Dear all,
Does anybody knows an application or trick to enable the camera application print the date and time on the picture taken from the mobile camera??
i have Eclair 2.1 non rooted device.
Thanks
Don't really know why you'd need this; the date/time is in the EXIF data like all modern cameras.
That and it has to be the most obnoxious thing ever on pictures. I can't tell you how many times people asked me to remove it because they were too dumb to turn it off in their settings.
If you really want this you could add it later with software, or a command line tool like imagemagick.
I vaguely remember that the desire cam had an option for this.

I too would like this. I have to sometimes take pictures for work to show things were completed and installed in the way they requested and the date and time stamp proves that I was there on the date I was supposed to be. And not a lot of people even know how to view the EXIF data.
Once I too wanted the date on my photo and I used a tiny freeware called Photo Dater.
If you're rooted...try the Desire Cam mod. It has option to turn this on.

I've enable the ....\Camera\P10 in the registry, the GPS Photo option shows up, I've choose it and then the GPS initialize and there's an icon shows (I guess) GPS signal is ready in the camera mode.
However, I use it to shoot photos (it stores in MYPOI rather than MyPictures)....but when I upload it in picasa, there's NO position information i..e longtitute and latitute.....
Anyone experience the same?
Put GPSToday from GeoTerrestrial on your phone and it will work much better than the inbuilt rubbish, you can grab a copy from here http://www.geoterrestrial.com/ not only is this a cracking application it is free!
Just a small word of warning though it does have use the phones GPRS data connection for the mapping side of the application - not a problem if you have inclussive Data in your phone contract - Mike

flickr works for me, but it reads the data sometimes wrong (only the degrees of latitude and longitude, thought the minutes and seconds are also in the header, but this is a known bug.)

I've read everywhere in reviews and such that the Nexus One has geotagging and a macro mode in its camera.
Can anyone tell me where geotagging is in the camera app? I can't see any reference or mention to geotagging throughout the phone.
I also can't see any options for macro mode in the camera.

Look in the settings in the camera app, but I believe geotagging is a default option. In Froyo it looks like the GPS satellite icon.
Nope, can't find anything. I'm still on Eclair.
There is a geotagging option for sure, and it's in the camera. I remember turning it on. It's not called "geotagging", though. Might be "Tag photos" or something like that.
by default in eclair, if you leave gps active and take a photo, it should geotag.

It doesn't though, even after the Compass and Maps app gets a lock.
When you take a pic the beast puts some data with the pic, (date, time, focal length, pixels,....) and if the GPS is on 'n running (and thus knows where U R..) it will add GPS location info...(latitude, longtitude... etc..)
So,, when you then later look at Pic (on 'phone with, presumably, suitable APP [I ain't seen how to see these data with gallery] - or on PC with any number of bits of SW [I use gThumb on Linux]) you can see & do things with the GPS data...) you can see where you woz...
Some cameras (expensive usually) also GPS-tag pics... almost all digital snaps in my experience come with all the other tag data...

Further I assume you RTMF'd first...
The excellent Android Users Guide for 2.2 p 259 has this wee entry...
To view the location of a picture in Google Maps
If you have configured Camera to save location data with your pictures (see “Changing
Camera settings” on page 245), you can view the location where you took the picture
in Google Maps.
1 Touch a picture to view the controls and touch Menu.
2 Touch More.
3 Touch Show on map.
Google Maps opens, centered on the location stored in the picture.

I'm pretty sure it worked like this in 2.1 also...
Also Googles must use the GPS tag info when linking from photo to other stuff....
Cheers 'n hope-that-helps...

on 2.1, there is an option in 'settings' for security and location, which says store location in pictures, or something similar. give it a looksee.
once you've found that option, install GPSstatus from the market, and make sure you have a 'location lock' before you start shooting. it will affirm that your gps is working (1) and that your camera has access to the gps (2) for tagging.
after taking a picture, the 'info' bit should reveal 'show on maps' or soemthing similar. you can also see the GPS coordinates in decent image viewers like: picasa, mac preview, etc
"Store location" = geotagging.
Wait until you see GPS symbol, that'll say that GPS is locked and the location is accurate.

umm yeah, store location is the geotagging option. turn it on.
Hey guys, something I saw in the advertisements about the HTC One from HTC as well as even Best Buy's commercial show the ability to stitch Zoes/pictures together on the phone. This also was commented on in an Android Central article I just read but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Yeah, this is a little odd if you don't know what to touch. I "had" this feature when I got the phone, the "lost" it until I did some digging on the phone.
There may be another way someone can share, but this is what I do:
Go to your gallery App
Click on "My Photos"
At the top, sort it by "Events"
Now you'll see days you've taken shots (You can long press to choose to rename it to a specific event name if you like)
Click on one of the "events" to go into it. The top most item should be a Zoe to play
During playback of the stitched Zoe, touch it and choose the 3 dots (menu) to select the content you want it to use if you want additional control.
Remember you can edit individual photos, put effects on them, and for all but the Eifel Theme (which forces everything to black and white) this will make your Zoe more interesting to watch.
Pre-Trim videos to have Zoe use a particular scene
Otherwise, everything else is automatic for now
Are there any apps, hacks or mods that would enable manual focusing for our Note 3?
This morning I wanted to take some video from inside my office building of the inclement weather outside, unfortunately the phone kept focusing on the raindrops on the windoe instead of the target subject matter through the window.
Touch focus did the same things. A manual focus option would've taken care of that situation.

Did you or anyone else find an app for this? A manual focus option could definitely be useful at times
I am also looking for a focus override. The viewer shows that it can focus a clear photo but then goes out of focus. I've tried about 6 camera apps (Google, Lenovo SnapIt etc), and none of them solve the problem.

"Yours could be a hardware issue" they say, however, this issue was created by an inflexible system, autofocus stops us from playing with different planes...
There's no need to be a professional photographer to be aware of the restrictions that imposes an autofocus. I'd love to shift manually the focus however I like.
What's missing is someone who would have the knowledge and the interest of doing it.
For video, you just touch a few seconds the subject you want to keep in focus (while recording) and it will remain in focus, regardless of your camera's x/y movement, until you touch another area.
(a small "AF" symbol should appear on screen, which you should touch if you want to go auto focus again)
Hi everybody,
Any ideas to why possibility of using google lens from within google photos is missing.
Newest versions of both photos and lens are installed.
In addition locked folder is also missing.

I'm pretty sure the locked folder feature is only for Google Pixel devices at this point (all devices might get it eventually). I'll have to take a look at Photos on my Tab S8 Ultra regarding Lens. I wouldn't think by now that it's only for Pixel devices.
Well, according to google Forums lens is built into photos app and should be working on any device by now.
I mean, I can make it without folder thing since samsung has something similar which actually works but living without lens integrated into photos is going to be tough - I use this function a lot.
I have Xperia handset and both locked folder and lens works.
Maybe it has something to do with photos not being system app on my tab s8+
Thanks for taking time and checking if it works on your tablet.

I doubt if it has anything to do with not being a system app.
Great news. I was able to do everything on the tablet. The only caveat is that to use Lens, I had to go into an image in Photos and choose the Share button and then choose Lens. FYI, the first time, I found that Lens was "disabled" (maybe from non-use?), so I had to enable it, plus there was an updated version available.
And I found the locked folder fine via two methods - the Utilities tab and the 3-dot menu inside an image.
All screenshots taken on my bootloader unlocked, rooted Wi-Fi only Tab S8 Ultra.

Help & feedback
You're welcome! Are you rooted, too?
Thanks again for taking time to help me!
So, yes I can see option to set up Locked folder now in utilities. Fanny thing, it wasn't there yesterday, but works now.
When it comes to lens, your suggested workaround works too. Minor inconvenience that now hole process takes couple of additional clicks.
Still, why it can't just work like on a phone? ( I guess my OCD kicks in ). Even windows version of google photos has lens functionality built-in, but hey, at least the workaround is there.
Maybe it's a tablet thing, there are two versions of Photos, one for handsets and one for tablets, right?

No, I stopped rooting my devices couple of years back. But maybe with this tablet I'm gonna start again. I would like it to be...more sock android like.

If Locked Folder still wasn't available to you, I was going to ask you how long you've had the tablet - I was wondering if maybe being left on and connected to Wi-Fi (or mobile data) would eventually lead to the feature being enabled for you.

I agree. On my Pixel 6 Pro, if I want Info about the image I just swipe up, but it's weird that on the Tablet UI they replace the Lens button with the Info button. Maybe that's something that'll trickle down to tablets eventually.

Not that I know of, at least as far as it's the same Play Store entry no matter what - but I don't know for sure. Maybe this evening if I remember I'll compare version numbers for the Photos app on my phone versus my tablet.

If the tablet were my main mobile device, I would want to, too. I don't have the time to micromanage my devices too much these days, though.

The tablet is brand new, I had it for like 3 days.
At first, the only message in utilities tab in photos was one about joining my libery with my partners. After I clicked it away the next morning message about locked folder appeared.
