I think it's great that several people report in the issue(s). It should increase the chances for a quick fix :-)
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Do bear in mind that if you're indoors, GPS Satellites may not be detected. I have noticed that when trying to use a car navigation program inside my house (Testing purposes only....I hope) there are no or only 1 satellites detected. However, upon going in the car and using my phone while my dad is driving, GPS boosts to several satellites and pictures are all tagged with GPS location and street level info too! ;)
[Desire HD General] ingolfzp:
I noticed my phone geotagging inside a building withouth any GPS-signal. The picture was tagged on a location several kilometres away :-o

...but when I'm on a mountain with full coverage (11-12 sats) - the pictures sometimes aren't tagged at all.
[Desire HD General] Stoffl_:
Geotagging works for me.

Just checked 2 pictures from 2 different dates & locations, surprisingly accurate.

Too accurate for GSM triangulation.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Same here. Works fine but with not 100% accurate location.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
I guess that is a basic that we all should know that by now... gps indoor rarely works...
[Desire HD General] oneflewover:
Where are you located and who is your provider?

I'm on Orange in the UK and my phone is going back. HTC said it is a fault with the phone and suggested i send it back, it is only 3 days old.

I can get location lock on Maps and go straight to camera, set to geo-tag take photo. It has not stored any EXIF data.

And no, i'm not inside.
[Desire HD General] ingolfzp:
Yeah - so the phone shouln't geotag pictures taken indoors with a location that's way off. Strange.
[Desire HD General] RaindancerAU:
It will geo tag indoors, but it will use network traingulation if it cannot get a GPS fix.

Anyway that is not the problem we are discussing here, it is that when you actually have a GPS fix, that the still somewhat crappy HTC software has issues with geo tagging.

In general, I'm quite frustrated with a lot of the HTC software and widgets. I like Sense, but not so hot on the level of finish on most of HTC's other software offerings :(
[Desire HD General] oneflewover:
They are picking the phone up later and dropping off a new one. Will post findings.

Could do to hear from folks whose geo-tag is working correctly.
[Desire HD General] Leechoonhwee:
How to check the picture to see if they are geotagged???

EDIT : I found it.
[Desire HD General] oneflewover:
And are they getting geo tagged? by GPS?
[Desire HD General] oneflewover:
Got the new handset from Orange and exactly the same. Spoke to them again and shall be receiving a 3rd handset tomorrow!

I'll let you know
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
if you mean, only by gps satellites, yes, but you have to first open a gps app, preferably gmaps, get the gps fix, open the camera, and then take a photo... it will geotag your photo...

but this is not the way that it should geotag the photos (again using only gps satellites). It should be all done on the camera app...
[Desire HD General] BobCat78:
I've found this to be true for quite a few apps on android (desire) and Touch HD (WinMo)

opening maps (maybe it has something to do with aGPS?) was a sure fire way of getting a fix for other applications
[Desire HD General] oneflewover:
So the 3rd handset arrived, with another 8gb memory card, now have 3cards and 3 headsets!

Anyway, the camera now takes photos and saves the GPS data just as it should. Doing nothing different to the other times with other phones.

HTC must have some serious quality control issues.

May I say, Orange have been very good in sending out new phones, complained monday, new tuesday am, complained tuesday pm, new weds am, however technical assistance was very poor, even level 2 technicians questioning whether the feature even existed on the handset.

My advice to others with problems, persevere with your supplier.

Thanks to those who took the time to answer.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Sorry to ask, but is it only with GPS Satellites option or also with Wireless networks option??

Also, what is the version of the rom?
[Desire HD General] oneflewover:
It will take either, now. It wouldn't do either on the first 2 handsets. So if I have GPS off - it will use wireless data. If GPS on - it takes from GPS.

1.40.61.2
[Desire HD General] RaindancerAU:
Too true! How inane it is to have to go through such a procedure, the photo opportunity could well and truly be over by the time you even open the camera app :mad:
[Desire HD General] :
Hi,

i got this message by the HTC support:

"Thank you for your information. We have to pass on to the development."

Let's see what will make HTC to solve the problem
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Keep up guys, don't let this issue go down...
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Updated to 1.72 rom, but still no fix :(
[Desire HD General] stoffan:
hi guys, anything new here? i'm using an 1.84 customized ROM, but the same problem with GPS fixed taging. works for anybody?
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Try the 2.3.3 custom roms... They are still not perfect, but they are on the right path (too much complicated to explain from mobile)
[Desire HD General] stoffan:
ohh, spent too much time to make it all perfect, wont experiment because of that. maybe later ;) thanx for the info anyway!
[Desire HD General] atifhasan86:
mine does it, its off by a good 25-30 meters, but that's just it.

works fine by all means. for me, that is.
[Desire HD General] nwnwnw:
Hi,

for me, geotagging work fine (Rom 2.3.3), but I don't see GPS-icon on camera screen. It's not perfect, while I never know if fix is on or not. Have anyone a GPS-icon on camera screen (like on Desire for example) ?
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
How can i forward a contac to others?

like sending vcard etc. etc., couldn't figure out how to do it?
[7 Mozart General] Necroman_AI:
I don't think you can send contacts right now on WP7...
[7 Mozart General] breakbystealth:
They forgot to add this basic function, but there is an app called textcontact light which you can get from the market place for free which can do this. thats what im using. hopefully they will add this in with the upcoming update after xmas.
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
o microsoft ....
[7 Mozart General] duncho:
I sent to Microsoft a list of improvements that WM6.1 didn't offer, but any other basic phone on market did for ages...

One of developers chiefs promised implementing these in WM6.5. Of course it has never been added to WM6.5 and as I see nor to WP7...
[7 Mozart General] ZeeShh:
well, let's see, microsoft claiming that they are serious with WP7 this time. I agree thay there are lots of features that basic phones are offering but microsoft forgot to add here. so let's wait.

Any news Orange rolling out WP7 updates for Mozart?
[7 Mozart General] breakbystealth:
i have seen there is one coming out in january which will have cut and paste plus some kinda satnav software, but not holding out hope as oarnge uk is offering a satnav which still does not work and they may bloke the satnav update as its going to mess up them charging for theres when it does work.

HI peeps,

I have a Motorola Milestone [Singapore] currently running G.O.T 2.2.1

Any solution?

Hi

Could someone please tell me how to go open the debug menu in the new official 2.2 browser? I get too many redirection problems. It was "about:debug" in the url bar on 1.6. Thank you.
[Streak 5 General] streak4m3:
If you're using the official Dell 2.2 build then I believe it's the same. I changed the settings so the browser acts like a desktop not a mobile device when it opens the web pages.

[General Questions and Answers] tiwey:
Everyday we hear about the newest technology coming out for mobile devices. but if we at XDA could design our own branded phone, how would we do it?

what would the specs be like?

would it run a home-baked version of android? or the latest WinMO? how about Ios4?

screen size? would it be small like the aria? or a 4.3" screen? or would we opt for a tablet?

speaking of screens? pixel Qi? Super AMOLED? basic LCD? FAMOLED? or the famous Gorilla Glass? how would we view our device?

would it be running 512 RAM? or a whopping 1024 Mb?

would we go for the 1.2 Ghz dual core processors? or conserve our battery and stay at 800 Mhz?

would it come with a QWERTY board? or on-screen only? hard buttons or touch-sensitive (for the main four buttons)?

What other crazy technology would you guys like to see in the ultimate XDA-Mobile device?

as a side note- what about pre-installed apps?
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
I'd take the HD2, and add SPB MS5 and S2P.

Job done.

God I have simple needs :D
[General Questions and Answers] KCRic:
Wouldn't this be a fun task to be chosen for. Lets see:

Stock Android would be the OS with an Nvidia Tegra2 dual core processor. I'd slap 1536MB of RAM in it, the other 512MB would be for the OS and another 1024 for the user. Because I like having a hard keyboard there would be one of those, obviously making it a slider. It would support recording in 1080p from it's 12MP camera with xenon flash and have a mini HDMI output on it. The radio module would support all GSM 3G bands and have the ability to utilize 4G if the carrier has it. The wifi would support the N band as well as B/G. Wifi tethering would be included along with NFC. All that would be displayed on a capacitive 3.7" 640x960 (~300ppi) S-AMOLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass. The power would be supplied be an advanced LiPoly battery with carbon nanotube electrodes in it to increase output and run time. Surround that with a aluminum alloy case and I think I'd be set. I might think of more later.
[General Questions and Answers] Pickx:
4" [insert latest OLED technology here] screen, landscape QWERTY, Tegra 2, great speakers, 1080p video out, SD slot accessible without removing battery, not designed by Samsung and definitely not in glossy black

That should last me for years and is not at all farfetched (I'm guessing we will see something like this around Q2-Q3 2011, and hopefully by then HTC would have tamed their recent obsession with cutting corners)
[General Questions and Answers] GarJones27:
After really putting some thought into this, here is what I came up with:

Hardware

Processor: nVidia Tegra 2 Dual-Core

Memory: 1024 MB

Screen: 4" FAMOLED 800x1200 (~360ppi)

Camera: 1080p (30FPS) 8MP with dual xenon flash (back); 3MP front facing camera

Keyboard: On-screen (Swype)

Connections: WiFi a/b/g/n with latter being dual band; GSM (850/900/1800/1900/2100); LTE 4G

Additional: Trackball, Volume Rocker (left top), capacitive buttons, camera button (right bottom), 3.5mm headphone jack (top right), side-loading expandable microSD slot (right top), 1080p mini-HDMI output (left bottom)

Design

-Aluminum alloy unibody-esque reminiscent of Nexus One (i.e. rounded edges)

-Black matte finish with rubberized texture (also in silver finish)

OS/Software

-Android 3.0 Honeycomb

-Video editing software

-Facial recognition software

-Google Market

Manufactured by HTC

Hardware keyboard, Latest android OS, 4.3" FAMOLED screen, gorilla glass, 1.2GHz processor, best GPU to date (don't know what that is), 3200mAH battery (LiPoly), HDMI out of course, agree on the 12MP camera, 8MP multi-focus front-facing camera, LED Notifications (pretty common but still saying it so y'know), HTC form-factor and button layout (volume top-left, camera bottom right, etc), ditto on the aluminum casing (matte black finish), rubberized edges (fall guards, not sure what they're really called), totally pre-rooted (no NAND lock or rootkits yay!), 4G capable, wifi 802.11a/b/g/n, up to 12dB speaker output, 3.5mm headphone jack, full bluetooth (headset, wiimote, game controller/keyboard support), no simlock, non-integrated SIM, magnetic docking detection (those of you who know how some phones detect docking will know what I mean), microUSB connector, full gapps pre-installed (since no nandlock you can remove the system apps you don't want ^_^), some sort of lost/stolen phone software like lookout mobile (or custom one ;) ), XDA app pre-installed naturally, swype (some people like it,not me but it's popular), ease of theming like in CM6, live wallpapers, (if possible) 1024x768 772ppi res (sweet), full flash support, OC kernel and something like set-cpu pre-installed, of course terminal emulator or android terminal (same thing really), 256MB RAM for OS and 1024 storage, microSD expansion slot not under the battery cover (gets annoying to pop it off to play with the card) and I think that's it for now ^_^

Edit: wow looks like a lot of us have the same ideas, that must mean those ideas are awesome :P. HTC should definitely start a research panel on XDA.
[General Questions and Answers] chaosjh:
the perfect phone to me needs to surpass all that is current and then hold it's position on top for several years so software can catchup.

imagine a phone without the front buttons at all, instead, slap them on the right side along with the volume rocker for a piano like feel. top to bottom something like this:

vol+

vol-

menu-indented

home

back

search/camera click

now you can reduce the bezels on the width to nothing and the height to just allow the front cam, ear speaker, mic, misc sensors.

then put hdmi and usb on the left for docking (more l8r)

now pack the features in...

since were talking about a phone that needs to reign king for awhile, let's go with the tegra 5 (logan) and support it with about 2GB of ram, 32 and 64GB internal memory, 32GB expansion, an 11+ MP camera (more on camera later), 720p 4.3" display (1280x720) with an 16:9 aspect all on samoled plus (approx. 341PPI)(read the LITI technology part), and slap stock 4.0 android in it.

i'm envisioning a near borderless, stylish, phone...maybe blue on the backing?

now the fun part...add-ons:

a 3 prone clip-on optical lens for camera (just press n turn fashion)

a slim, foldable, keyboard that plugs into the usb (removable)

a "controller" dock the the phone sets into and gives a playstaion controller like feel with the phone in the middle

lapdock? (thanks moto...)

more to come, but that's my idea of things...

[Desire HD General] Veitchc:
First off, Hi! Decided to remove myself from Apple's clutches and become a Droid user and the device that swayed me, the Desire HD (just waiting for the stock now from Orange!). Admittedly, Apple have relaxed App approval but I would not use the iPhone without the Jailbreak community and Developers, opens up the device a little for tinkering but the whole Unlock, preserve baseband, Apple update, Jailbreak tools release game has taken it's toll but if honest, it's the personalization for MY DEVICE which is moving me to Android as well as the fiddle ability. Not a fault of the DEV's who work tirelessly and need much applause, time to change and can always return!

So onto some questions, I'm coming on late so please forgive these queries, I've read what I can over the last couple of months!

No doubt I'll be playing with the phone in it's standard guise for a while BUT the time will come when I want to progress further and start ROMing. I'm aware of Visionary by the way, what it can do but the actual facts and what I'll see once complete is where I get lost :confused:

Can I restore the phone to factory if temp or perm rooted?

After a month of stock usage (photo's SMS email contacts, usual stuff), how would I get this stuff back if, after rooting (temp or perm) I want to go back to factory or remain rooted i.e different custom ROM?

If I root, do I have to setup everything again? Hard resetting the DHD if using temp root returns the factory ROM? If prem root is applied, how do you return to factory? Where is the factory ROM stored?

I'm not having a go but most of the guides explain the process, think I'm just missing the 'what it actually does?' in Android for Dummies speak. Long as I can backup, restore (yes, I'm used to iTunes taking care of this), apply custom ROM with Sense (requires perm root?), go back if needs be, I'll be a little happier.

No abuse please, I've been Jailbreaking iPhones since their inception so totally up to speed...this is all new and it's the same olde, once fiddled I'll probably laugh at asking! I have bookmarks spread across multiple sites for the DHD, great community and can't wait to get started!!

Cheers

-Chris
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
There is an option to unroot in visionary so you dont lose anything..

Rooting alone will not let you flash custom roms or kernels..

You will need

Perm Root

S 0ff

Android sdk - adb/ fastboot

Clockwork Recovery

Now you can easily flash roms and kernels..

The difference from stock is laughable...really...Im using leedroids mod and an overclocked kernel of 1.5ghz..

Quadrant scores of 3000

Linpack 52.149

Neocore 58.7

Crazy scores...my DHD is flying !
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Surely these figures mean nothing without stock to compare with?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
I didnt put stock because all you need to do is look at the quadrant thread...and I cant remember my stock ones ...i think 2300 give or take.

If you install a custom rom you wont be able to install OTA updates anyway..

The Devs always puts updates in their custom roms so its not a problem.

Titanium is good for backups if you do a format using recovery unless you flash over the stock rom then you will keep them.

Flashing a rom is a piece of cake...its what you need to do to be able to flash a rom thats the hard part unless you know what your doing.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Not a huge change is what you'll see, Visionary will tell you root is achieved but thats about it, but it's what you can do that matters

Yes, Visionary has an unroot option, which should put you back to square one, and provided you first produce a nandroid backup, essentially a snapshot of the system as is, when recovery is installed you can always put your ROM back to standard as well

again Nandroid is your friend

More than likely, although titanium backup maybe be able to restore your settings and google can also back up stuff for you

if Visionary is not set to attain root on boot yes

Unboot with Visionary as long as hBoot has not been flashed

if you do a NANDROID backup its on your SDcard, if not its been wiped by your custom ROM

Nandroid again

As long as youve read up, no sensible question will be scorned, well not by most of us anyway, we (with notable exceptions who where born to greatness) where all noobs once, so get on an enjoy the freedom that android brings should be a breathe of fresh air after apple
