  It's not a titanium framework limitation, it's just not implemented

  If you're familar with objective-C you can code your own titanium module as you can see here

• Ok, it has been 2 years huh, still I can't find any straight answers on image EXIF and coming up with proper orientation for pictures taken via camera. It would be a great help if you can share the solution that you have found.

• I hacked around with the Titanium.Media module to return location and EXIF data when a photo is selected in the photo gallery. I am planning on putting this on GitHub for all to enjoy. I'll update this thread when it is available.

• Here is the link to the myMedia module on GitHub. It provides location and EXIF data on photos returned from openPhotoGallery(). Let me know how it works out for you!

• I've created a version of Jacon Seidelin's Exif.js to work with Titanium. It's pure Javascript. You can grab a copy over @

• As far as I know, you can't get this within an app (unless you capture location when/if your app takes the photo).

  But you can get EXIF data from various server based libraries (using php for example) once a photo has been uploaded to a server.

  EXIF data can give you GPS data, Camera make and model, camera settings (f-stop/exposure etc.), orientation. It all depends on the camera which took the photo.

• Yeah, i'm aware of doing it over the backend which i'm trying to avoid the round trip.

  Any insight to whether is this Titanium or IPhone framework limitations?

  Thanks! :D

• Got it

• If you move the image from the HTC over to the S3 do you still get the same issue? That is to say, I'm wondering if this is a device issue or an image issue. Can you send me a sample image to test with?
