I'm not sure what happened recently but the Auto Backup in the Google+ Photos app has not been working for me. It just says "backing up... 9 left" and never backs up the photos. It's been working fine up until a few days ago. I have plenty of space on my google account.
I cleared out the apps data cache, didn't seem to help. Anyone else having issues recently? Any other suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure it's not set up for just Wi-Fi if your trying over cellular data.

It is set to only Wifi, and I am on Wifi at home. I only want to to upload over Wifi.

Are you checking it when your battery is low?

My battery isn't low. It's rarely below 40%. Right now its at 71%.

Hi LordGreylock,

Its been reported on various sites that some of the Google services are and have been having issues over the last few days that seems to be what may be causing your issues.

Thanks for posting, I hadn't heard about that, but it may indeed be my issue.

[Soundtrack to Chaos]

It always gives problems, that's why I disabled it. It seems to remove photos from Google plus once I delete it off my phone

[rickms80]

I'm also seeing this issue. Just shows Backing Up...11 left and not moving. I'm on WiFi.

My Battery is low with only 25% at the moment. I just put it on the charger to see if that is the issue.

[LordGreylock]

Mine still refuses to back up. Been like this for days now. I went through all the typical troubleshooting. Still hoping it will just resolve itself and it's on the back-end.

Yeah.... I switched to backup Over Wi-Fi or mobile network and it uploaded the photos. It did use my WiFi when it uploaded the photos. I switched it back to WiFi only and took another pic and of course it's stuck.... I don't know...

Ha, yep I just tried that and it worked, then back on Wifi only, doesn't work. Unfortunately my data plan is pretty low so I definitely don't want to upload these photos over that connection.

[rickms80]

I'll post if I here something. FYI...Was working fine today until I reset my phone... Frustrating.

I found it! Data manager had marked every access point I've used as Mobile Hotspot. Unchecked them all and now WiFi only sync works.

Go to Data Manager hit menu then Mobile Hotspots. Checkout the screenshots.

oh wow, good work!
I wonder why they were all marked as hotspots. Took care of my issue right away!

[rickms80]

Question. Which carrier branded version do you have or unlocked? Wondering if this is just an at&t thing. I of course have the at&t branded version.

Mine's AT&T branded.

[rickms80]

So I think it does this since the last OTA enabling Extreme Power-saving mode.. Any new Wireless Networks I connect to are marked as mobile hotspots. Once I uncheck them they're never marked again. Only if I delete the network and reconnect is when it checks it again.

Does yours exhibit that behavior?

I can confirm this is exactly what mine is doing, it's extremely frustrating when I'm on new wifi networks.

The hotspot thing worked for me too. Now that it's a "true" wifi connection, it will upload automatically. The only lasting problem is that I have a few weeks of pictures/videos that have not uploaded due to this issue that I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to force upload. Google+ says auto backup is up to date. I've done the "back up all" command a few times with no luck. Google+ sees the photos on the phone but can't "see" them to upload. No idea what's wrong. Any thoughts?

Carrier: T-Mobile; Model: HTC One m8; Android version 4.4.2; HTC Sense version: 6.0; Software Number: 1.57.531.7; HTC SDK API level: 6.17.

I have the same issue, but my only solution is to keep it on "Over Wi-Fi or mobile network". Even if I switch over every Wi-Fi location to being a normal Wi-Fi connection inside of the Data Manager, I still get this problem.

So I'm going to let it all upload for now with this mobile network switched on, and try to figure out later how to fix this.

[mlynch01]

Wow, I was having the same issue and this worked for me. Unchecked the mobile Hotspot and like magic it worked. I couldn't figure out why for the life of me the uploads were stuck! Thanks for this.

Thank you rickms80 for the catch. I can confirm the same problem (and solution) on the M7 since the last update.
The only difference is the path: Settings > More > Data usage > [menu] > Mobile Hotspots

[Ryan Reames]

Just had this issue too, thanks for the post!

[iamstillvince]

have similar issue but not case for me, it just gets stuck sometimes and keeps trying, uses battery like crazy when this happens. gonna go back to charging only and try that
