hello, folks,
i have noticed that pictures taken on pixel 6 are missing location info
after transferring to my desktop (ubuntu). on the phone itself, Photos does show gps data.
of course, Camera app has permission to location.
but once i copy the jpg file to the desktop, gps data is missing.
exiftool shows gps metadata fields empty.
i've tried several other tools with same results.
any ideas?

I know that this is not really a Tab question but since I have one, I thought that I would post it here.
I would like to have my huge photo library stored in the cloud and accessible from an app such as Dropbox, Minus or any of the other similar services. The problem is that the file size of most of my photos is a couple GB per image. I do not have an unlimited amount of storage in my Cloud accounts. Also, I do not need to be able to access full size image files when simply viewing them on my Tab.
Has anyone found an app or service that will go through a library of images, resize them to something appropriate for viewing on a 10 inch tablet and create a new lighter image library that could be stored in the cloud?
In order to be useful, this should be a one-click batch mode process and have the ability to update itself as new images are added to the full size photo library.
Has anyone seen anything like this?
I look forward to being enlightened.
Bob
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.
Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 with CyanogenMod 12 (12-20150420-NIGHTLY-jfltexx). I've been using the standard Camera app (reports itself as com.android.camera2, v2.0.002) for the last few days with geotagging enabled. When I open a photo in Gallery app and choose "Show on map", it does indeed open Google Maps and show the photo's position correctly. But when I download the photos to my computer and try to use them anywhere else, like in "photos" on Google, it cannot recognize the geotag. I checked with some EXIF viewer if it has some GPS data written in the EXIF header: no latitude and longitude data, only two fields: GpsImgDirRef and GpsImgDir which are meant to store the direction where the camera was looking.
My questions are:
Where is the geotag stored? Is it somewhere in the file (which sounds obvious) or maybe anywhere else? I've just browsed through the source code of Gallery app and it seems to use Cursor and some queries, which seems like some database/SQLite stuff? I didn't dig deep enough to find out exactly.
How can I retrieve the GPS data for all the photos at once or - which would be best - save my photos with a proper, standard EXIF fields for GPS data?
I'm attaching one of such photos. When I choose "Show on map" in the Gallery app, it shows Google Maps with these coordinates: (60.908626,7.212069).
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
I almost have the SAME problem with my Galaxy S4. The phone itself stores EXIF GeoTag location in decimal with maximum precision, whereas the image transfered to PC shows coordinates in degree/min/sec format WITHOUT fraction of seconds, which misleads exact position to be set.

Any help is appreciated.
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.
Hello Everyone!
Due to finding no Ringtones to allot to my new email, and only a lot of files in that location, I stupidly removed the files to see if the ringtones would then appear. They didn’t”! I now seem to have deleted most of my photos in my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active mobile Gallery along with all the recorded data on my S Memo pages. And, probably, many other items that I have not yet discovered as missing!
I have downloaded an App called DiskDigger for photos. It has pulled up over 1,000 photos, some of which are duplicates or more. On wading through them and choosing an awful lot to restore, I am given the following choices where to restore them to - Bluetooth, Email, 3 named emails, Save as, Save to Drive, WhatsApp, WiFi Direct. However, once again I found a problem as I cannot move the number of my selected photos to the apps as there are too many chosen photos. I therefore took the second option and selected a named file.
That done, I found that they had ‘miraculously’ appeared in my Gallery! A further search and selection will, hopefully, repeat that.
I then downloaded an app that supposedly recovers documents named, strangely enough, 'Document Recovery'! It has recovered some documents which are proving a little difficult to open successfully to read. They go to a blank page after the indication that they are - 'Loading' - 'Opening' - then nothing!
I would also seek advice about a way to recover the details previously recorded on the S.Memory pages, if possible, (an app that works like a notebook where text etc can be written and saved.) and how to successfully open the documents recovered by Document Recovery and placed in an automatically named “All Recovered Documents” file.
Many thanks in advance for any advice!
Regards,
Colin.
