Geotagging doesn't appear to work
Hi,
I'm trying to use this feature, and I find that, even outdoors, the little satellite symbol in the bottom of the camera view is red with a little 'x' to the right of it. I cannot seem to get geotag data in the pictures, and I assume this is why. I am guessing it should be a white icon with no 'x' from what I can tell from searching the forum. Geotagging is switched on in Camera options. Settings/Advanced/Location Settings gives everything Enabled/On, and refreshing the data provides a fix (although it does not do this dynamically - I have to actually press refresh. Nevertheless, it gives a very accurate fix pretty quickly). Can someone advise please? Thanks, Paul. |

Have you tried a hard reset?

Re: Geotagging doesn't appear to work
I usually have to refresh my location/fix then open up my camera. Not too sure why. A hard reset will fix for awhile, but I always have to manually refresh before I use maps or geotagging. Other apps like Foursquare and SS I don't have (but takes up to 45 seconds to get a fix)

Re: Geotagging doesn't appear to work
For what it's worth, I'm not seeing that (a need to manually refresh location). Also, sounds like this may have been tried, in effect, when making sure the device was getting a position fix via location settings.
I'm wondering about apps installed that use the camera or interact with the camera app. I think I would try a security wipe and select to delete user installed apps. Then test. |

BlackBerry devices honestly have the slowest GPS and A-GPS when it comes to signal acquisition that I've ever seen, which has always annoyed the crap out of me with respect to geo-tagging and mapping.

Re: Geotagging doesn't appear to work
Thanks for the replies. I still can't see the problem, but, to be honest, if it's that slow getting a fix anyway, I don't think I can be bothered to stand there waiting.
So I think I will forget it. Thanks again. |
