[Q] Facebook App with SAVE PHOTO function - Is there any app? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Is there any application with the Save Photo function? Or only iPhoneFanBoys will ever do that?
I already tried about 20, and none let me save the photos i'm viewing.
Anyone know an FB alternative with "Save Pics" function?
Thanks in advance

Use the PeopleHub. U go to the pic u want, tap the ... and then u have save the Picture to phone.
I simply don't understand the need to use any social network app when u have everything in the OS.
Well, at least that is my point of view.

You are right.
Newbie mode: on
Didnt though about that. Thanks. WP8 is so amazing that I still can't believe it can do so much. LOL.
Thanks again,
Living and learning.

Contact Photos - Am I missing something ??

Hi All
A quick question regarding the contact photos in the People tab in TouchFlo.
I click add favourite, and asks me to pick a contact... so I do.
Then it asks me to pick a photo or use the camera, at this point I WANT to use the camera.
The camera starts but is locked to full photo mode, not contact photo mode.
All the buttons that are normally there are gone leaving just the menu button, which is no use whatsoever. SURELY this is some sort of bug.
Even if I go back to full camera mode and set it to contacts mode (hoping it would use the last mode selected) it still uses full photo mode.
Am I doing something stupid or overlooking something really obvious ??
And before anyone says.... Yes I know I can take the photo first then add it later, it's not the point
BUMP
Could some one at least confirm that this happens on their Diamond as well, so I can at least know whether this is normal behavior or just my device.
It will take you around 1 minute to confirm.
... please
Confirmed from me ... Can't change photo mode... can't change where to save the picture, have to save it in 'device memory'.. bummer ...but I never noticed because I never used it that way...
Thanks mate for confirming that.
Like to meet the programming genius behind that... and ***** slap em upside the head

Save some Christmas $$$ Barcode Scanning [App]

Initially accidently posted this in the Diamond forum...
Happy Holidays.
After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close

I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

What URL did you use to make it use Google Shopping search engine?

I'm not really sure what you mean by this. My search is
http://www.google.com/search?q=!###!
did you add the +100... in that string? Sorry for the silly question, and thanks for the help if you can answer.

open the app, go into settings and hit the right arrow until you see the google address. then replace the word "search" with "products"
EDIT: works well. i zapped every item on my desk at work and it found them all.

LOL...no, sorry for the misunder standing. I was trying to add credability to the other guys post of pointing it to google shop instead of just google. I wanted to just put +1 as in I am also wanting this, but you have to have 10 characters to make a post.
mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run
does anybody have an idea of why its not working
Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.
still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program
is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??
yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.
Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....
To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.

More things to scan
Hey noellenchris, don't forget all your cd's and coffee table books, or IT books....
I even scanned a can of Progresso soup and it found it. Crazy.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.
I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.

GeoTagging For HTC Touch Pro??

I'm looking for a software for my HTC Touch Pro which should track my movement and post the tracks to a website. Is there a software which will work on Win Mobile 6.1 ? I tried GPSEd but it didnt work! I hope there should be a software to track movements and post the tracks to a website to view using the data service..
Please suggest
Yeah something like this could be cool.
http://www.luisespinosa.com/trackme_eng.html is what I use. It's terrific.
Thanks mouth. Looks good but I dont want to use it on Google Earth. Can you suggest some other for me? I need something which can post to a website..

Take a closer look ... the app either publishes your location to the authors website/service, you can install the service on your own server (LAMP) and have the app upload your location to your own server, or it can store in an offlien file and you copy and import it into any system you like.

Looks like the Diamond was able to enable GPS in the camera using a registry setting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399890&page=2
Has anyone figured a similar setting for the Raphael?
Yes. Install Diamond Config > It's in there.

Do you mean DiamondTweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540&highlight=diamond+config)?
I tried that and DiamondTweak showed that GPS was enabled in the camera, but when I go to the camera app, I don't see any option to enable it.
So, what would you recommend for geotagging photos for HTC Touch Pro?
geo
yeah this would be great if anyone knows how let me know
http://www.shozu.com/
I see this is some kind of mega-upload app. I prefer some easy way to geotag photos, could someone give an alternative way to do that? What about Diamond Tweak, is it working on Touch Pro and geotags photos without problem?

Can we seriously still not rotate and crop?

The Kaiser was able to crop photos and rotate them around, and I cant for the life of me stand to believe that this phone isnt capable without spb mobile shell. It wouldnt be so bad if the camera didnt store the photos upside down and sideways , no matter which way you hold the phone.
I have G sensor disabled for camera in G-config and can hold camera straight up and down and the pic store upside down one shot, and right side up the next. same problem if held horizontally. and take a pic. its becoming quite aggrivating lol. If I have missed something somewhere please flame me in the right dir .Thanks
I was a bit disappointed I couldn't find a decent app for this. As far as I know, cropping is limited to looking at a picture in Album, zooming to whaty you want then hitting menu and save screen, which will save what you see on your screen. Haven't seen any rotation or anything of the like anywhere. Perhaps whatever app you used before could be found or packaged as a cab and someone could provide that?

you can rotate and crop with the regular pictures and videos app
The tool you want to use for editing your photos is \Windows\pimg.exe (even most "cooks" don't remove this...I think it's the system's image rendering tool).
if you're like me and you really hate the reduced functionality of the Album app, just edit the file associations with Schap's Advanced Config, so they all open pimg instead of album.
