Geotagging - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Is there a way to disable geotagging pictures taken with the camera without disabling gps entirely?

It Sucks no one has replied to this. I read that Samsung purposely removed the GeoTag on/off option on this model. I consider that a security issue.

Not sure if there is an option but I would just toggle GPS off then take pic.
Also facebook removes all EXIF data from photos so no worries there.
Additionally, there are some free EXIF tools I'm sure to remove the GPS info, pain yep, possible yep.

Viewing Geotagged Photos

Is there a way to view geotagged photos send though sms (from my htc to someone else's phone) with a map or link to a map at all? If this is only on certain phones using a certain application then I'd be fine with that. I just want some more info on this since I've unlocked the geotag option on my HTC Touch Pro. Thanks

I would bet that sending a picture via SMS/MMS strips out any EXIF as it resizes it etc.
This is a bit roundabout, but perhaps you can upload the pictures to Flickr and they can view it from there? If you have it turned on Flickr, it'll automagically geocode the images if they have GPS tags in them.
TrackMe can also upload photos and the user can see them from the website.
Perhaps someone will have other ideas.
Yea I saw those options but I went with web picasa for the web portion (since it's tied directly to google for gmaps and all). Too bad there doesn't seem to be an app. that can just sms/mms to someone where they can open the pic and have a link directly to the spot on mobile google maps.

I know you could end up with hundreds of photos of your pocket etc with this option but if it was a quick toggle or something.
Also works great with Galaxy SIII....

Audio recording for around a minute,basically to see if anyone is talking about you?
Or option to hide the gallery just in case they get in your phone and have a poke around?
Some ideas: include option to use custom alarm, and or option to record voice. I would record "Hey! What are you doing!" lol
Option to send/save pictures to email, dropbox, box, google drive, etc
Option to change sound alarm after x attempts
Allow clearing all records or individually delete records
and 9000+ more
The photos can be seen from the gallery. Make it save to a folder with a. Nomedia file, so the gallery doesn't see it

This was done intentionally so as to allow viewing pictures outside the app...

Taking the photo with the front camera is very usefull but it would be more useful if you have a GPS coordinates for that photo. I know that getting a lock from GPS could take several seconds but there's no hurry having the photo uploaded to Dropbox. I would prefer a switch in the app to enable GPS coordinates and then make a little JPG image with the taken photo and the coordinates below(or another JPG file with coordinates so Dropbox client upload it a minute later).
Geotagged photos would be helpful?(I have no idea how geotagged photos work if I open them at Dropbox from a Windows computer). I'm thinking about the stolen phone case. You would receive a photo of the thief and geolocalization, all in Dropbox.
Thanks for this great app!
Geotagging
I would love to see it include Geotagging data. Latitude and Longitude are stored in the EXIF data if the GPS and camera settings are configured appropriately. An option in Hidden Eye to enable GPS and geotag the image would be great.
How the phone owner retrieves that data from the picture is up to them, but a quick Google search shows lots of options including iPhoto and Picasa.
id like some easy features like picture after x amount of wrong quesses, and possibility to send mail/sms after x more failed tries.
Then little harder features like live gps location from say googlemaps. depends on how advanced program you are going to make this, but remote alarm by mail/sms with message. also 10000+ more if its going to be really advanced

+1 to:
-> Autoupload to Dropbox, Box or Drive cloud services
-> Geolocation
-> Audio recording+
-> Include .nomedia in folder and hide the snapshots
Turn on GPS and data to send Location, auto email photo and location to gmail, not everyone uses dropbox

Just wanted to say thanks for the app, hopefully my request is included for taking a photo without a pattern/pin lockscreen. I used this recently to catch someone snooping through my phone, but had to put a pattern lock on first. They denied they were doing it until I presented them with the evidence.

[Q] Hangouts/gallery/Photos linked up mess

I have searched around and found nothing on XDA or anywhere else about this. With that being said, I understand the existence of Gallery and Photos. Not complaining about that.
Is there any way to keep Hangout MMS pictures from populating their own albums in the Gallery app? Here's the issue, every picture I send, creates an album with prefix Hangouts then the name of the contact. Deleting the pictures from the Gallery app deletes it from my conversation in Hangouts too leaving a white picture and the three dots at the bottom which means that the pictures can't be found. This is not only for chats, but MMS as well. Yes I could go get another Gallery App etc... But wanted to try and see if anyone has it figured out first before going down that route.
There is no option to only view albums on the device itself. Disabling the sync, disables auto-backup.
Thoughts or solutions anyone?
+1 on this, I was randomly searching around google support for this the other day but never hit paydirt. Its annoying as hell.
Edit. You inspired me to go look again. Go into the gallery app select settings and turn off sync with google account. Go into main settings/apps/gallery and delete data and cache. Reboot. Worked for me.

Thank you! While you solution does work and I have tried it, it isn't quite exactly what I am looking for. Reason being because I do sync my pictures to my google account considering I just blew through over 70GB in DropBox storage and can no longer automatically upload pictures I take. Basically, I am looking for a way to selectively pick what to display in my Gallery app(I don't want anything Picasa/Google+/Hangouts/Photos in there). Since the intro of the Photos app which is mostly tied in with G+, it shows everything online, and if they are going to keep the gallery app, then they should at least allow it to be used for offline images available on the device(Just like Play Music has, where it gives you the option to to use music on your online account or what you have on your device).
Unfortunately, the dependency of the camera app on the gallery app, makes it impossible to revert back to a previous version of the gallery.
Ah, sorry about that. Not sure how you can pull that one off, I sure didn't see mention of such when I was searching.
Try making a .nomedia file in the picassa folder where it downloads the pics. And same to every other folder you don't wanna see in your gallery. This will help you select what displays along with auto sync enabled.

It creates one for every contact I send a picture to in Hangouts.
That's going to be a lot of files to be created. I guess there is no other way. Unless I just install another gallery.

I've been using Quickpic for years, and it's very stable and easy to use.

No it's not like that. You would have to copy paste only one .nomedia in the main folder of the data file of hangouts and one in picassa.

Exif and removing GPS

Hi All,
I have a strange question about GPS data in Exif.
I know how to remove it or modify etc.
In place where I work people have different mobiles phones Huawei, Samsung etc.
They made a picture with GPS tagging - I receive print screen from them that they have GPS coordinates in file in their mobile.
But I don't know why when some friend send me picture by company mail, or private mail like gmail, or even upload somewhere file has not GPS coordinates. (but they have proof in print screen from mobile that they have GPS coordinates)
It is illogical to me why these properties are empty.
Do you know which process remove automatically that data? Maybe is something with privacy policy?
Thanks for any ideas.
In my mobile it works, and I don't know how to help friends.

Question Date/Time Stamp Photos

Does any one know how to print the Date/Time Stamp on the photos by default? I know the workaround of opening each pic, and then adding a sticker but its a time consuming thing.
Can this be done by default with out a 3rd party app support?
Thanks
Um... the exif data should have that already and is automatically attached to the jpeg.
Android photo apps tend to have very poor exif management though. Canon apps are much better and easier to use.
