Hi, did a search before creating thread so apologies if this has been asked before. Had my G4 for a week now and love it however despite having location for my photos switched on the memories app does not appear to work. I've got my photos saving to SD card and taken quite a few photos but nothing. It's says "No memories - take photos or videos with their locations to create memories automatically".
As mentioned locations is on as Google photos sorts by location plus stock gallery when selecting individual photos also shows location.
Anyone else experienced this and if so have you managed to resolve?
you must save all photos in internal memory.there is a bug,photos from external memory cannot be altered-modified and then saved.photos must be saved internaly.i use google photos for editing,making stories,collage etc.

Does anyone know how or is there an app that saves your photos directly to the storage card instead of the phone itself? I used to have it set up this way but I forgot where I got it or how I did it. Thanks
its under the camera settings menu in the camera app...
[Q] Note 4 Gallery Failure to update
So, how often does the gallery ap, or whatever cache it uses updating for new files?
I download a picture, and it refuses to show up until after I restart the phone.
Ideas?
So. Anyone? Repro:
Download image from external source. Web or Dropbox.
go to gallery app. Notice download gallery is not updated.
have to restart to get it to show up.
Can anyone even repro this? Hello?
SD card speeds?
Hello,
I would start by formatting your SD card and putting your pics back on the SD card. If you dont have a class 10 SD card then the gallery can be a pain.
I use a Samsung 64gb Pro MicroSD and it simply flies. After the first boot up.. never noticed a single refresh. Must have cached all my hundreds of pics as I can
now freely flow though my entire library at full speed with zero redraws. Hope this helps.
PS. Best Buy has the nice 64gb Samsung EVO microSD card on sale for $30 right now. That should be perfect.
That has nothing to do with this. "Havent noticed a refresh". What?
Anyway, the issue is that the gallery is NOT refreshing when new things are written to the card outside of camera photos. So downloaded photos do not show up. It has nothing to do with the SD card.
Thanks.
Good Luck then. Seems you are alone on this. Warranty replace maybe? Factory reset?

Do you have dropbox or picasa Web albums? I know on my phones , the gallery can become unusable because it wants to sync the 9000 pictures I have on drop box, another 6000 or so on picasa and a few thousand from favebook. I have my pictures set to auto upload, so they build up.
Anyway, the gallery automatically I'd set to sync those thumbnails, and the result is that my phone slows to a hault.
Turning off picasa and dropbox to sync in the gallery fixes it every time.
Nope he is not aloe. I have the same issue. And I bet you also have it.
Download a picture from dropbox to SD or externalSD, and try to find it in the gallery. You won't be able to find it because the gallery refresh is slow (or buggy). If you receive files over BT, or snap some pics, they will be instantly available in the gallery. But not downloaded or PC uploaded images.
My solution was to open the image in file exporer. Navigate to where you downloaded it, and open it 1x-2x, then it will show up in the gallery as well. Or another workaround is Quickpic.. It's quite a very awesome app that lets you show/hide different folders (which the default gallery LACKS), even password protect some. The only reason I use the built in gallery is because my display is set to auto adapt and it changes the display to AMODEL picture (but I might change the display to permanent AMOLED picture)..
Hi people.
I recently bought a 64gb MSD card from eBay, and I had set the photos to be storaged at the external storage. Besides that I'm running Android 6.01
The problem is, last night I attended a wedding where I shot some pictures, and during last night I could see in the gallery that when I started taking the pictures, the pictures in the gallery was in the beginning there, however, soon after the gallery would say the pictures format was unrecognizable (WTF?), and the pictures would go missing from the phone. I've tried using the storage handling, which is provided by android. And I'm not able to see the picture. I've tried downloading ASTRO, and get it to show the hidden files. No luck either. I've tried erasing the .nomedia file from the MSD, still nothing.
I've tried here, the morning after to take a new photo, and I can see it's supposed to be saved at storage/emulated/o/DCIM/100media, So I've gone there by the USB port on my desktop, and I still can't see the pictures. I've been through every bloody folder on the storage without any result (And yes, I've tried installing the HTC app for desktops )
If you people have any idea how to get a hold of the pictures (If they are still there?), it would greatly appreciated!

I noticed that sometimes Google Photos creates duplicates without any obvious reason. This applies only for some but not for all pictures. The dupes are only visible on my HTC 10 but not on the cloud gallery. The file infos of both copies differ: One shows the file name without path information, the other one shows the complete file system path (DCIM folder as supposed). Deleting the former one removes it from the cloud while deleting the latter one removes it from DCIM folder but keeps both the copy in the cloud and in the local gallery. Even when it is removed from DCIM folder, the copy still seems to be stored locally on the phone (maybe in the Google Photos cache). Where would this be?
I tried to clear Google Photos app cache and data, starting from scratch. A few minutes later, the dupes appeared again.
Why is this happening? Who can I prevent this? Has anybody also experienced this?
I was really hoping to find an answer in this thread, just to see nobody has responded. I have this exact same issue.
It wasn't always like this, but the issue started a couple days ago. Photos is now randomly duplicating new photos taken with my OnePlus 3.
The duplicated photos are, however, also visible when accessing Photos from my Chromebook.

The issue disappeared a few days ago as unexpected as it appeared. Maybe some of the last Google Photos updates fixed it.
It just happened again.
Lol it happens sporadically for me. Not as often as it used to though

Happening to me too... Changed phones thinking it would fix it and alas, the issue is still there... Both phones are made by oneplus never had this issue on other device...
Hello random reader from future. Previous post is from dec 2016. This one is from aug 2017.
You are reading this in 2018, or later. Do not hope that google will fix it.
It's not a bug, it's Google Photos, it will do it if you change the name of the photo, copy it, move it to a new folder, take the SD card out and put it in the new device, send them again, see It's wrong and a dozen other reasons. No duplicate check or even MD5 checksum check on photos. Everything about it is new. Wait until you try to export your photos with Takeout, there will be even more duplicates! Try Duplicate photo finder software to remove all of your duplicates in your system
I have been using Google Photos for years, but this is my first Pixel device. My main concern is that since Google Photos is the primary photo/video viewer, how can I ensure that when I playback recorded videos that they are loading from my internal storage and NOT from the cloud?
Basically, I don't want to wait for videos to buffer, but I can't seem to tell when I'm accessing cloud storage vs internal storage when viewing pics/vids. Any tips?

I don't think there is a way to know for sure. If you took a video and didn't tell photos to delete the backed up photos and videos I would assume it will play the local file.

That hasn't been the case so far. I played a video that I recorded a few days ago (backed up but not deleted) and it took a few seconds to buffer before playing. I would think Google Photos would play the local file by default instead of wasting data.
Edit:
On second thought, you might be right. I don't recall turning on the auto delete feature but scrolling back through the images from inside the camera app shows the video is not there. But that still doesn't tell us a good way to know when Google Photos is accessing internal storage or cloud storage in general.
Turn on airplane mode. If you can access your media, it's local. If not, it's in the cloud.

Good call, that worked perfectly!
To make sure you're looking at local files hit the Menu button and go to 'Device Folders'

Now if only it'd keep the folder structure in the backups. That's my one huge complaint aboit Photos.
