch it. Where did you read that you did?
Windows does not have to see any phone as a drive to recognize that it's there.
Getting your watch to be seen as a drive on your computer
Connect watch to PC
On the watch either a screen will pop up with a button saying "Turn on USB Storage" or "USB Connected" shows up in notifications
If you do not get the popup tap on "USB Connected" in notifications, the popup should now appear.
If none of these things happens the most likely cause it that the dock is defective.

There has been less than 5 reports of somebody actually bricking their watch and it wasn't from running either patch. The worst that happens is that you have to flash factory firmware to the watch. In the instances of people bricking their watch it has been because of flashing untested firmware that they got from somewhere other than myself.
The two sets of "screens" are launchers. You can either clear the defaults for the primary launcher or factory reset your watch.

I sort of depends on your cards. I lost my Stock quote cards and had to do a Google "Quote XRX" search. That restored my card for stocks. It's tied closely to your search activity, so do some searches and see if that restores the cards you're looking for.

That's not true. Also the watch prevents duplicate cards...
Usually just search for it in order for it to reappear. Weather gone? Say "How's the weather?". Calendar gone? Say "What does my schedule look like?" And so on...
If it was an app that had a card just open the app again.
You might also try refreshing google now on the phone if it was a google now card.

You're right about that, but technically that means refreshing the notification (and thus the input may be different/updated). It depends on how you look at it (perhaps i'm splitting hairs now )
How do I refresh google now on my phone? I've looked but don't see a refresh button. I've googled the weather like 10 times and the weather card still isn't showing up. Same for stocks. What a pain!

That's weird, this usually works for me. Is the weather showing when you asked for it or does it just do a google search? And is the weather card still on the phone? You can refresh google now on the phone by swiping down when open and at the top.
Do your searches for the relevant card, give it some time. It will reappear.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2
I understand some of the above frustrations with cards. For me I really like the weather on my watch face and wish there was a watch face that had weather (temperature) built right the face (not a card). I have accidentally swiped away my weather card and sometimes it takes hours for it to reappear.
Hoping over the next few weeks, devs will start making 3rd party watch faces (if it is even possible).

Thanks for the heads up; did not even notice that thread. Wish they had a category on Play for "Android Wear Watch Faces", would make it so much easier to discover new content.
