Here's the deal with the way I share photos. I don't do social media, I don't have "walls" anywhere. I show pictures to my wife and folks and they send pictures to me. But doing this via email the way we do now is cumbersome. Snap...open email...attach...no not that one, the other one...delete...attach...add email addresses... etc etc etc. And that's not even addressing the issue of file size limitations.
I need something super simple that allows sharing of 1-4 pictures quickly after taking them without having to manage a whole social media app in the process. Does something like this even exist or am I not a market that anyone cares to create an app for because my photo use can't be monetized by a marketing manager?
Thanks guys! Any app suggestions would be great. If it could work across Blackberry as well that would be great. All I can find is flickr??
I just use my dropbox account. added my mom to the photo folder and she can just go to the dropbox website. The dropbox app makes it very easy to upload photos right after you take them. This works for you too. If they just upload photos to the shared dropbox folder you can view them from computer or phone. Only problem is you don't get any notification of new content like you get with e-mail.

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.
Dear Android developers,
Most of you should be aware of this on going issue with Android:

Basically, when you synced with GMail Contacts, the contact photos will be replaced with the low resolution 96x96 pixel resolutions that are stored in the GMail Contacts.
So, is anyone up to an application to workaround this?
I have a very good idea, an application that does this:
- Start the application
- Click the "Replace" button
- Then the application will search all image files in folder /sdcard/ContactPhotos
- For each matching image file name with "<lastname>,<firstname>.png", the application will replace the contact photo with that image file
- Process until finished with all stored image files
- Done
The idea of this application, user could easily replace all contact photos using locally stored high resolution image files, in one go.
Whenever, our contact photos are replaced with low resolution from GMail Contacts or after flashing a new ROM, or other means, we can easily restore them back with high resolution easily!
So, please, if you are capable of making this kind of app, you could be the one who solve this years of Android problem.
Thanks.
just sign in to FriendsStream widget with facebook or twitter, and sync with all contacts!
this will fix this issue and images will be clear and hq
Very nice
Should be said that it's a ICS speficic problem
This is not about Facebook/Twitter contact sync.
This is about GMail Contacts sync.
Those two are different, if you dont know.
And not all people (contacts) are on Facebook/Twitter!
I also heard that even with FriendsStream/SyncMyPix, to sync with Facebook, you will not get high resolution image.

No, this is not ICS specific problem.
This problem is known issue since as long as 2008:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1265
Wonder why we don't have workaround like this suggested app ...

Well would say it is The actual size when people call is decided in the phone and people app. Android other than ICS will still be limited to the small sizes. Only ICS supports 256x256 pictures and will therefore only benifit for a server upgrade / this app

Moving to Q&A
In GB, I can replace contact photo with high resolution, no problem with that.
But once you sync with GMAIL Contacts, it will be replaced with low resolution.
Have you read the original Google bug tracking started on 2008?
You should, then you would understand.

If you read carefully, I was not asking to solve a problem as by tweaking or changing configuration.
I was asking someone who could write an application that does specific task, replacing contact photos using high resolution images stored locally.
Got that?

Did anyone actually do something like this? Or found an existing app that does something like it?
The closest thing I have found is this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipson.ContactPhotoFinder
But while it is possible to search your local storage, it doesn't perform a search & match for "Contact Name" and "Contact Name.jpg"...

This seems to fit the requirements:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621031
I am looking for a way to prevent photo deletion without inputing a password first. I know there are app lock apps and photo hiding apps but I am not looking for those. On jailbreak iPhones there is an app called Photector which requires a password before someone deletes a photo from the gallery and would love an option on Android but haven't been able to find one. Would be really handy when you take embarrassing photos of someone and try to delete it later by grabbing your phone Thanks in advance!
Hi Everyone,
I am growing increasingly frustrated with WhatsApp and given it's such a popular app I have come to admit the problem must come from me and not the app itself.
Simply put, for any other messaging app (Messenger, Telegram, etc.), whenever someone sends me a message, the experience is pretty straightforward:
1) The image/video is already loaded and visible in the thread
2) I can click on the image/video to go full screen
3) I can click on the 3 dots or equivalent to save the image/video to my gallery
I fail to reproduce the same behavior with WhatsApp. It seems I either get to have all images/videos downloaded to my gallery, which is useless and insanely annoying. Or I get blurred thumbnails for images/videos in the thread and then need to download to see.
FYI, I have a Samsung S9+ with latest updates.
Thanks for your help!
