No, unfortunately we've spent a ton of money on a top of the line phone with an incredible camera and it doesn't save the photos... j/k j/k j/k!!!
I hit gallery and there is a folder that automatically shows up titled camera which is where all of mine are housed. If you open the camera app and click settings (the little gear icon) and scroll down there is a setting for storage. Check where that is showing, it's either phone or memory card, but I believe gallery will show them no matter where they are.

Hi there,
Recently had an epic trip (thanks to the volcano), left geotagging on for all photos, so I can see them dotted across a map of Europe.
Cant find any way of viewing them, I've tried uploading one to flickr, and it doesn't do anything automatically.
Is there something I need to do? Gotta say, the iphone geotagging feature is much better implemented...
Regards
niklz
my bet is on picasa as it is googles own photo hosting. On my picasa I have a small google map on the bottom right of my home page with a mark on florida for the photos from last years warped tour and dundee from a random jaunt i went last summer =]
I assume this is exactly what yours would show up like if you uploaded them all.
Im actually going to go check see if this works...
Edit: ok i cannot get geotagging to work, full stop... not good.
Any light shed on the subject would be awesome
Seconded, dying to see them.
If you open the EXIF data (right click the photo in Windows Explorer, properties, details) there should be a 'GPS' section which has latitude and longitude coodinates if the geotagging info has been stored correctly...
Nothing wrong with geotagging here. Take photo, upload to flickr, view flickr, click add to map and the map is centred on the geotagged coordinates.
If you check the photo properties on flickr you should see the following
GPS Latitude:
GPS Longitude:
GPSAltitude Ref: Above Sea Level
GPSAltitude: 79 m
GPSTime Stamp: 08:29:46
GPSMap Datum: WGS-84
GPSProcessing Method: HYBRID-FIX
GPSDate Stamp:
Just tried it in picasa (desktop version), just uploaded photos direct from phone to web picasa. Then sync the desktop picasa to your web albums. You`ll see a small red icon in the bottom left (google maps). Click on places icon in the bottom right and a map will open showing your locations of your photos.
Or a really cool feature is to select all your photos, click the geotag icon at the bottom. It`ll open google earth and geotag all then you can see all your photos in google earth.
In your Flickr settings, enable "Import EXIF location data".
Hmm, my photos don't seem to have any EXIF data on geo location :*((((.
I had GPS on obv, all I have done with the photos is copy them onto my hdd, using the HTC usb cable.
I have since replaced the phone, anything else I could try? Or has my old phone just cocked it up...
Regards
niklz
Just tried same procedure with new phone, no luck.
Sorry to be a pain, but could you do an idiots guide.
What settings must be in affect on the phone/PC.
What method of getting photos to picasa/flickr insures the uploaded file isn't compressed e.c.t.
Would be very grateful, Let me check if this new photo has geotags in the EXIF data.
Regards,
niklz
Bump, please cant get this to work atm...
I`m just uploading to flickr or picasa straight from the phone. Take photo, press share icon, send to my flickr/picasa account.
If you load into the pc they should be fine, but exif (geotag) data can be lost if you manipulate and resave the images in some software.
Also, on the Desire. Check the settings in camera has geotagging on, then when taking a geotagged photo make sure you have gps lock. The animated gps (satellite) icon in the top left corner of the camera screen will be replaced by a target to show locked location.

Ahh, its the lock thing! really really wish I'd have known this a week ago!
Thanks for the help, now it works fine. takes ~30sec to lock for the first time, is that normal?
Is there a decent geotag app for the desire, will google earth do it on the desire?
kind regards,
niklz
Yes usually takes about 30 secs to lock onto the satellites. You could always leave GPS on but then its going to eat battery.
Haven't tried any geotagging apps for android sorry. Google earth wont do it. Its pretty basic on android, recommend doing those kind of things on the PC.
aaah right. so yea i had the right idea but had no idea about the location lock. Cheers guys
Does anyone know if it is possible to geo-tag using only tower location? Used to be able to do this on my iphone and although not 100% accurate, at least lets you get a rough idea without trying to get a GPS lock?
Our is there an app which would do this?

Hey guys. I need a little help. I lost a picture on my phone as it got corupt. I did use the picture as a background on the messages app and it still shows when I text. Does anybody know where this picture is stored so as I can get it and save it. I would love to get it for my new S5 before I do a restore on my S3. Is there any program that would scan my S3 for pictures.
Thanks .

If it isn't showing up in the gallery, you'll need to know the name of it to find it. I would start with going to the My Files app and manually looking through the camera and downloads folders. The location will depend on how you put the picture on the phone originally. Did you take the picture with the camera on the phone? Did you download it from a website? Did it come from an app? Need to know that first.

Hey Thanks for the reply jack man.
I don't know the name of the picture. When you add the picture as a background in messages you have to crop it and then it saves it and it shows up in the picture selection for back grounds in messages. Its that location that i am looking for.
On a good note i did use titanium backup and did a restore data for messages and got the picture back as a back ground option. So i can use it again. But i would still like to know where that picture is stored on the phone.
Thanks for your help.

That still doesn't say how the picture got on the phone in the first place. When you go to the setting to change the background in messaging, it either let's you take a picture or view the gallery to select a picture. Is this one you downloaded? or took with you camera? If it gave you the option to crop it, it was probably in your gallery.
Try opening the My Files app. then click All Files. Then Device Storage. It may be in one of these folders - DCIM (if you took the picture with your camera), Download (if you downloaded it from the web or email), or Pictures (if you moved it directly to your phone from a computer).
It could also be on your external SD card if you have one installed. To check it, just back up to where you chose Device storage, then just choose SD memory card and look in the files there. If it's not in any of these locations, I have no idea. Good luck!
Also, if you downloaded the picture from an app (like Zedge), it may be in another folder that the app itself created for storage.

Yes it used to be in my gallery but it got corrupt and i cant view it any more. It shows up as a blank JPEG now and yes It was taken with the phone. However the picture can still be seen in messages. I would like to recover that picture in messages as it is the only picture remaining.

I've had that happen before. I think I fixed it by connecting to a computer and copy in it over then renaming it. Not sure if that was how... it's been a while. But it was something with renaming the file.
Hope it helps.
Open dcim and check the .thumbnail folder. Might still be in there.
Hey!
I recently bought the M8 and been having some issues with the HTC Gallery app.
1st: Snapchat pictures i take and decide to save end up in the Snapchat folder, but also creates a duplicate picture in another folder called "Pictures".
2nd: Automatic highlighting of photos, which make its own folder aswell.
I have tried to google/search around for some fixes and/or help to these issues.
Mostly people say "hide the folders" which is not an acceptable fix as the pictures will just waste space on the phone.
Anyone experiencing the same problems or know what i can do? All help is greatly appriciated.

If you click on the menu in top right corner and hide the folder that says All Pictures you will not get duplicates anymore and it is not a duplicate the gallery just shows pictures from all folder in the folder called All Pictures. I'm unsure about highlighting as on mine I need to select which photos to highlight.

Thanks for the reply.
Its not the "All Pictures" folder, I might have explained it abit poorly.
Whenever i save a picture from the Snapchat app, a new folder is created("Pictures") with the photo inside. Snapchat has it own folder in the gallery aswell with the image. It is not a mirror or shortcut to the original image. If i delete the folder the problem still presist the next time i save a photo using snapchat.
Hiding the folder or using .nomedia is not a fix for this as it will still use up my phones storage:/
Hi all,
So here is what my concern is.. I have backed up my photos on Google photos cloud.. and I want to reduce the file size of the photos on my zuk z2. I tried GOM saver and all in one toolbox image optimiser.. and what they do is they create new optimised image file. So when I open my gallery - or Google photos , every photo shows up in "today" as they got created today by optimising app। And it's all shuffled up and random. To fix this I had to remove all photos from my device and download from cloud again.
Can anyone suggest me ?
Inputs will be appreciated
Thanks

Check if the optimized picture has any EXIF data(date and time when the picture was taken), maybe then you have a chance to fix it. I use QuickPic app and it gives and option to fix the date. Check the attached screenshot
Okay thanks for the suggestion. Will try to fetch date and time by exif.

Hi..
I tried what was suggested.
I compressed 3 of my photos using all in one toolbox.
They started showing up at the top of my photos list as the optimised files got created today.
I went into quick pic - I fixed the date of those photos.
They still show that they're created today..
Thank you for your input though.
I am open to any more suggestions please.

Every pic you click will have an EXIF data. The app you are using to compress the picture is not replicating the EXIF Data (only photo taken time and date is required) of original pic to the new compressed pic.
QuickPic can only fix this if the EXIF data has proper date.
My suggestion would be, try a different app to compress the pictures which saves some of the EXIF data.
P.S. I have no idea if any Android app is capable of doing it. Long back I used to have some software(forgot the name) in Windows which gets the work done.

Okay agreed.
I searched alot but was not able to find an app which retains the exif data. We can manually change the exif but that'll be a lot of effort for just saving a little space.
Thanks though.
Thread can be closed.
Simply enable high quality upload setting instead of original.
Google photos will automatically resize without quality or exif data lost.
Also u will get unlimited storage on this setting
Hello guys
For both work and Personal reasons I am taking a lot of screenshot. that means that my screenshot folder on the gallery has more than 1000+ photos.
That said, it annoys me that they are saved in camera folder and then autoupload to Google photos. Is there any way to change the location to, let's say pictures or downloads? Is it doable?
That is a lot of screen shots. As far as I know, you can't change the automatic upload folder.

Maybe try moving the folder (doubt this will work) or changing it to a secure folder.
I see one easy way. Google sounds like the problem.
Back up to a SD card instead of using cloud; saves battery and bandwidth.
