I've done a bit of digging. It appears that if you enable gps tagging once and then disable it, the data is still in the camera app and therefore displayed until one of the following occurs: 1. Camera app is put into the background 2. Camera app is closed 3. Power button tap putting the phone to sleep 4. Phone screen times out.
Once one of the above happens gps is disabled to save battery and the data is missing from the camera app again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to camera-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1488788 Title: The picture still contains location information even when the location tagging is off Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 109 device name: krillin channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en last update: 2015-08-30 02:57:15 version version: 109 version ubuntu: 20150825.1 version device: 20150821-736d127 version custom: 20150821-887-33-32-vivid Steps: 1.Disable geotagging 2.Take a picture 3.Transfer to desktop 4.(install exiftool) Run "exiftool -gpslatitude -gpslongitude <image_name>" Expectation: Verify that the picture doesn't contain location information Actual result: After step 4, there is still location information shows up in the terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/camera-app/+bug/1488788/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
