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.

Hello All,
I currently have instant upload enabled on my phone which automatically uploads the photos I take to google plus. Apparently the app should upload your videos as well but for me it just skips them.
Has anyone got this working?
Proof the app should upload videos: http://i.imgur.com/AHMLl.png
All help is greatly appreciated!
Pretty sure it only does pictures. They'll probably change that soon. Thebsetting in the app says only photos as we'll, and no one will do videos because they can be huge. Want to cap your data plan cause the app was uploading views in the background.
Google only gives you 1gig spacenfor that stuff as well, which can be another concern.
This is just Google's equivalent to PhotoStream on iOS and Camera Roll synching on WP, since Google+ and its services is basically equivalent tibthe Social parts of Windows Live and Facebook.

I think you might be right. It definitely did used to work as I have videos uploaded that I didn't manually do.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

try to reinstall the app!
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.

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...)

I have noticed that since updating to jelly bean 4.1.2 that the stock video player seems to start its self in the back ground I have spotted it in active applicstions a couple of times now. Was wondering if others are noticing the same thing. I just did a factory reset and it still seems to be doing it at random does anyone have any clues as to why it would be doing this, is it a bug of some sort?
I've had the same problem. Couldn't figure it out, so I removed the app, which I regret now. I forgot to do a backup of the apk file.
In hindsight I suspect it might be caused by the video app syncing content from the cloud providers (Dropbox, etc). I haven't been able to prove this, since I don't have the app anymore. If someone does have a backup of the apk, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah I dont know, i have all syncing turned off unless the app doesnt pay attention to that and just starts up to try sync anyway dont know why it would have to actually start for that and not just do it in the back ground? Did you actually unistall the apk or just dissable it? If you just disabled it you can enable again in the applications menu all disabled apps are at the bottom of yhe list of installed apps.
Yeah, I checked. It's deleted. Me and my stupid mind.

Ive noticed mine does it too. I just end it all the time. Not a big concern to me.

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

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.

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.
