Google photo can't remove synced photos from the phone - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

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?

Where I can find apk for that gcam?

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).

No ideas. Do a factory reset, else format and wipe and apply fresh stock rom.

Google Photos last picture bug?

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

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:

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.

Photo Gallery App?

I see that there is no stock gallery app on this phone. Looks like Google wants you to solely use photos. I almost don't mind, but, I'd really like to manage the pictures and videos that are saved to my phone. Does Google still have one that I can grab even with an apk online? If not, what do you guys and gals recommend?
Please and thanks!

Still using QuickPic. I really like the built in crop/resize editor, fits right into my workflow.
People slam Quickpic because they got bought from some shady company but I haven't seen the app do anything bad.
Check out Piktures:

The built-in photos app will let you manage your saved pictures/videos on the device. What exactly is the issue?

I think the problem is people moving to Google phone after being with phones by LG or Samsung. Not sure when Google officially made the switch over to Photos, but it definitely was around in 2015. When I got the Nexus 6P, I noticed it didn't have a stock gallery app, so it was extremely weird for me at first.

My issue with Google Photos is that I cannot change default view to device folders. I have to swipe to select everytime I use photos app. It results in mobile data usage as default view is photos that are in cloud storage.

Well, that is true. It defaults to a 'view' mode that sorts each picture by day. However, I have the cloud feature disabled for me, so no data usage. Photos behavior has always been that 'view' mode though.

People are not blinded by this! It is the fack that you are unable to access your album's w/ 1 click & the grid style layout is favorable! And do not touch Google photos if you don't want to bring every photo in existence to your device...but you are unable to force stop & still be able to take a pic! I'll say it again... Google's ability to store & display albums is still lacking.

Welcome to the forums and bringing back a thread that is soon to be ONE year old! [emoji112][emoji112][emoji112]
I actually love being able to see all the pics I've ever taken with Google Photos. That's why I've uploaded pics even from old point and shoot cameras I had. And the ability to search by person, places, or things is amazing.

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.

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:
