How to get my photos back!

[hongman]

Hi

I had my S4, merrily snapping loads of pics, with Google+ doing its AutoBackup all along.

During this time I sorted some photos into my own albums, which it seems moves them off the SD Card.

Anyways, phone exploded, and I just got my replacement. Obviously all my photos are on my SD Card but the ones I had moved into other albums exist only on Google+ AutoBackup.

My question is, how do I get these back on my phone? From what I can see Google+ only allows you to download the photos by selecting them one by one...theres nearly a thousand...

Welcome to Android Forums. I don't have an answer for this one. Maybe someone else will chime in with one. In the mean time going forward, always make a backup of all photos and videos to a computer, flash drive, etc.

i used picasa tool in the past and redownloaded them to the phone. Once the app had my g+ details.

other option is to go to the website and save all the pics into a zip and then dump them onto your phone that way.

Thanks for the suggestions. Picasa tool doesn't show me my auto backup photos and online I can only select them one by one which is too much!
