I currently have an iPhone 4 at the moment. I'm thinking of picking up a SGS 2. The latest iOS 5 beta have a map feature which shows where all of the geotagged photos are taken. Does the SGS 2 have something like that? If not, how does one view or enjoy geotagged photos on the SGS 2?
The only way I know is to first view the photo and then select the "Show on map" option.

If you do that, will it show multiple geotagged photos on the map? Or it'll only show 1 photo at a time?
Can you also make a screenshot for me?
Can someone answer my questions above?

As with all other Android phones, the 'Show on Map' feature will show only 1 photo at a time on Maps.

Thanks for the information! Is it possible that you can take a screenshot to show me how it looks like? I have no way of testing this myself because I don't have an Android device nor have I ever used one before.
Here is the image you wanted. What you need to do is view your picture within the photo album on your Android phone, press menu, then "show on map". You will be taken to the google maps app with a dot where the photo was taken.
A much better way though is to use the picasa web application (Google own that too!) All the photos that you have uploaded (you can set your phone to auto upload your pictures to picasa) can be shown as photo-icons on the map. Any number of such photos can be shown simultaneously.

So I'll have to download Picasa Web Application when I get the phone then? Can you do me another favour and take a screenshot of the Picasa Web Application with the photo-icons on the map?
OK here you go. One picture shows just the locations of the photos and the other shows the view where the photos are shown as icons in the exact place in the world. You can zoom right in or out to see more or less icons.
You don't need to D/L picasa - these screenshots were taken from the web application.
You could easily create a picasa account yourself and upload a few of your own pictures to see how it works.

Thanks for the information. When you say it's an web app, you mean the mobile version of Picasa Web's website? This means that I can get that same feature if I were to load up the mobile version of Picasa Web on my iPhone 4 as well right?
I meant the desktop version at picasaweb.google.com
I don't know whether there is an iphone picasa app or what it offers but there does not appear to be an official android app and the 3rd party ones do not appear to support geo-location. The mobile version of picasa does not appear to offer the geo-location facilities either.
I have the L920 and just getting used to the WP8 OS but there are a few functions i like to have
1. Organize my pictures into folders - instead of how they are now (all in one pile)
2. Ability to control whats on live tile
3. lock some pictures such as private or not in live view
The most important for me to have the ability to organize my pictures while Im using the phone (not connected to laptop).

1. This is easy to do if you
Sync photos to SkyDrive/Facebook, or PC (via Windows Phone app)
Sort into folders on SkyDrive/Facebook, or PC
Files will sync back to device in folders
Also, in the Pictures hub, try clicking "date" and then click one of the theme-colored dates to bring up a sorted list. This way you can quickly access photos without a lot of scrolling!
2. "Favorited" photos will appear on the live tile and as the Pictures hub background. Pictures > Favorites
3. Use Photo Lock or similar.
As for on-device sorting, I don't think you can right now (maybe SkyDrive app or Facebook app workaround?). I'm still on WP7.5 though so I'm not 100% sure on that.
Is there an app like that? I'd like to:
Browse all my photos (thumbnails)
Select some (or all) that do have geotag info (so those thumbnails need to be clearly marked as such)
Remove geotag info from all selected in one swoop - remove from ORIGINALS, leaving the rest of EXIF data and the file timestamp untouched. Simply, make it as if the photos were taken with the geotagging turned off.
I found the app "geoLLERY", which does 1 and 2 ok (having to navigate to the gallery folder every time is annoying though), but doesn't do batch and actually doesn't remove the geotag but lets you fake it.
Another question, if I may: Does anyone know a reason why the camera app would turn the geotagging option back ON, without me going to the camera options and setting it explicitly? I'd post it in ViperXL thread, since that's what I have on my HTC One XL, but I'm not allowed to.
Facebook has this rather simple gallery view if I want to add a photo to a Facebook app comment. It gives you a long list.
Whilst it works for those people with few photos on their phone, there some of us who have hundreds and the all inclusive 'Camera Roll' takes ages to scroll through them!
So I thought is there a Module that could force the Facebook app to use a gallery of my choice like Quickpic as this allows me to select from one of the folder of my Images I've got.
This would certainly be of use to active Facebook users with photos.
Comments please.

So like most people, I take lots of photos on my phone.
I'd like the following:
1. Local backup of original photos
2. Photos in albums online
3. Ability to securely share (ie. not public link)
4. Mirror of photos on phone so I can view without internet (lower quality cached version is fine)
This is my current process.
1. Sort through and delete crappy photos
2. Adjust photo RGB curves for dynamic range (A Better Camera would do this automatically, but my new phone doesnt support it)
3. Copy photos to computer.
4. Sometimes I filter them through Noise Ninja, if I do, then I copy the new ones back to my phone.
5. Sort them into folders/albums
6. Upload via Picasa
Now I can view photos on the web or phone sorted into albums.
Problems:
1. Picasa wont upload at the new higher quality
2. Process is tedious
3. Google Photos doesnt seem to keep a cached copy so what's left on my phone is the original camera roll which isnt sorted into albums. I could do that ofcourse, but then I'm doing everything twice.
4. No "auto-back" so if I ever lose my phone, I lose whatever I have processed yet.
Google Photos seems pretty good if I use their auto-backup. I could then copy all the photos to my computer as well so I have a backup of the originals. However, then I still have to sort into albums twice.
I'd appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to do what I'm looking for.
