That's freakin fantastic!

That's freakin fantastic! I took some pictures and some video with my Android earlier and after they didn't show up on Instant Upload I went searching for them. Lo' and behold, there are no, count them: zero, pictures from the past few days on my Android. Some of the missing pictures are already IU'd and some were not.

Makes me not trust Android anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that. All I can hope is that they were pics and vid that weren't extremely important since that would make everything much worse.

What's really annoying is that these pictures and videos were of my walk with Rufus and we ran across a couple of large turtles. Rufus didn't know what to make of them and was acting spooked, and playful and curious and everything. I'll never get that back.

I've noticed similar issues as well. Mine tends to still auto-upload (in whatever order it feels) but it seems it depends on how you post whether the image/video gets removed from the "Instant Upload" album...(ie Android app, iOS app, desktop, etc.)

This happens to me too, sometimes. I'll take a photo with my Android (Samsung Conquer, which I love) and then go to look at it. Photos will say 0 items. WTF? I exit out of the photo viewer and then go back in, and the photos will be there. Strange.

They're missing from your phone entirely, or only from Instant Upload? What gallery app are you using? I use QuickPic which has the option to hide specific images or folders... Hopefully it'll be something simple like that.

Missing completely, Melina M. I'm using the default gallery included with Android 2.3 (stock vanilla distro)

So Jason ON, they were very important. That answers my question. I'm really sorry. It sucks for us too because we would have liked those photos.

They were funny. Well, the videos were, the pictures were just of a turtle.

No chance you or someone else batch deleted them, huh? I'm sorry it's being unreliable for you. :(

No. These were from my dog walk about 30 minutes before I posted this topic. I took the video and stills, finished the walk and wanted to upload them over the wifi (which is a bit faster, especially for the videos). No one else had access to the phone or my G/Account.

And you took them with the stock camera, I assume?

I've had problems with disappearing photos, too. Hooked up the phone to the laptop with a data cable and was able to download them, but have no idea why I couldn't see them in the gallery. Ymmv, but its worth a try.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
