Anyone know of any good geotagging photo apps?
Footprints widget is cool but I haven’t gotten Footprints geotag to be recognized by any PC programs and footprints doesn’t take real pictures only square snapshots. And turning on geotag in the camera doesn’t seem to do anything.
I got geo-taggin to work on the regular camera when it came to working with Picasa.

Alternatively you could run a gps logging app (like My Tracks), export the .gpx file to your PC, then tag the photos using a PC app like GeoSetter. The upshot of this method is you can also use the .gpx files to tag photos taken by your standalone camera. The downside is you'll have to remember to start it up every time you want to take geotagged shots, either on your phone or otherwise.

Picasa has problem, cannot show GPS info from Kaiser's GPS photo. But Flickr has is ok.
I used Kaiser's GPS Camera function to take this photo.
I uploaded this same photo to Picasa and Flickr. Picasa reported this photo has NO GPS info while Flickr has no problem display the photo on the Yahoo Map correctly with the GPS info.

I use ACDSee to see the file properties of this photo and the GPS info are correctly shown.
Anyone has similar experience?
What is "GPS Camera function"... how to enable / use it?
By using the KaiserTweak.
I have the same problem...
Don't know how to resolve...
when I upload my GPS photo's to Picasa from my Kaiser they show up over 10 miles East?!?!
I will try some different hosting sites now....
4nt: I notice you live in London; Do you live close to the prime meridian at all?
I think the GPS Photo software has a bug with recording which side (East or West) of the prime meridian you are. I know mine for some reason records all photo's as being xx' xx.xx" E, even if taken west of the 0' meridian.

I thought the default camera app adds lat/lon to exif since 1.5, if not there is always snap photo...
Default doesn't, so probably go with SnapPhoto.
You can also geotag photos taken with a DSLR/digicam by installing Google My Tracks on the phone. Before you begin taking photos, you need to do two things: 1) Make sure your camera and phone clocks are synchronized (within 1 minute would be good). I suggest syncing the camera to the phone, as the phone gets highly accurate time from the GSM network. 2) Start My Tracks and begin recording your GPS position. Now just keep your phone on you as you take pictures. When you are done taking photos stop the GPS recording, choose the Save to SD option and export the track as a GPX file. On your computer, install a geotagging application like GeoSetter or Gpicsync. In the app, specify the folders containing your photos and GPX files. Then all you need to do is click the sync or apply button and the app will automatically look for GPX files with similar timestamp ranges and apply the geotag data to your pictures.

If you want to support OpenStreetMap.org and similar types of activities geotagged photos of street signs and photos in general are useful for the OpenStreetView project...
I am having some weird problems with my Gallery app.
1) Gallery seems to take a long time to open certain photos. While the photo is opening, the screen will usually timeout and turn off before it's even displayed. If I keep the screen awake, sometimes the picture will never load. I can flick to another photo and then back and I'll see the picture.
2) Copied a few photos to a folder on my Internal SD card. All of them are around 1-2M, 72dpi photos taken with various digital cameras. When I browse to that folder in the gallery, it will hang and take forever to generate the previews. Of the 10 photos in the gallery, 8 of them will not generate a preview and I can't open them. I have one photo that does open but the same exact photo that was touched up in Photoshop and has all the same properties as the original will not open.
Media scanner is working, I am able to add/remove photos to the internal storage and they open fine on my laptop, I can take new photos although they don't always show up in the gallery immediately.
My phone is the Vibrant and has been rooted, fixlag applied, and Captivate camera apk installed. This problem was happening before I changed the camera software.
Hi, I have a problem with the SGS not being able to rotate images the right way when you take a picture with the phone strait up... I upload alot of images to ex facebook and other photo uploading websites and the only why I could get the photos to rotate was to link it with the USB in windows and manually rotate them in ex windows photo gallery.
Is there any APP that can change or rotate images on SGS, or maybe they fix it in Froyo.
Thanks everyone for any help.
Photoshop Express (free on market) can rotate and save your pictures as well as lots of other effects too

Tried it don't work, as the phone thinks the images are already the right way i can't even rotate the image. It's like the phone rotate the images auto, but don't save it to the file :S
You can see if the picture is the right/wrong way in a filemanager like astro. Galleries just rotate them auto.
Okey, now i have a picture upside down... wtf!? Is there any linux cmd to rotate pictures or files, becouse im getting sick of this! My xperia could do this in a fly, why can't my SGS do this!?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Been there before.. what I did was use the crop function in gallery, but I still selected the whole picture, then click save. I will create a new file & upload it to FB..
or just simply use the rotate function of the gallery.
try it
Okay, so I'm having a weird issue on my Nexus 6
I have several camera apps on my phone –*Google Camera, Manual Camera, Camera FV-5, Open Camera, etc.
All of them save their pictures to the same directory (/DCIM/Camera)
For some reason, however, the only photos that my phone "recognizes" as actually being there are the ones taken by the Google Camera app.
What I mean by "recognizes":
If I go to Facebook to post an image, it will only show the ones taken by Google Camera
If I click on the image previews in Google Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
If I browse to the Camera folder using Device Folders in Google Photos, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
Much weirder still, though:
If I click on the image previews in Manual Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
If I click on the image previews in Open Camera, it only shows the photos taken by Google Camera
I.e., if I take a picture in Manual Camera, then click it's preview icon? It will show me the most recent picture taken in Google Camera.
I know these other images are saving correctly, in the correct directory, as if I browse to it in Solid Explorer, the files are all there and I can open them just fine.
But for some reason, any app that deals in media and not in file-structure won't recognize them as being there unless they were taken in Google Camera
I'm at a loss. I've tried deleting and recreating the directory; same issue. And it's not just one app that does this – any app that I take pictures in, the photos do not show up, unless it was taken with Google Camera.
Help?
