    iPhone 4s (ios 5.1.1) How do I recover a contact photo including EXIF data?

    Basically I added a contact, and took a photo of the contact there and then. The photo is not in my camera roll and seems stored only in the contacts data.

    How can I get the original file out of my phone, and onto my PC so I can find the EXIF data (specifically the geo location).

    Oh and I'm using PC to make it that little bit more difficult! - seriously getting annoyed with these "quirks" of iPhone... anyone wanna buy a white iPhone 4s? 7 months old, always been cased.... will swap for a Galaxy S3

    Send the contact to an email address? Not sure if that includes the image though.

    Oh and sure I'll buy it, £50?

    Finally figured out how to do it... and unfortunately the phtoo does not have location tagging within the exif! Doh!

    Started by backing up iphone

    then used iPhone Backup Extractor to extract the Library\AddressBook\AddressBookImages.sqlitedb file

    Then grabbed firefox sqlite manager extension

    saved the blob as .jpg and voila... I have the file... but as I say, no location/geotracking exif data... ah well, it wasn't important anyways!

    and £50... no thanks

    Mate I'm doing you a favor by not selling to you, you'd just be wasting £60... iPhones are rubbish... I've had one for 4 years? nearly? and after seeing android work just recently, I can honestly say android looks 100 times better! and If you don't like something on android... you can change it!

    I've got a 4 just need an upgrade to my wife's 3G so if I get a 4s/5 she can have this one

    Tried android, didn't get on with it. I think there is maybe me, you and 1 other person on hexus who admit to using one

    I took a HTC Wildfire, and now I regret it. It was a false economy. I'm looking at iOS now.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.
