I'm wondering if any one has a way to build the pano file from the 42 jpgs in the cache folder?
Received my Nexus 10 last week. I have taken several photospheres without a problem. The last one I took the tablet turned off before the pano file was saved. I'm including the session.meta file so you can see how far the process went before the tablet was powered off.
Session.meta:
first_photo_time,1354850339251
last_photo_time,1354850558961
source_photos_count,42
pose_heading,-7
Thanks in advance for any solutions!
Update and Storage Tip
I down loaded a trial version of PTGUI in an attempt to stitch together the files in the "panorama_sessions" folder. PTGUI is unable to create the panorama due to low contrast in the images - I took this at night of the lights at the Oakland Zoo known as Zoo Lights. Ned less to say several of the images had no detail at all so I"m pretty sure this is why it failed to make the photosphere.
While doing this research I have noticed that when you delete the photosphere from the Gallery viewer it does not delete the up to 42 photos in the corresponding "panorama_sessions" folder. Over time if you take a lot of photosphere images this could consume a significant amount of memory. Is this a bug that should be reported to the developers?

Hello,
For some reason all my album tumbnails are corrupted. Meaning the picture on the album folder is full of colored lines, sometimes the whole picture, sometimes half a picture corupt.
Anyone any idea how to restore the images on my album tumbnails?
Do you mean when you scroll to 'Pics & Vids' then click 'Albums' and view the camera shots in thumbnail view?
I have this same problem too - it has only happened recently after I deleted the album cache on my device as I was running low on memory.
As soon as I went back into my Albums, the cache file size would obviously start increasing again, but only the first 10 or 15 images in the thumbnail view now display properly, the rest appear black with the coloured lines running across like you mentioned
At first thought it might be a memory issue and it couldn't handle saving too many thumbnails, but I have since freed up some more memory (50+meg) by deleting Google Maps, Opera cache etc and still have the issue so cant be that.
Hopefully someone else can be more helpful
Same issue idd...
Anyone know a solution for this?
H all,
I just plugged my Note 3 into my PC to transfer some WhatsApp pictures. I go to The WA images folder and notice that some (the majority) of photos from recently are missing. Instead there are photos taken weeks ago but they 'newer' dates.
An example.. I have an image called "IMG-20140819-WA0017" but this has the thumbnail of the image I received months ago which is called "IMG-20140628-WA0075". The one dated yesterday will not open either "Windows photo viewer will not open.."
Each time I refresh the folder on Windows I can have different results, images will hide/show, older images will show up again.. its a massive mess.
I just got sent a picture of a car. The folder thumbnail on my PC is the car. I go into "resources" under properties on the image and it says "Thumbnail" and the image isn't a car. I open the picture, it loads and shows the wrong image ??
I hope this makes some sense.. has anyone experienced something similar before?
Got my 6P yesterday and getting it set up. I Have an issue I just can't seem to get around easily. I have all my pics from my last phone stored on my computer. If I copy those pics to the internal storage of my new phone google photos will create duplicates correct? If so how can I avoid this? I'm sure I am overlooking something. Thanks
I think it intelligently skips dupes based on file name and timestamp info. I had Google Photos on my Nexus 6 and loaded it onto my 6p to get access to all the old ones. I then remembered that I had a ton of photos in Dropbox and Copy with their respective photo backup options from multiple years on old phones (before Google Photos existed). I went on my PC and downloaded ALL of them (like 3,000 photos) then uploaded via Google Photos web. Some of those were already in there for sure, and it does not appear there are duplicates. I would try it with a small test that you know for sure is in there and see if it dupes, and if it doesn't, just upload from PC. No need to move to your phone first.
I used Chrome and I just dragged and dropped the photos onto the Google Photos tab and it uploaded. I let it run overnight and it did almost 2,000 photos in one shot, just took a while.

Thanks, that kinda worked. I disabled backup before copying the pics to my phone just in case it started backing things up. It did appear there were many duplicates but it was easy to see what was a duplicate bu the not backed up icon in the pics. Once I removed them I turned back up back on. Minor inconvenience.
I noticed the other day that I was missing some photos after transferring my pictures from my Nexus 6P to my Mac via Android File Transfer. I didn't understand what was happening at first until I realized the missing photos are part of bursts that I took. Below are some screenshots of samples I just took today.

I usually use ES File Explorer, but I decided to take a screenshot with the built-in explorer. In any case, ES shows the same thing. In this screenshot you can see all 8 of the burst photos.

This screenshot shows only one of the 8 photos is visible in Android File Transfer.

This shows my burst settings with smart burst off. I know it shouldn't matter because if it was on, I wouldn't be able to see the photos in file explorer in the first place. But in the past, when I asked similar questions people did ask if I had smart burst on.

I hope someone can help because besides this being a significant bug, I have already lost several precious photos that can't be recovered and hope to avoid it in the future. Thanks in advance.
I'm hoping someone can help me.
For no explainable reason on my part, all my photos have disappeared. I can not see any photos in gallery or Google photos. I can however located photos that I took with my camera in DCIM Folder, however these don't show up in either photo app. I have tried restating and clearing gallery cache etc I have even tried restoring using smart switch to an earlier backup however the problem still exists.
Any clues what's going on?
Update: for some odd reason my phone was filled with ".nomedia" files. I deleted them all, restarted my phone and ran an app called "Media Re.Scan" and they magically reappeared. However only camera photos have reappeared. Other media has not, but I'm not sure they were visible to begin with. I would really appreciate if someone has a theory for this.
Update 2: Don't delete all .nomedia files as this will cause all jpeg files to show up in your gallery including system files and apps etc that have images. Instead only delete .nomedia files found in your photos folder and folders you want to appear in gallery etc. Make sure show hidden files is selected to find these files in the first place. I used ES file Explorer Pro.

seeing the same problem in s8
i just got samsung s8 recently. i am new to the samsung phone but i am seeing the exact same problem. i see pictures i took from earlier today and a few fays ago just magically disapper. I have tried multiple things like deleting the cache, data, using quick pro, cut and paste the dscim in a new folder, deleting the .nomedia but i CANNOT make those missing pictures reappear anywhere. Anyone else who ran into this and maybe have fixed the problem?
I'm having the same problem on my S8...taking new pics & downloading pics/gifs then they disappear out of nowhere the next day or so. Just started happening after the last software update (4/3/18). Not sure why or how to recover them. I've had my phone since April 2017 & it's never done this before.
Photos corrupted
Hi guys,
sorry for resuming this post.
Happened this summer and never before on my SM-G935F ITV smartphone, never rooted and stock rom (Android 8).
I loose all the latest photos, or better they are on the card but the thumbnails are grey, I tried to open them with an hex editor and I discovered they are all filled by 0x0.
I used to save them directly on a SD from Huawei 256Gb, scanned and works perfectly.
The only dubt I have is the number of photos saved into the dcim folder, they are over 2048...magic number!
Once I moved the photos in another folder I can take the photos again as usual...
It's just to know if I discovered a bug or what...
Any one with this issue?
Thanks, Pier
