I am owning an Xperia Miro phone.Whenever i transfewr bluetooth pics or save whtas app images they get saved in album under Timeline Jan 1970.Does this software error occur for all miro phones?Please suggest me ways to tackle the problem.

Well, that all depends on the exif-data in the file you are transferring. For example if I send a photo I took yesterday to my colleague, it will appear on yesterdays photos in his phone, since the photo contains exif data that tells the photo was taken yesterday. But if I send a file without any exif, it will appear at the bottom (1970). I also suspect that whatsapp like facebook deletes exif data for privacy reasons, or just to save some kb of data.

This is the same for all Xperia phones, and I'm pretty sure all other Android phones as well.

Is there a way to tell the phone to ignore this exif-data and arrange pics based on the time it was created/received on your phone? I just edited an image in googles imageapp and it also got 1970 as timestamp, so no privacy issues there... I think its really irritating
