Hi all
I have a quick question with regards to Geo Tagging.
When I take a photo on my phone, I have it set to Geotag its position. The tag is definitely saved within the file as when I export it and look at the properties the location information gives the coordinates. What is strange is that the inbuilt gallery app does not seem to want to plot the photos. It is very selective on which ones it plots.
I have imported photos from my iPhone and saved them on to my memory card. It has plotted some of the photos, but not all. Likewise, earlier, after taking a few pictures I looked at the location view in the gallery and found that it had not placed any of the photos on a map.
I have cleared the cache on the photo app but this does not seem to solve the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
Some times, every photo and video material disappearing from my phone. Gallery shows nothing. But all photoes and videos are still on SD card. The main point, that I can't reach them. Some widgets, like gallery widget, can show me the pictures, but when I pres on the photo to zoom it - black screen appears and that is it. How can I solve this problem?
see if there is a nomedia file in your photos folder if there one then delete it and your photos will appear again
if it doesn't work then try another app to see the pictures just to know if the problem from the stock gallery app
I read that one of the features of JB is high-resolution contact photos. I'm on JB now but I don't seem to be able to make high-resolution contact photos appear on the People app. I tried changing the contact photos on Google through a computer but after sync the photos still appear blurry in the People app of my GNex. I know I can get a high resolution photo to appear by changing them directly on my phone by selecting an image in Gallery, but this trick has been around since ICS. So what does 'high-resolution contact photos' mean in JB?
From what I have experienced, the first time you set up your contact photos from the contacts app (i.e. going into the contact --> edit --> set picture from gallery) google will keep that high resolution picture backed up in it's database. So let's say you set up your contacts, wipe your data, and load a new or stock rom. Then your contact app will repopulate the original high-res images you set in the first place, not the 256x256 resolution or whatever that they used to keep backed up before JB.
I really like the way the Stock Android Gallery app handles my photo, rather than the Sony Album app. But recently I noticed that my phone has a number of photos that supposed to be deleted re-appeared in my Gallery app. Very strange.
I installed Google KitKat 4.4. Gallery and Camera app , installed google plus, thus the "photo app" came together as well. All photos save to SD card DCIM folder by default. I did make sure that cache cleared, thumbnail rebuild after each test below:
1. Delete a photo from Gallery App, it disappear from all photo viewing apps, including the Sony Album App.
2. Check ES Explorer, the photo supposedly deleted still in there.
Tried again, using the Google Plus photo app
1. Delete a photo from Google Plus Photo App; made sure empty the Bin as well. Check all photo viewing app, the photo has been removed.
2. Checked ES Explorer again, the photo deleted is still there!
Then I tried Sony Album App
1. Delete a photo from Sony Album App. All photo viewing apps have the photo removed
2. ES explorer: this time it removed the photo there as well!!
Is this some kind of feature that the google apps build to protect accidental deleted image? If so, how come the photos are still there after Bin was emptied? How to make sure the photos that I wanted to delete is genuinely deleted? (apart from using other apps)

It gives you the option when setting up the Phone to backup to Google so check your sync settings.
I didn't even turn on the photo auto backup. So there is nothing I can set there except from logging into google account.
As for the Gallery app, I can find any setting regarding deleting photos. There is not even a Bin folder in there.
Bump. Anyone can help?
SOLUTION: update to OxygenOS 3.1.3 or higher

hi, I have a OP3, but in the app "google photos" and in the "gallery" only the pictures shot with my OP3 are showing, including screenshots.
So I'm missing my whatsapp pictures (using GBwhatsapp) photos stored in: internalStorage/GBWhatsapp/media/GBwhatsappImages
als missing downloaded pictures (download with chrome & slimsocial app), phones stored in:
internalStorage/pictures
internalStorage/Download
I've read that more people can't find their photos (download or from other apps) in the Google photo's app,
If I look in device folders I only see my screenshot.
Are there more people with this problem? or Am I doing something wrong?
In the past I used QuickPic, I tried that and it's working fine, displays all my pictures/videos!
But I prefer google photo, so I'd rather have that working.
No one with the same problem?
Open menu in Google Folders on the side, and choose: local folders.
does it help?

No, it only shows the screenshots I took. no downloaded images
I updated to OxygenOS 3.1.3 and the problem is fixed
I've noticed that some old photos appear first in the album randomly even if I delete them. And also some photos are blurred. I'm using the Album app that was preinstalled when I bought the phone. Someone with the same problem and know how to fix this?
Had it before. If they are blurred duplicates of the photos you already have, chances are its the thumbnails. Just locate the Thumbnail Folder ( varies for devices ) and create a ".nomedia" file in there to exclude that portion from being scanned.
After which be sure to Clear your Album App Data in settings A quick restart after that should do the trick.
