I should be getting my new artemis tomorrow. Im off on holiday soon and im hoping that when you take a picture there is an option to log the gps coordinates so you can tell where I was taken. Maybe you can even import them into google earth????
If this isn’t possible maybe there is some 3rd party software. Or any other good gps tracing applications??
Soz if this has already been covered, I have had a look at previous post!!!
There are lots of apps which get GPS coordinates. These are mostly for some Bluetooth GPS devices as diagnostics software. The German .NET Magazine dotnet pro had an article about getting GPS coordinates. If you are familiar with .NET programming you could write an additional GoogleEarth export.
Alternatively you could look after some ready made tools.
Im really surprised that nobody else wants to do this on a pda especially as the Artemis has a built in gps receiver!!!
!
I have since learned that this is called geotagging and some digital cameras with now embed the gps coordinated onto the picture. Web sites like http://www.panoramio.com/ which make a kml file to view your pics in google earth.
At the moment tho i have to find these coordinates by using picasa 2
and using their geotag option but you still have to find the location manually on google earth
download picasa here: http://picasa-server.com/?s=yp_uk&OVRAW=picasa 2&OVKEY=picasa 2&OVMTC=standard
It would be so much easier to be able to just take a pic on the Artemis and have the coordinates automacally embedded on to the file!
Any new ideas????
I heard that the Dopod ROM has this feature (geo coding). So solution for other ROMs yet.
im quite happy with my rom at the mo, dont wanna mess about with it. But if thats the only way i might have to look into it
Here is the solution to activate the gps photo on the Artemis...
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\
create a new folder called P9 and then
"ProfileName"="GPS Photo"
"MainCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040
"Enable"=dword:00000001
"2ndCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:00000054
"MainCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:000002D4
"2ndCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040
"EnableRecLimit"=dword:00000000
"RecLimitSize"=dword:0000005F
"RecLimitedType"=dword:00000000
"EncodeFormat"=dword:00000003
"CaptureFormat"=dword:00000002
"Property"=dword:018013BD
"CaptureType"=dword:00000008
"ProfileName_0409"="GPS Photo"
or you can import with Resco the attached registry file.
Some friend tell me that they have on the registry the folder P9.
In this case you must only change the registry value Enable from 0 to 1
That is awesome, great that this can be done via registry. Wonder why htc disabled it per default.

Yes. This is correct when the last ROM you updated from was the Dopod one.
While we are at this let me share my findings:
1. You can improve the camera pictures (at least if you uped. from dopod rom as I did) by going to the ext.rom with total commander and running the cab CP_061025_P800W_CamAgentCab.enus. The pic quality of the plain PDAMobiz rom is worse than the htc or real Dopod one, with a yellow hue
2. The radio rom is not updated, so it inherits that of last ROM before you went to the PDAMobiz one
Cheers
anyone done this yet? im just about 2 try!
It works!!!!! if you upload your pics to http://www.panoramio.com they will then create a kml file to view in google earth!
Cheers guys!!!
Yes, it works!
If you start the camera application,m you have to choose a different Profile in the left top of the screen.
Choose the Camera-sign with the cross, so the phone tries to get a GPS-Fix.
If the fix is established, you can make a photo.
But is the any other possibility to use the new information in Google Earth as panoramio?

Im not sure what question your asking?
I read the lat and long of the picture with an exif reader and use it in Google Map
It works in my P-3300. Thanks
just finding at the mo its about 100 meters out!!! anyone else found this?
Very GOOD!! but...

I've tried this and suceed to take photos. But how and where can I see them geo-referenced??
if you download googles free picture viewer/editor in properties you will find the coordinates. make sure that you have selected the gps mode on the camera it will flash up searching for gps signal.
GPS-mode in camera works great, thank you very much. However I've lost vibration function for incoming calls, probably coincidentally, but I'm not sure.

For the vibration function try to see in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script
you must have in the script a v with a number i.e v2 means vibrate for two second, or v0 vibrate always...
Like many of you i am sure an attraction of this device was the GPS function.... now i was wondering does anyone know of a program that can use the GPS to record the longs and lats and dump them to an xml file when a button is pressed? For example i take a photo, it has a timestamp.... i then take the long/lat with this program and save it to an xml then when i get back i can link it all up and then plot it to a map where i was and what it looked like... Anyone? Or even an automated way to take a GPS location save it to an XML and link it to a photo for example.
But really what i want as a barebones is just away to press the screen and dump the location to a txt or an XML with a line or so of writing so i can link it to what i was doing or where a location is.
Anyone?
Would anyone find this useful or is it just me?
For GPS exif data take a look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560
ok then that looks great howevs does anyone have a fix for making the minutes in lat and long differ? or have any info on a possible fix or another program?
Its the seconds that appear to be the issue, not the mins
strange though with the HTC Artemis P3300 it works fine but with the O2 XDA Orbit or the T-Mobile MDA C III it messes up, not found anything as yet to address this though - Mike

Check out the GPS Tuner website. http://www.gpstuner.com/
They also have a free program called "Map Calibrator" which I think does what you want.

Hmm i wonder can anyone extract the camera app and stettings etc of the P3300 to try it on the XDA/MDA?
And Mike you are right im sorry it is the seconds that are just coppied between each other.
I doubt the GPSTuner application can do this functionality, what we are talking about is embeding the Lat/ Long information directly in to a photograph taken with the onboard camera, its a nice application though all the same.
The GPS Software is the same on both the HTC P3300 and the MDA C-III (if you check the Exif info it lists them as 29.29.9.9 on either device - not got direct access to an O2 Orbit to check).
The Camera versions are the same but the Build number is different (24865 on the HTC P3300, and MDA C-III is Build 24724, will have to try "playing" around a bit more - Mike
If anyone wants to help, I've been putting together an application to fix this long/lat camera issue on the Artemis/Orbit
So far I have the following working
1. monitor a given folder on the device for new jpegs as they are created
2. query the satellites for the correct GPS long/lat values
3. update code to write to the EXIF GPS values for a given JPEG
I have a mixture of C# and C++ code, which I need to combine into a single application.
If anyone has C# or C++ skills and wants to help, then please PM me and I'll share what I have so far
I've also posted this here:

Ah that seems to be a great idea i will eargerly await any info on it.
I still hope that HTC fix this issue would be a great not to have to use additional applications.
Hi,
Can post a phoneskin with a big picture of the dialer, i seem to have a very small picture.
I checked some forumpages, but don't seem to find one...
Have the iphone like phoneskin now with fish-bubbles.
Thanks!
Best regards,

Slide2Unlock2 ?
Have you checked S2U2 ? There are some options for caller id, one of them is fullscreen...
Cheers

i have the t-mobile touch pro 2 and the images i send and receive are small is there a fix for this.?
i went in to the MMS options already to change the resolution size of pics i receive, and it didnt work so i set it back to original.
i am running build 21051.1.6.4
ROM 1.20.531.4
Radio 3.45.25.14
Here you go. This worked like a charm on my Touch Pro. I havn't tried it on my TP2 yet because I haven't received any mms messages yet. If you decide to give it a try, please let us know if it works or not.
ATTACH]207185[/ATTACH]
no i installed and i couldnt receive any mms
Some operators require you to download the settings from the operator's site and installing them first. Sometimes this can be done via sending an sms, or it has to be done manually.
I think T-Mobile also requires you to have first sent an MMS before actually being able to receive them.
small mms
It s the same s...t like HD on mms
Small pics small videos....please tell us if .cab do it better!
I also receive small pictures on mms, but the only person who I have received an mms from is my partner. Here phone is an older nokia 6230i, and I'm guessing that the size of the picture I receive is the size of the picture her phone is sending me... Is that not the case? As I'd definately like to receive bigger pictures!
Tested this out by sending a picture to myself (yes, aren't I sad hehe). The picture I sent, I sent in high resolution (sxga). The picture I received back in my phone was a small size... So I'd say it's definately down to a setting on the phone somewhere. Unless it's network dependant, and the network make the picture smaller (I'm with O2 UK).
Would definately like to know an answer to this!
Cheers
Any body any further ideas on this. Looking back on my old n95, I received the pictures at a much higher pic rate. So definately the phone at fault...
I installed the cab and it worked for two mms pics, actual size and all. Then it wouldn't let me send any mms, but would let me receive them. But they came as smaller pics again. So I just deleted that cab off my phone until another solution comes along.
Sorry guys like I stated in the post where I posted the cab, it worked flawlessly on my Touch Pro, but on the Rhoduim its a different story. And these small mms pics isn't worth a crap.
Generally what happens with tmobile is that it defaults to small blurry pics when a MMS is sent to/from a phone that it doesn't support. You have to trick it into being a different phone so that the network knows how to handle the MMS. I have had to this to every iphone i setup on tmobile's network
OK, I managed to get this sorted for my phone (well, so far so good anyway).
Way I did it... Basically what jim_0068 said. I made it beleive it was a N95 phone. This is how I did it:
Edit the registry using your favourite editor (I used the Resco File Manager Registry Editor). Then, Navigate to:
HKLM - Software - Arcsoft MMS UA - Config - mm1 - WspHeader
Then, edit the key "User-Agent" to:
NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
Now, edit the key "Profile" to:
http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
I did a soft reset, altho you should be able to get away without doing a soft reset apparantly. I then sent a picture to myself, and hey presto, it came through full size. I tried changing the details to a different phone model previously, but that still hadn't worked!
Hope this helps all others

**edit** The cab I posted is working for me and others, but it isn't working for some as well. So use at you own risk. It hasn't made any noticeable differences on my phone accept the pics are the actual size there suppose to be.
brilliant fix. thanks much!
just thought i'd respond and say i haven't had any mms issues in regards to picture size or blurriness.

just had o2 on phone to try to sort this told not supported phone.
but ran the cab tested and works

Hey
Does anybody know if there is a windows mobile 6.1 application that can display a contacts picture when you receive a SMS message or email?
I know there are hundreds for when you receive calls but i'm specifically looking for one that works with SMS and emails.
Can anybody help?
I have a Samsung Omnia i900 (WQVGA) if that will help
Any solutions will be greatly appreciated
try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328363
Thanks
I Guess this is what i asked for but its not exactly what i want
i should have made myself clearer
it does show caller ID for texts but its in the boring old WinMo notification box
im looking for something a bit more customised
kinda like the 3rd party call managers (PhoneEx, S2U2 etc)
it would be great if there is an app that can show a fullscreen (large) picture of the contact with the option to read the text/email or to dismiss/mark as read etc
Is this possible?
Thanks
