Deleted photos reappear after reboot or a few hours - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my new Z2 a few days ago. Love the phone but a few quirks though. The main one - photos reappear after they have been deleted after a reboot or after waiting a few hours.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Take a picture with the stock camera app
2a. Delete it immediately from the camera app and also delete it from the trash within the Google Photos app.
2b. or go into the Sony album app and delete it from there.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open the Sony album app. Voila... the picture is back again.
Can someone verify this behavior for me? Any suggestions?

ive found that with .55 and .402 firmwares there is a media scanning issue/app function issue
i dont think there is much to do besides deleting the pic using xplore, xplore app adds to the media info hence it should disapear from the album all together

Thanks!! I'm using Solid Explorer and will definitely try deleting from a file explorer. Funny thing is that if I delete the reappeared photo via eg. the Sony album app (so deleting it for the second time) it does go away permanently.
Do you reckon this is going to be solved via a firmware update? Or do I need to go hobby around the issue myself?

Found it. I had set the storage location to my SD within the camera app. Changed that back and the issue of reappearing pictures is gone. That all my widgets and live wallpaper were destroyed in the process got me even more paranoid about this firmware, but hey that's solvable too
Thanks for the help.

Hangouts??

On this phone for some reason I can't take pics directly from the hangouts app... When I do it takes it then when I click save it goes back in the hangout then says can't find picture. And in the gallery that file is corrupted. I didn't have this issue on my note 3. Is this a known problem?

I couldn't reproduce this problem on my phone.. Have you maybe tried clearing data on the app and trying again?

i have the same exact problem, never been rooted so on stock.
No problems here. I just took a photo using hangouts and choose to save it and it coveted my message to MMS and worked, no problem. Wipe cache of camera maybe?

I switched my save location to device. And now it seems to be working. But on my note I always used memory card.

I got these updates yesterday after i'd (shortly) restored an old .290 backup, but i didn't get them on 757 when i went back, so yeah. Not sure why that happens..
Also, yeah, I really like the updates! I have nothing to add or rant about
Haha i got it on .290 when i just flashed it. Didn't get it on .136 or Kitkat either XD Sony has a weird way of rolling out app updates

Try clearing the app data (note that this will probably delete your playlists etc.)

Having the same thing. Plays about 10-20 seconds then freezes. If I open the Facebook app on my old Galaxy S3 and try the same video it plays fine.
This is quite annoying. I also encountered this problem only on my Z2. My other device plays well...

If possible uninstall all updates down to v 6.0.0.28.28 if not possible just Google this version and install it videos should work then we just need to wait for Facebook to fix their s#itty app.
Don't forget the thanks button if this works for u

I don't think this bug from facebook.apk because others device like samsung, lenovo and etc work properly... Maybe this bug from stock fw...

Unfortunately I lost my backup of the previous apk version. Anyway, I'm quite sure you'll find the apk if you search via Google.

if you had the old version installed and you updated you could try going into your /data/app and copying both the apks and seeing which one is the old one
you need a file explorer and you may need root access
Here is the 1.0.A.1.8 Lifelog original apk from Sony.
Thanks a lot
