There is an option in dev options to check all sensors. GPS sensor can be found there and I remember that we've the altitude info.

Well, thanks for suggestion. It works great.
But I do was looking for "something" (an app) that directly was giving me the gps altitude.
Still didn't find it.
Thanks again

Try my app I quickly put together a while back, it will show altitude in meters http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2931689

WOW! FANTASTIC!!
Thanks a lot: now I can go fly and check my altitude from the watch (even).

I think this is a great app: BRAVO!

Just load Google Maps when you park your car, save the location. Then when you want to find it, fire up Google Maps and get directions. Thats all the iPhone app does more or less. Pointless app.

Very true.. but not so much use when roaming or when you have a bad data plan.

Very True, but it is exactly the same as G-Park.
I guess you could use TomTom which again would do the same, any GPS program that you have you can add a favourite then get directions to it.
if i remember right did tomtom not have last gps fix, i know i used it a few time when parking car in a big rally car park.

I use TT all the while in large car park / new town situations.
When you park 'add to favourite' and call it 'car parked'.
When you use it again in another instance you can simply overwrite the old fave with the same name / new location.

Geotagging photos

Does the HTC TP2 come with software that geotags photos (adds lat long GPS data to jpg) ? I cannot seem to find this function?
If not any good solutions?
In the camera app, click the menu icon (lower right corner when held in landscape mode), then the camera icon. This should bring up the Capture Mode menu -- hit Next, then GPS Photo. This will turn on the GPS receiver and will place the GPS co-ordinates into the picture's EXIF data.
You may need to install the 'Enable_All_Camera_Modes.CAB'.
So, once you Geotag a photo, what good is that?
I did it a few times, but you have to wait for a GPS connection before you can take the photo. It was annoying and I couldn't find any reason to even do it.
Setting GPS Mode on the camera is one good option, albiet sometimes it can be tedious waiting for it to lock to take a quick shot.
GPSToday can also geotag images in the background automatically or on-demand after taking the shot. Also does a horde of other cool stuff.

Thanks. Seems like my HTC TP2 came with no software to do this. I guess I will try GPS today and Enable_All_Camera_Modes.CAB when I can find them to download.
I find geotagging a useful tool as I often need to share photo locations with colleagues at work either using Google Earth or some other photo location display. I'd have thought HTC would have built this in when I bought the device but guess not.

It is built in. The 'enable all modes' CAB file turns it on. Not sure why they disabled it.
So where's the 'enable all modes' cab file located....can't find it??

Here, plus much much more. Camera modes are in post 5, but read it all, probably other things there you'll be interested in.

Skymap app for Nexus 7?

Are there any that actually work? Google Skymap won't change position when I point the device anywhere else. SkEye changes position, but can't find the moon when I'm looking right at it.
My compass is working fine.
These types of apps would help with nighttime landscape photography, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, Google Sky, InvisiVerse ans SkyEye all work fine for me.
If you're in the UK I think TPE and Rainwatch would be a better suited to night time landscape photography :laugh:

Thanks compact_bijou,
I have and use TPE a lot, I was just wanting to use something to help me find the north star and milky way and constellations before it gets dark so I can set up my composition while I can still see. I'll look into Rainwatch, unless it's UK only. I couldn't find InvisiVerse.
I'm running stock, so I don't know why Skymap and SkEye won't work correctly. On my captivate, neither work, but I think that has to do with the Rom I'm running.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Daydream View Location Permissions

Is there a reason for why Daydream View requires GPS to be enabled?
Looking for technical and actual answers, not just it helps with movement. Like what exactly is GPS doing that makes it required?

I would think for the street view use, it can go to your location.

Trusted face not working in Android Beta

I am on the most recent June Security Update and on beta P.
Has any one had an issue with Trusted Face? I don't have an option in the actual lockscreen. Usually when I press the power button to turn the screen on, the bottom would show a little face to show is looking for face detection... Now it goes straight to fingerprint scanning.
Any fix?
Thanks!
Same problem here. It works maybe 25% of the time, the rest just goes straight to fingerprint.
Hi. Im in P beta 3. I have the option of trusted face disabled in Smart Lock. You do not ? Have they been able to enable it ??
Sorry for my english ?? Thanks in advance

You could beg, and plead, with the person(s) responsible for those policies at your employer to allow the feature. IT guys like snacks... bring snacks when you ask.
