Title pretty much says it all. I have a Photosphere pic I took last year on my Nexus 4 that does not show the Photosphere icon to view in 360 on my Nexus 5. New Photosphere pics work fine. All I see on the old pic is a flat circle. Any ideas? This is in Gallery and Photos.

i ran into a photosphere ealier this year with the nexus 5; after taking one & uploading the photosphere to a g+ group i belong to
(street phography) the photo was a only a flattened warped thingy w/o the google doing it's magic to it on the fly..

curious, i googled *how to share android photosphere* which led me to -

How to share your Google photo spheres with ‘Views’

ofcourse i find, navigating to this " view " asks for another log in, even though i was logged in the g+ already..
i uploaded my phosphere in maps, to be processed in "view" then you get some comfirmation back in a few ..


try it with the photo from the nexus 4..


the eird part about my orginal photosphere is right this minute it's quite butchered in "views" now - https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/100566062990321750433/photo/LYNCOQXPIN0AAAGuqlln5Q



.. & now google is using my photosphere in "maps" - https://maps.google.com/?t=m&layer=c&z=16&panoid=LYNCOQXPIN0AAAGuqlln5Q&cbp=12,251,,0,0
