GPS/EXIF Camera Option WM6 - partly solved

since I've updated to O2-GER WM6, and enabled the GPS Option in the registry, it's not working any more as it does in WM5. I can take photos in that mode, but when I switch to it, the GPS is not activated as in WM5, and no exif data are available.
Anyone an idea?
Edit: I've posted a workarround in #7

Ahh it would be nice if this worked out because the lat:long on the old version of gps-photo taking in WM5 was broken.
Peter? Are you saying that it doesn't ind a signal so trips out? Have you changed any defualt settings for the GPS config? eg Com 4?

Also want to see the registry hack for this one.

Same settings as in WM5, and same registry entrys. I had hoped, that the lat/long buck would be solved, but the problem grows.
In WM5, you could see, that GPS would be enabled, if you change to that camera mode. - Flasching GPS-LED and runnig dots in the lower right corner of the screen during GPS.sync. That doesn't occur since WM6
The attached file is the WM5 registry entry !

Same problem here GPS photo mode do not work any more on wm6
the option is there but GPS does not work

This might be a solution for that problem
http://www.mobile2day.de/news/news_details.html?nid=11575
But it didn't work with my WM6 Orbit in the demo version.
I apologize that the Link shows only a german web site

Meanwhile I've found a workarround with the internal funktion.
The lat/long bug semms to be solved!
First I've enabled the P9 camera funktion.
When I start the camera the first time, a screen appears, where I am asked, where to store the images. It doesn't matter what I choose, but the 'don't show this message again' should not be marked.
When I now choose the GPS Exif mode, it works.
When I start the camera a second time, it wont work, if the screen where to store the images doesn't appear. So I have to choose the internal memory in the upper task bar. Closing the canmera and starting again, the desired sceen appears again, and the GPS funktion is working.
I've tested it with the O2Ger WM6

Hi can anyone fill me in here If I understand correctly you can take a photo in GPS mode.
I cant find this anywhere Iam still using WM5 not 6 so where can I find this capability, hope you can help..

Take the registry file, I've posted in #4, and add it to the xda registry, and in the camera menue is the GPS mod enabled. But ther is another bug in WM5, so You got a position error in east-west direction up to 1/2 mile

excuse me being stupid where is the registry i cant find it LOL

No matter!
The attached file camera_gps.zip in my post #4 in the beginning of this this thread includes the registry entry for WM5

What do you do with GPS embedded photos?
Hi guys,
I am able to take GPS photos with my HTC P3300. Could anyone please tell me what to do with them? Sorry for the STUPID question but can they be used as POI's for Tomtom? If YES, how?
Thanks for your help!

You can regard the place where You took those GPS photos in google earth.
These function is implemented in several pc viewers, e.g. irfan view.

I am with you guys so far but how and where do I paste it to . I cant find how to paste to the registry could someone help please
I imagine its easy and I am just being stupid but I cant work it out
Thanks

Thanks for your prompt reaction...
Is this the only thing we can do with these photos? I thought that we could use them with TomTom or other nav applications.... Please let me know. Thanx

You need a registry editor like Resco Registry
Go to HKLM/ Software/Htc/Camera/P9
and set enable to '1'
thats all

still doesn't work, i see the exifcamera icon in the setting of the cam and yes enabled the p9..but gps doesn't start. no blinking orange left led.
any updates fro wm6?

See my post #7. There I have described the workarround

i did it, but it didn't worked...so i tried it again.
i went with resco to the key and yes it was already enabled. so i put again 1 in de key and saved it over and damn NOW IT WORKS!
just one time till you turn the cam off (you can take as many pictures if you like), so as i understand it, everytime you want to do it you have to save the key again to use it.
Thanks a million dude, lets wait now for someone to solve it permenantly.

Well you also need to go in the camera settings and change the mode to "GPS Photo". Why on earth was GPS photo disabled on the O2 Orbit!!! They missed a massive opportunity there I think.

do you know what "pan mode" is ? I don't know how to use it ....

Very nice. Work find on my Trinity ...
Thx !!

Works great on my trinity too.
Except for one function: the zoom one.
Anyone has managed to zoom in a particular part of a photo?

nope that is a recent english one as I am using it!

Pan means you can take a long shot of something by moving the camera left to right

Yes, that works fine - but some practice is needed to make it with finger. Try with stylus first.

Can you link it here?

PANoramic ?
PAN appears when reading a photo in HTC Album..how could i take a shot if i'm reading my photos?

info
On my first post you will see the second image, you wil get that if you open a picture and dubble tap in the center, then press the "i" for info on how to use gestures....if you want to zoom in make a complete circle wit you finger clockwise..but if you want to zoom in on a small part of the foto..make a tiny circle on the picture on the part you want to zoom in....

[REQ] Action Screen for HD with 12btns

Hi everyone
Is there a chance that someone of you guys (your really great in this forum!!!! Have to thank you over and over ) could make a 12 buttons version of the "Action Screen App" released by Fabliv for the Touch Diamond?
See his Thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422136
So for exemple there could be buttons for "sighs sorf reset app", a button for the calculator or/and a button for beyondpod or so. I think the possibilities are infinite!
Hope someone can create such a app!
Thanks in advance!
Ascenca

That looks like a really cool app. Would be great to have a main tab in TF3D for it as well, called "Shortcuts" or something.

That's a great idea, I would be very interested if this gets available for the HD! I hereby declare myself available for beta-testing if needed
I was thinking 12 buttons may be a bit much... I thought 9 buttons would fit better (the screen is only 160 pixels longer than the Diamonds VGA display).
However, when I look at the programs tab in TF3D, 12 will probably work fine

Yes it would be amazing have still buton for "soft reset" and maybe "mute","turn orientation screen" for example. I used action with 9 icon in my diamond and now still in my HD. This is very helpfull app.

Hi...
I have a same idea...
but i don't now for the other 3 button...
if you have an idea...
For Example: tom tom, igo ecc....
What we put ourselves in these three new buttons?
Excuse me for my english....

Hi guys
so is there nooone with the knowledge (and the time) to do the mod on the Action Button Program with 9 buttons to a version with 12 buttons?
Think many would appriceate is, most of all me
Ciao
Ascenca
Ps: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

bump please

For those who have tried, can you tell me if the existing 9 button version works with HD?
Would it simply add an extra tab to the TF3D?

Have the version 6.1 installed of Action Button and works perfectly. Doesnt add a tab in TF3D but you it will replace the left softkey button in the today screen of TF3D. Easiest way to start AS!
Amazing program in my opinion!

Hi Asceneca,
where did you find version 6.1? I can only find version 6.
Can you reassign the buttons? Does it run full screen on the HD?
Thanks

Hi tedkopp
the version 6.1 is only a 9 button action screen.
Below I posted links to two threads which point to the 12 button version of AS!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473059
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496759
Hope you will find what you are looking for in those threads.
And yes, the 12 button version runs full screen on the HD.
To reassing the buttons you have to deal with the xml files of action screen. Search for it in the forum.
Hope I could help!

That's exactly what I was looking for.
Looks great on the HD
Thanks Ascenca

if you would use the search button (just click search and write:action screen) you might stumble upon this also:

Cheers guys....
You change the repeat rate from registry
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\RepeatRate default 8->4 (or less)
Had no probl. w. double tap to zoom in Opera. You can check the Opera setup with about:config from your browser

Hey, thanks for your speedy reply!! if it were not for people like yourself my diamond would be a very dull device indeed!!
Right, I changed the repeat rate and tried from 4 to 3 to 2 right down to 0 and it seems to have no affect on my problem...for example, on my older builds, if i repeatedly pressed '.....' it would input the dots for however many times I pressed the button into my text, even if it did take a few seconds to catch up...now wen I write a text or somethin, i have to wait until the last letter I have pressed is on screen before I can enter a new letter...if I type too quickly, it misses out loads of letters until it feels ready to recieve a new one...before I could just type away and I always knew it would catch up with itself and remember what I had pressed a few milliseconds ago!! now I can repeatedly hit '.......' and only 1 dot will appear on screen! i have to wait a second before I press '.' again! same with backspace....i used to be able to hit backspace repeatedly very quickly and delete a whole load of text, even if it took a second to catch up, now I press it several times and only 1 letter deletes!! I have to wait a few milliseconds to press backspace again before I can delete another letter! very very tedious!! any ideas??! its really buggin me, its ruining the way I text and email. its not just the dots or backspace...every letter is the same, so its basically impossible to type quickly... I've tried another keyboard 2! 'fingerkeyboard' which is really nice and looks great, but it does the same thing!! last build (6.5q) worked fine and the same way as my original 6.1 rom.
Also with opera, I had alook at the config options, but could not see an option to enable double tap to zoom! I dont suppose you know a registry tweak for that aswel do ya??
Looking forward to your reply!
Kind regards

Enable HTC application launcher

Hi all!
I've installed a new skin to my TP2 (that was a big fault) everything was going wrong..
All buttons are completley white, horrible loading animation, etc, etc.
Now I have restored nearly everything. The only problem is that my startmenu is now as the old windows mobile drop-down menu. I want to have my HTC application launcher back. I think that it is a simple register setting...
I've searched here but cannot found a solution.
Can anybody help me with this problem/setting?
Thanks is advance and sorry for my poor English!
Ranney

Check out the sticky. The registry edit is there.

Since you messed it up so bad, it may be a better idea to backup your data and do a hard reset.

Good idea, but everything else is working right now, and i was hoping to wait until the wm6.5 version is ut (official) so I can use the installation time for that moment...
Can you help me with a register file from the malia settings? (or do you have other good idea's?
I think that the problem is simple --> I've installed a verry ugly skin. I was trying to remove it but Wimo give me everytime a error (failed to remove....)
So I've uninstalled it with SkTools, but I think that it has not restored the previous settings, but that it hase removed all the register values from the skin file...
Thanks again for all helping people!

Personal: This was the problematic skin... ==> [THEME]*Sergio76* [Dark&Light V3.5 Final Uploaded] Full Theme 26/09/09

there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:
HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu
"EnableManilaStartMenu"
Change 0 to 1.
Hope that works. this is how I changed my quick programs to drop down menu (I prefer the drop down menu better).

Thanks for the replay,
I have searched for that register value, but cannot find it.
So I have restored some parts of the register (after a backup) in the HCT/Malia map and the HTC EnlargeMenu (In local machine and Current user). but still not working. it is already a '1' in there.
So my (simple?) conclusion is that there is a deeper problem.
Still missing other register values, or missing files that have to be somewhere to run that program menu...
Anybody else a good idea?
Thanks for al your good idea's and help!
I'm using the device at my work (medical information/patiënt information) so it's nice if I could save the installation and wait until the 6.5 update will come out!

Update: Just did a hard reset to my device. Hoping that that will help fixing the problem. the device was after al these problem verry slow too...

hehe. I've hard reseted my phone at least 10 times since the last week I've had this phone. it's the only way to test out apps to find the right one that works for you. I do installs and uninstalls. eventually I will find an app that [email protected]#$ up my phone, or that works really well. this will be an on going process for at least 3 months until I find what to settle with. It was like that with my Mogul, and it will be like that even more so with the TP2 because it's such an awesome upgrade.
