One thing I want to ask google is, why can't I browse through my previously-taken motion photos when I'm in a dead cell zone?
I went to the aquarium this weekend, took a lot of motion photos- but when scrolling through them in the gift shop, the "motion on" button just turned into an eternal loading icon. Even on photos I had taken the previous week.
- chanchar 9y agoIf you have smart storage on, those photos are not saved on the device but in the cloud.
- puzzle 9y agoThe local copies usually stick around a lot longer, I think 2-3 months. Perhaps the original poster ran out of storage, which triggered more aggressive purging?
- knodi123 9y agonope. Have several gigs free. This is something else. The pictures all load when I'm in a dead cell spot, but the looping clips don't. Interestingly, it all works fine and quickly in airplane mode. My theory is that before it plays the video, it checks settings to see whether it's online, and then makes a blocking call to a google server to, like, increment a view counter or something.
