...and some won't open at all despite being 'jpg'.
I finally got round to transferring photos from my old Samsung S8. It said that there were around ~6,000 photos, and I chose to delete after transfer, but afterwards there were ~3,000 left. So I transferred again, and it transferred ~2,000 photos, but even though it spent two hours 'deleting', no photos were removed. I have no idea which photos I have backups of and which I don't!!
But even worse, I can't open some of the photos. They're jpg but it says they're unreadable. Some photos are becoming available over time (don't ask me how that makes sense, but the preview photo finally appears and I can click on them), and AGAIN there is a problem. They're a fraction of their previous size! They're around 200 x 400 pixels. Wtf am I supposed to do with photos that size? They're basically ruined. I assume there's nothing I can do to restore the size, unless they're just compressed and I don't know it? Is there anything I can do to fix the ones that still aren't opening?
The rest is just a rant:
I love Samsung, but I have NEVER, not ONCE, been able to transfer my photos with them without pain and heartache. It always leaves behind or loses photos in the process and it drives me crazy. If this new phone has the same problem I will never be back. I didn't painstakingly save and categorise all these photos to have them stolen from me in the transfer process, it's like stealing memories from someone. And I'm SICK of the time I waste and the stress it cause, which is why I procrastinated on backing up these photos for a year in the first place. Sick of it for real.
