The Moto Hasselblad Mod has a serious bug that when GPS tag is turned on, any photo taken by the Hasselblad Mod will be attached with a random GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp, and no GPS coordinates at all (Maybe the one I have is faulty, I don't have another Hasselblad Mod to test with).
Google Photos(The default gallary for Moto Z phones) is using GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp prior to other date time in EXIF which will resulting photos appears years early or in far far away future.
This bug has already been reported(see links below) a long time ago and never got fixed. So I downloaded Visual Studio and by a lot of Googling and made this program.

I tried to update date & time on mobile but after the date & time is updated Google Photos thinks this is a new photo and will upload a new copy of the photo at correct date & time, but still leave the old uploaded copy in library(so you got 2 same photos, at different time). So I guess I can only copy all photos to computer and make it right on the computer, and delete them on mobile, sadly(so at least there will not be any photos in 1980s or 2230s on my mobile)
This program will scan all jpg files by Hasselblad Mod, read the DateTimeOriginal from EXIF and use it to update GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp.
I don't know how to use Visual Studio or C# or Windows Forms, this program is build with a lot Googling & readings on MSDN in 1 day, so it might have bugs that I don't know yet. !!!!!!!!!MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!

Never made that correlation - it's been bugging me for over a year as to why I have pictures that never show up correctly, and mess up selection in applications because the picker shows recent.
What exactly is your application doing (since it got flagged by Chrome)?
It reads DateTimeOriginal from photo's EXIF and use it to update GPSDateStamp & GPSTimeStamp. Not sure why Chrome flags it, but you can always use www.virustotal.com to scan it

HI, For the HTC Album, how come it doesn't show pictures in order? The pictures are sharp and the scrolling is smooth but I just won't show them in the correct order. I am currently trying to read a comic and it is easy enough to read but the pages are all out of order even though they are named in order,001, 002, 003, etc. Is there any reg setting I can change to fix this? I found a thread with a band-aid fix since the album arranges pictures by date not by name, I re-dates them according to the name, although for me it never seems to work 100% correctly. So since this will probably never be fixed does anybody have any suggestion for a good photo viewer alternative that is freeware.
Hey,
I found several post about the gallery image order, but i think I've found a new problem...
I started after i deleted the app data for the gallery (because of another bug, where it doesn't show all of whatsapp videos), and my mistake was i didn't back it up with titanium backup first...
After the deletion, it appears that while most of the images are in the correct order, the panorama images are messed up, not completely, they are still close to their old location, but moved a couple of spots...
i tried debugging it, and i think that the cause is that the panorama files don't have the data taken exif tag... (same problem as with the video files)
I will try to add the tag myself and see if it works, but i was wondering if maybe it wasn't there for a reason? i know the files are not standard jpeg...
I would be happy for some input or some ideas from someone with more experience!
Any other ideas what to do...
It's a bit annoying

Update
It seems that the time data tag is written...
I thought it didn't because windows 7 didn't manage to read it, which might indicate the real problem.
Anyway, i've used ExifTool on 2 pictures taken one after the other, one of them is panorama and the other is a normal picture.
They both have correct exif tags and appear in the correct order, but what i did find out is that the tag "Exif Tag Order" is different, it is "little endian" for the panorama and "big endian" for the normal picture, other than that they are the same...
I'm clueless
I'm attaching links to my pictures, can someone try to help me debug it?
Picture a
Picture b (panorama)
Picture c
The pictures were taken in the above order, but picture c appears in the gallery between a & b (with more pictures).
EDIT - Forgot to mention, I've installed QuickPic to see what it does.
QuickPic, when told to sort by date, put all of the movies first (because they don't have exif, annoying problem itself), then all of the panorama pictures (in the correct relative order), then the normal pictures (again, in the correct relative order)
So there is some problem with the different tags!
err!
Hi all,
So here is what my concern is.. I have backed up my photos on Google photos cloud.. and I want to reduce the file size of the photos on my zuk z2. I tried GOM saver and all in one toolbox image optimiser.. and what they do is they create new optimised image file. So when I open my gallery - or Google photos , every photo shows up in "today" as they got created today by optimising app। And it's all shuffled up and random. To fix this I had to remove all photos from my device and download from cloud again.
Can anyone suggest me ?
Inputs will be appreciated
Thanks

Check if the optimized picture has any EXIF data(date and time when the picture was taken), maybe then you have a chance to fix it. I use QuickPic app and it gives and option to fix the date. Check the attached screenshot
Okay thanks for the suggestion. Will try to fetch date and time by exif.

Hi..
I tried what was suggested.
I compressed 3 of my photos using all in one toolbox.
They started showing up at the top of my photos list as the optimised files got created today.
I went into quick pic - I fixed the date of those photos.
They still show that they're created today..
Thank you for your input though.
I am open to any more suggestions please.

Every pic you click will have an EXIF data. The app you are using to compress the picture is not replicating the EXIF Data (only photo taken time and date is required) of original pic to the new compressed pic.
QuickPic can only fix this if the EXIF data has proper date.
My suggestion would be, try a different app to compress the pictures which saves some of the EXIF data.
P.S. I have no idea if any Android app is capable of doing it. Long back I used to have some software(forgot the name) in Windows which gets the work done.

Okay agreed.
I searched alot but was not able to find an app which retains the exif data. We can manually change the exif but that'll be a lot of effort for just saving a little space.
Thanks though.
Thread can be closed.
Simply enable high quality upload setting instead of original.
Google photos will automatically resize without quality or exif data lost.
Also u will get unlimited storage on this setting
Hi, all. Hope you're doing well.
I've come across this issue where:
JPEG images exported from Capture One Pro 12 and copied to the internal storage of my OnePlus 7T refuse to show up in the gallery (or rather mediastore refuses to pick them up it seems), but PNG images exported from COP 12 show up without a problem.
I've tried moving them around into different folders with file management apps.
I've tried opening them up with the gallery app from the file manager.
I've tried refreshing media storage with apps (which did show me that it had indeed found the missing images and it told me that it had added them into mediastore), but no luck with those.
It happened to me before, an entire folder of JPEG images refused to show up, and they still are missing. And all the PNG files that I copied from my computer showed up just fine. So I tried exporting PNGs from COP 12, and they showed up immediately.
Any idea how this could happen? Can anyone repeat this case reliably or is it just me?
Many thanks!
And stay safe.
Check for the jpeg format when saving in C1
Hello,
I just got another S22 running android 12. I'm moving the photographs from the microSD card in the S10e (obviously they eliminated the SD card opening in the S22) to the S22. I did it first utilizing SmartSwitch however it changed every one of the Modified dates to now. So then, at that point, I took a stab at compressing the records, moving the compress to the S22 and unfastening it utilizing Files application from Google. Again it changed the dates to now despite the fact that inside the compress document the dates were all right. Any thoughts here how to keep up with time/date stamps?
Much appreciated,
Zane Willer

How to Transfer Photos between Android Devices Without Losing Timestamps
If you like to keep your photos organized by the date they were taken, you may encounter an annoying issue regarding dates. Specifically, the timestamps
appuals.com
A point to note is the camera app appears to name files with a timestamp based on the STARTING time. Some transferring programs (like Photo-Sync) can send using just the filename, but others may use the STOPPING timestamp. As in, start a 5 minute video recording today at 9am and the FILENAME will say "20220506_0900.mpg" but anything using the metadata will name it "20220506_0905.mpg". Most do not seem to offer a way to get the starting timestamp for this sort of thing.
I just ran into this transferring some pictures between several (family) devices, one of which stored with files named liked "IMG_XXXXX". The transferring options only offered the ENDING timestamp for creating a filename template. Some of the pix had been taken on an Android with the starting timestamp, but when transferred onto an IOS device ended up with an IMG_XXXX format. Transferring them BACK resulted in duplicates due to the start vs end timestamp. So, yeah, that's a hassle. I'll use the windows TreeSize program to help search and remove the duplicates but, ugh, more work...
I may have to dig into writing some code that renames start-based files to end-based recording timestamps.
Upside is Photo-Sync DOES preserve the timestamps on the files themselves.
