google photos wont delete from SD card now.

Out of the blue, my google photos app wont delete from my SD card anymore. Says: Can't delete item. Photos doesn't have access to delete item on your sd card. Go to the gallery app to continue deleting.

I am on Alliance V8 for a while now. No updates or patches installed between when it worked and when it didn't. My guess is that its the app but is there a way around this?

Automatically backup photos (with some privacy)

Hello everybody, i've used Dropbox and Onedrive in the past to backup my photos but i have serious privacy concerns about those services

Is there a good app to automatically backup photos in a safe way?

Recovering photos with a PIN

Tl;Dr question: will the stock Android recovery also clear the internal storage(more importantly, photos)?

I work at a phone store. A customers baby set a PIN on his Note 3, and he's freaking out because he has no backup of the photos of said baby. He gave me his Google account and password, Device Manager is able to send a message to the phone, but not change the PIN. There is no option for "Forgot Password?" on the lockscreen to sign in with the account. Pictures are not accessible over USB.

We could do a factory reset, but I don't know if stock recovery clears the internal storage. The guy should have had it backed up, but I feel bad that he's going to lose 1+ year of baby photos. Hes so desperate he offered 0 if we could get the photos, I don't even care about the money though, I just feel bad for him :(

Photos and video saved on sd card are corrupted

Hi to all. I have very frustrating problem on my Flex 2 H955 v15a 5.1.1 no root.
When i make a foto or record a video and i choose to save them on sd card, at the beginning everything is fine. But in some time when i want to see them on gallery or want to copy them to computer or other phone, all photos or video are corrupted and and unreadable (gray square in the place of photo or video). i Have checked this problem on 3 sd cards (difrent manufacturers, capacity and calsses) and all are the same. All sd cards are new, and work fine on the computer and other platforms like tablets or phones. I have tried different formats and settings but problem are still remains. Maby someone have some fix for that ? Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. There is no problem when i chose to save them on internal storage, only with the sd cards.

raw photos?

Can somebody confirm here that xperia z3+ can capture raw photos? The device comes with camera2 api support but I never heard it can capture raw photos before

LG G3 some photos are not saved (missing photos)

I've noticed that some photos that I clearly remember taking are not saved. It's something that occurs at ~1% of times (subjective figure). Has anyone noticed this behavior?
Phone & setting specs:

• LG G3 (LG-D855), 32 Gb internal memory, Android 5.0 (Kernel 3.4.0)


• Photos are saved to internal memory


• Internal memory is crypted using LG Security settings (Encrypt Phone)


• I use mostly apps that are secure

It's very difficult to document this problem. It happens from time to time (it's not very frequent), but sometimes I lose important pics.

recover photos from internal memory

My internal memory became full and once i switched off and then on the phone, it just shows yu screen followed by only the "cyanogen" screen. When contacted the customer care they said i need to do a hard reset and that i would lose all my data. Is there any means to recover my photos from internal memory? Kindly let me know how to recover the data. Thanks!!

[CM12.1] Doesn't Recognize Photos on SD Card

I am running CM12.1 (08/14/15).

My old photos do not transfer onto the external SD card. It's a new Samsung 64GB and I transferred the photos from my computer running Windows 7. I left the formatting alone on the Samsung (FAT32).

The files transfer to the card without issue. The pictures show up according to my computer. I unplug the USB cable assuming all photos transferred. I walk away. The next day, I take a look, the gallery shows black squares. ES File Explorer shows the photo files as unreadable.

I tried re-transferring several times, it ends up the same way. HELP!

Accidentally deleted photos, is it possible to bring them back after root?

Hi!

As the title says, photos have been accidentally deleted from a Galaxy S3 (i9300). I have read that it is possible to bring back photos with DIskDigger if I have a rooted phone. Unfortunately, the phone is not rooted yet, so I would like that if I root the phone now, will it be possible then to recover my photos? Do you have any experience of photo recovery? Is it possible even?

And one more question: Is this the good process of the root? http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys3-i9...e-howto-521949
As far as I think It won't delete my memory, so the photo recovery would be applicable?

Thanks in advance!

Can't edit or delete photos from SD card

I can take pictures and save to my SD card, but Google photos won't let me delete them, says I need to go to gallery. I go to gallery and I can delete them fine.

But neither gallery or Google photos will let me save my edits. Says "unable to save".

Anyone else?

How to delete all photos on Amazon Fire Phone?

I have several hundred pix on my Fire Phone and can't figure out how to delete them all at once - only one-by-one. Does anyone here know how? I can't find anything elsewhere on the net.

permanent downgrade of Google photos

Hey I saw in a different thread on how to downgrade to an old version of Google photos because quite frankly the new update is rubbish! I done this and it seemed the problem was solved but after re loading the app it is now not giving me an option to use it without upgrading to the new version. Is there anyway around this? I've turned off the auto updates so that's not an issue. I just don't want the new version as I loved the old one for editing photos.

Backup system data like contacts and photos?

I know titanium backup is great for user apps. But what about system data like contacts, photos and SMS which isn't synced to a Google account. What's the best way to backup and restore these for installing a custom rom.

Media (Photos) on my device isn't scanning

Everything has been fine with Google Photos for me until recently other folders containing photos from apps like VSCO Cam other apps has disappeared from the "Device Folders" section of the app. As I said, these were all displayed until the last few days. I have no idea what happened. I use Solid Explorer and I can see the photos are all still on my phone so it's not like they've been deleted. Anyone come across this issue or would know how I can fix it? I've tried clearing the data/cache of the Photos app and that didn't work. I also tried clearing the cache of Media Storage but that didn't correct the problem either. I'm not sure what to do.

Anyone else had a similar issue or know how to resolve it?
