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 am running windows 7 and when i take pics from my camera on mytouch 4g it is
makeing duplicate copies of the same pic i just took. When i transfer to my computer it shows up as a two different resolutions of same pic. So i went to astro file manager to find where is it saving two different copies of the same pic. This is what i found. sdcard/DCIM/.thumnails and 100media. Why is the phone saving under thumnails and 100media idk. Plz someone help. I already did hard reset. Also i call tech support and they don't know why is my phone doing this.
Every device, even your PC, creates thumbnails in order to display the pics quickly and seamlessly at a resolution that is more manageable than 5 MP. Did you not know the purpose of a thumbnail?
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?
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)
Hi All,
Took part in a 17 mile run and took a bunch of photos. Even posted one of the photos on Instagram. I ran with the phone in a belt pouch with Runkeeper and Strava running. At the end of the run, I found a whole bunch of apps open and swiped them closed(this has happened in the past due to the phone being bounced/rubbed around while running. Runkeeper and Stava worked fine and saved my run. When I went to check my photos that I had taken, they were all gone from Google Photos and my Camera gallery except in Google Photos, the IG photo was saved.
What happened? And is there any way of recovering them? I disabled sync and have not turned on the wifi on the phone to prevent the phone from overwriting anything that may still be in memory. The phone is unrooted. I have tried Wondershare Dr.Fone for ?Androiid with no success and it suggests to root the phone. I really would like to recover these photos if possibly.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Anyway to get the Nexus 6P to show as a drive? Most of the recovery programs are looking for drives and only my C: (hard drive is showing) though my 6P is connected by USB MTP.
fwiw - I noticed using Windows Explorer in the DCIM/Camera foldder there are some photos(look like just thumbnails based on size) from yesterday but when viewing them, they are actually thumbnails/pics from Friday though the date stamp was 2/27. Wonder if things are also corrupted.
Remembered that Android does not allow to be recognized as a USB Mass Storage Device. I found this program that allows you to map a MTP device as a Virtual Drive - http://www.mtpdrive.com/download.html
So far, Programs do not recognize the drive but Windows Explorer does.
It won't help you with this situation, but Dumpster is a fantastic app to protect yourself going forward.
^this!
Thanks, will install later on. Actually, I noticed a number of photos that I took the night before are missing from the camera gallery also but those were uploaded to Google photos.
Still don't understand how photos could have been deleted.
I was on holiday for 3 weeks and using s10+ to take a lot of photo but just before the holiday finish I find that all the photo taken before June are all gone. All I have left with are the photos taking since June 1st. I look at the recycle bin but there is nothing. Also tried unmount and remount the sd card but it doesn't help either.
There are some other reports on the internet for the same issue. I am just wondering does anyone here has a clue on how to get the missing photo back?
Just a thought but check your Google photos if they are there perhaps? Google photos sometimes deletes pics from your phone after uploading them to the cloud.
