When I transfer my pictures from my old phone to the internal storage of the Nexus 4 all of the "Date Taken" info is erased resulting in scrambled pictures in my gallery. When I scroll through them with the bar on the right it shows that the pictures were all taken at the same day.
A little more info, I am going from a sensation with an SD card that has all of my pictures on them. When I simply transfer the DCIM folder to the root of the nexus storage the dates are lost.
Is there a work around for this?
all mine are in tact... I transferred my pics to my computer from my One X and then transferred from the computer to my Nexus 4. I can even sort by date in the gallery and all that info is correct... not sure what is going on to be honest or how to fix... but I just wanted to report that all looks normal on my end.
EDIT: here's screenshot FWIW.

THanks for the response. A little more info to clear up the specific problem.

The attached file shows dates ranging from april 2010 to nov 2012. Makes no sense.

hmmm. interesting. I wonder if they got lost going to the SD card or maybe the phone just behaved differently than my One X. FWIW, I put my pics in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera
Good luck, not sure how to help out!

So for a few days now I've been using the wireless storage function on my G2 to transfer pictures over to my computer. It's usually around 150-200 photos. I use I.E. to browse my wireless storage files, however, there is always one picture missing within the folder, but I can still see the picture on my phone. And I'm not talking about after I transfer my photos over to my computer, I'm talking about inside the network drive (\\192.168.0.XX). I'll attach a few pictures so you can better understand. I've tried to Google the problem, but I've had no success. . This is not a huge problem, it's just annoying when I need to have all of the pictures for sure and then I have to do a man hunt to find out which one is gone. Thanks, all help is much appreciated.
Is it really missing or just miscalculate?
Next time, try to transfer 10 images and see if one missing or not.

Nothing is being transferred. Like I said, it's in the G2 network drive where the photo is missing. Look in the photo I uploaded that's showing the 265 photos being selected, nothing was transferred prior to that screen-grab
EDIT - Also notice the network map in the first photo (\\192.168.0.10\g2\sdcard0\DCIM\100LGDSC)
When I ran out of space in my device I had to change my storage to storage card. Since then I've lost a bunch of pictures I can see them right after I've taken the picture but I can't find them later in the picture gallery

If you are rooted you can give this a shot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete
Gallery will have two Camera folders, one for internal & one for external, atleast thats the way it is on 4.2.2 MF9.
Have you used a file manager to see if the pictures are there & gallery just isn't updating? Could your MicroSD card to your computer to see if the files are there. Would be in DCIM\Camera in SDCard(built in storage) & extSdCard (actual MicroSD Card), long paths are /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera & /storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera respectively.
I found this folder. But the missing pics aren't there
So I switched back to camera for a function. But now I am out of space. When I move the pictures and movies to my sd card the gallery reads them as corrupted. What is wrong?

This didn't work.
Why isn't there much response to this?
It may not be the same cause, but a similar symptom happened on mine. I found out in a roundabout way that my 64GB SanDisk microSD is shot. The card is stuck in readonly mode. It reads fine but cannot write, and the ROM just didn't complain about it and shows stuff from short term cache. Amazon reviews and forum posting showed that there are other owners of the 64GB SanDisk microSD with the same issues, and it was due to the controller going bad.
Plug your microSD to a computer. If you can create a folder on it, then your microSD is still good and the problem is elsewhere. Good luck!
Tried to copy photos from my Note 5 to Nexus 6P however, the date on the photos are off and sometimes unknown. I tried to transfer it wirelessly and through OTG cable but no luck.
What is the correct way to transfer photos without losing its date?
Thanks
Can you reproduce this by copying pictures to other devices or your computer to make sure it's a problem with your Nexus?

Hello Danny,
I tried to copy the photos to my computer then transfer it via cable to Nexus 6P\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera
however, once the pictures/videos are transferred they lose their created date.
do you have another way for me to try ?
Not sure.
As mentioned, are the time records correct when the pics are on your computer? Have you tried to transfer pics to another handset? What about a different folder for the pics because \DCIM\Camera is as you know the original folder for pics taken by the device's camera.
Trial and error might a solution.

Looks like the issue from the photos it self. It got corrupted somehow when i backed it up
Good to hear that you find at least half of the solution.
Maybe you just start messing around with the Google Photos app. Automatic backups are a fine thing to have.
And...please just use inline answer, quoting me everytime just blows the thread up.

why not just use picasa, and eliminate all the hassle of moving.
I'm noticing that I'm building up Image data even though I'm deleting every picture I take off of the device once it's uploaded to the cloud. However when I check the SD card storage the pictures are still there. Thumbnails as well. Hire can I fix this?
Bueller.... Bueller?
So far I've tried deleting data from Photos camera, and media storage to no avail.
I'm thinking it might have to do with the trash holding photos for 60 days before permanently deleting.

Not sure if you've done this, but with newest version of photos, you can go into Settings and select Free Up Space and then it'll look for already uploaded photo to the cloud and remove it from your device. I do this about every 2 weeks to free up the device. I recommend cross reference the photos between app and photos.google.com to make sure. Also have NAS locally to back it up too.
Hello everyone!
I have a problem with the Gallery app: I copied all the content of the SD card to a larger card and now the gallery app shows me the wrong date for some photos. Only a few random pictures.
I checked with another app that reads the data exiff and with this app the dates are correct. I copied the contents of the old sd onto a folder to Windows and then copied it to the new one.
How can I fix these dates?
I have exactly the same with one picture. It show a date of 19-Jan-2038. It was a picture that I cropped, maybe thats why.
