Seriously Google, I was dealing with this on my previous phone, but I was running unofficial CM so I always assumed it was Sony's fault, but to have to rotate my images 270° in Instagram, and have portrait pictures show up in landscape AND stretched when sent via MMS is VERY annoying.
The only solutions I have found are to edit the images in Snapseed and save them to get the orientation data stored correctly, use the Take Photo option to attach the image in Hangouts, or use the Instagram camera. I have the same issue with Tweetings, but not with Twitter, Facebook works well, and I'm sure others will fail.
I'm more inclined to blame the apps, but in that case, Hangouts is to blame, it should be detecting the orientation properly, especially when it looks just fine in my conversation window.

Is there a way to view geotagged photos send though sms (from my htc to someone else's phone) with a map or link to a map at all? If this is only on certain phones using a certain application then I'd be fine with that. I just want some more info on this since I've unlocked the geotag option on my HTC Touch Pro. Thanks

I would bet that sending a picture via SMS/MMS strips out any EXIF as it resizes it etc.
This is a bit roundabout, but perhaps you can upload the pictures to Flickr and they can view it from there? If you have it turned on Flickr, it'll automagically geocode the images if they have GPS tags in them.
TrackMe can also upload photos and the user can see them from the website.
Perhaps someone will have other ideas.
Yea I saw those options but I went with web picasa for the web portion (since it's tied directly to google for gmaps and all). Too bad there doesn't seem to be an app. that can just sms/mms to someone where they can open the pic and have a link directly to the spot on mobile google maps.

I'm fed up. 2 Android revisions, and no fix. And no third party fix I can find that doesn't require HTC Sense.

Contact pictures get resized to 96x96 when you sync with Google. Then the phone tries to display them at 210x210 when you get an incoming call. Not only is this stupid, it looks horrible.
There is no way to force the phone to STORE A LOCAL, HIGH-RES VERSION of your contact images (whether they came from Facebook, 5 MP cam built in, or a Canon 7D) because the sync with Google will overwrite them with the crappy 96x96 that Google Contacts uses. Yes, I understand all of these services are free, but there are at least a dozen more bug reports like mine up there.
I understand I can disable Google Sync. I am not going to disable Google Sync, and then MANUALLY set all of my contact images. Because as soon as I add a contact or make some change, I will want to sync, and wham-o, all the pictures are back to 96x96.
I understand there's some work around with Sense that allows you to create a "Phone" contact, set the high-res picture there, and then link it to any relevant contacts. I don't have Sense, I'm using CM6 on an N1, and I don't want to use Sense. It should work out of the damn box.
Any ideas?
+1 on that issue, it really annoys me to see pixalated contacts...

1. I've transferred a bunch of my pictures over to my Pixel, but some of the photos seem to be completely out of order. Is there any way to fix this? I'm assuming it's something with the metadata, but I'm far from an expert there... it's claiming all the photos are from "today". This is only in a few of my folders, my Instagram photos for instance seem to be in the proper order while others are a complete clusterf*ck.
2. Is it possible to curate what's in the main photo stream? I'm used to the main gallery on my previous phones being from the camera with the ability to have other folders. I'd rather not have dirty pictures showing up in my main stream, but it'd be nice to not have to use a third party gallery app.
3. I don't see notification counters on my apps like I did on my S6 Edge. Is that just a Pixel Launcher thing? Can that be changed?
Thanks
The search function no longer groups photos by face or reconized objects. And new photos aren't added to the ones already recognized. Also, the related pictures option is gone too. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Edit: Solved. If anyone's in the same situation, what worked for me is searching for .thumbnail folders (make sure "show hidden files" or similar is enabled in your file browser), and deleting their content. Google photos will then recreate the thumbnails when you next open it.
Hello friends.
Ever since a few days, I've been having the strangest of problems with my pixel 4xl under android 10:
Basically, the thumbnails or previews of my pictures do not match the picture itself.
For example, if I want to send an image to a whatsapp contact, or attach one to an email I'm composing or whatever, the preview or thumbnail that I'm shown is that of a much older and long deleted image. Pressing the miniature instantly shows me the correct picture, but if I press the back button, I'm again presented with something that had nothing to do with that particular photo.
Hope this makes sense.
This happens both in the Google photos app and third party apps such as whatsapp.
The only step I can think of doing to correct it is deleting storage and cache of my Media Storage, but that didn't help.
Can anyone shed some light on the matter?
Best regards!
