Geotagging

Just wondering if like the HTC Kaiser the Diamond has the option to use the GPS Photo setting, I know that with the Kaiser the registry had to be modified, has anyone heard if this is the case with the Diamond.
Cheers
Andy

I asked that a couple of days ago already..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396136
No clear answer yet, unless its in the video's, but its hard to watch here in China. So I don't know yet...

why dont you guys dump the roms and check there before asking here. in short... yes it has the gps photo.

Sorry I am not that technically minded to know what dumping a rom is.
I had spent an hour or so on Google so felt that sufficent research time spent before deciding to ask the question here.
thanks for the reply though

geotagging
i will be writing a detailed post about geotagging using any windows mobile 5/6 device that has gps built in.
must warn in advance that any geotagging info written to file whilst still on the device is not what i will be dealing with (roms and al that sort of stuff will deal with tht) i will be talking about once your photos get to your computer.
check back here soon. cant do it now im at work.

According to the tweak post, stickied at the top of this forum, it requires you to change a registry setting. To do so, download any Windows Mobile registry editor, and install the file. Then, check out the Diamond Tweak thread, tip #13 (I've just copied it below, but the thread is really filled with valuable information!)
13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

It might not be the right place to ask this but does this mean the GPS is activated/deactivated when you start/stop the camera ?

nope, only when you go into the GPS Photo mode.

MMS picture in full size?

When I receive a mms picture message, the picture always comes out extra small then it should be. Is there anyway to fix the dimension size and get the MMS picture view in full size?

I think it must depend on the size of the picture you've been sent - as mine have always been full screen. Bear in mind that the Diamond has a VGA (640x480) screen and most phones send MMS pics at a lesser resolution.
The way to view full screen is to open the MMS pic, click 'Contents' which will then let you see text01.txt and Image001.jpg (or similar) which are the parts of the message. If you hold your finger / stylus on Image001.jpg then you get an option to Save. If you save the file then it gets saved in My Pictures and is viewable in the TouchFlo Photos and Videos... which means you can zoom in using the scrollwheel.

Your operator can also cut down the size to save traffic. It's done on the mmsc server, I believe.

I am also experiencing this problem, The Pics are only coming in at 4k, and when saved as suggested by p3eps It won't let me zoom in. Pics are about the size of a finger nail on the screen which just isn't good enough!
I am going to phone o2 to see if they are restricting something but I am on a unlimited data package so I don't see why they would.
If anyone else has any thoughts would appreciat it!

I've experienced the same problem with my original Orange ROM.
Since I've flashed my Diamond with the original HTC ROM I am able again to receive MMS picture in their original size and not in thumbnail mode !!!
But I've experienced this problem with other HTC models. I think it's a problem with the ROM install. A hard reset could fix the problem. Perhaps.

O2 in the UK do this, if the network doesn't recognise your phone it automatically downsizes the picture. I had this problem with my htc s710. I had to edit some registry setting to make the o2 network think my phone was an xda and it worked.
I cant find the post i found it in, but in sure if was under the networking folder on this forum.

Top Man thats sounds like the problem!!! Only thing is I have no Idea when it comes to registry editing!

Camera => Album = black (blank) screen?

I've searched and read (and read and read) but haven't found a solution to this. Maybe I've missed it. If so, please point me in the right direction.
I upgraded my new Tilt with Dutty's Diamond V1 (WM6.1) ROM. It has a new camera (v 5.04, build 29195) installed. When running, I can take pictures just fine. However, when I click on the right-pointing arrow in the lower-left corner, it's supposed to link me over to the photo album but all I get is a black screen. At this point, I can press on the "windows" button and launch Today where I can see that the album has launched and is running, but when I select it, I only see a black screen.
Is there a fix for this?

i got the same issue

your camera works fine? where are the photos saving to?

The camera works fine. I can save the pictures to either the device or the storage card - both work.

Some pix
Just so it's clear, I'm posting a couple of pictures. I used MyMobiler to capture the screens which, unfortunately, does not capture the camera image in the first frame.
The first frame shows the screen (sans what my camera was seeing). The red circle highlights the "Album" button.
When pressed, I get what you see in the second - nothing but black. The phone's not locked up, however. It's just not displaying anything. No album - nothing.
And finally, in the third screen, you see that both Camera and Album are running. Album was launched, apparently, by the screen tap in the Camera application but doesn't seem to quite get it right when launched this way.
Ideas?

so you have a black screen when using camera, but it still takes pictures, if that is the case try another radio.

its not a radio problem. i think it has something to do with a broken album link in the camera application. im looking for a solution as well, as i am having the exact same problem on my own cooked rom

No. I don't have a black screen when using the camera. I see things just fine when using the camera. Works just like you'd expect. What you're seeing above in the first pic is an artifact of the screen capture program.
The anomalous behavior begins when trying to launch the album from inside the camera application. That's when the screen goes black.
My initial thinking was as mbarvian has floated - a bad link or some bad parameter passed from inside the camera app. I was hoping that this could be fixed with a registry edit, actually, but couldn't find a registry key that offered promise.
(BTW, I tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't fix the problem. Just another data point to consider.)

So, nobody has a solution? Are others seeing this or just the two of us who have posted? I guess it's just something we live with until the day it's fixed?

Same problem same ROM...

when i had windows 6.0 i went on the htc website and downloaded 3 hot fixes for my phone ,then when i updated to the orange 6.1 version of win mobile i had the same problem as you ,( black screen on camera ) anyway i uninstalled the hot fixes ( they are not required on 6.1 version ) camera is now ok

Also, same problem... same rom.

Well, if it can't be fixed, I may as well have a laugh over it, eh?

Yours may be slightly different than mine. I don't really get a black screen on the camera - only when I launch the album viewer from inside the camera application.
The "same issue - same ROM" responses at least give me a measure of affirmation that there is a known unresolved issue. For now, I'll just manually launch the album from the launcher where it seems to work, and avoid using the call from the camera app.

maybe using advanced config. and making sure the photos are saving to My Pictures might help

Set to that by default already. Tried swapping it to DCIM just to see what happened but that didn't work either.

camer w/black screen
after upgrading tilt to wm 6.1, my camera takes photos, but the screen is black, no preview, until AFTER taking the photo, then it appears briefly. is there a CAB fix for this. please help

I think it may have something to do with the version of the camera fix. I noticed the problem this weekend after updating to the ATT Official 6.1 ROM. Installed a newer version of Nadavi HTC Camera and when i went into the camera all I can see was a black screen. I'm using 5_0_4_2915 which seems to have corrected the problem for me.

where can i get this version that you tried? i am having the same problem

TILT Camera issue after installing CAB file

Over at http://www.htcwiki.com/page/ATT+TILT (HTC TILT WIKI) The second to last item above under "New Features, Software, Resources and How To's:" is "AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) Camera HotFix:" which contains a CAB file to "correct the cross pattern under Zoom when using the camera on your AT&T Tilt (Kaiser, TyTN II)" After installing this "fix" I no longer can see what I am taking pictures of...The "viewfinder" screen on the camera is dark. I do get all of the options "x", "Photo", 1x, Album, and Menu....but just the camera does not show what I am taking a picture of. After taking the picture , the actual picture displays correctly, but in the "picture Taking mode" it is blank....Any suggestions? The phone takes pictures OK, you just cannot see what you are taking a picture of!

I am having the same problem! Can any of the HTC geniuses help us?

Help something wrong with my camera?

I installed Phoenix 2.5 on my phone the camera was working great then the next day i try to take a picture and it says "unable to capture photo. Unbale to get frame data from camera device" Does anybody know what to do please i take a lot of pictures and now i cant. Anything would be.

The album or camera cabs you installed are either not compatible with eachother or your phone.. I had the same problem recently... Try to find a matching pair of camera and HTC album.. and make sure it is one for your phone...
