camera GPS can't turn off - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I can't seem to turn off GPS location attachment in Camera photos.
Anyone has the same problem?

Please use search. This was discussed the other day at the latest and many more times before that. Just a friendly warning. You'll get some guys I'm here that will jump down your throat for not searching first

I did search before I post this title.
I read the last post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909010) and it don't fully find the solution. I searched a lot place under google, yahoo, and bing.
Since that post was posted at Jan and until today still don't have other solution. Therefore I ask again, hope other people may have new way to solution this problem.

...
Ok, well I am not going to do the work for you and I don't know if I can post links. I just did a quick google search and came up with pages of discussion. The most helpful is on the first page from the T-Mo forums. There is NO solution, only a workaround. I know that there are posts on XDA about this topic, because I contributed to one of the discussions.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt in that you might not be searching for the right thing. In that case, google (or search here) for "geotagging"

Go to settings and under location and security uncheck use wireless networks. And ofcourse turn off GPS. Kind of sucks but will work.

[Q] Can I see who quoted me?

Hi,
Is there a way how I can see who quoted me. I know other forums have this option in the quick links. There I can easily see the posts where I have been quoted.
I am sometimes active in topics where there is a lot of discussion, and I do not know if I get quoted with an answer pages farther, because I cannot read trough all the pages.
If this option is already available, please tell me where I can find it, if not, maybe a good functionality to add.
Thank you!
I don't think there is such functionality.
Would be cool though .
There is a vBulletin plugin that does this. Maybe it could be added?

No, no, that's actually a valid question. It's hard to search for this kind of thing unless you know EXACTLY the right thing to search for. Believe me, I've been looking to hire another developer on two of my projects for months.
So far, I can sort of recommend vWorker. I haven't seen anything pan out from it yet, but here's hoping; it's gotta work better than looking potential candidates up individually.
I would search out the developers forum closest to the device you want to test it out on, then look for a experienced active developer...

Attitudes on forum sites

I recently had a problem finding a Rom on the site. I kept going to all the pages and nothing I did worked when I tried to bring up the Rom on my computer. I asked in the section Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. Is there an update to my Rom. Instead of getting an answer I got things like can't you read huh. I then asked a direct yes or no and got a Yes Man answer. I tried to click on the title Rom and it kept taking me to another forum page and nothing there showed the answer.
After several nasty you got be kidding stuff. I went to my phone and went on the site from my phone. When I clicked on the title Rom on the page it took me to the site where the download was. My browser on my computer was not working with the site.
If someone would have said that or said something like did you try clicking on the title using another browser it would have been nicer than all the nasty remarks I got.
I am new to this and I do not spend a lot of time reading the site as I am very busy working and raising a family. I love having the site and I love using the Rom's for my phones. I wish people would be nicer and not so arrogant.

Especially with the web issues you will want to report it.
Please also keep in mind if you are accessing behind a firewall that this too can affect your experience on the site.

Don't take this the wrong way. I honestly peruse as much as I can in the morning and then try to respond to what I can during the day. But 99% of the time I run out of time to reply so it's far more reading than typing.
If left on your own the other thing you can try to do is refine your search criteria. Try to get as specific as possible and include the device name or model. This may get you closer to the answer you're looking for as well.

Root lucid 1 was posted in the 'General' forum, not in Questions & Answers.
Lg lucid problems with fpse was posted correctly in the Q&A forum. However, there is no forum dedicated to this device, there is likely to be very little development for, or knowledge of, it as a result. Also, this post appears to be asking about ways to circumvent licence checks on a Playstation emulator - XDA does not exist to support any form of piracy, and you would be much better off asking these sort of questions somewhere else such as the emuparadise forums instead.
People aren't deliberately ignoring you but many, like me, will skim through the threads, click on anything that sounds unusual, and help if they can - if they can't that is another person who has viewed your thread, and with over 5 Million members that will happen quite frequently.
I think looking at the post and not replying isn't such a big deal, but i have been in the same situation where someone has time to type a condescending reply to try to make the person feel like crap, but not enough time to help with the answer except to say its in one or more of the 80 pages of the current thread.
so when I see a question that has been answered before and I know the answer I sometimes just takes the 30-45 seconds to quickly answer the question without bothering to point out that its been answered before.

And before saying the typical use the search function, have you guys actually tried it for specific answers? I really don't think you have.
It will take you to the right thread but not the right page. So its really pretty much useless.

It isn't perfect, but it's not that bad. Also, using Google to do the search and starting the search with
Code:
site:forum.xda-developers.com
will give a much more precise and accurate search result.
That info may come in very handy in the future. Thanks.

XDA is a Developers community, not a Tech Support Helpdesk. We are not here to teach you the basics of how to use your computer.
The suggestion of testing in another browser is something you should do by default if a website doesn't work properly.
We're happy to help newcomers, but there is a limit to every person's patience. This limit usually lies at the point where people show up on an advanced tech community and don't even know how to properly use bloody Google.com. And because this happens at least 40 times a day, that patience is stretched very thin for most.

The gear icon behind the search bar is Advanced Search. There you can select Posts for the result as opposed to threads. (bottom left.) This will list the individual posts.
And if you're in a thread, above the thread is another search bar: Search in this thread. This will show all the posts in that thread with the keywords you type in there.
It's not useless if you look for more than 3 seconds
I have used it lots if times, thanks.

You guys must remember,we all cant be jolly all the time,developers have jobs and families also,besides doing this for you guys for free,hours and hours and days,maybe weeks go by while trying to get the bugs out of a rom that everyone wants,while in the meantime,the guys boss or ole lady is yelling at them to get their ducks in a row and quit slacking,when all their trying to do is contribute to the community and make you happy,soo when a developer or some other forum contributor doesnt answer your question right away,its not you.Just be patient someone will eventually come along and answer it,also you need to remember alot of questions that are asked,can easily be google or searched here on the forum and you will find the answer yourself or figure it out on your own.Your right though at the same time,we shouldnt be grumpy towards people trying to fix something or learn.

Removing Google Now results

As most of you know, IB Times and Christian Post are the absolute worst sources for Android news. They post completely fictitious rumors without any sources and without mentioning that the past 1010928 rumors they posted were wrong. I made the mistake of clicking on a few of these stories, so for a few months, I've gotten nearly daily notifications in Google Now about Nexus articles posted on these websites. I want to remove these websites from my Google Now completely.
I did some research on how to do this, and Google said to click the menu button on the individual notification inside of Google Now and I can request that no more results from that website be displayed. However, that's not a choice. Instead, I have the option of whether or not to continue to receive articles relevant to the Nexus devices. I do want to receive articles about Nexus devices, just not from these sources.
Can anyone tell me how to remove notifications from specific websites without removing notifications for the subject of the articles? Thanks in advance. Also, I wasn't sure if this went in Q&A or Apps & Themes, so I made a judgment call and went with the Q&A forum. Apologies if it should have gone elsewhere.
Try deleting the offending pages from your Google browsing history. You may have to wait a few days after that for the cards to stop appearing.

I'll try that and see if it works. I thought of it as a possible solution, but figured I'd see if there was an easier way first. Thanks.
Edit: Ok, so I tried that, but it can't be the solution. Apparently I had already done this for both Christian Post and IB Times, and the only history results I had were three IB Times results from the past month where I clicked the link based on the headline without looking at the source first. All of the earlier IB Times visits and all of the Christian Post visits were gone. However, I received a Christian Post notification as recently as two days ago.

I've never been to those sites before GN, and they keep showing up.
I agree with what you are saying... garbage articles that shouldn't show up in my GN. Subscribing!
I would like an answer to this too!
I think I'll just email CP and IB and tell them to stop posting crap. :/

I'm curious too. I keep getting GN notifications for international soccer scores and it says below them that I searched for this team. Trust me, I have not. I don't search for any sports or teams. I went as far as reporting it to Google but haven't gotten a response. I've checked my search history and also deleted it. But they still appear at random.

I have actually emailed the authors/editors of articles on both sites pointing out all of the incorrect information and asking about sources. I have never gotten a response.
Anyone have any ideas?
Bump. This is the most annoying part of google now.

Agreed. I like the automatic nature of GN, but I would love more control over what pops up. Regarding those two websites, I'm sure they're just click bait. They always pop up whenever you search any rumors, so they get a ton of clicks for people to view ads. I doubt they care what they post, as long as people get them ad money.
dont you get that three buttons menu option at the right top corner of the card? i think you can remove the updates from there. atleast it shows me that option from some other sites that i visit on google.
This might be a stupid question and so I apologize in advance, but you do have the latest version of google now right?

Hopefully we get an answer for this I want my android and tech news but it's from a bunch of BS websites
I too hate that crappy news feed that Google now gives. There should be a voting system or report spam/irrelevant option in Google now so that these dumb sites don't keep posting in our 'interested' feed

Yeah. There is no option to remove specific sites any more. We can remove news about a topic, but that doesn't help as I want news about android, just not from these horrible sites.
Alright. Hopefully someone can come up with something.

I guess then Google must be pulling them from a list of most visited or best ranked news item. It just happens to be from these sites. I guess nothing much can be done on the user part

[Q] Thread search does not work

Hi,
Does anybody know why is the thread search feature of the forum does not work? Whenever I try to search in a thread, I always get empty results, no matter what I search for.
thank you.
I am having the same problem, and unfortunately, I can't search for a solution to the search issue.

if your using mobile, i think search feature is available on the premium version of xda app.,
Nope, not using mobile.
I actually think it may be tied to the 10 post minimum rule, that prohibits new people from posting in Development forums until they have reached 10 posts. Strange that it would also prevent newbies from searching development threads as well. Kind of catch 22.
