I am wondering is it possible to put the location of where the photo was taken on a Lumia 1020? I see in the settings there is some "use location" but I have no clue where it saves the information as I can't see it in the properties of the picture.
I am planning on taking my Lumia 1020 to use as a camera. I've since upgraded to the 1520, so it no longer has a SIM card installed in it. This may sound like a stupid question, but does the GPS and location tagging in photos work without an active service or Wi-Fi connected?
The screen on my 1020 recently broke, and I just got the phone replaced (because it was cheaper for me to replace through insurance than finding a place to repair the screen. I only found one place who would do it and they said $240. Um, no) and I am about to send back the broken one. I already backed up all of my photos onto my surface 2. But my question is, is there a way to transfer the hi res photos from my old 1020 to my new one? I should clarify, I can transfer the hi res file, but its not viewable on the phone?..
I recently bought a Nokia 1020 and i suspect that there are something wrong with the camera. The quality of the photos that i take are, in my opinion, nowhere near the ones you can se in reviews and those released by Nokia.
To me it looks like it's only the middle part of every photo that is correctly focused. The edges are very blurry. I have no case on the phone, no dirt on the lens and i have tried to reset the camera and reboot, no difference.
I will attach some photos on which I think you can see it clearly. The images are very sharp in the middle but when you move towards the edges it quickly becomes blurry. Both pictures are taken in daylight with Nokia Pro Cam, all settings on auto.
The pictures are the high resolution version: FileSnack | Easy file sharing FileSnack | Easy file sharing.
How can you add the 34 or 38 megapixel photos back to the phone from PC and have the phone detect them? When I copied a few shots back to camera roll it did not show up on the phone.
I tried using the detect photos option in Nokia Camera setting but still nothing. The photo is copied correctly when in file explorer on PC but does not show up on the phone.
I wanted to copy it back to use it in a photo app on the phone. How to do this?
I am going to be traveling and will be without data / internet access or wifi for extended periods. I want to take my 1020 with me to take tons of pics but it is certain that I will run out of space on it eventually. I want to be able to move photos off of the phone quickly and easily without Data / Internet or a PC.
When i put my mobile for charging, it automatically starts taking pictures and continues taking them. It takes about 800 pictures within an hour. What I can do. Iv tried soft resetting many times but problem still remains. My phone becomes super heated after that. Its been 2 months since i bought my phone from an online store.

Is this really normal, i can't recall that I have had these issues on point-and-shoot cameras?
I also noticed that there are a rattling sound when i shake the phone or put it down on a table. I know that the lens is suspended in a "ball-bearing" so this is normal if the camera app are closed, however I get this sound even when the camera app is open and the camera has locked focus. I'm pretty sure the sound is coming from the camera optics. Is this normal?
I made a folder within the camera roll folder, dropped my pics in all together...dragged the folder on to my desktop and POOF - the folder and all the images (except ONE photo copies 17 times) are GONE!!? what do I do?
iv been accessing my facebook the my BB 8520 as i want to maximize all the functions it offers. just some things i want to make clear about... first, whenver i would use Facebook places, the location pin just would not point at the exact place where i am even if i have added it by myself.. theres no funcition on ho to edit the mp so that itll point exactly ro where it is supposed to be.. nother thng, whenver i would upload pics from BB to facebook.. theres just no feature wherre i can tag pics to my friends.
I use Lumia Camera or Proshot to capture most of my photos, while also using the native camera app when I want to take burst photos.
For the Lumia Camera, I usually go for JPEG (5 + 34/38 MP), changing aspect ratio now and then. Sometimes, 5 MP photos are fine, but the 34/38 MP ones will get corrupted, i.e. they will either be just green or grey backgrounds. Same thing also tends to happen with DNG files, that they cannot be opened by Photoshop or some other software.
This issue (corrupt high-res photos) also tend to happen with Proshot when shooting with high-res.
Performing a soft reset solved the problem, but I'm getting tired of soft resetting my phone every now and then.
I've attached 3 screenshots.
1: Basic viewing of the 5 MP photo. No issue here.
2: When I pressed "Open with Lumia Camera", this green photo happens. Instead of a high-res photo, I get a high-res green background.
3: Using a File Explorer, you can see that the photos affected are the high res ones from Lumia Camera. Also happens with ProShot's high-res photos.
When I try and take my photos off the 1020 with my PC it only shows one of each photo I took I think its the 34mp photos but not sure I thought it would have doubles of each photo a 5mp and a 34mp since I got it set to save both in the pro camera settings ...
Does it saves both to camera roll or does it save the 5mp somewhere else for sharing from the phone cause only one copy of each photo is on the phone camera roll ...
I've only had my Lumia 1020 for a few weeks after deciding that I was bored with Android. In fact, just returned from Paris where I spent Christmas with the family. Sadly, over the period of my stay there WiFi was scarce so when I checked if my snaps had synched or not I saw that it was waiting for WiFi. Now I've been home a few days with a good WiFi connection in surprised too see that very few pictures have uploaded and that there's no uploads pending. I've checked the backup setting screen and all is as it should be, but there's no option to stay or force the upload. One thing I lived with Android was the Google+ photo section that synched instantly and was ready sand waiting straight away.... Looks like Windows 8.1 isn't as automatic,
If I click share to Onedrive from the photos hub, does it send the full 34mp photo or the smaller 5mp? Just trying to prepare my phone for a hard reset as it's become so unreliable after installing 8.1.
Notice that the 1020 seem to have excessive distortion starting about 2/3 from the center? I am using my 1020 as a point and shoot replacement and it is great for anything but people. I think the live view we see on the screen when camera is on (regardless what app Pro Cam/ProShot/WP default) already has some extreme barrel correction applied to it. If my subject is about 2/3 from the center their faces start to stretch and distort like they have been pulled towards the edge of the view finder. Single person is fine but when you get 3 people in a shot, the center person would be fine but the left and right will have stretched faces. Coming from a 920, I find the distortion to be worse than the 920.
In some extreme cases of building shots, instead of having straight lines or slight rounding lines, the lines actually cave in. The only thing I can think of is to "undo" the correction in lightroom, but I don't see a lens profile for the 1020 yet.
I'm having quite a strange problem with my Nokia Lumia 1020. It all began with the gmail app that stopped syncronizing with the server. After an ordinary reboot I got a message that the device was restored after an error and then it started loading all the old mails back by dozens, as if they were all unread (which was not the case). Ok, after all the mailing app was in order again.
But soon after that I received an sms and realized that all the other messages were completely gone. Including the whole previous chat with the person who texted me.
Same thing for Whatsapp - no messages visible, no saved pictures. Just the call history.
After all I went on to check the Camera Roll - nothing left there either. But all the pictures are still visible when I sync the phone with the computer via USB.
So, after many attempts at soft-resetting, checking for updates etc, here's where I am:
- No photos visible in the Camera roll or trough any app (Camera, Instagram, photoeditors)
- All SMS are gone
- All Whatsapp contents is gone, too
- Everything else is fine. Call history, contacts, Facebook, mail apps, Microsoft and Gmail accounts syncronization.
Curious if this is a Windows 8.1 issue or a 1020 issue. When I import photos some of the more recent ones don't get imported. For all I know some further back aren't making it in either. I also noted that the Camera Roll import using the Windows Phone app only seems to be importing the low-res images. Are there settings to cause this to import the high-res too?
I connected my Nokia 1020 to my desktop (windows 10) and I deleted the low resolution photos from my Camera Roll. Then...all the remaining high resolution photos disappeared. Is there any solution to get them back?
My wife has a Lumia 1020 and takes lots of photos with it. When we are traveling we can use our laptop to view the camera roll when the phone is connected to the USB port. However, when we are at home and she plugs it into her desktop with a USB cable, the photos do not display correctly
What happens when the camera roll is opened is that the photos start rendering fine and then at some point they stop. The progress bar across the top of Windows Explorer continues to move but nothing happens. I have tried it several times with different USB cables and ports and each time it does the same thing. It doesn't always stop at the same place either. Sometimes it will render 10 photos and a different time it will render 25. However, it never makes it through the entire contents.
I used SmartCam, selected the best picture and saved it to the phone. Then I connected the phone to my Windows 7 PC via USB and, using Windows Explorer, tried copying the saved result from the phone and pasting it into a folder on my PC's hard drive; but when I tried pasting it, I got an "Access denied" message.
I also noticed that when -- again via Windows Explorer -- I tried to open this saved photo from my phone's photo folder, by double-clicking it to launch Window's photo viewer, I got a message saying I could not as I "don't have the necessary permissions to access the file location." Excuse me, it's my phone and my photo, whose permission do I need?
I can email myself the saved photo, but it is low resolution, with a file size of around 400kb, compared to original's apx. 5 mb. All the camera hardware and software wizardry in the world is useless if the photos are held captive on the phone!
Tried HD Photo Viewer 8.0 app last night, allows you to view high-res versions of photos on phone. Found little if any difference. App details unclear, seem to suggest that you can do it on a Windows phone, and that you can't on a Nokia.
Ever since using the 8.1 dev preview, I noticed something odd about the photo sizes up my camera roll folder on OneDrive. I currently have my backup settings for "best quality (wi-fi only)" for pictures (videos are not backed up). However, ALL photo sizes are around 10 MB, and the dimensions confirm that it is the hi-res 38 MP shots being backed up, not the 5 MP oversampled photos. This never happened prior to the 8.1 preview.
Phone memory is down to 300mb, so I thought I'd better do something about offloading some of the hi-res pics. I couldn't see thumbnails on the PC for the 34mp pics, so had to open every one before I could delete/ copy. Surely there's an easier way, I've got a 1000+ pics to do?!
I have been doing it by clicking on the WP icon in 'my computer' & then camera roll. I have the syncing app on my laptop, but that didn't seem useful.I miss the SD card on my N8, sometimes it feels as if I've gone backwards.
