Problem: Geotagging / CM6.1 / EVO - EVO 4G General

hey guys I'm having a problem with my phone and the geo location feature. whenever i have GPS on and i take a picture then go to upload it to picasa it does not show me where the picture was taken.
is it a problem with CM6.1? or my phone or what? please reply thanks.
- shane

Open Camera app>third setting button down from the top (looks like the gps icon)> make sure store location is set to on

yeah man i have that set to "on" but it still doesnt work .

Open the picture up in Photoshop and check the raw file details. If it was geotagged, it'll show it.

thats the thing. it wont show anything about location. my iphone i had worked perfectly fine and i didnt even know i had that feature on it.

picture viewing app?

Hi,
for some reason the pictures and video viewing app no longer works on my mini s. when i choose to view my pics that i have just taken with with the camera the app just doesnt load. I dont wanna hard reset so what can i do? Any others apps i can use or is there any way to get it working again.
cheers
I just realized that I have the same problem.
Anyone that has an idea of what to do???
This is very strange. :?:
How can the application just stop working.......
I will have to spend some time removing the apps that I have installed in backwards order to see if it is one of those that made this happen.
Can it be connected with a registry change, perhaps???
You could try Resco Photo Viewer. It works fine for me.
Yup, Resco is da best.

Always use GPS Photo (camera mode)

Hey guys, I've searched around but didn't find anything useful.
I'm trying to figure out a way to always have the camera in GPS Photo mode. For obvious reasons that I want to geotag all the picture that I take in the camera...kinda like the iPhone and many Android phones. In those phones, there's an easy way to just enable or disable geotagging.
Any ideas??

Hmmm...once I put the camera in GPS mode, it stays there until I manually change it, even through closing the camera and reopening it, and through soft-resets too.
See that's exactly what I want but it keeps switching to normal mode. btw I'm using EnergyROM 23569 Cookie - May, 28th release, if that helps any.

rvashi, what method are you using to put the camera in gps mode...are you doing it through the footprints tab? If so, there's actually a tweak to unlock that directly in the camera's settings, that's how I turn on geotagging.

I start Camera and then select the GPS Photo mode from the settings button at the bottom. I think that's the same way you are doing it. But mine is not sticking to GPS Photo mode for some very odd reason.

Still no fix for phone trying to send pics sideways if taken in portrait mode?

I have tried the Vibrant, Galaxy S, and Captivate camera software, none of which seem to work correctly when trying to send a picture or upload a picture I took in portrait mode, the picture always comes out sideways. Its odd because in the gallery, it shows the picture in portrait mode but as soon as I try to send it, it turns the picture sideways. Dont have this issue on my old iphone 3gs nor my G2. Strange thing is, the pics I uploaded from iphone onto my Vibrant, it correctly orients those if i try to upload them or send them. Looks like there is some sort of breakdown of communication between the camera software and the "share" portion. I find this pretty annoying as its such a small simple thing that should be fixed. Anyone got any ideas what to do? Is there a program to modify orientation so i can fix it before uploading or sending? Although the pics show up in the correct orientation in the gallery so not sure if that would help?
So nothing?
Use Picsay to fix your pictures

How about you rotate the pictures before doing anything with them??
LMAO xD
I agree with the OP and have always experienced the same issue. The suggestion that you rotate the pic before uploading is completely ridiculous. The reason we have the "share" function built into the gallery is to make things fast and convenient. Having to edit/rotate defeats the purpose.

exactly, cant wait to get rid of this phone, samsung couldnt even get a little feature like this right. Plus the pictures are also already correctly oriented in the gallery, so not sure if rotating would fix the problem?

even when the pics are taken within the facebook app, this still happens, so it might not just be a share issue from within the gallery.
anyone find anything on this? quite annoying..
I also noticed this, I wasn't sure whether I made a mistake with uploading or what
I've always had this problem too
Don't you think you are doing it wrong op?
you are supposed to take pictures in landscape mode.. not in portrait, the default is landscape even though it will let you take pics on portrt.. so best solution is to take pictures in landscape... is that too hard to do?
Even if you take a picture with the phone upside down.. your screen will always show you the upright view of the image so that you won't have to twist your head around while taking pictures side ways or upside down... gyroscope is it? But it will be saved on your gallery in the way you took the picture in...

but what if it's not a landscape-type picture, which is the issue here.. pics should be able to be taken, saved and uploaded in both landscape and portrait, or frikin sideways or upside-down if the user so chooses.

Umm you mean a vertical type picture? I think the landscape mode itself is the portrait aswell.. I tried taking a picture in landscape then sent it to myself as mms... i got the picture in the upright position.. then i took another picture in portrait.. i got the picture side ways.. although the image in camera was in upright position during portrait, the pic was still side way because ovbiously the phone was in side way position..
When the camera comes up, its set to landscape, even if you hold the phone normally for a portrait shot, the screen orientation doesn't change. No matter how we tried to take this picture, no matter what it looked like in the gallery, when it uploaded or sent, it was in landscape.
The camera doesn't work like it does on other Androids.

Found solution for Blurry Pics!

I found the solution for X10. Use SE Sync instead of Google Sync and then open PC Companion on your PC then click SE Sync it should start your Browser log in there and you can edit your Contacts and set there your High Quality Pics for your Friends you must click the 2nd Icon there it shows a Pencil or somethign then add Pic and when your done click refresh right in the bottom and when you set all your Pics go to your Phone and sync your Contacts and now you have HQ Pics on Calls. When you never used SE Sync before you must first register on your Phone. Your Contact should be changed from Phone Contact or Google Sync Contact to a SyncML if its working.
Holy crap - sounds like a lot of work... but also sounds promising...
I'd rather have it just work in the first place, but thank you for providing another solution. My only concern is that when it syncs again, does it break your address book and corrupt all the entries again? Despite best efforts, I've seen this happen to a lot of people with myself being included. It's so irritating. I know it's something small, but I'm a stickler for quality and hate having 1996 quality JPEG-looking crap show up when loved ones call me

What other solution i tried everyone i found on Net this was the only one that worked for me if i set HQ Pic with Mediascape it is HQ everywhere but not in Call Screen but with this it is HQ on Call Screen too. When you Sync with SE Sync the Pic always stays HQ i dont know if the Pic stays HQ when you Sync with Google but you can try it.

I may tinker around with it again in the future. I have a replacement handset I really need to setup so maybe I'll just bite the bullet considering how I'll need to invest some time in updating it and doing some testing anyway (have had multiple replacements, trying to get an X10 without low in-call volume).
Bongd did the replacements come direct from Sony?
Has the incall volume improved at all?
deleted....., maybe i´ve got to read the hole thread first....

I tried this method but all my pictures are to big any pointers
Thanks
For my Pics it worked great all Faces are good to see and all HQ. But maybe some Pics it shows Body instead of Head becouse Pic is long or something but for mine it worked.

That sounds interesting to try. I had a look around on Google on how to do this but had no luck. Would you be able to spare a sec to explain how you set HQ Pic with Mediascape?
The album art in Mediascape is also similarly blurry which also sucks

I go to the Pic with Mediascape and then left in the bottom there is a + click this and you can choose set Contact Pic. In 1.6 it worked for Call Screen and Dialer but in 2.1 the HQ Pic is only in Dialer but in Call Screen its blurry becouse it saves the Pic as Thumbnail and when you on Call screen it make small Thumbnail bigger instead of the original HQ Pic, but thats a Android Problem becouse Google crops the Images to 96x96 dont know why they dont make it bigger like 300x300 ore something. But SE Sync take the original HQ Pic and dont change it so it stays HQ and dont make a Thumbnail or crop it. My Mediascape Album Art is good.

Try do deactive or delete Syncing on SE Site it should be in Settings and then set it up new
It worked
Thanks, I tried it, and it worked, but when I link it it to a facebook account, the facebook picture is prioritized.
What do I do
HEy you guys just go to the contact, click on edit and choose the pic on Timescape instead of the one that appears on your mail account... Easy as that

I tried that too but it still is a bit blurry after that but it is a improvement over the rest. The Problem is the Call Screen on the Rest most of the Solutions look good.

Hi devs
I have noticed this issue if I sync with FACEBOOK APP. But if I sync with TIMESCAPE, it's high res! So, only the crappy Facebook app gives low res fotos.
So, you need to LOG OFF from your Facebook app, and then add account in Timescape.
It will helps you for sure! Happy NY guys!
The Sony Ericsson sync thing works perfectly, like he said, go to your sony ericsson sync database on the web, assign a high res pic, preferably from VGA to 2MP, then, sync and the picture appears in the contact's details.
Then, click edit, scroll to the sony ericsson sync picture, click it, and set it as a the contact picture, dial it, and voila, it's not blurred AT ALL, it worked perfectly for me.

AutoAwesome Video

This feature was enable on my HTC One M7 and I use it all the time. I guess the S5 is not supported but the Note 3 is? Anyone know a workaround?
I took at look on my Note 3 but cannot see the effect you are talking about. What is AutoAwesome Video?

Make sure that G+ a Google Photos is saying in your settings. Took a few picks the other day, and within a few mins, the Noti for auto awesome came up

Auto Awesome is the name given to the tool used by Google to create these motion videos from images you upload to Google Plus either through your cell phone or computer. When the right set of photos is detected in your Google Plus photo album Auto Awesome videos are created for you to share as you please.

I'm not sure what this means? I check google plus setting and don't see a way to turn on autoawesome. I can view photos I have in my autoawesome folder that was created on my htc one before.., my gs5 never create any autoawesome photo or video that I recently took.

yes your right, there is no option to check off for the Auto Awesome, it just does it automatically of course lol, but, If Google +, and Google + Photos arent syncing, Auto Awesome will do nothing. I think ya may wanna Google Search Auto Awesome, cause i believe it only works when a certain number of photos are taken. I could be mistaken tho

Did it work for you on your S5? Cause I've taken like 40 pictures and 5 video at a party and nothing happen this past weekend with my S5 and nothing. and my photo are backed up to google + photo
Maybe I'm not making myself clear, but you see the instruction at the bottom on how to create a movie/picture. I don't even see this option to create auto awesome video.

Thanks,
