Do you have a way to temp disable google photos and Google+, or just check them apps period.
Or do you have some kind of cloud storage that is backing them up. (Eg. Mega, dropbox, etc)
I don't think samsung account backs up photos.
Were they downloaded photos? They could be in some cache folder.
Sorry best answer i can give you.
I have dropbox, but it's full. I froze Google plus. I'll check in Google photos.
Thank you for your help and reply!

Please help me... I unlocked bootloader, it wiped all my phone, then rooted hoping to get some sort of backup. No luck. Can you please help? Lost my 2 week old's baby photos due to stupidity.

try this: http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/recover-deleted-photos-from-nexus-s-and-galaxy-nexus.html
if that doesnt work, you might be out of luck.
Thanks Zep... unfortunately this doesn't work with the Galaxy Nexus, as it doesn't have an SD card and isn't recognized by the program.
there are some apps that have require root access that i have heard you can use to restore deleted files

Sorry dude that sucks. Even though some people may hate it that is the benefits of the cloud.
Google+ uses an instant upload function that automatically uploads pictures taken from your phone into Google Photo's. DropBox has a similar feature which also syncs your photos into the cloud storage. Google+ edges dropbox out because it allows you to view photos sitting in the cloud Google Photos/Picasa directly in your gallery.
I am consistently wiping and changing ROMS on my phone so I opted to not have anything major physically stored on it. All my albums are store in Google+ Photos and are not shared, they are private and only visible to me. So if I ever have to wipe..say I am on vacation and my phone gets stolen and I have to do a remote wipe before transferring the pictures I snapped over, I know they were probably uploaded to Google Photos and I won't lose any candids.
Thanks Zep.,
These progs. unfortunately aren't working with ICS. I really appreciate your advice. Thanks again.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your photos, but every post about unlocking your bootloader states that it will wipe your phone.
Per the previous post, think about using Google+, Drive, or Dropbox.
I hope you are able to recover the photos.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try to somehow backdoor install "undelete for root users" on my phone and see if it'll work with ics.

U should post/ask this in the actually Google / android forums, yes sounds crazy since ur basically hacking ur phone but if they didn't want us to do it they wouldn't give us stock images and way to relock bootloader, its worth a try ... if anyone would no its them
Currently there is no android app that can restore files deleted off an ext4 partition (which is what the GNex uses). Not sure if there is anything available in Linux, but if so, you should theoretically be able to find some way to mount the /sdcard and use the Linux program. Haven't looked into it myself though.

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.

P.S. This is not a Gnex specific issue... it's happening on all phones.
Can anybody shed some much needed light on where HTC store the backups in Google drive? I've found it under "HTC Backup" in dropbox, not so lucky with Gdrive.
I just wanna delete the backup manually.
This has been driving me mad for hours now. So any help, at all, would be appreciated.
Anyone? ?

I want to know this too. I've checked my Google drive, and selected to view the HTC app, under setting>manage apps, but can't see any of the files that have been backed up.
Hello Guys,
I have deleted an entire album with hundreds of pictures of family and trips I must recover.
Reading several sources I realize I need to be rooted in order to use the DiskDigger app, but not sure which is the method that is most up to date.
If you could please lead me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
Note: If you know of an easier way to recover the pictures without rooting, I'd appreciate it.
Maybe it backed up on LG Backup to cloud or Google backed up your photos to your Gmail. Search that. It backs up those things if you didn't turn off sync so check Google photos and LG back up.

Hi,
I checked on google., but the pictures are not there. I do not have it set up to back up anything to the cloud.
I was able to root though, and used diskdigger. The issue is that it recovered a bunch of pictures that were not deleted and other meaningless stuff.
Is there are better software anyone could recommend for recovering these pictures from the internal memory?>
My google app (news feed) Tiles or whatever you would like to call them! Is not loading inside my google app. have tried everything imaginable. anyone have any insight or experienced this issue before!?
