Google Photos last picture bug? - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

I'm noticing a bug in the Google Photo app of my Z Play that I didn't have either in the Nexus 5 nor in the Nexus 6p.
The gallery will always show up the last photo taken, even though that photo was deleted. Are you experiencing the same problem?

NO. What rom are you using, anything besides full stock. Try wiping the Photos app and start it from scratch.

i'm on stock 7.0 with March security patch.
Tried to delete Photos cache, yet the same is happening. Take a photo, delete it, then go to device folder and the folder's image is that removed photo

Sorry no issue here at all, do you see the picture still in Photos are just through your file manager. If so make sure Photos is updating when you delete and the picture is being moved into Trash.

Ended up uninstalling the Google Photo's updates and installing them back, and now it works

Pictures showing wrong exif timestamp

Not sure why I haven't asked this sooner but my gallery shows images in the wrong order for all my pictures that I copied onto my sdcard. They all say Jan 1, 1970, 12:59:59, and therefore are all displayed in the wrong order.
If I view them in Quicpic, everything is in the correct order and the correct Exif information is shown.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried deleting cache/data for the Gallery app.
I had the same issue. I deleted all pictures, cleared dalvic cache, and cleared cache on camera app. It seems like I don't have this issue any more.
But I think I had this issue because I'm on leaked JB ROM.
Yeah, took some pics yesterday and today I noticed they were in the wrong order :/
Weird. Mine have all the right data and are in the correct order in gallery.
i too have this issue
no idea how to correct it and why its happening
simply taken with the standard camera app
no copying or such done

It looks like some new pictures in my gallery still have wrong date, even though, file name has correct date/time. It could be because of automatic date/time setting, so I turned it off to see if it'll resolve the issue.
i noticed a similar issue, but my note seemed to be losing/deleting tag info on photos. a few had the date taken adjusted two days or so into the future. i think it had something to do with auto uploading to google+. are you doing that?

Looks like a different problem than relax24's. I have the same problem as you, though with my new (stock) Samsung Galaxy S III. Not all pictures, but around half are dated for about 2 days in the future from the time taken. The photos in my Instant Upload album have the correct exif timestamp. Also, the filenames show the correct dates. I found this thread looking for a solution on Google. Any more info on this?
Found this on the MCR forum for MCR's JB rom.

Some talk on RootzWiki

You can fix your issue with the help of this app named "Auto Stamper". This app specially developed for add date and timestamp on photo while capturing it.
Additionally, you can add stamp text in various style, color, size and positions as per your image background. try this app from Google Play Store and enjoy #happystamping

Photos from Google Camera do not show up in Instagram

Hi,
I recently moved to the google camera (using the modded apk, containing HDR+ and 60fps video), however one issue I have found is that the pictures do not show up in any of the Instagram categories other than Other... However, Gallery and other apps like Facebook see them normally.
Oneplus 3
Android 7.1.1 OOS
Rooted with Magisk
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Just check your gallery already!
Different camera apps have different picture saving indexes thus something it doesn't show up .
Just check gallery app
Here's the 'Camera' selection, the ones in the red box are taken with stock. The other ones are with the Google camera.
Remove [X] new user, sorry

Here's the Camera collection in Instagram:
htt[X]p://i.imgur.com/Xo3JPac.png
It is not showing any of the Google camera pictures.
I have same problem. Photo taken from google camera doesn't appear on instagram.
Same problem on my Redmi Note 4 running LOS with the HDR+ Google Camera.

No clue haha could be..
So after a huge amount of digging through file details and such, I believe I have found the reason why this happens and how I can show it easily.
The cause is down to the "Profile date/time" within the EXIF of the Google camera photos. It is not correctly set, so apps read it incorrectly. This can be shown in Snapchat, where the date of a photo is from the year 49429 etc. I assume this is because Snapchat does not expect the date to include the day, and therefore it funks up all it's formatting: ht tp://i.imgur.com/CVaV1lc.png (remove space)
F-Stop was the only app I could use to actually find this attribute, and as shown, it displays the incorrect profile date/time. I compared this to my OnePlus 3s stock camera EXIF which did not report any profile/date time, which I assume Snapchat then read the normal date time and passed it correctly htt p://i.imgur.com/xj0sK4N.png
So from here, I believe the APK will need to be changed to correctly report the correct date time in the correct format OR report no "Profile date/time" so that the default date time is read instead. This should then fix all the ordering issues happening with WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram.
I've just noted that this version seems to have fixed this issue ht tps://github.com/gladiac1337/gcam

Yes, under Others, but Instagram doesn't recognize them, so I am stuck with only 1 photo. Multi photos is not possible/

Then something is wrong since it works fine in my end and others.
I have the same problem. Had to go to "others" under Instagram to visualize the pictures, and it is still cumbersome to choose as it jumps back to gallery when you go back.

Should i reset the phone or not?

Guys I've had the pixel 2xl for over a year now and i last did a clean install 5-6 months ago. I don't really have a problem with the phone with occasional drops in frame rate in some applications. I was just curious to know your views incl. pros and cons of resetting my phone and would you advice me to do it?
Thanks in advance.

I think it's a good idea to go just that every 6 months or so. But that's just me :good:

When was the last time you did it? And what changed in your experience? Interms of fluidity, battery life, previous data?
Also one more thing if i a clean install how can i get my photos back? They are already uploaded in my Google photos but i still like them to be on my phone and i had issues with it can't download every pic one by one.

I do a adb and googl backup before I do a reset. I don't really notice any battery changes, but does seem to run better. I also backup all my photos to my pc, as well as my TiBu folder for user app restoration :good:

Don't really know, I've never done that before. I find it easier to just back up my photo folders to my pc, which are also synced to my google photos folders. So after a reset, I just drag & drop my photo folders from pc to phone, and google photos already recognizes them :good:

You can also create a folders on your internal storage with a root type, or standard file manager with names like..Family, dogs, or whatever. Then drop your photos in those folders. Your gallery app, like QuickPic will pick them up, which you can then sync those folders with google photos :good:

Google photo can't remove synced photos from the phone

Hey, guys! I have Redmi 8 Note Pro with Miui 12 (well, same was with Miui 11) and I use Google Photo to keep all my photos. And I was faced with the fact that when all the photos are uploaded and I press "delete synced photos", the photos are not deleted from the phone and the Google Photo starts uploading them to the cloud again, although they had already been backed up earlier. The only way is to remove them from the phone with your hands. Has anyone come across this? How to make sure that backed up photos are deleted correctly from the phone?

Use google camera instead like I do. Wyroczen's 7.3 v2 is best working for me although with some viewfinder lag but the benefit that gcam gives me is priceless! It opens Google Photos in the preview button from where you can immediately photos you want (u can remove from bin later on if you like) or whenever you like, instead of taking you to the ****ty MIUI gallery. That's the only way to remove photos correctly, by removing it manually from Google Photos.
Have you even installed google photos btw?

Anyway, it doesn't seem like a camera bug because its google photo can't remove synced photos, not camera.

Then try clearing the app data & cache of Google Photos. Disable and re-enable and update the app afterwards (in most cases it isn't required).

Question Assistance with the Oneplus 9 Pro Photos App

Last week I updated my OP9 Pro to the latest version c61. Everything works fine, but the Photos App is basically useless.
What I mean by this is when I go into the Photos App everything is "blank". When I go into file explorer and go into the DCIM of pictures folders I have I can view the thumbnail and even open up any image and view it, but if I try directly from the Photo's app it's just showing like a blank transparent black box.
I have a 2 part question.
1. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, how did you fix it? I really don't want to wipe my entire phone because everything else works fine.
By the way I tried clearing cache storage for the app under app info and tried disabling, rebooting my phone and reenabling and no luck.
2. What is a good Photo's/Gallery replacement app to the stock one?
A few features that I would like if possible:
No ads
minimal/simple functionality (I don't really care about extensive photo editing. Really just cropping and flipping photos if necessary)
If you can hide certain gals that a plus, but not necessary
A lot of the replacement gallery/photo apps I have seen have a lot of ads and I don't want to deal with that.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, whilst I've never experienced the issue you have in question 1, have you tried to add an album? When you take a photo on your phone camera does that appear? ( Both in the camera and your gallery) as for an alternative I personally use Google photos as it just works.
Thanks for your response and sorry for the delayed response. It's a really odd glitch.
If I take a picture and open it at that moment it will display fine. Also if I go into a file manager and open it I can view it fine. But if I go into my photos app it's blank. I ended up downloading a couple other photo apps and they open up all my media fine without any issues. It's a really bazaar glitch but seems to only be with the oneplus photo app with the newest c61 update.
I'm not sure if I can remove the stock photo app from my phone because I believe it's a system app and the only option I have is to disable it, but I was thinking of trying to remove it from my phone and reinstalling it from scratch.

maybe you denied a required access right by accident?

I mostly use the google photos app. not sure if this is an option for you, but it should check all the marks from the initial post.
Thanks, I should look at it. I'm not sure if google photos backsup your stuff by default, or you can just turn off that feature. I feel like with that feature enabled I would quickly run out of the limited space google gives you as it is so you would be forced to upgrade to get more space.

I think it is turned off by default or at least asks you.
but you can definetly turn the backup off manually.
it gives you 15gb incl. shared between google drive, gmail and photos I think.
for me this is still enough, but I also backup at my home cloud.
