Question Help with old android naming convention.

Old android photo name sequence

Help decoding file names

Example. I want to see if a file name aligns with a time / date in which the photos were taken to find out if they were sent just after they were take. Generally a device has a sequence in which it labels like MMYYDDHM.JPG.

The metadata from these files is stripped.We only have the names to go off of. The photos were taken on a 2015-2017 LG model android phone with metro pcs. Maybe a g70.

10206299612608799.jpg, 10206299612768803.jpg, 10206299612888806.jpg

Some context, the photos are all of the same object at what appears to be taken in a sequence.

The last part of the file name is the only part that changes.

The only data I have is the date that they were potentially taken to compare. Date: 09/24/17.

Other files i have for comparison

10219120178074923.jpg was taken on or around june 9 2017

10219114070362234.jpg was taken on or around may 17 2017

10219138304288067.jpg was taken on or around aug 13 2017

10219137616550874.jpg was taken on or around aug 5 2017

Anyone able to determine when the three i listed above were taken?

Welcome to Android Central forums. I tried to help you with this. I queried this every way I could think of. I figured there would be a tool or list or key to decipher these names. Something somewhere that would say LG photos are named this way, Samsung images this way, and iPhone... no I didn't really expect Apple to participate, but the others and maybe even include actual camera MFRs. Anyway no such tool exists.

I also wasn't sure if this was the default camera on the device. Where third party apps might use some Chinese backward code to name the files or something odd like that, but I wasn't able to find anything about anything. Even using the file name didn't turn up any results, well except for you posting this question on a developers app, but otherwise no joy.

Everything I did find said to rely on the files meta data.

How did you find that the meta data was stripped?
