Database Info

Took over 2k pictures over the last 2 weeks.

The night before I took off for home I had them all. I was looking through my albums on the plane only to find that 90% of my pictures were gone. Where could they have gone? Were they some how deleted?

wow, that sucks! have you looked for them in your file explorer? maybe they're still there, but not showing up in your gallery

I remember that happening to me too in the beginning. Now I just make sure all my foto's are instantly uploaded to a cloud. I've never figured out
where the pictures go to but it's a strange phenomenon.

I'm not sure why it happened, but if you had Google+ installed and allowed Instant Upload, you can access Google+ from a computer and all your pictures should be there in your Instant Upload folder.

I did have that set up. About 5 pictures were saved.

Dropbox also has Camera uploads. They will instantly upload to your Dropbox folder. Just get the app and set it up...easy!

Camera delete your foto if you don't use Google Plus!

I'm on 4.4.2 and I've found a very serious bug that made ​​me lose a couple of photo, here's how to reproduce it:
Assume that you don't use Google+ and you keep it disabled on your phone (manage application > google+ > disable), so you don't have the Photos app in your drawer too
Open the camera
Swipe right in photos
Look at topleft, you'll find the Photos icon, THIS WORK AS A NO-CONFIRMATION-DELETE button!
I've read about Photos becomes the default application swiping from camera in 4.4.1, so I may expect an error / force close but I could never imagine that...
Can anyone confirm this?
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/nexus/using-the-camera/nexus-5/HhmMfQki-Qs

that would be very bad. I just started using photos, but never using gplus!

I could reproduce this issue.

Yes, topleft, op edited.
Plese reply on google thread too (other user already confirm the issue), thank you

I fell victim to this yesterday! Very annoyed. I accidentally double tapped and deleted 2 photos in rapid succession when I only wanted to delete 1. I hope they patch this in the next update. Otherwise I'm going to have to try and remember not to delete photos from the Camera and go into Photos afterwards and do it there.
Update: Looked into recover options. Didn't find anything that will help me get back the already deleted file, but found something that will save me going forward. Already tested and confirmed recovery of a photo deleted directly from the Camera.
Installed Dumpster - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster
No root required, used the default setup and options.

Just download an alternate gallery like QuickPic. The Photos app is horrible, anyway.

Just delete Google+
I assume you don't use Google+ from the title so just delete the app (Google+) If You can't then it's a system app so you have to download something like "NoBloat" or "System App Uninstaller" so that you can remove Google+ Completely.

Deleting Google+ from system/app does Not resolve the problem. I wish it did.

Disabling (or deleting) Google+ CREATE the problem.
That's because Camera app has some reference to it and a crazy behavior when didn't found it!

There is A Universal Fix for about 90% of the problems of Android which are:

Hey. I've been using XDA- Developers since my samsung galaxy S2 then the S3 then the Note 2 and Now The Nexus 5, Of course I want to post in the dev section... You've been me at some point. Camera is one of the easiest thing to get wrong in any ROM so many variables take part into it, the ROM, Kernel and Mods. Since when Franco Kernel was bad????...It's the best plus I use a modded version of Franco Kernel made by LaboDj in which he uses Linaro

Since the camera ties into the Photos app, and the Photos app is a part of Google+, it's not surprising disabling Google+ with break something. Just like disabling any /system app it can cause problems. It even states that in the dialog. "If you disable a built-in app, other apps my misbehave."

Steps as outlined in the OP are inaccurate based on the subject itself, and I think things got further muddled by the incorrect use of terms (Photos vs Delete) and location (top-right vs top-left etc.)
To clarify: the issue as I understand it (and can reproduce 100% of the time) is that from within the Camera app you can permanently delete a photo without confirmation, by clicking the Delete trashcan icon in the top-right.
Steps to reproduce:
Open the Camera app
Swipe from the RHS to view photos
Click the Delete trashcan icon in the top-right
Photo is permanently deleted without any confirmation (Undo will be available for the last deleted photo only, and only if there is more than 1 photo remaining.)
Edit: Ok, now I'm confused. It seems perhaps I have misunderstood the issue being discussed, and that it is potentially related to disabling Google+ and the Photos icon in the top-left...
Issue that I described above is also/still an issue IMO. I don't like the fact that I could accidentally permanently delete a photo because I double tapped the Delete icon.

[Q] Dropbox Camera Upload feature not working in background? Requires app open?

On my Galaxy S3 and S4, whenever I took a picture, it would immediately upload it to Dropbox using the camera upload feature in Dropbox.
I have the same settings on my Nexus 5, but it only seems to work when I open the Dropbox app. It does not happen automatically after I take a picture. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it still seems to have the same issue.
Is this a Nexus 5 or Samsung thing or is something not working here? Can anyone else confirm that they are or are not having this issue?
Thanks!

I am having similar issues. Seems the app is not auto uploading immediately or at all.

Probably. KitKat can be a little aggressive with the memory management.

Can anyone say whether or not this was working properly on the Nexus 4? That would help determine if it's a Samsung thing or a Kit Kat thing.
Thanks for the responses so far! If I can get some more info I'll try contacting the dev.

Dont know how it would be a samsung thing. They are both made by LG, but I did not have any issues with my nexus 4 uploading automatically. It was on 4.2 and 4.3, I never used it on 4.4.

My last two phones were the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. I had instant camera upload on them so I am not sure if Dropbox is supposed to work the same on Nexus devices or if Samsung/Touchwiz has something else going on that helps it.
A good example is Facebook sync. It works on Touchwiz but not on the Nexus 5.
If the Nexus 4 never had instant camera upload I guess I can't expect it on the Nexus 5. I'm hoping that's not the case.

Dropbox camera sync works fine without me opening the app. I switched from a note 2. On the note2 the upload was almost instant.... On the n5 there is a few minutes delay on the sync.

I just double check my setting again. The auto upload is on, set to Wi-Fi and data. The only difference I saw was. It limit me to 2.5 mb or smaller; you have to go and change it to all photos.

Thanks - I checked my settings again as well. I have tried Wifi only and Wifi + Data, with no change. The size limit only shows when you set it to Wifi + Data and the only options I see are "Under 25 MB" and "All Files". The phone doesn't take any photos near 25 MB size so that should never be a problem.

I am noticing this exact issue on my Nexus 5. I'm glad I caught it before I started deleting videos off my device. I record videos of my kids every day (using that 1 Second Everyday app) and I rely on Dropbox to upload the videos automatically. I delete videos just assuming the are on dropbox. \
Hoping for a fix...

Odd. I have not noticed any issues. I just snapped a pic in my office and the picture immediately appeared in my Camera Uploads folder on my computer. My settings are Wifi or Data and files under 25 Mb.

So after I installed the Dropbox update yesterday, I ran the app and then tested...same thing...no camera upload.
Today it seems to be working properly. Perhaps it needed a reboot to reset the background services? There was a SuperSU update later yesterday that I rebooted for...
Can you guys test again, after installing the Dropbox update and rebooting, and see if it's working for you now?
Thanks

DropBox is uploading pictures I take almost immediatley. No problems here

It seems to upload fine after a reboot, but after a while the background auto-uploading stops and only resumes after launching the app...

Yeah that seems to be the exact same thing I'm finding.
After a reboot it works fine...then a few hours later, nothing, until you open the app.

Dropbox upload is working fine for me, but I use Google + photos for backing up my photos and videos. Seems better for me.

Things that you can do:
1- Clear Data + Clear Cache + Force Stop (All can be done from App Info) then Restart app and see if it works.
2- Uninstall then install Dropbox again (reinstalling)
3- Clear Cache & Dalbvik Cache from the recovery
4- Flash a custom kernel(Franco Kernel)
5-Wait for an update from Dropbox (maybe a bug)

[Q] [HELP] Losing metadata when transferring Photos and Videos

Hi all, this is my first post to XDA forums, I've been a lurker for a while now but I can't seem to find the help I need so I decided to post.
I recently got my Nexus 5 coming from a Nexus S, and I've been trying to migrate all my photos and videos (~700 files) taken on my N2 to my N5 but no matter what methods I've tried I cannot seem to preserve the date that the photos and videos were taken, leading to a jumbled gallery on my N5.
I've tried using copying through USB (both dragging and dropping from the N2 into the N5, and copying onto the computer (preserves date modified/taken) then onto the N5), WiFi transfer apps, Bluetooth and LocalSync. I'm not proficient enough to experiment with adb so I haven't tried that yet.
My N2 is rooted and running CyanogenMod 9.0.0 and my N5 is rooted but running stock KitKat 4.4.2 and I am running Windows 7 64-bit, if any of this helps.
Any help would be appreciated!

How about uploading everything to the cloud and then downloading to the N5? Although, if all your stuff is in the cloud, you don't really need it on the phone.

I just tried using box storage, and it still doesn't preserve the metadata and instead changed the date modified on my N5 to sometime in 1970... :\
I'd prefer it on the phone itself so I can access it offline as I usually have my mobile data turned off (small data allowance) and am not often in range of a wifi signal

Ah, in that case, my idea wouldn't work.
So, if I understand correctly, you're having no trouble transferring the files, it's just that the metadata isn't preserved?

This is a long shot, but maybe you can import them into a PC program that preserves metadata, and then export them to the phone. Maybe Windows Live Photo Gallery, for example.

[WIP][FREE][ROOT]WhatsGear. Whatsapp from your wrist.

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).
Tizenmod.
sqlite3 installed on your phone. If you dont have it, there are apps in the PlayStore that can install it for you, or you can manually copy sqlite3 file to system/xbin from an emulator.
Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
