Hi Gang,
I used this feature (stored the photos in the My POI folder) and what do I do from here.
How can I determine what the Latitue and Longatude for the photos were? Am I missing something or have I mis-interprited the feature?
Thanks
hi, the gps information is saved in the exif data of the picture.
if you want to see where your photos were taken you need to have google earth and Panorado Flyer installed on your computer, right click in a geotaged picture and choose panorado flyer -> show location in google earth...
hope it helps you a little...
Dude i got it working, thanks for that.
Is there like an exsisting thread about this that shows tips and tricks and cool staff about this feature?
1. When I try to open facebook.com in my Opera web browser, they send me to something that is not the original, but som quasifacebookapplicationwannabe. I want the same page as on my pc.
2. I use the weather application and update it several times a day, but I miss one option that I cannot seem to find (if it exists). That is to save the locations I drive through now on my 5 week vacation. When I update, it figures out my new location and changes to this, but I want to keep more of them. Many of the places I visit don't appear in the Add Location function.
Hope you know what I mean
Thanks!
Hmm... try using m.facebook.com or 0.facebook.com (if you are a Vodafone client).
As for your second issue... I don't really understand what it is. You want your device to remember the places where you've been? If not, then please explain.

Open your webpage on the Google homepage, and change it from 'Mobile' to 'Classic', then google Facebook, and all should be well.
And if the place isn't in the Add Location function you can't add it to the Sense weather list. You'll need a 3rd party app or to use the internet to check the weather which isn't quite the same as the Sense Weather interface. You'll just have to keep using My Location I'm afraid.
Search these threads, there is an app here somewhere that will allow you to enter arbitrary weather locations based on (I think I remember) a 4 digit code you need to look up for each spot. Sorry, I looked at it but didn't keep it.

Ah yes you're right, I have seen that before but I couldn't make head nor tail of it. If you go the Accuweather website you can get the codes for individual areas, but I didn't have a clue where to input them.
think this is what you are thinking of. I couldnt get it to find my location as it finds it using 'my location', only the nearest big city, but i didnt try for very long.
You could always make use of footprints to take a snap with location data attached, then i bet theres a way to load the whole lot onto a google earth kmz or something.

I haven't even the slightest idea how to go about doing that, I think a spot of Googling is in order tomorrow.
I've given the little app a go but it seems to only work for major towns or citys. I can't seem to set my local village or town using the code, it just gives the My Location type 'Can't Connect'.

cant offer any advice, never used footprints, but it seems like a quick and simple option to gather location
Or you could simply use google maps and save a marker. That might be easier to extract the data from, but yoiu dont get a nice pic into teh bargain, hehe

quick and easy weather site. Even has animated radar.
There's a couple live wallpapers out there that I've been looking for. They show up on appbrain, but when I search them on the market they can't be found. I was thinking it's Vibrant specific, but appbrain shows that some of the users are vibrant phones. What gives? Why do some apps just not show up for me, and for other people?
There are several I've had this issue with, but the two in specific I'm looking for are Particle Storm and Giraffe Live Wallpaper Free. They're both free apps in case anyone has a backup of the APK files they could throw my way.

Hello XDA people,
When i put files on my SD card. Android doesn't see the files right away. Most of the time after a couple of boots. This is really irritating me. I unmount the device but still no files.
Does someone have the answer for this? Searched the crap out of google, but couldn't find anything useful.
And another question, when i have wallpapers. They show up like i want them to be on my background. But android gives you this retarded cut out tool. That enlarges the wallpaper. Does anyone know a good app to get rid or replace this?
Thanks.
You do know you can enlarge the area that the wallpaper thing tries to cut out? just drag an edge of the yellow box and it will expand it. Can't really help with the files not appearing tho, sorry.
Try "wallpaper set and save" - it's in the market and it's free. Or get Zedge (which is BRILLIANT!) That too seems to be able to set wallpapers a lot better than the native method. You just can't select your own wallpapers with that.
The other problem is something I've seen on the forums a few times. Do a search and you may find some answers.
Still cant find a solution for the file problem. Please someone help
@ johncmolyneux.
Yes i know Zedge it's good. Thanks for the solution for the wallpapers.
Anyone????
I think you have to set up ADB. That was the only thing i could do to get rid of this problem But ABD has it's benefits, believe me
Here's a guide.
Ok.. I use the Google+ app on my phone. But because it its not a web app, if I ever am on this network and I see some image that someone has posted which I like, many times I would love to be able to save to my phone. But because this an app, and not built for a browser, I can't just long-press and save it.
And obviously google has not as of yet built this functionality into this app in any other way.
BUT....after much poking and prodding in and to the google+ app, I notice that when you are viewing an image, you CAN set it as your desktop wallpaper!
But, once I set it as my wallpaper, I cannot find it! Using root explorer, I have searched for every .jpg, jpeg, .png, and .bmp and no dice. I have tried opening up quickpic (the free market app), and hit ”display hidden images” (which hides icons and other stuff you wouldn't want to see anyway), and look through EVERYTHING that is revealed...but still I cannot find it. Its on my desktop as the wallpaper, so it must be on the phone.
It is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any clue where a file like this might be stored? I imagine a wallpaper image could be anywhere in the sys partition or the sdcard, but it wouldn't need to be convertthan those above extensions I search on, right? So WTF? Where could it be?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
