Hey,
I found several post about the gallery image order, but i think I've found a new problem...
I started after i deleted the app data for the gallery (because of another bug, where it doesn't show all of whatsapp videos), and my mistake was i didn't back it up with titanium backup first...
After the deletion, it appears that while most of the images are in the correct order, the panorama images are messed up, not completely, they are still close to their old location, but moved a couple of spots...
i tried debugging it, and i think that the cause is that the panorama files don't have the data taken exif tag... (same problem as with the video files)
I will try to add the tag myself and see if it works, but i was wondering if maybe it wasn't there for a reason? i know the files are not standard jpeg...
I would be happy for some input or some ideas from someone with more experience!
Any other ideas what to do...
It's a bit annoying

Update
It seems that the time data tag is written...
I thought it didn't because windows 7 didn't manage to read it, which might indicate the real problem.
Anyway, i've used ExifTool on 2 pictures taken one after the other, one of them is panorama and the other is a normal picture.
They both have correct exif tags and appear in the correct order, but what i did find out is that the tag "Exif Tag Order" is different, it is "little endian" for the panorama and "big endian" for the normal picture, other than that they are the same...
I'm clueless
I'm attaching links to my pictures, can someone try to help me debug it?
Picture a
Picture b (panorama)
Picture c
The pictures were taken in the above order, but picture c appears in the gallery between a & b (with more pictures).
EDIT - Forgot to mention, I've installed QuickPic to see what it does.
QuickPic, when told to sort by date, put all of the movies first (because they don't have exif, annoying problem itself), then all of the panorama pictures (in the correct relative order), then the normal pictures (again, in the correct relative order)
So there is some problem with the different tags!
err!

Dear all,
i am a photographer and would like to show high res images on my wp7 phone (HTC HD7). When i sync images in high(er) resolution (e.g. 1600x960) they will be resized by zune and/or the phone. I found in zune a setting that alllows me to upload the images as "device optimized" (800x480), original and custom (640x480). If i use original they will be still resized to 800x480.
The phone can (and should) handle large images, even the build in camera generates 5mpix waste.
I am sorry if there was alread a topic that answers my issue, just link me to it. I did not found anything regarding my problem.
Any ideas?

Don't know. It doesn't resize on my Zune->Phone sync. It doesn't actually even ask anything.
Hi
it does not ask me anything too, but there are resizing settings in Zune:
Settings / Phone / Images and Movies ("Videos" in german)
There you can setup "image quality" to original or something else.
Even "original" does not keep the resolution but resizes instead.

How do you know that using the "Original" setting, the pictures are being resized? How can you be sure they're not being put onto the phone in their original resolution?
Hi
firstly the setting was "device optimized" - i guess it means 800x480.
Then i setup "original" - but they are still resized.
I *see* that they are resized, because when i zoom in, they are unsharp and less of detail. When i sync e.g. a 5Mp image (that came from a 23mpix original), i do not see more detail compared to a 800x480 image upload. E.g. eylashes (on a portrait) are not distinguishable from each other. In the 5mpix image i can count all of them...
John
Have you tried removing all the photos from your phone, and re-syncing them? Perhaps changing the setting only affects newly-synced photos.
Hi
I die not remove them all but a few. I also synced completely New Images that never have been one the phone before. It is all the same: resized Images.

That would certainly seem to be a bug then....wonder if there's a workaround. Try removing the photo sync group and then recreating it?

Hi
I set up a fully new sync folder, disabeled the old one and restarted zune. When i put in the image to sync it was still resized uploaded to the phone.
What happened to your phones if you sync an image like that:
I am to new in the forum to post an outside link, but what happened to your phones if you upload an "siemensstern" image? (try to google for it)

I have the T-Mobile SGS3. I noticed today while looking in the Gallery app to view my photos that they are not in the order that I have taken them. I checked the details, and the 'Title' shows the actual date/time the photo was taken. The 'Time' shows something different. The EXIF data from the photos that were instantly uploaded to my dropbox shows the correct timestamp of when the photo was taken.
I also noticed that some photos with different timestamps were the photos I used to transfer via Wifi Direct or S-Beam.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is a major flaw if the timestamps are being changed due to transferring.
one more thing...
I also noticed that the photos are dated in the future. For example, one photo was taken on 7/13/2012 20:20 and now shows a date of 7/16/2012 10:02.

Yes, the freaking timestamp is wrong in the detail. Thus making any google+ photo upload messed up in date as well. Tried clear data on both gallery and camera...not working. Tried to install default ICS gallery, not working. The only way I can view the image in right order is to use QuickPic...but the timestamp is still messed up. :crying:

This is happening on my Verizon S III also.
It seems to be Google+ causing the problem. I disabled Instant Upload and it appears to have fixed the problem for any new pictures I take. The pictures with the broken timestamps don't even have any data in the "date taken" field in the EXIF data when I check it on my PC.
Try disable G+ Instant Upload and let us know if it fixes it for you.

sort gallery pics and videos
Hi. i had a problem when i was copyin pics from one of my device to other. It couldnt be sorted . I tried many options such as renaming , quick pic . nne worked. I found that when you copy pics to windows and it automatically stamps a "date created" time any time a file is copied. Due to this when i copied my pics to a new device from windows folder it wouldnt be sorted by date taken rather was sorted by date created. the way around is not using windows as the middle platform.
I connected both my source phone and destination device to a laptop. Copy directly from one device storage to the destination device storage. this does not edit the time stamp. This worked for me and all the copied itmes were sorted in gallery according to time taken.
So the only way is to copy directly from one device storage to another device storage (without copying it to windows intermediate folder).
Hope this works. do let me know if you need any help.

Hi guys.
So I've been using Instant upload for a long time now and I like the option to have extra copies of my images stored in the cloud in case something happens to my phone or something like that. Everything works great except one thing.
From time to time I get new folders in gallery, albums of pictures that are already in the main "Instant Upload" album are showing up alone. Sorted in the Y/M/D format (usually). That wasn't a big deal, I downloaded Perfect Tool for Picasa and dealt with it by deleting extra albums, and only leaving album "Instant Upload" undeleted. And for a few days everything is good again. And a few weeks back problems started, by problems I mean something that Google changed. New captured pictures are uploaded but put into the separate folders and again, sorted by date. That just looks ugly in the Gallery.
So my question is next.
Is it possible to keep the option for Instant Upload but make it not visible in the Gallery ? I'd really like that.
If there's the need to use a different Pictures Viewer, let it be.
Please, someone answer.
Thank you for reading.
I think you have to uncheck the synchronization with Instant Upload and Google Photos in accounts' settings, then clear gallery's cache if needed.
But won't that disable uploading photos to the cloud ?
Still need help with this, if anyone knows anything about how this works, please help out.
I'm having the exact same experience. Apparently it's a known issue and Google is already working on a resolution.

Hi all,
So here is what my concern is.. I have backed up my photos on Google photos cloud.. and I want to reduce the file size of the photos on my zuk z2. I tried GOM saver and all in one toolbox image optimiser.. and what they do is they create new optimised image file. So when I open my gallery - or Google photos , every photo shows up in "today" as they got created today by optimising app। And it's all shuffled up and random. To fix this I had to remove all photos from my device and download from cloud again.
Can anyone suggest me ?
Inputs will be appreciated
Thanks

Check if the optimized picture has any EXIF data(date and time when the picture was taken), maybe then you have a chance to fix it. I use QuickPic app and it gives and option to fix the date. Check the attached screenshot
Okay thanks for the suggestion. Will try to fetch date and time by exif.

Hi..
I tried what was suggested.
I compressed 3 of my photos using all in one toolbox.
They started showing up at the top of my photos list as the optimised files got created today.
I went into quick pic - I fixed the date of those photos.
They still show that they're created today..
Thank you for your input though.
I am open to any more suggestions please.

Every pic you click will have an EXIF data. The app you are using to compress the picture is not replicating the EXIF Data (only photo taken time and date is required) of original pic to the new compressed pic.
QuickPic can only fix this if the EXIF data has proper date.
My suggestion would be, try a different app to compress the pictures which saves some of the EXIF data.
P.S. I have no idea if any Android app is capable of doing it. Long back I used to have some software(forgot the name) in Windows which gets the work done.

Okay agreed.
I searched alot but was not able to find an app which retains the exif data. We can manually change the exif but that'll be a lot of effort for just saving a little space.
Thanks though.
Thread can be closed.
Simply enable high quality upload setting instead of original.
Google photos will automatically resize without quality or exif data lost.
Also u will get unlimited storage on this setting
The Moto Hasselblad Mod has a serious bug that when GPS tag is turned on, any photo taken by the Hasselblad Mod will be attached with a random GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp, and no GPS coordinates at all (Maybe the one I have is faulty, I don't have another Hasselblad Mod to test with).
Google Photos(The default gallary for Moto Z phones) is using GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp prior to other date time in EXIF which will resulting photos appears years early or in far far away future.
This bug has already been reported(see links below) a long time ago and never got fixed. So I downloaded Visual Studio and by a lot of Googling and made this program.

I tried to update date & time on mobile but after the date & time is updated Google Photos thinks this is a new photo and will upload a new copy of the photo at correct date & time, but still leave the old uploaded copy in library(so you got 2 same photos, at different time). So I guess I can only copy all photos to computer and make it right on the computer, and delete them on mobile, sadly(so at least there will not be any photos in 1980s or 2230s on my mobile)
This program will scan all jpg files by Hasselblad Mod, read the DateTimeOriginal from EXIF and use it to update GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp.
I don't know how to use Visual Studio or C# or Windows Forms, this program is build with a lot Googling & readings on MSDN in 1 day, so it might have bugs that I don't know yet. !!!!!!!!!MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!

Never made that correlation - it's been bugging me for over a year as to why I have pictures that never show up correctly, and mess up selection in applications because the picker shows recent.
What exactly is your application doing (since it got flagged by Chrome)?
It reads DateTimeOriginal from photo's EXIF and use it to update GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp. Not sure why Chrome flags it, but you can always use www.virustotal.com to scan it
