What about some alternative camera aplication ?
I don't use such personally, but I am pretty sure, there are plenty of apps like this. For example: Vignette

Open camera. Switch to selfie, hit the gear, option should be there.

Thanks! Never thought that they hid all those other functions under the selfie menu. What a dumb thing to do on their part. Oh well, thanks again for your help.

Can someone please explain pictures and storage on the Nexus 6?

Hi All,
I got the Nexus 6 a few weeks ago and I like it pretty well though I'm having a hard time figuring out how to work it lol. One major thing I'm not understanding - it seems to have no picture storage in the phone itself that I can find. Is this correct? There's no "Gallery" or anything - all I can get into is my google photos. Which would be okay I guess except that not everything saves to Google Photos. For example:
Last night I took a picture with the camera app I use (Camera 360) and edited it in another app (don't remember which one - it was an in memory pic so I just needed to add some text). Anyways, I saved it and it said it was saving to the phone, however, it's not anywhere in the google photos. I couldn't find it anywhere. But then when I went to Facebook it popped up in my options to upload a photo. So it has to be saving somewhere!
I also have a lot of issues with photos from Camera 360, Instagram, FB, and other apps doing the same thing - they'll show in my FB options or if I click within the Camera 360 app on the preview area but they don't show in Google Photos or anywhere else on the phone.
Can anyone explain this to me please?
Thanks!

Did you set Google Photo`s to backup all pics and video`s in the cloud? Have you checked /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/?

No. I don't really use the cloud. I want to be able to access everything physically on the phone if possible but I'll look into that too.
I thought it didn't have an SD card slot so how to I check what you said at the end there? If there's no SD card then how would it be saving to an SD Card? Sorry... I'm not the brightest with this kind of thing.

Get a file manager from Google Play and look for /sdcard/DCIM/Camera and your pics etc should be there.

Okay thanks! So what do I do then? Do I just use that file manager going forward every time I want to access my pictures? What I'm trying to figure out is how I can view/display/transfer my photos going forward. Should I download a gallery app?

I actually had that on my last phone and liked it but there was a weird glitch on my old phone where it wouldn't let me delete anything. Even if I deleted pics from the phone gallery they would still show in QuickPic. Then if I tried to delete them in there it gave me a weird error. I could probably try it on the new phone again here though!
I did download the file manager and that seems like it will work perfect.

Well then the problem is solved
Isn't there is device folder at the left side of the menu in the google photo app. I usually find all the picture there, screenshoot and stuff like that.

Do consider backing it up to the cloud. That way, if your phone dies or gets lost/damaged, you won't be stuck trying to figure out how to recover your pictures. Google Photos app gives you unlimited storage for your photos (just don't choose "original resolution"). The photo/video will still be there on your phone, but will have a backup on the cloud.

Yes, I do the same. Tap the menu icon on the left side of Goole Photos App, and then tap "Device Folders",
This will show OP all the local camera photos in DCIM, as well as any screenshots/downloads, etc

Hmm. I'm confused. Maybe I do this and just didn't know it was called the cloud? Right now my photos from my last like 4 phones are in my "Google Photos" and I can access them all on any phone I've had, on the computer, etc. So they're already stored in Google Photos?

Go to photos.google.com and sign in with your google account. See if your photos are showing there. If yes, then you are good - they are being backed up. You can verify the settings in the photos app on your phone too - settings/backup and sync. Verify that it is on, and that upload size is high quality (or you can choose original - but that will not be unlimited)

STOCK Gallery photo editing

I noticed that when coming from the S8 plus to the Note 8 the stadt gallery no longer allows precise adjustments in the gallery app. For example..
You can no longer finely-tuned a filter like in the gallery app on the S8 Plus. It's pretty much their filter the way they like it. Even in the vignette, you can't adjust it whatsoever.
Anyone notice this?

The phone's not even been officially released yet bro... give them a chance to update the apps :silly:
Not really an excuse when almost the entire world has had it since September 5th
I'm also noticing that the stock gallery no longer has the option for advanced photo editing options. I loved being able to adjust curves, tone, and other precise adjustments right in the stock app. Why would they take this away on the power user device? Anybody know of any impending updates?

If you go to the overflow button there's an option to open the image in 'Photo Editor Pro', the adjustments you mention are in the 'Advanced' section.
I've found my people!!

Found that the other day, but how do you make that the DEFAULT? This "update" is NOT an improvement. And I think I just confused the heck out of two Samsung agents this morning trying to explain what I wanted to do. If anyone has any good ideas, I'm all ears.
I've also posted in the Samsung Community forum, but you'll have to hunt for it, since I'm new to xdadevelopers and can't share the link here.

AH! Thanks! Seems odd that they'd bury it like this and I agree with the previous poster that I'd prefer this option by default as on the S8+.

Looks like your precise adjustments are also available in "Photo Editor Pro" mode.

Notes in statusbar/notifications

I have previously used Sony and switched to the p30 pro now , before I used to depend on a app like Notify, Notable ect ect ect where you have a quick access to make a note from the notification bar and then make that note stick there until you remove it yourself. When I now use the apps I previously used the notes and quick access all disapeare. I have tried to download several other apps but nothing stays there until I decide myself. Have also checked phone/app settings with no luck.
Does anyone know of a app like this that works correct on p30 pro or if there is a settings Im overlooking?

Thanks for the tips! I have tried Notin and unfortunaly its the same issue there. All the apps I tri, even the ones working on Sony Xperia and other phones, they just keep disapering from the Notification bar after around maximum 1 day.
I have tried looking in setings with no luck either, but I could be missing something. Dont understand why they will not work =/

Set the app to manual in app launch. Dont let the system auto manage it. Lastly, check and make sure the app is not optimized in the battery settings.
