Camera photos disappeared after Q beta 2 - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

After upgrade to the April 5 ,Android Q beta 2 update, the camera folder suddenly disappeared altogether from Google photos!!
The photos are still there on the device if I go to a file manager but are not appearing in Google photos, the whole camera folder (and all other on device photos) is gone.
I downloaded another gallery app to test and the on device photos appear in some and not in others,wherever they do appear the photo file size appears as 0 bytes in the gallery ,even though file manager shows they are 3-4 mb.
Anybody else who experienced this and any way to resolve this ?
Cheers

I just noticed the same bug. When I take a photo and click on the image, the camera app crashes and google photos does not recognize the new pictures. They are viewable in the file manager.

I cannot replicate this bug on my device.

I found the fix. You have to re-enable permissions to photos & videos for the camera apk and google photos apk. The update must have broken the permissions.

v4 contact photos bug?

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..!

Problem deleting photos using gallery.

Currently i am running CM9 final 8/10 and experiencing a problem deleting photos using the gallery app.
1. Set camera Storage: SD Card.
2. Take picture.
3. Open Gallery, delete picture taken in step 2.
4. Using Solid Explorer (or similar) navigate to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera-- picture taken in step 2 is still there.
In fact, after a reboot the picture will re-appear in Gallery. It seems that Gallery is deleting the photo from the media index, but not the actual photo on the SD Card.
Quick Google search brings up similar issues on other devices but no solution. Can someone confirm this issue, and maybe help resolve?

"Cannot display panorama" error on one+ 3T

hello,
i'm having issues with stock camera app.
when ever i take panorama photos and try to view them in gallery (regardless of app used), i get this error message:
"cannot display panorama / the image file does not contain the required panorama metadata".
so far i tried with default gallery app and quickpick. neither of them are able to open the panorama file.
i also tried with google camera app. this seems to take panoramas without issue.
the only time / place i am able to view the panorama files is right after i take them and use the "recent pic" option from within the camera app.
right now i`m on android 7.1.1 with OS 4.1.6. unlock bootloader, TWRP, rooted device, stock OS / kernel.
already tried to clear camera app and gallery app data/cache. also did a wipe of cache / dalvik for entire phone. all in vain.
so .. if anyone has other suggestions ...
thanks.
In QuickPic, don't press on the displayed panorama icon but pinch-to-zoom instead.
Also keep in mind that QuickPic is noticeably slower on Nougat and might take some time to render the photo in full resolution.
The fastest gallery for Nougat at the moment is Simple Gallery, which also shows panoramas without issues for me.

The stock gallery doesn't give me any issues with panoramas, but it's a crappy slow app and I don't use it.
Nothing you can do about this. Something is fundamentally wrong with the way panorama-metadata is stored with their stock camera app.
Also taking panoramas in general is a PITA. I tried numerous shots at the beach last week. All were unusable because of countless stitching errors.
Clearing app data did not help unfortunately and It's not the only thing weird, also taking panoramas with google camera doesn't refocus for each shot.
Even some few OP5 camera reviews mentioned the same behavior. I really hope OnePlus fixes their app eventually.

Google Photos not syncing on G6

have camera and gallery set up to automatically upload to Google Photos when on wi-fi. this works fine: i can see the same images on Photos on my G6 as in a desktop browser, photos.google.com.
but photos.google.com, if i delete a photo, i get a dialogue box -- "Items moved to the bin will be removed from Your Google Photos library, All your synced devices, etc." -- but the photo stays in Google Photos on my G6.
it's as though the phone is synced to upload, but not synced when deleted?
anyone have this issue?

Maybe because it is still in the Gallery App and saved in the device?

dunno what's happening.
- Gallery is showing eight images
- Photos is showing nine images
- photos.google.com is showing six images
i would think that the Photos app and photos.google.com would at least sync, right?

How to recover motion pictures from Google back up or phone ?

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!!!
