Guys I wanted to tag images dynamically using smartphones but the problem is I need to find location coordinates of phones besides each other so that the phones can be tagged ultimately giving the owners names!!! The issue I'm facing is that I can't use GPS for it as it is giving inaccurate results. So is there any other method to do it? Like by using the radiations our phone emits or something like that!!! Please reply ASAP...Thank you so much!!
P.S. : In a scenario , suppose 4 users are in a pic and want to be automatically tagged and android phones in their pockets, so in India , gps doesn't change at such short distance !!!
I explored a lot but just cannot find a way out so posted it here

Hi All,
Thought i'd ask for help instead of just replying
I have a casio FX-795P personal computer (showing my age here.....) and of course this machine uses BASIC (those were the days.. haha). I have written a couple of short programs that help me in my day job to work out co-ordinates, bearings & distances (im a site engineer). Whilst the casio does a great job of this, i would like a programme on my Touch Cruise to save having to carry two devices round.
Does anyone know of a a free app that does this? Or could someone write one? I can pm anyone with the BASIC programme to help and of course i will test & donate
Many thanks to XDA!!
How exactly do you calculate the distances? i might be able to send you a link to something of that sort..
but please explain EXACTLY what you need

Hi nir36
Thanks for the reply and excuse me for not explaining myself in too much detail at the start. The app can work both ways:
1/ It is possible to work out co-ords for unknown point B, from known A co-ords and the known bearing and distance using a simple equation.
2/ and obviously working out the unknown bearing and distance from known co-ords from point a & b.
ideally the app should also have a section for simple pythag; a2+b2=c2.
The app would have an initial screen with 3 choices:
1. New Co-ords (as 1/ above)
2. Distance & Bearing (as 2/ above)
3. Pythag
Hitting any of 1,2 or 3 above would then take you to a seperate screen where you would input the known data to which the result is then given.
If you are interested I will add the BASIC programs to this thread for your interpratation. I would be very interested in how to get started for writing simple apps for WM devices, as i have many ideas..... Dummies guide
Thanks for your interest.
unfortunatly i'm not a developer.. but i do implement PDA packs for facilities..
i'm not familiar with anything that does that.
that is, of course you can compute distances between 2 sets of coords using a simple GPS app like iGO.. but i realize that's not the point.
there's an app called GPSToday which can get 2 sets of coords on a virtual map and tell you the distance between them.. but i'm not sure if it requires a GPS or not.. you can check it out, it's free.
concerning pythag.. i haven't the slightest clue if there's something out there that does that.
i have one suggestion tho, if you're willing to pay for such an app considering it doesn't require much coding (as i see it),
open a new thread in the Development & Hacking offering a sum of money for developers to develop this app for you.
there are many developers here and i'm sure some of them are looking for cash
cheers.
Nir36,
Thanks for the advice, i will post a thread there. My idea would not need the use of GPS as the results are from simple set equations that just need a couple of variables inputted to get the result.
Yes you are correct in saying the coding would not be involved as i have written it in basic and it would just need a little development to bring it on.
Cheers Nir36.
I have recently purchased and HTC Desire S it is my first smart phone so I am going through a whole new learing curve. I need a little expert advice if someone could help:
Is there an app available that will allow me to increase the font size in the people folder as I am now reaching the point were the eyes are not so good.note: I have heard that it is planned in the next update(rumour only)
Having read with interest an article name HTC Operators Guide on the forum (a pdf awsome) I must apologise that I can not find the author of this, but having gone through it thoroughly I found Tasker to be very interesting, although a little deep, can anyone advise me if it is possible to do the following:
Automatically turn off my bluetooth (used for car kit) when in range of my home wifi and do the reverse, turn the bluetooth on as soon as I am out of range of the wifi. If it is possible the formula would be much appreciated as this would sway my decision to purchase.
Thanks

Hello there! This is the first time I write in the forum, but I've been following it since 2 years by now (or even more, actually!). I'm "relatively" new, so I hope I'm writing in the right section.
I'm working hard to be a developer and recently I've been contacted by private people to make a new gps app. I've never worked with these kind of stuff, so grabbing gps signals, transform it to show on a map your postition etc. I'm a complitely noob on this side. So, I would ask to whom is more experienced than me some informations about how to handle these stuff, if there's some guide that shows how gps services (on Android, of course) works to catch the signal and send the informations to the app and so on, some good article and stuff like this.
Thanks for the eventual help .
Hi all,
Firstly I'm sorry for posting a question here for what might seemingly be a simple task, however despite googling and researching for about 2 weeks I'm no closer to my goal.
I'm building a car dash using a nexus 7, and using kustom live wallpaper to create a unique frontend. Everything is going well however I am struggling with one thing...
I want to keep GPS on (no problem) which constantly grabs my location (no problem). I then want to set my location to a variable which is then pushed via tasker to KLWP (again, no problem!). My problem is that it outputs the WHOLE address. This is a problem. I've managed to get it down to displaying just the house number and the street name, however I want JUST the street name, eg King Street or Queens Avenue.
The idea is that while I'm driving along the road name is automatically displayed.
How on earth can I do this? My knowledge of tasker and variables is very limited and I've only been able to get this far by messing about with various settings but doing this for 2 weeks and not getting any closer is beyond frustrating. I know what I'm trying to achieve is not impossible which frustrates me more.
Guys and girls, I'm extremely grateful for any help or guidance.
Lastly, sorry for the whole 'new account 1 post which is a question' vibe. I've been coming here for years with a different account but I couldn't remember the password, and password reset returned a 404 page :/
Thanks again
Antony

Hello,
The Galaxy S7 has multiple variants and builds. Normally when asking this kind of question, you should include the model of your device. That way anyone wanting to help you actually has the knowledge to be able to do so. Phones have different internal parts, memory space, and so on. You can find your model number by doing the following:
- slide down the notification bar, sometimes you may have to slide down twice depending on the device. Click the gear in the upper right hand corner. "Settings"
OR
- Access your app drawer or all apps section and find your "settings" section/app. Most of the time it will have a icon of a gear, or three lines that resemble on off switches. Older androids sometimes use just have three lines (as the settings icon)
- Find the section labeled "About Device / Device Info" its usually labeled something similar if not exactly. Open this section
(Galaxy phones usually have this section at the bottom of your "settings" section)
- Somewhere within this section, there will be a label that reads "Model" and that is your specific variant which is needed in device specific situations.
* Take Note of this for future reference. You might think okay ill remember that. But when you come to realize your devices model number may be XDA-2017T1 and you look for something pertaining your device. You will also find something like this:
XDA-2017
XDA-2017YP
XDA-2017YP2
XDA-2017T0
XDA-2017T2
XDA-2017T10
Assuming that you will continually update and/or customize your phone. You will probably just memorize this, along with other important information. Some important things you should include while researching is as follows (the top two are very important)
1. [Model Number] ex) XDA-2017T1
2. [Android Version] ex) 6.0.1 Marshmallow
3. [Baseband]
4. [Kernel]
5. [Chipset]
6. Is device "rooted?"
7. Is the bootloader unlocked?
8. GSM or CDMA. Older devices even use IDEN
Those are only some.
* I also want you to know that im not trying to lecture you, or give you a hard time. I am honestly trying to help you and in order to successfully help you I have to ensure that you know things, or mention things, that is important to do. So your device isnt broken, or you get information that is correct but incorrect for your specific device.
But back to the topic originally referenced.
Q) "Is the program Dr. Fone able to bypass the screen lock security measures on the Samsung Galaxy S7?"
A) Based on limited information that is device specific, and the current Supported Devices section from Dr Fones documentation
"No"
• Dr. Fone doesnt have the capabilty to bypass your screen lock. They will probably include the S7 within a period of time due to it being a main stream phone though.
• Remember this; locks can and will be broken. Just because a vulnerabilty hasnt been exposed or discovered doesnt mean that its 100% secure.
• Keep current with OTA updates, keep in tune with tech type news.
• Encryption is vast subject, but I can refer to it like the "invisible magical ink" That was popular in the 90's. The light that reveals the ink to the naked eye, is your password. The inabilty to see the ink normally without a specific tool, would be encryption. So if someone cracked your password, your encryption would also be disabled. I linked more information below, for you to read. I still dont fully understand encryption myself, nor do I believe or trust it.
I based this information assuming your device is the SM-G930. It is accurate as possible but not guaranteed. Do realize with the information I mentioned and with the question you asked. I was able to do a simple Google search and almost immediately found the answers. Try to figure things out before you ask in the future. You can repeat the process of not researching prior to posting but typically your post will die. If you get stuck and have put forth honest effort, the great people here at XDA will probably help out greatly. I hope I have helped you, and you now feel better about your concerns. please pay it foward.
If you feel ive helped or gave a honest attempt to help. Hit the thumbs up, that is the thanks button.

I'm sorry, I completely forgot to mention the model of my S7, it is the SM-G930F on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, thanks for answering me.
On the other hand, I'm disappointed that a commercial program can unlock a phone.
I hope that this way of circumventing the locking of smartphones will be solved, because malicious people could use it to unlock phones that do not belong to them ...
The only way to protect yourself from this program is to install an application that protects personal data.
Thank you again for answering!
Wondershare Dr. Fonefor unlooking thr screen.
Wondershare Dr. Fone is a powerful instrument to regain iPhone lost information, it can help scan and recover them from iTunes or iCloud copies in case you've got backup your iPhone into iTunes or iCloud, or it helps you regain contacts directly from the device. Besides it's harmonious with iPhone 5s/5c/4S/ / 4/3GS and it might recover 18 kinds of content such as pictures, videos, contacts, messages, notes, and phone log, voicemail, voice memos, calendars, reminders, etc.. :good:
I agree with you. A commercial program available for a few dollars can unlock a password protected phone. What is Android/ios waiting to solve this threat?
