I was curious if anyone knows of a way to make the One create a event highlight of photos not taken with the One? I'm curious as I would like it to create One of photos that i had sent to me and from facebook. My friend just had a baby and wanted me to have it create one for them.
I have the photos stored locally on the phone and even stored them in the folder with the photos that are taken by the One. I tried renaming them so they are in direct order after the last picture I took but have had no luck. All of the pictures have a date taken property filled in as well but that didn't make any difference.
Thank you

Here's the deal with the way I share photos. I don't do social media, I don't have "walls" anywhere. I show pictures to my wife and folks and they send pictures to me. But doing this via email the way we do now is cumbersome. Snap...open email...attach...no not that one, the other one...delete...attach...add email addresses... etc etc etc. And that's not even addressing the issue of file size limitations.
I need something super simple that allows sharing of 1-4 pictures quickly after taking them without having to manage a whole social media app in the process. Does something like this even exist or am I not a market that anyone cares to create an app for because my photo use can't be monetized by a marketing manager?
Thanks guys! Any app suggestions would be great. If it could work across Blackberry as well that would be great. All I can find is flickr??
I just use my dropbox account. added my mom to the photo folder and she can just go to the dropbox website. The dropbox app makes it very easy to upload photos right after you take them. This works for you too. If they just upload photos to the shared dropbox folder you can view them from computer or phone. Only problem is you don't get any notification of new content like you get with e-mail.

When uploading all my photos from my inspire I noticed that even though the correct date the photo was taken is shown in windows, my note always assigns the date the photo was uploaded to the phone (note) as the taken date. This is annoying as I like my photos to be in chronological order. Basically my note thinks I took all 2000 photos today.
Anyone else had issues with this?
They are blurry no matter what resolution pic I use.

Yes, but you aren't going to like the answer... The problem is that google takes your contact pictures and downsamples them for online storage. Then when your phone syncs back, it overwrites your original high resolution picture, with their low resolution version (I think it's only 96x96). So there are 3 work-arounds...
--Don't sync your contacts with your google account. I find this not practical, especially since it's a big part of the functionality of the phone
--Use either Google+ or Facebook to populate the pictures for you by linking the contacts. The downside is that you are limited to just users of those services...
--Manually Create a contact for each person ON THE PHONE (not a google contact). Add the high resolution photo there, and then link that one to your google contact. This is what i use for my most frequently called people, but even that's not practical for the entire address book. Also, ICS uses 256x256 resolution, which still doesn't come out 'crisp' on a phone of this resolution.
This is really a black mark for android. There has actually been an open ticket on this since 2009, with over a thousand people adding to it. It's also recently been a thread on Google + where a lead engineer said they were going to work on it, but even that fizzled out.
Haxsync will download high Res photos from Facebook. Just make sure the contact has that image selected and not the Google one.

Those are blurry as well. Then you are also missing pictures for Go SMS Pro and other 3rd party messaging apps.
Never used to be this issue for the OG Evo (running ICS).
So like most people, I take lots of photos on my phone.
I'd like the following:
1. Local backup of original photos
2. Photos in albums online
3. Ability to securely share (ie. not public link)
4. Mirror of photos on phone so I can view without internet (lower quality cached version is fine)
This is my current process.
1. Sort through and delete crappy photos
2. Adjust photo RGB curves for dynamic range (A Better Camera would do this automatically, but my new phone doesnt support it)
3. Copy photos to computer.
4. Sometimes I filter them through Noise Ninja, if I do, then I copy the new ones back to my phone.
5. Sort them into folders/albums
6. Upload via Picasa
Now I can view photos on the web or phone sorted into albums.
Problems:
1. Picasa wont upload at the new higher quality
2. Process is tedious
3. Google Photos doesnt seem to keep a cached copy so what's left on my phone is the original camera roll which isnt sorted into albums. I could do that ofcourse, but then I'm doing everything twice.
4. No "auto-back" so if I ever lose my phone, I lose whatever I have processed yet.
Google Photos seems pretty good if I use their auto-backup. I could then copy all the photos to my computer as well so I have a backup of the originals. However, then I still have to sort into albums twice.
I'd appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to do what I'm looking for.
I transferred my photos from my old device to my new device. So what happened was, the dates of the photos I transferred also changed in Google Photos (I have them both backed up to the cloud & offline).
The thing is, I forgot the dates of the photos with wrong dates. How can I fix them? I know I can see the correct dates in the file names of the pictures.
But, here's where I got ANOTHER problem. I have pictures that are backed up on Google Photos, that aren't on my device, and have wrong dates. That means I can't possible know the exact dates of those pictures.
Can you help me? What do I do? I really hate a disorganized photo library.
Unfortunately I can only describe a similar problem, not a solution, sorry.
Anyways, when moving my photos from my z3 compact internal memory to the SD Card, the photos filestamps changed to the timestamp of moving. So they now show almost the same date and time and of course are entirely disorganized.
I know there's also the EXIF date and I'm wondering if there would be some way to change the filestamp to that intact date & timestamp?
