Auto-rotate Question

If I call up the browser and then turn the phone on its side, the screen rotates to landscape mode as it should. But after it rotates, it won't rotate back to portrait no matter how I orient the phone. Is this normal?

Nope, not normal, don't have a solution for u tho, sorry

Can you explain why or how to avoid WP7 from auto rotating my pictures?

I can't seem to get a handle on when or why WP7 err my Samsung Focus will take a picture and then choose to auto rotate it. Can anyone explain to me how to avoid it from doing that (not holding camera a certain way, software, etc)?
I am holding the camera in Landscape mode with the Shutter button on the top but it still decides to auo rotate some of my pics.
Thanks to anyone who can help me understand this feature.

This scenario is pretty funny to me as Windows Live Photo Gallery also tries to rotate the pictures, lol.
Anyone who can explain to me how or why, even if I am missing something basic like Settings, let me know.

As of right now, there is no option to turn off auto-rotation.
My understanding is that the phone will rotate the photo accordingly based on how you hold it the phone (as it should). I've had my photo rotated the wrong way a couple times, and I realized that it was because I was holding the phone a bit diagonally and not really either horizontally or vertically. I now try to make sure that I hold it definitively either horizontally or vertically, that's really the only way to do it until an option becomes available.

Bingo. I haven't had any issues with this, but I imagine if I were trying to get creative in how I held the camera, it would then become an issue. Either way, the photos I take either go to my computer or facebook, both of which it only requires a single button click to fix the rotation, if it were to ever be a problem.

I understand what you're going through because the same thing happened to me when I tried to take pictures to study for my exam. I also have a focus and was holding it the same way as you with the shutter buton on top. I finally realized that if you had anti-shake turned on for some reason, it will change the orientation of the picture by itself. If you turn on anti-shake turned on, try turning it off. It worked for me.

How can I get the video recorder to auto-rotate?

When I take a video, no matter which orientation I start it in, the phone ALWAYS assumes I am holding it with the bottom of the phone in my right hand, like this: http://i.imgur.com/gblmE.png
The trouble comes from when I have the phone rotated any other way, my videos come out upside down or on their side, whereas up should be "up" no matter how I am rotated.
Basically, if I start a recording in portrait mode, I want it to look like this when I put it on my computer and watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSaywLJdtVQ

Why would you want to shoot a video in portrait mode?

It's not about wanting to, it's about it being the only way I can shoot sometimes (be it a weird angle or a less than solid grip on the phone). Also, it's more about being able to shoot in landscape regardless of how I am holding the phone (bottom on the left or right)

[Q] Camera Shots/Videos Rotation issue?

Anyone having any rotation issues with their camera?
I went to the see the Twin Atlantics last night and took numerous videos, all of which were taken holding the phone horizontally.
Four of the seven videos play vertically even though I hold the phone horizontally, resulting in the picture playing 90 degrees the wrong way. If I hold the phone vertically, the picture rotates 90 degrees the wrong way again. Very strange, I can't think why this happens when the other three videos play at the correct angle.
Any ideas?

No, but have had same...

Have you found a solution to this issue? I am having exactly the same problem..

Is your accelerometer off? I noticed when I turned off auto-rotate I started having problems with the camera. I enabled and disabled again and it fixed it for the time being. Make sure that when you are taking a picture, the video recording button and the shutter button are oriented the correct way.

same problem on just one video,started recording vertical and then quick rotate to horizontal, screen rotated but when playing its show small video box. Others started in right way got no playing problem.

All photos turn sideways???

Any idea why this happens? Every pic I take turns left. When I text them or open on pc, I always have to rotate them. It's annoying.
Anyone??

I had the same issue since camera did not rotate to the proper orientation. I calibrated it and now it's working fine. You might want to give it a try

How exactly do you do that?
