Picture taken to Show on map - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pictures in the Gallery, when clicked on of the pictures to 'show on map', there is no red pointer in the map to show the exact, location of the picture taken. Previously i am able to do it with Note 5.
Is there a way to on the red pointer in the map?
Thank you.

You did enable the GPS option in the camera app? When enabled, the location when shown in Maps should work just fine! :good:

GPS tag is on in the camera
I did enable the GPS option in the camera, and it did show on map. What I mean is, there is no "red pointer" in the map to show the exact location of the picture taken as in Samsung phone.

S4 Camera / Photo / Email Problems, you too?

Anyone else having these problems:
(1) blurry photo's - I have removed the sticker and still get a lot of blurry photos. Sometimes it could be due to me moving the camera but most of the time I try to hold it very steady. I get the issue with HDR, Sport, and Auto modes. I did some research on this and tried chaning some settings but I still get the problem a lot. Some full sun photos look great, but way more blurry photo's than I would expect (coming from iPhone 3GS as a reference). I have these settings for past couple weeks:
PhotoSize: 4128x2322(16:9)
Burst Off, FaceDetect Off, Metering CenterWeighted, ISO Auto, AutoNight Off
Antishake Off (I think this was On and still had blurry photos so tried off),
GPS Tag Off, Review Off, VolumeKey Camera, Timer Off, WhiteBalance Auto, Exposure 0, Guidelines On, Flash Off, Voice Off, ContextFilename Off, ShutterSound Off
(2) edited/cropped pictures (from the Gallery) are saved in PNG format, why not JPG!?!? Did I miss an option for this somewhere?
(3) I use yahoo mail, occasionally I share a photo from the photo Gallery app to email (from the s4 to my email account). After receiving the email, I cannot view the pictures in the yahoo email webpage or on the computer after downloading them from yahoo). Same for JPG and PNG. Windows Photo Viewer says "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file apears to be damaged, corrupted, or is too large". In the stock S4 email app, I have the Default image size set to Original. What is going on???
(4) Pictures are not rotated correctly when viewed in Windows (browsing DCIM folder directly from Windows). Is thi camera or Windows... this is frustrating that this type of issue still exists in the camera world with all the sensors.... the image should not need to be rotated! Is there a fix for this?
I did some searching and I see some people have crashes with the S4 Gallery app... I have not had that problem.
Thanks!
Another problem
(5) in the Gallery, if I use "Set As" to set lockscreen wallpaper from a photo I edited with the Gallery edit feature.... it won't set to lockscreen. I wonder if it is because of changing images to PNG???
I tried going into Application Manager and clearing cache and defaults for the gallery.... same problem.
My picturers rarely come out blurry, and I can set pictures that have been edited as my lock screen or home screen wallpaper...unsure about the whole yahoo email thing as I don't use yahoo. And I don't see the big deal of edited pictures being saved as PNG instead of jpeg...than again I'm not a picture snob so I wouldn't know the difference.

Motion Panorama Conversion?

I took a couple of panoramic photos but didn't realize that the motion panorama setting was turned on. As such the file size for the photos were quite large (30-50mb). Is there any way to convert the photos to a non-motion one so the file size isn't so large?

Is there no option of "Save as image" or export ?
Can vaguely remember something like when I've done it
No options in the gallery app or in the file explorer I'm suing (Solid Explorer). The motion panorama photo is still in JPEG format.

Try to find the picture/movie from your camera: Start the camera, click on the tiny icon of the last picture you took and swipe until you find the correct one. In that you should see the Save photo option.

I've tried as instructed. The only options I see when I get to the picture is a "more" in the upper right of the screen (options include: rotate left, rotate right, details, slideshow, set as contact picture, set as wallpaper). And on the bottom of the screen the other options are auto adjust, share, edit, and delete.
Hmm... I guess there aer enough apps to remove exif information. Maybe those work to remove all extra info.

How to Use "Scene" with HTC Photo?

HTC's Photo application is supposed to support "scenes". Here's what the PDF documentation says:
Choosing a scene
Instead of manually adjusting the camera settings, you can select a scene with predefined settings that best matches the environment you're capturing.
1. On the Home screen, tap the camera icon to open the Camera app.
2. Switch to Pro mode. See Choosing a capture mode for details.
3. Tap [A] and then choose a preset scene. Select:
[moon & stars] when capturing nightscape such as a city skyline or street with city lights. Keep the camera steady when taking the shot for best results.
[man running] when capturing a fast-moving subject such as your kid playing sports or a moving car.
[flower] when capturing a close-up shot of a subject such as a flower or insect.
4. When you're ready to take the photo, tap [shutter release].
If you need to manually adjust a scene and save it as a new preset, see Manually adjusting camera settings.

Note that the documentation uses graphic icons for [A], [moon & stars}, and so forth, which I can't reproduce in the quote. See the screen-shot attached.
Also see the screen shot for what my "Pro" mode shows. I can't find the [A] to tap, to select a different scene. How do I get "scenes" to work?

This is what mine looks like in pro mode, If I tap on the top auto (A) I get the icons
Swipe down from the centre top where the 2 lines are..

Camera and qr codes?

Is there a way to get the camera to scan for qr codes, like iPhone and Pixel phones?
The best I've managed is to take a phone and view it in the gallery - the menu on the bottom right, after a moment (10 seconds?), adds an option to 'Scan QR code in image'. That's really not good enough, imo. I don't want to have to take a photo at all, let alone use gallery to decode it.
I pushed quite hard to get Google to add the feature to their camera (after Apple added it). They've had it in their 'lens' thing for a while, but you have to be online for that, which precludes scanning for wifi credentials. So, I was pleased to see it on my pixel, eventually...and disappointed that Huawei don't have it on their camera, even though qr codes are prolific in China (though, admittedly, they are WeChat ones, so are essentially broken).
FWIW, I've now found qr-code scanners in many places, though not built into the camera like it is on the Pixel or iPhone's camera.
1. It is in the Huawei Assistent as 'Scan - Hivision'
2. From the lock screen (press the button once), swipe up from the bottom and it is on the row of icons (the right hand one on mine - but perhaps they are configurable).
3. From the home screen, swipe down in the middle, and the search screen appears - on the right of the search field there's an icon for the qr scanner
4. From the camera app, on the top left is an icon for the qr scanner
5. From settings, click your HUAWEI ID (the top most item in settings), and the qr-code is on the top right.
The icon looks like a globe with the corners of a square around it, like a view finder on the world (see below), except with 5), where it's a dash ('-') with corners (I guess '-' is indicating only a qr-code, while the globe indicates some other scanning functions).
So, yeah, they have them all over the place, though I think it is essentially the same scanner and part of the Hivision package/app/whatever. Yes, it does work offline too (useful for scanning wifi qr codes).

How to change the image selection app when using Chomp SMS

This seems like a simple question, but I can't find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.
0. Pixel 4A running Android 12
1. In Chomp (my default SMS/MMS app), when I want to send a picture, I click the small picture icon under Tools to select an image.
2. This opens an app with "Gallery" at the top and all my pictures.
3. The Gallery app has no date seperators or controls to change the layout of pictures - it is just one long grid of pictures.
4. Unfortunately, Gallery seems to sorted by date taken only. As I scroll down, there is no way to tell when a picture is was taken (no breaks between dates). So, when I need to find a picture from last year sometime, I scroll forever - back and forth - trying to figure out if a picture I see was before or after the picture I want. This is nuts.
5. So, I want to stop using Gallery and start using something better - preferably F-Stop (where my pictures are organized by folders, keywords and dates.)
6. My first try was to disable Gallery - however there is no app listed as Gallery, Photo Gallery, Google Gallery, etc (At least I could not find it)
7. My second try was to disable Google Photos (and it sorts by date taken but it has breaks between different dates ) - I disabled it but no change. Gallery still opened as the selection app.
8. My third try was to attempt to change the default app for pictures - but there isn't one. I see defaults for Browser, Calls, Digital assistant, Laucher, Phone app and SMS app - nothing about images.
I'm stumped (but that is not hard to do to me)
Does anyone know how stop Gallery from opening or use a different app when in Chomp?
I use Chomp but don't use it to send pictures, but try this
Let the gallery app open and in the top left hand corner there should be a Recents icon, this should open a file viewer that also shows a 'Browse in other apps' bar where hopefully your app of choice is shown, tap that and you should then be able to pick F-Stop organised the way you want.
You may have to do this each time though
Thank you. The frame in the upper-left corner looks like a broken picture. However, when tapped, it is a search box that also lets me change apps. Thanks again for solving my problem.
