[REQ] Upload old photos in full quality - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Just an idea. Wouldn't there be a way to have the Pixel override the original photo and video details to spoof that it was actually taken on the Pixel, to gain full quality upload ability? I could load all my old photos off my hard drive into the phone, then sync full resolution to the Photos app?
If this is a bad idea, feel free to remove this post. Not sure if it breaks our rules or not. Lol.

Uh, no need to spoof it. It just works. Try it out.

REALLY!? I thought the full resolution was only for photos "taken" with the Pixel. Will have to give it a try!

Suppose I should have tried it before I posted! How do I delete this thread now? Lol.

Thread closed per request.

Nobody has a clue as to what you are using as far as a setup goes. That may help you to get some answers.
Also, try being a little more descriptive as to what is happening.
More explination,more feed back?
thanks..and as far as setups go.... I am not running any modifications, roms, roots, flashing or whatever other tricks that most are. My sprint samsung galaxy s epic4g sph-d700 is moified no different than the day I purchased it. 100% factory settings, not even an ota upgrade done. As far as what's happening, the music player/ers don't seem to remember some 200 tracks I've been playing since I found my mp3 download capabilities. No files exsist, even after I play them from the file, in which they only exist, through the players their instantly gone once I close the player, although they still remain in the original file they were downloaded to. The media, movie, player is doing the same with the handfull of movies I've installed. My movie player was full , like music players were, yesterday, now "no files exist", says the according app. To add all of my camera pics and image downloads are wiped clean from the gallery. If I snap a new pic it will show up in the gallery, until I close it. When I return their gone, but again still exist in its folder. I don't get it and need a bit of advise on my next move to fix. Thanks people. I hope I've explained my issue good enough for diagnosis.

Download quickpic from the market and try that. May be a problem with your Gallery app.
Rite on... Will try.

[Q] Tiny pictures in google plus posts?

I tried posting a screenshot of a speed test, and it got posted as something like 130x320 pixels. WTH?
I can't find a configuration for this. I looked online, and the full rez photo is there under "from my phone".... but I can't find a way to choose what resolution to use in the post.
I tried posting a camera shot and the same thing happened... tiny little picture, like 240x320.
Anyone know how to fix this, other than not posting pictures using the G+ client in ICS?
i'm trying to figure this out as well. I'm tired of these tiny freaking pics when posted using the Plus client.
Figured it out - it was on 2.1 of G+ and didn't auto update. Went to the market and clicked update and it's fixed in 2.3.

Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!

Has anyone else noticed that if you enable Google+s Instant Upload feature with the HTC One, it will upload every frame of a Zoe (as well as the movie file) to your designated album. This makes it so messy! I wonder if anyone will come up with a work around for this?

AW: Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!
Dropbox does that as well .
It's necessary to save every frame as it should be a 1:1 backup of your taken pictures.

Yeah this is really annoying. Just synced 1000 photo's to my PC. I have now learned to save an event as a mp4 then delete the Zoe photos. Maybe a software update can save us?

I agree that this is a shift from what we are used to with our previous phones. However, each zoe contains a couple of great frames that I actually want to keep as single-frame photos. So how is the phone supposed to know which of the frames are worth keeping? If you just keep the Zoe, then the individual frames are somewhat lost.
I am used to sorting through hundreds of photos, adding the 'good' ones to albums, and deleting the rest from instant upload. Going from hundreds to thousands is definitely going to take an adjustment. I am not sure how HTC will approach this issue, or if they will even approach it. Since google makes it quite easy to select a whole album and hit 'delete', I don't think it will be that difficult to deal with from a user perspective. select the photos you want to keep, select the actual 'zoe' file if you want to keep it, add them to an album of your choice. Then select the rest of the event and delete it all.
I was wondering why my battery just wasn't lasting, but it must have been all the constant uploading all day long. I will set it to upload only when charging, that should help.

I'm gonna say easy: new menu item next to the current 'save frame' that says keep all frames. Save all these otherwise 'temp' images in a subdirectory with .nomedia and delete once the zoe is deleted to keep from selling, and place it outside the camera directory so theyre not auto-uploaded and further suck my borderline battery any further down.
I can't believe the average consumer is expecting and wanting 30 more "bonus" photos for every movie... I know I frakkin don't.
I have severely curtailed my use of zoe until this is fixed.

I just experienced the same. Phone eating through the battery as it quietly uploaded about 400 zoe frames.
And there lies the problem. I've got in the habit of editing my albums right down and deleting does/frames where needed, but I don't always have time to do this directly after taking the photos.
Google+ doesn't know to only start uploading once I've been through and edited.
So either I accept that I'll have to go through and re-edit my google+ albums, or I turn off auto-upload and lose the lovely backup functionality of the service.

Don't be a member of Google+. Don't allow the phone to upload images.

Because people are looking for a solution, such as something HTC will roll out or dev's will sort.
For most (me included) turning off instant upload is not the answer, as the whole point of instant upload is to keep a real-time backup of your images.
It is just the bad design of saving ZOE images that is causing the problems.

Absolutely agree. We shouldn't have to lose functionality. Fingers crossed someone smarter than I can come up with a workaround

QED as pointed out in post 2 of this thread.
If you want to save certain images on the go, do so by selecting the image you want to save and uploading that.
Leave sorting out the rest of the images until it's more convenient to you. Seems obvious.

Your "answer" is laughable...
I'm not here to troll, and neither was the other guy, but listen to what you are asking for....
I want all of my photos backed up instantly, except for the photos I don't like, because I haven't reviewed them yet.
So, you DONT want all your photos instantly backed up
Soluntion
Turn off auto-upload, and only upload once you've gone through your photos.
It's a solution, you want your phone to figure out what the best picture you took in a series is before it's saved. That's a ridiculous request if you stop and think about it. No one on the planet would hire a professional photographer again if this software existed.
Workflow ... he's never heard of it and wants someone to write an app for that

Not true. There could definitely be options. If you click on a zoe there is a bar in the timeline that shows where the picture taken when you pressed the shutter is. There could be an option to only make that 1 photo available for upload.
Or there could be an option to only make the zoe.mp4 available for upload.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not posting here DEMANDING a solution. I just noted it here as a possible issue with using zoes.

Wow, you must end up 'rolling your eyes' at a lot of stuff on XDA then. These are called smartphones for a reason.
Yet people still look at them, use them, and think they could be improved somehow. That's why we install custom roms and customisation apps.
Carrying around a diary, and a notebook and an address book used to be a 'workflow'
Then someone came up with something better.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with noting the inefficiencies in your workflow to try and improve/speed thing along.
You've made your point that you don't think this is an issue. Now please leave this thread alone.

I do. Have been doing so for the last six and a half years, when it was all fields round here.
90% of the posts on xda are from people who wilfully refuse to RTFM or STFW, and don't possess any form of critical analysis.
Too many people expect everything to be done for them by others, instantly.
They can't be bothered to read, search, read, read, read and then search some more, like the rest of xda residents.
Most can't even be bothered to check their spelling, their sentence construction, how to phrase a question or be polite enough even to come back to a thread to say thanks.
Then there are the people who demand that other people, get out of threads

[Q] Editing Multiply photos at once..

Hi all. I have taken 100-150 night shots with G4. I am just looking for an app that i can edit all the photos at once. My pc is weak so i can't use photo editor programs.

Why would you want to edit that amount of photo's at once? Thats really unprofessional in my opinion. Simply said, not every photo is exactly the same, no matter in what kind of condition. May there's a small difference in the darks, white's, colors, balance etc... and you are talking about 100+ photo's. The result of editing them all at once with the same settings and chances won't give you good results.

I took overall 130 night sky (stars) shots with 30 second of shutter speed. Now i need to change detail of pictures in order to get good results. Then, i will make a timeplase video with these pictures.

My opinion still stays the same, unprofessional and it won't give you the best result. I understand you want to keep the looks of your photo's as much as the same as the others but even in dark conditions the photo's aren't exactly the same and giving all the photo's the same chances won't look as good as it could for a time-laps video or just as a picture. I am a photographer so maybe I take it a bit to serious in your eyes, so i will keep it by this. I hope some one else gives you a hint for an app you could use because I honestly don't know an app or program that can edit that amount of photo's at once, simply because I never had and wanted to.

You are photographer but u miss something. LG G4 supports raw photo capture. I took all the pictures on JPEG mode not on raw mode (just for test) then i combined all 130 pictures with a timelapse app on android. The result was amazing without editing photos. I will share video when i finish with editing and u will see what can G4's camera do. It is a sample video of timelapse that one guy shared

photo editor app?

Anyone have suggestions of a good one?
I have always been a fan of Aviary, and it's only gotten better since Adobe bought them, but I will say that the built-in app is pretty good for a quick auto adjust.

I can't write on my photos or cut out a section of the photo tho...I was trying to prove some private information before posting it online and couldn't do that, which was very frustrating so figured I'd ask...glad I did, I'll look into that app! Thanks!

Yeah I downloaded it and it's awesome! Thank you for the suggestion!
Snapseed, Pixlr, PicsArt and Aviary are the best photo editing Apps you should be looking for !
All are free and available in the PlayStore
I use a few different editing apps depending on what I am doing. The one I use frequently that is not mentioned here is snapseed
Snapseed and Prisma is what I primarily use.
Photomate is what I use if I want to real editing on an Android device(It even supports RAW).
I also have lightroom but just like on my PC I never got into using it(I prefer using PS)

The gallery app with CM had the basic needs for editing (cutting, drawing and writing). Anything similar?
Snapseed is a bit too much IMO. Will give Aviary a run. Thanks
Photo studio pro is the best IMO
Pixlr
