Geotagging photos with HTC S620/621? - HTC Excalibur

I have an external gps that has worked great with my phone. I've recently tried http://trackr.nl and it can accurately capture my tracks as well. It says that it can supposedly geotag your pictures, but it doesn't worked for me. I've also tried http://shozu.com and it says that it can geotag, but apparently that option isn't available for Windows Mobile Standard smartphones. So I also tried http://locr.com (it would error out when I tried launching.)
I'm interested in an application that can geotag my photo when taken, so that when I upload it to Flickr using Shozu or some program like that, it will be automatically geotagged.
Has anyone found the best application for this? I know there are programs where you can first copy them over to your PC, then run some program that will compare it to your trail log and sync it with your date/time stamps on your photos. But I was hoping for something that would skip the PC.
Thank you,
Tim

[Q] Windows 7 and half shown photos

This is not exactly a question for my Desire, but some of the photos I took with it are half rendered when I open them in Windows 7 photo viewer or windows media center - see attached photos.
Since I've installed windows 7 couple of weeks ago, this is my first time viewing new images with it. Old photos that I have do not have any problem.
The problematic images looks ok on my desire. I've copied them also to my laptop, which runs windows xp, and they are shown corectly. I've tried even to copy them from my laptop to a usb thumbdrive and then to my Windows 7 desktop and again some images have this problem. The weird part is that everytime I try to copy those images, different ones have this problem.
I also have some photos taken with different cameras and when I copy them from my laptop to my Windows 7 desktop, the problem appears again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Those images seems to be corrupted to me. I have experienced this when the photos were corrupted.
Why dont you try to send one of those pictures to yourself from the device by email, and then download it on the PC?
The same images are ok on the desire and on my laptop, so the is no problems with the photos.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Try a different image viewer?

Also noticed the same bug, while uploading the pictures on Picasa tool. I just uploaded again and it worked fine. Seems to be a problem with transfer that gets the files corrupted. Try to download manually the pictures from the phone to PC and then import to any editing tool you like.

Getting error message when trying to view photos in my skydrive using the picture hub

Phone: Lumia 900
Carrier: ATT
Version: 7.5
Hello,
Starting yesterday, whenever I try to view photos on my skydrive account using the picture hub, i get the following message:
"Can't get picture. It may be a connection issue (you can try again later). Someone else's picture? It may be an issue with their privacy settings."
Nobody is tagged in any of these photos. I can view them just fine from any PC. The first 3 pictures I can view no problem, but after that i get that message whenever i click on one. Thumbnails show up just fine but whenever i click on them i get that error message. This is not my skydrive camera roll, but a different album that i have made.
Using the Skydrive app, i can access all pictures no problem. Only recent changes I have made was to remove linkedin from my accounts, so i think that is not the issue.
Any help would be great.

Seems to have fixed itself. Its been like this for almost 24 hours. All I did was create a new folder, move a couple pictures into, upload a new photo, and all the sudden it is working again on my phone. Very odd.

Sync Solution for photos?

Hi
Despite being with Android for about 3 years I still haven't found an adequate sync solution, mostly for photos and videos. Can anyone help?
What I want is to connect my phone to my laptop, which is a mac. I don't mind if the connection is USB, wifi or bluetooth. USB is more flexible, there are times when I can't get both devices onto the same wifi connection.
I want the software to look at my photo archive on my laptop, and copy over any new files. It just needs to look at a date - if there are new files since the last time I synced, I want it to copy them.
Even better, though not essential, would be if it didn't mind whether I'd deleted or moved files from the laptop. It wouldn't look backwards, just see that the last sync was 22nd July and then copy any files since then regardless of whether the photos from 20th July had been deleted from the laptop but where still on the phone. This makes it easier to sort photos once they're on my hard drive.
I've tried Cheetah Sync, which works ok but only over wifi. If I'm travelling, there may not be a wifi connection. It also copies over everything - so if a photo has been deleted on the laptop, it's replaced again.
dropbox will sync photos and videos automatically

Oh, ok. I'll have a look.
EDIT - I came across a new app called CloudVault, which uploads photos to GDrive as you take them or when you're next on Wifi. Pretty good solution for me.

[Q] Latest HTC Gallery update [CLOUD]

Hy,
anyone saw that the new gallery update brings "Browse your photos and videos in the cloud" functionality?
Now I sure dont see any option for this but at night I got a notification from Coud that "duplicates has been deleted"...
I dont know where I can find this features, but I sure dont want any photos/videos uploaded to cloud without my permission... So if anyone have any info on this, I would really appreciate it.
Best regards

I have an htc one m7 that I just updated to the latest version, after a reboot it shows the same message "gallery cloud" duplicate... etc
It didnt ask for my permission, I have the htc sync disabled, cant seem to find the option to disable this POS. Not happy.
I just noticed this morning the same behavior. I am trying to find out where this service is coming from, why it is running without my permissions and why it is putting my personal information in the cloud somewhere and I don't know where or how to get it, shut it off, or change it. It has really pissed me off to no end. I am hoping someone has an idea.
Just came here looking for the same answer.
A bit of a **** move if HTC is uploading peoples pics without asking first!!
I've emailed HTC via the play store app and asked how do we turn this feature off. I'll post if I get an answer...
Chiming in. just saw this, not pleased. I'm thinking of disabling the app till a solution is found.
I might bin it too, don't want this feature using up my data allowance...I've got about 4000 pictures on my phone...
yea wtf
Same issue. my phone keeps giving me a Cloud Gallery notification every 10 minutes or so saying it deleted duplicate photos. What in the world HTC was thinking, we may never know. But they need to let us turn this off because I show it using my data. Not cool HTC.
To add to it, I open my gallery and its cycling through all of my photos. Constantly. I click a folder, then the 'highlights' starts fast-cycling through every single photo in the folder. Not like a preview as it used to (which was annoying). This needs to stop. As someone else mentioned, I also have thousands of photos on my phone and this is driving me nuts.

HTC Cloud Gallery does not upload any of your files to the cloud. It only indexes whatever you have on Dropbox, GDrive, FB, Flickr, only after you have agreed to link to those sites. If you see photos found by Cloud Gallery, those could be uploaded by Dropbox or GDrive automatically. You need to check their settings. Again, Cloud Gallery is a "read only" indexing service.
Started getting the same notification since the last few days -- and the worst part is that there doesn't seem to be a setting anywhere in the gallery app or in the system settings allowing to configure this "Cloud Sync" or turn it off all together.
And now I really don't know if my pictures got "synced" somewhere in someone's cloud Really annoying. Uninstalled the gallery app altogether with Titanium Backup root uninstall.

I have the same issue. Haven't found a solution yet but I wanted to let you know that freezing/uninstalling gallery will stop the cloud syncs but there are side affects.
I froze it and all seemed normal until I tried to set a contact image. Freezing gallery somehow disrupted the ability to link images to contacts. I tried it from within the contact app and through a third party gallery app and it wouldn't work either way. I had to defrost the HTC gallery in order to set the contact image.
There maybe other side affects but that was the only one that I ran into.

LG G Pro Camera Problem

Hello,
I have dropped my phone and the screen got broken. Since then something very strange is happening. Some of the pictures I've taken show up as broken in the gallery and other pictures show up in the gallery and I can open them with the gallery but I can't open them on other devices.
I sent the photos via bluetooth to another phone but they won't open on that device. I sent them to my email address. Same thing: could't load media or invalid photo. I also downloaded them via USB. Same thing. I can open them fine on my phone (the ones not broken). Anyone knows what could have happened?
Any help would be much appreciated.

There is a possibility that you have some hardware damage (excluding screen) but that doesn't explain why some pictures can be viewed only on the phone. I don't know how smart would be to do a factory reset (maybe your memory is corrupted? backup everything first) but if I was you, I'd send it to service.
