If you transferred your data, it remembers what version you were on using your old phone. Just uninstall the update and then update it and it will update it to the pixel version and you will have it.

I use standard contacts application. Now it can store hd images for contacts, starting from 4.1.2 as I remember.

hmmm.... thanks. Maybe google still has my old pics saved. i'll try and go through and update them all then. thanks again.
Thank you!!
Of course the phone is rooted and I deleted a bunch of nonsense, but I don't have an option to edit photos in the stock gallery app.
I had pixlr express installed and when I touch the edit icon, it launches that app. If an editing app is not installed, I don't get any edit icon.
Anybody know what I'm missing? Perhaps what it was that was deleted, maybe; the apk responsible for editing photos?
Please and thank you.

My friend you have deleted Google+(Or Photos app) that provided you the default editing feature. Reinstall/enable/defrost it and you will again have the stock pic editor back!

Really? Google+? I kept the stock gallery and camera. But google+ is responsible for stock photo editing? Man, Android is weird these days, I'll tell ya. Interesting, I'll look through the folder of deleted apk's and hopefully something looks like what I need. If that's the case however, I'll live without g+ or that silly picasa (or whatever) application.
Thanks!

It's definitely Google+ that gives you the editing option from within the stock gallery. I simply downloaded it from the Play Store and the editing options returned. I them hid G+ from my app drawer since I don't actually use the app.

See, I have the same issue, but google photos takes over the stock editor which was way better than google photos... Then when u uninstall google photos, it takes away the stock lg editor. I cant agree with the above answers, because i use and sell this phone to hundreds of people, several have had the same issue. I dont want google photos editor, just the awesome lg one...

As long as you're logged into the same Google account they will download automatically.

Same account but they don't download.. how can i start that manually?
First, did you upload the pics from your previous device? Go into photos and in the upper left hand corner are three horizontal bars. Click on that, then go to settings and make sure back up & sync is on.

Yes if full of photos.. yes sync is up, i see photos but they aren't stored on my device as when i click on my device folders those are empty
Sync only uploads them to photos. it does not DL any. You can download them only one at a time with the Android app by viewing a photo and than tapping the three dots. Otherwise view them from the cloud. On a PC you can create a downloadable zip of whatever ones you want and then copy those to your phone. But they may end up as dups on your phone as it may get confused with the one on your SD card and the one on photos since it didn't originally upload the exact on on the SD card. Complete PITA.

Yeah, it would be a nice option especially if you could mark certain photos in bulk to come down over Wi-Fi. But it is contrary to Google's movement to all cloud based content and devices with non-expandable storage. That said they let you pin music from Google play music so why not the same for photo albums.
Yeah it kind of defeats the purpose of Google Photos cloud storage if you go for trying to download a whole bunch of them to your device. I've restored my 5X once just to start off fresh and it actually felt refreshing not to worry about my locally store pics getting cleared.
I do agree that pinning cloud albums would be nice to do for offline viewing just like Google Play Music.

Every time I take photos in portrait mode it creates a folder just for the two pictures. Every time. Anyone notice it

Yes. I found your thread because I'm looking to find a way to turn this off. It makes it tedious to view the photos from a third-party app or to copy the photos to your desktop.

Why don't you use a Gallery like Google Photos or QuickPic ?
So you can select the pictures that you want and then click on share.

Quick Pic shows me the folders. And, this doesn't help at all when transferring to the desktop. Also, when you delete a photo, the empty folder remains. It was not at all well thought out or tested with regular people.

If I remember well, you could select to display only the pictures in Quickpic, I'm not sure though. I will check this once back home.

This is part of Google messages. When you select to add a photo and click the icon to go into your folders to look. You can't use photos on Google messages to select what you want
I created a post on the Pixel Forum about this exact issue. I am also using Quickpic to move the portrait folders into the default camera gallery.
Camera: Portrait Mode creates individual folders for every Portrait Mode photo taken
Yes I hate this, what a stupid way to organize portrait mode pics.
They need to fix this, its a deal breaker for me... not worth having it this way just creates a big mess

This bugged me so I tried numerous gallery apps. Only Google photos handles portrait shots properly.

It's not a problem with Google Messages, it's a problem with how you're using the software.
When you're getting to the Document Chooser, you're selecting "Images" which brings up a folder view. Instead of doing that, press "Photos" from further down on the left and you'll see a proper gallery view.
While it's annoying to use in QuickPic, if anything the new organization structure forced me to realize that the way I was accessing images in the software was actually inefficient all along and I just never realized it, and I've started using Photos for all of my snapped photos and QuickPic for all the rest (with the Camera folder hidden).
Anybody got solution ?
I just use Tasker shell commands to move files around to where I want them to be.
In this case, I have it set to move the two images into a folder of my choosing, and then delete the now empty folders. Gotta love Tasker lol
Good idea!

Could you elaborate? How do you have it set up to do this? I can't work out how to create the correct task to do this...

Hey everyone, I got a strange email about my Google photos account being out of storage. It says in order to continue backing up my photos at original quality I need to buy more storage. The Pixel 2 XL has free unlimited backup of original quality photos. The only other device set to backup my photos is my Shield K1 tablet, and I double checked that it is set to the free "high quality" option. The last device I had uploading original quality photos was my Nexus 5X, and it isn't even listed in my Google account anymore.
Has anyone else received an email like this from Google? I never did while using my OG Pixel, and I've been using my 2xl since October 28 with no problem.
Here's the screenshot of the email.

Are you using more than one Google account? The first time I activated Photos backup on my P2XL, I got the unlimited storage offer notification and activated it. Call Google and get it sorted.... may be because you were an "early adopter".

Thanks, I only have 1 Google account linked to the phone, and in the photos app it says it's backing up the full resolution photos. So, I'm not really sure why they sent the email. Is there any way of knowing if my photos are in fact getting uploaded as originals?

Download a few and compare with those in your DCIM folder? Mine are. Videos, too.

Have you ever looked at Google Drive under Drive storage where the 17 GB are occupied.

In Google Photos, go to Settings - Back Up & Sync. Does it say something like "Photos & Videos uploaded from your Pixel before <date> get unlimited free storage at Original quality?"
