Guys I've been taking pictures with the HTC camera and editing them with Google photos just fine, but now whenever I go to edit and save I get a message "unable to save photo edits" no matter what I do. Tried uninstalling Google+ as well but no luck. When I take pics with the Google Camera it works fine.
EDIT: so I took a picture and opened it with gallery saved it and opened it with Google Photos and now it works again. BUT all the older pics I took cannot be edited and I still get the "unable to save photo edits" Wtf....

I recall similar problems earlier this year too with the Nexus 5 or any other device. The solution that they came up with was to clear the cache of Google+, force close the Google+ app and then uninstall it, go to playstore again and reinstall it.
Don't know if it'll still work.
There are threads somewhere on xda with similar problems, might want to search for it though.
Let us know if it works, damn Google+, first this nonsense and now it's a battery hogger as well
---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------
This thread discussed the issue and then gave a link to another xda thread in which they gave a link to the solution discussion where they said to force close, uninstall, reinstall like I mentioned in my first post too.
Don't know if it still works though, should though as some of the replies on that discussion came as recently as May of this year so...

At some point in time you must've enabled the Instant Upload feature (and have obviously subsequently disabled it). The folder is in Picasa Web Albums, and it is non-removable from what I can see.
maybe this is different in 2.4, but you should have an option under syncing to not sync Picasa and instant upload.

i dont have picasa on my phone, iv re enabled syncing the google photos and google plus and instant upload trying to wipe the folder but its still there
it has a picasa picture on the folder but i dont have picasa installed and i cant find any settings for it
Google syncing brings Picasa to you in gallery by default. Turn off google photo's sync or edit the picasa web album
When you have the album open in Picasa Web Albums, choose Action, Delete Album - YOU WILL lose all photo's but it should then not show up.
To prevent it again in Google + turn off instant uploads

You don't need to have picasa installed on the phone for this to happen, Picasa Web Albums is online. It is where your pictures are saved when you enable Instant Upload in Google+, something which you must have enabled at some point since you have the folder.

I have been unable to get the Instant Upload album to delete, from Picasa Web Albums. It just stays there.
do you install picasa?
i got rid of it by removing my google account then adding it again and disabled goole photos from syncing then when i signed into google plus i disabled instant upload
I have different issue.
If I click on GALLERY it comes up with message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped.
REPORT - OK
Any ideas?
Speaking of the Gallery, is there any way to order the folders/albums alphabetically? It seems like they're ordered completely randomly, which is really annoying if you have a lot of albums.

Have you disabled any apps? I disabled a pile of crap I don't use (Google+, Books, Talk, News & Weather) and I got the same. Then I re-enabled them and it worked again. Didn't get into trying them one at a time yet.
On de SGS the Gallery-app gave al lot of problems. One of them was that it used al lot of juice. Another was that it not always showed all pictures. For those reasons I installed Quickpic. It is a free app and very reliable. But let's hope that the Gallery-app is improved on ICS.

I also love Quickpic, however the auto-rotate is extremely slow half the time on the Galaxy Nexus. The phone seems to be slow w/ auto-rotate everywhere, but it's even worse in Quickpic.

Have you tried clearing the gallery cache/date from app manager after you disabled google+? I bet they become linked upon initial start of gallery.
Yeah, that was the first thing I looked at.
Actually, now that I think about it, I did a settings wipe through titanium backup, but not a cache wipe through app manager.
Hmm. Let me try that.
Edit: Nope, looks like google+ physically has to be present. Silly.

Another weird thing with the gallery. When looking at the details of some images (transferred over from PC/Mac) I get a time of Jan 1, 1970. Normaly taken pictures, screenshots and those send from another phone through bluetooth have the proper time shown.
a problem I have sometimes is I get grey boxes instead of pictures
Just poke and hold on the gallery folder then hit the delete button. Problem solved?
Hi everyone. In the people app the pictures in ics are all low res. Anyone have any ideas to get the high res pictures? I find it odd that ics wouldnt go out and get the high res pics from facebook etc.
The only solution I've found so far is to manually change contact pictures using high res photos on the phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yes, but as soon as you sync with Google Contacts ... Those photos will become low res again.
And again, you must re-assign manually.
Stupid stupid stupid Google ...
So, is there any app or script that can we use to replace all contact photos at once?
First, we told the app ... "this is the image for this contact" ... for all contacts.
Then later, user can replace all with a button click!
Please ... please any developer can make this app? For sure a lot of people will buy to fix this stupid Google low res contact.
*begging* ... I will buy this kind of app, right away!

This is what gets me about Google - for all the good things they do, they are let down by silly details like this.
I have to agree. I was going over every item on the phone, and them my brother called and I was like, WTF ?

My contact photos haven't changed at all since I changed them to high res ones a few days ago...
Surely it has something to do with how much OTA data would be needed to sync hi res photos from gmail contacts to your phone..... I would rather have numbers than have them not sync because the pics are say 20mb each.... Thats why you havetoo set them from the phone.
So, in Google Contacts we should not put any photos?
In this way, when we sync, Google Contacts will not replace the photos that we have set manually?

They won't change on the phone, but the pictures sync back to Google Contacts as a low res 96x96 version.
That means if you need to restore your contacts for whatever reason (such as a factory reset), then you will get a crappy low res version back.

Google seem to be happy using the instant upload feature of G+ to send high res pictures back and forth, so I don't see why they can't enable it with Google Contacts.
Contact pictures will take up far less space, as they are cropped from a full image.
Google said that the contacts app will download peoples pictures from Google+
maybe you don't have that turned on, or maybe thats the only way to truly get high-res pictures. luckily for me all my main friends are on it already.

Yeah it looks like that may be the only way. I assume Google Contacts will be merged into G+ at some point, so there is just one place for all your contacts and issues like this won't happen.
Unfortunately for me only a handful of people I know actually use G+, so I can't rely on it at the minute.
i had this problem on my thunderbolt with the facebook app. the contact pics were very low res
my solution was to sync pics with the "facebook for HTC sense" app, and it worked. pics were beautiful. have you guys tried using an app like syncmypix?

I hope they enable this for facebook too in the future. Although I'm no big fan of FB and I can understand Google considering the cometitive situation, FB is still far more widespread than G+ and most of my friends don't want to join yet another social network.

Syncmypix syncs still in a quite low resolution, even if high res is enabled in the settings. And Syncmypix is definitely not optimized for 720p displays The actual app scales perfectly, but on the "crop" screen where you can edit the pics, every pic is really tiny. See screenshot below

Hey I just flashed the MiNCO v3 Rom on my gsm phone and when i go to the gallery normally i can see my Google Plus albums like Instant Uploads and the pictures ive shared with people ive google messaged but now none of them appear theres just my Camera folder and only the local pictures. my question is is there a way to get Gallery to fetch these and keep fetching them or is it just the Rom im using? Sorry for the noob question and thanks for any assisstance.
Maybe my Gallery app is corrupted? I try to go to the settings page but it just gives me a black screen. Is there a way to fix this?

I flashed gapps found on rootzwiki (can't post links yet but search JRO03C GApps Package 08/11/12) but unfortunately that has left me with a different problem. Now I can see all of my picasa/google+ web albums, but if I try to select those photos to either edit, post to instagram, or post to facebook, the app just does nothing. It appears to have something to do with the photo picker URL, but I'm not even sure of that, much less how to fix it. Regardless, gapps did fix the black screen in settings and missing picasa albums, as well as some other minor issues with calendar sync.
After the latest Tmobile update this week for the LTE upgrade, My gallery stops working...
If I am in a Text message and want to attach a picture, it goes to the gallery and just sits and nothing happen...
I can go to the gallery and then select share... but is a PIA when I have multiple pictures to send to multiple recipients...and no, they are not the same all the time so having a group will not fix this...
Yes, I have cleared the cache
Yes I have selected to view only the images in device...but then when I go back is defaulted back to all
Yes, I know there is other apps...but why would I add an app when the stock one worked fine before
Yes, I have tried 2 different SD cards...still the same issue
Yes, I did master Re-set
Yes, I took to T-Mo Store and they told me that was not a warranty issue...and yes I spoke to tech support and the guy pretty much read a script and at one point asked me to shut down my galaxy S3...yes, S3...go figure.
I just like to know before I take drastic steps and put a custom rom on the GN2
Its a bug. Update added a kajillion galleries from Facebook, Picasa etc. More galleries, longer to load. I went through the same thing on my n4 as well. I'm trying to find a solution, been looking for the right cache to clear.

Solved it. Turn off all sync for all photo galleries. I.e Facebook, picasa etc.
Then go to settings, applications, slide over to all, then clear data and cache for gallery.

Of course the phone is rooted and I deleted a bunch of nonsense, but I don't have an option to edit photos in the stock gallery app.
I had pixlr express installed and when I touch the edit icon, it launches that app. If an editing app is not installed, I don't get any edit icon.
Anybody know what I'm missing? Perhaps what it was that was deleted, maybe; the apk responsible for editing photos?
Please and thank you.

My friend you have deleted Google+(Or Photos app) that provided you the default editing feature. Reinstall/enable/defrost it and you will again have the stock pic editor back!

Really? Google+? I kept the stock gallery and camera. But google+ is responsible for stock photo editing? Man, Android is weird these days, I'll tell ya. Interesting, I'll look through the folder of deleted apk's and hopefully something looks like what I need. If that's the case however, I'll live without g+ or that silly picasa (or whatever) application.
Thanks!

It's definitely Google+ that gives you the editing option from within the stock gallery. I simply downloaded it from the Play Store and the editing options returned. I them hid G+ from my app drawer since I don't actually use the app.

See, I have the same issue, but google photos takes over the stock editor which was way better than google photos... Then when u uninstall google photos, it takes away the stock lg editor. I cant agree with the above answers, because i use and sell this phone to hundreds of people, several have had the same issue. I dont want google photos editor, just the awesome lg one...

i am using a photo editor and i will recommend you to use that android app for photo editing. go to play store and type Photex Pro : Text on Photos . It will be useful
