Got a replacement S3 because previous one gave me issues. I had synced my contacts on the old S3 to Google to assure that the transfer would go over fine...I was wrong. After downloading the contacts on the new S3, I realized that the contact photos were very pixelated since they were all high res on the previous phone. And no they weren't linked to any social networking sites nor did any app keep the contact photos synced.
Is there any way to fix this or do I have to manually go through each contact again and update their photos? Is there any way to avoid this pain in the @SS process? I thought Google contacts stored high res photos?
Bump! Does anyone have any advice on this?
Guys regretfully I downloaded the new Google Photos app today. Unfortunately somehow it backed up ALL my Gallery camera photos and now I have very little storage space on my N5.
I've tried deleting photos but the only way I can do it is from the Photos app BUT when I do delete them they are also removed from my Gallery. But I want them to remain in my gallery.
Help please
All photos you had in google drive got downloaded to phone?
I'm so confused right now.
Hi thanks for your reply. I'm confused too. I downloaded the photos app. It began backing up. Then about an hour later I got a message saying it couldn't back up all my photos as my device had run out of enough memory!
I have checked my Gallery app and there are no duplicate photos. I have also deleted the Auto backup folder. And have deleted the photos app. But I still haven't received covered the lost storage.
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?
Solved.
Needed to show hidden files using Solid Explorer, deleted the file called ".nomedia" and alas, all the device folders are now being displayed again in Google Photos!
Hopefully I posted this in the right category. So it used to be that I could easily retrieve old snaps (as long as i haven't logged out of Snapchat) by going to android/data/com.Snapchat.android/cache and then remove the ".nomedia" extension. Seems as tho some updated version of Snapchat has moved these cache files to another location. Does anybody know where I can find them?? Or have another method of retrieving old Snapchats when I have not yet logged out or cleared the cache? Please help!
Hi there,
I am not able to find any photos in QuickPic Gallery cloud app which I have backed app. There is almost 50GB+ and I am unable to view it. I am also trying to access from Web view but there is also nothing showing. I read one XDA thread saying that CM Cloud is taking down their server in April 2017 (but photos were backing up till last week i.e. 28th December 2018) and they informed users to restore their data. but last week I came to know about it and I also didn't get notification in QuickPic Gallery app about the same.
Is there any solution? that will be a big relief. Thanks!!!
I'm facing the same problem. I have around 43GB of photos in there. Now I cannot access too, I didnt know about them terminating their service, else I would have back up first. No notifications or email.
Same here, it's backing up the pictures, but I can't view any of the backed up folders.
My Solution:
1: Go from your Windows PC to https://cloud.cmcm.com and login with your CM Cloud login from QuickPic
2. On top click on the link "How to download photos from QuickPic"
3. Follow the instructions
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
5. done!
hi fehrcomp, thank you so much for sharing. i did login and didnt able to restore from quickpic. it shows : {"ret":-1,"data":{"message":"wrong token","error":5}}
what did i do wrong?
I lost about 3000 pics using Quick Pick and CM Cloud... I log in to the CM Cloud and the pics are not there. If you have a chance, get your pics out of there, quickly!
I'm just downloading my photos as we speak from that **** of a cloud service, as I have recieved notice about CM shutting it down (and it should).
Note that in order to see your pictures, you have to login into https://cloud.cmcm.com/p/disk/ and look for a folder called CM Qickpic, and in that folder theres a folder called "Original Photos". All my photos are there, and I'm using their even more **** of a tool to download it...
Hope you guys get your precious stuff and get the hell out of there ASAP!
P.S.- Anyone already using a similar (prefferably more stable and trusted) service? I'm syncing my stuff on Google Photo at this moment...
Best of luck!
@fehrcomp
4. Rename the downloaded fotos with an exif-tool
How did you do this? my exif seems to be deleted/incorrect for some pics
Already done,all my pics was downloaded followed these guide above.... thanks guys.
@tintumat
I had correct exif data. Otherwhise you could not use a exif tool.
@keeekeee
You tried an other browser?
Awesome, glad to hear!
Can anyone help in this ?
i have 10 years of photos there 134gb cannot access them, the only way that worked for me but still suffering was installing bluestack on my PC and then install older version of quickpic, login and then i see everything i started to download the pictures and now im stuck because bluestack allows only 65gb of storage and im still half way restoring, no luck through their ****ty website!
If anyone can help in this will be appreciated.
I can't even login, when I use the link provided to login from a computer I get "You have logged out, please log in again". The pw is correct because when I am using a bogus pw (for testing) it actually shows me that the email or pw is incorrect. How can I login? I even reset my pw 2 times, but I can't login. On the phone it works, I see the pictures, but I cannot download them (restore failed).
I have a total of 4.9 TB of storage at cm cloud, whereas the used space is about 5 GB, but In cloud there are only 19 photos remaining.
I backed up all the data from the cloud before the service shut down but I was curious if they deleted our data, and they didn't, and also there is no option to delete your photos.
