So I recently got home wifi from TWC and have been doing some heavy YouTube browsing from the YouTube app. I went to check just how much data I had used and seen YouTube is not the heavesist usage app in data usage. It is the Google Camera App and it has used almost 5.60 GB?! I would be at ease if it was YouTube but not Google Camera. Can anyone shed some light on what is happening so I can have some peace of mind!?
Bug?
It maybe a bug. I don't have that problem though. Maybe your Camera app is not on the latest version. Try to update it.

Version is definitely the latest, as for a bug I wouldn't rule that out. I noticed the usage is in foreground meaning I'm using it but the thing is I haven't used the app once since I reinstalled CM12.1 and that's been a few days ago. The data usage is basically new. Also I really don't see any ways it could use data because I use AOSP Gallery so its not Google Drive backing up Google Photos.
You should probably make that question to the CM team.

Just switched from victory to lithium and there is no media gallery. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to download one from the market. Or if someone could post a link for a good gallery I could download! Thanks!
more bugs
Another thing, it won't allow a Facebook sync...is anyone else experiencing these problems?
QuickPic > any oem media gallery known to Android
I don't use Facebook but I was having issues syncing Google music. Wifi wasn't working for me and the pattern lock was all messed up too.

You could extract a ROM and grab a gallery apk from that and copy it to /system/app folder. Just make sure and change to the correct permissions after you move it there.

I've no gallery either, and also the camera is giving me glitches. It seems like I can take pictures just fine, but am unable to record video. It force closes after every attempt. Pattern unlock is glitched for me as well.
changing roms

I dont know how you guys feel, but no facebook sync or stock gallery means no good. I tried fixing it and after hours of work I decided to try out the Sonya v2
Sorry this was my fault, dont know how I missed the gallery, will have that fixed by tonight after work. Facebook has synced with me everytime and I'm not having any issues with google music as well. I use these everyday and are a must as well. Patternlock on the other hand is a different story. I will look into it.
A note on Facebook, if you are trying to add the account like you do your Google account you can't. Just use the app from the market. It works well and I have found it more reliable this way
Had the same problems setting up yahoo, fb and twit from add accounts.I ended up getting apps from market worked out fine.
This will b a great rom when u get the gallery work out.Been running it for about 24 hours now with pretty heavy use and battery is at 27 not bad at all.installed at 95

JRW, are you experiencing the camcorder issues or is that just me? Also I just wanna say great ROM otherwise.
Edit: Also is there a way that you could get Contacts sync from the Facebook app to work? I've seen other Android phones do that with a non-modified Facebook app; I think there's something involved with blur that tells the app not to give us that option.

Yes I am and I'm hoping it is due to me forgetting to install the gallery in the Rom as everything was working fine on my test version. I will have an update out tonight after work.
I removed a lot of the blur accounts have you tried using just the app from the market? It has been working for me

I am using the app from market and that works just fine; except that it doesn't offer contact sync (on a non-blur phone the Facebook app usually offers an option for contact sync...)

The updated version will have all of the accounts added back to it...
Hey guys, so I finally rooted my N5 recently and started using greenify. I noticed that even after hibernating google+, it still runs in the background. More specifically, I noticed that both today and yesterday about 30 min after unplugging my phone G+ was using 50% of the battery. Yesterday I forced closed it and it seemed to have stopped but it really annoyed me this morning considering I hibernated it so it should not happen. I disabled the app, until realizing that I do need the photos app because I like to keep all the pictures from my previous phones/cameras in the cloud and the regular gallery doesn't seem to do it or do it as well. So I enabled the app, and then I realized I should just use app opsX to disable the permission allowing G+ to keep phone awake. It seemed to have worked and during the day it did wake the phone for about 2 min. I wasn't sure why this happened seeing I disabled it from being able to do that but I didn't think much of it. However, now I opened Greenify and all of a sudden it can no longer hibernate G+, yet it was able to Greenify it before.
Has anyone encountered this problem? If so what did you guys do? Basically, I want to know if there's anything I can do besides uninstall/disable/freeze since I want to use the photos app. Thanks!
I don't seem to have any issues with Greenify and G+, although I use the donate version which lets you hibernate system apps. However, I have also never used the G+ app on my phone so maybe because I've never started it, it doesn't ever run in the background (just a guess btw!).
If you're only bothered about cloud storage for your photos then Dropbox can do that.

Thanks. Yeah I have the donated version as well and I did check the "better performance" option. I don't think I've ever physically opened the app as well unless the photos app counts which I suppose it does. I guess there's dropbox, I just don't really use it that much and I feel like the photos app seems more convenient since it's actually a gallery. Also, there's no limit to how many photos you can upload. Although I haven't used dropbox in a while so maybe it's changed.
Edit: I think it might actually have to do with taking a picture. I'm not 100% sure though. Regardless, I find it weird that after I took away its' permission to stay awake in App Opps X it's still able to keep the phone awake. Unless App Opps X just doesn't work.
Since the recent camera update I've had nothing but trouble with the built in Google camera app. After I take a picture the Nexus 5 will often freeze with all 4 cores of the CPU churning away. The only way to restore the phone is to reboot. I don't know if it is a bug in the program or a conflict with another app or something to do with my xprivacy settings.
I tried settings / apps and "uninstall updates", reboot, but that didn't help. I finally gave up and now use "cameraMX" app which lets me take pictures without freezing the phone. So I'm OK but I wonder if others have had the same experience. I also would like to get the apk of the kitkat camera app before the latest update to install and try. Anyone have it?
For OP,
u using what rom?
n mostly your's camera apps have bad GAPPS sectors
send my signature phone to XDA w bad grammars via Google Chorme
Stock kitkat.
Turn off location in the app
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Location was already turned off.
I am now using version 2.0.002 which I think is the older version. Just used the camera now to test it and it worked fine. Yesterday using the updated camera, it constantly froze so I could not even take one picture and needed to reboot constantly. I assume location was also turned off in that updated version too. Will not update again to find out.

What is GAPPS and how do I fix bad GAPPS sectors?
Google camera continues to cause me problems! I've given up on it. CameraMX works fine and even takes clearer pictures.

I recently got the XZ Premium and noticed that my DropBox app is not uploading photos as it is supposed to. I have found out that disabling camera upload and enabling it again will make the phone upload again. I tried just opening the DropBox app to see if it will allow it upload but it did not work. Anybody else having this issue? Is it a problem with Sony killing background apps?

I have the same issue but I thought it's the problem with app itself (or Android version) not the phone.
Just to clarify, the app is uploading the photos but with a huge delay, I guess someone else with different phone on Oreo should comment on that issue.

I have another phone that is running Android 6.0.1 and DropBox runs fine on that without requiring me to disable / enable camera uploads so I don't think it's the app. It can either be Android 8.0 or Sony but I'm suspecting that it's Sony's battery management software. I have tried putting DropBox in the "Power-saving exceptions" in the "Apps & notifications" menu but that didn't seem to work either.
I notice many apps close when they shouldn't. I don't play any games at all and the most apps I use at the same time are Instagram, WhatsApp, Now for Reddit, Chrome and Spotify.
Maybe the last 2 apps stay in memory but all the rest don't. Sometimes even Spotify closes.
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on Android 9.0.

I'm not having any of these problems. I have 15 opened apps right now, and none have been closed.
Stock or custom rom? I feel I'm experiencing this with custom roms on my Pixel, but stock seems to not have this effect (still waiting for my PH-1 to be delivered)
No problems like that here on unrooted stock, official pie.
I see the same with instagram and play music. Since the upgrade the closes in a minute or so and that absolutely sucks.
OP
Chrome Dev does occasionally reload for me, especially with 5+ tabs, but I expect CD to do so more than other apps. In the main everything stays in memory for a good enough time (hours +) with multiple apps.
Same here, usually I have a list of apps open in recents. They seem to be getting closed after not being used for while.
Already switched off Battery Management (thought this might be the cause) but didn't help.
I'm also on official Pie, no root or other tweaks.
EDIT: I probably should mention that I am using the la(te)st Xperia launcher from APKMirror instead of the Essential's default launcher. Not sure if this might be an explanation...
