Hi,
I decided to try out the live photos function in the camera app as it could be fun to have some short video clips when taking pictures of our dog etc
So, I take the picture and it works well to watch the picture and the video in the inbuilt gallery app. However, the photo backup to Google Photos and Flickr just includes the picture and not the video (or, at least, I can't see the videos on Google Photos or Flickr, it might be included in the uploaded file somehow?)
I tried transferring the picture to my pc too for backup there, but same story again, can only see the picture, not the video.
Anyone know if there's a way to fix this so the video part doesn't disappear when I have to free up space on the phone?
I tried deleting a live photo from the phone and redownload it to the phone to see if I then could view the live part in the gallery again. I could not
I've tried googling for a solution to this for LG phones, but I can't find a thing, just a bunch of stuff for iPhone and Pixel phones.
Got a solution of sorts: If I view the video part in the gallery I get an option in the lower right corner to save it as a video and if I do that, that video uploads to Google Photos etc

Just been trying to take some contact photos with the new V4 rom, they dont get saved atall. Not to a contact or onto the disk. Once its taken it just vanishes?
Also when browsing images using the viewer clicking "Camera" doesnt do anything.
Anybody got some nifty registery hack to fix it. Ide like to fill up my contact photos for the cube but ones taken with the normal camera are huge files and look odd when shrunk down so much!
Thanks
Ryan
Same problem here
Also saw it with mine too.After tryng tht and starting camera with the hardware key showed,camera initialisation error.May be some gurus will help us out.
Yes, it appears the camera is broken, I can not open any pictures I have taken, not just contact photos.
In have just reset my device to see if I can find a work-around and it is now stuck on the welcome screen.....
Camera problems
Problems I have with the camera are:
- Contact pictures are not saved (so you can't use them)
- GPS foto's still not working
- foto's and video's are stored in the seem folder
- when you make a movie the movie is not showing under album (but it is in the folder)
- when you try to play a recorded video you receive an error saying "the source filter for this file could not be loaded"
Does anyone know if there is a cab file for the camera or who to contact to get these problems fixed???
Trying Fix now..Wait me..!
Hello,
When I import photos & videos to my PC my phone uploads a lot of junk pictures and advertisement videos. Has anyone else had this problem? I have no idea how these things are getting on my phone. When I go through my gallery on the device I don't see any junk photos or advertising videos, only the photos that I've taken myself. I've attached a screen shot of 2 examples of what is happening to try and better explain my situation. Let me know if anyone can help.
Thank You
Hello guys, I am looking for the faces sorting in photo gallery. Need to say I **** on the Google photos - they have this option only on the cloud and I wanna sort photos in my phone not somewhere on the server. If I remeber right the old versions of android have this option, but now there is nothing like that....
I need clarification on photos I take on my Pixel 2XL backup process and keeping them in Albums.
I have noticed if I take a pic on my Pixel 2XL it shows it is being backed up then will show “Back-up Complete”. Where is this mystery ‘backup’? Also, if I take a pic, upload it to an album in Google Photos and then delete the pic from the phone, the pic is also deleted from the album! What am I missing here?!?! I want the pic off my phone but still kept in the album within Google Photos.
Yes you are right. Pixel using photos for backup. Phone and photos server try to be sync.
If you delete a pic from your phone with the "galery" or with the photos app It will delete the photo from the server too. and vice versa.
If you want to remove pic from your phone and keep it in the photos. (https://photos.google.com/) you have to go to:
Photos - settings - Back up& Sync. Make sure it is tunerd ON
Then go to Free up device storage
Pictures will be removed from the phone but will be stored with original quality @ https://photos.google.com/
I hope this is what you ask for.
Many thanks! Worked perfectly. Damn I love this phone lol!!!
Have just realised Google photos back up doesn't back up Samsung motion pictures it just backs up as a normal picture is there anyway to fix or retrieve these pictures so that motion pictures work again ? It seems to back up pixel and iPhone motion pictures but shows no love for Samsung and yes I have the motion picture remover option turned off in Google photos which would only save motion pictures as a normal picture.
Hi! I have similar problem with note9.
1. Live photos that made on samsung camera app on android version lower then 9 not recognizable as motion by google photos. So probably backup can also remove it. But backup in full format, download it back to phone and try to play it with samsung gallery. Not sure, but it should keep file as is, without reformatting. This works in this way on my wife's S8+ (still android 8.0)
2. After I got android 9 on my note9, with new samsung camera app, live photos detected as "motion included" in google photos.
But not playable in google photos (same via web), export to video of gif gives an error too.
Full size backup and restore keeps the motion.
Smells like google photos service bug, but looks like google don't care.
Now, when I retested all this behaviour..
Now, when I retested all this behaviour, google photos restore live photos without motion!!!
