So when I take pictures with my phones camera upright, the gallery shows the picture correctly... but now when I send that same picture via MMS (from either build in messenger or Handcent) it rotates the photo 90 degrees.
Now if I send a photo taken by my DSLR, that was copied to the SD, or a screen shot by drocap2, this does not happen.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know how to fix this?
Does anyone else have this problem??
yes I've noticed this too. Don't know what the fix is except to take photos sideways (for texting)...anyone?
This annoys the crap outta me. I haven't figured out a way to fix this other than taking pictures in landscape.

This is caused by the camera app, and how it tags the orientation. You can install a different app such as Pro Zoom 5X or something, and that should fix it. It sucks I know, but installing a different camera app should fix it (just try a free one first).

I thought maybe it was something when it compressed the image, but guess not.
The odd thing is, that in the gallery it is fine, just MMS is effected.
Is this something that can be addressed by developers?

I'm sorry, I thought you meant the Rom/Kernel developers fixing the problem in the Rom/Kernel itself. Yeah, the actual camera app probably could be fixed, but the problem is getting someone to do it. Not sure if anyone here wants to take the time to look at it when there are other camera apps that do not have this issue.
You could also try this camera. Its the MIUI camera. Just place it in system/app, might have to reboot.

The workaround I use to fix this is to crop the picture. Even just slightly in any gallery program. Then it orients correctly when attached. ^_^
Problem is the froyo epic ota. A Ginger leak corrects this issue. No way around it as far as I know. Start taking pics in landscape :-\

This was addressed many months ago. The simple answer is, yes, it could be fixed. But the fix is more complicated than the matter is worth. Recent digital cameras employ an accelerometer to determine how the camera is being held and thus dictate how computers and devices should orient the resultant picture. It does this via some sort of digital tag in the pictures coding that an application then reads. For some reason, the tag the Epic camera creates is then not properly read by the same phones messaging app. Frustrating? Sure. But is an mms that will be looked at for a matter of seconds before being discarded worth hours of effort to correct? The majority of developers have apparently decided it's not worth the effort, and this would greatly exceed my own knowledge.
Simple fix? Another messaging or camera app as suggested.
I came upon this save issue, but I have the Epic Touch 4G.
I take the pic, and with Handcent, the image is rotated 90° counter clockwise.
But with the Native message app, the picture is fine, and not rotated.
Would appear to be an app issue, but with the EVO 4G, the pic was not rotated using Handcent.
I'm a little confused on this one.

Using CyanogenMod 7 on my Evo, when I take a picture in landscape mode, it doesn't automatically rotate. The picture is stored as if I took it in portrait mode. Therefore, if I send it to anybody, it is incorrectly rotated.
I have tried using the "Rotate Right" option when viewing the picture Gallery, and that fixes the display on the phone, but it doesn't seem to actually alter the picture. When I send it, it is still rotated 90 degrees too far to the left.
Is this just a bug in CM7? Anybody encounter this?

Agreed, on the '05 nightly I have not had the issue at all .. I am using the Savaged-Zen-Beta-CFS-HAVS-SBC-WiMAX Kernel though...

I love the SGS2 but it sucks extremely that you are pretty much forced to take pictures in landscape mode as any pictures taken in portrait mode are send upside down in landscape... This appears to be a Samsung issue with most devices.
Does this bug anyone else but me? Me having a major OCD for this.. makes me miss my old EVO 4G
Any fix to this other than having to try and edit the pictures or taking pictures in landscape.
Here is a link to further describe the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ure-always-returns-1-for-exifinterface-tag-or
EDIT: For anyone who wants to attempt and fix this.. Found this old thread form 2010. They used a custom patch/fix to save the correct orientation.

Yeah I noticed this on my samsung captivate and thought oh well It is maybe a software issue. I flashed CM7 and CM9 to my epic touch just now to test out if it was the way software is coded but no... Same results. Must be the way hardware is setup.
have the same issue. my girlfriend and i both have the epic touch, and the mms pics are never sent in a straight orientation. therefore, we just use dropbox.
Is this actually unique to our phone? I'd be surprised if so. See, most phones and cameras handle rotation not by actually taking the photo in portrait, but via EXIF metadata that notes the orientation in which the photo's supposed to be displayed. I'm guessing the MMS software is merely ignoring this EXIF data. The photos display fine in everything else that supports it, but the MMS app doesn't. If that's the case, I would assume this is more common than on merely our phone.
That said, I rarely if ever use MMS anyway. If I can email the photo at a much higher quality, I normally prefer to do so.
If anyone is a dev that happens to read this... In an older samsung model they fixed this annoying bug with a custom package. I'll attach them to the OP in case anyone wants to try and compared the fixes to try making us one.

Neither have I that I know of. I just tried it to make sure I was not just over looking the issue.
Either orientation saves the way I took the pic, and sends that way as well using GOSMS.

That's odd, trying emailing yourself the picture. I encounter this issue while using a skype sharing conference with ex co workers. I also have it when trying to send pictures via MMS. I even encounter it when sharing pictures on simple chatting applications. I'm convinced it's a samsung issue that they choose to over look lol =(
Using Vignette camera application... I'm able to successfully share pictures I take in portrait position with it! I thought I'd let others know. =)

Thats exactly what happens to me. It seems Samsung has a weird way of determining orientation and their messaging app is built to send them correctly. However sending thru third party apps, uploading to fb, or even xda app you get them sideways. This is very annoying and stupid and is a Samsung problem on all their phones.

Why wouldn't you take a pic in landscape? It has only been since the iPhone era that people have really started taking photos and videos vertically, and personally, I can't stand it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I usually always take pictures in landscape now just because I don't want my friends to have to keep turning their phone to view it. If I take a picture of someones face then I might take a portrait picture. I emailed Handcent about the issue a few times but they never replied back.

Rotate it once the wrong way, then rotate it back, and it will save as the correct orientation when you go to send the MMS.

I recently upgraded to 4.2.1(ParanoidAndroid 2.9.9) and the new camera(which I assume is the standard Google 4.2 camera) is very basic, and very weak compared to what I had. The old camera(which was also Google stock) had a lot of filters built in, and some hilarious distortions such as "Big Eyes" and "Big Head". My kids LOVE those. They are now gone, as is most of the awesome functionality I had. In it's place is Photo Spheres which I personally consider useless. Is there a way to get my old camera back? I don't want to be stuck on 4.1.1 forever but I hate this new camera!

You can install camera ICS from the market. The layout isn't exactly the same ( I assume it's mimicking the ICS camera layout) but it will give you back the filters, funny faces. And yes I wondered the same thing why did google remove them. Kids get tonnes of laughs out of those. I'd love to know how those decisions are made... 'Hey you know those features we've had in the wild for over a year? Yeah let's remove them'
my exact thoughts also, when i had the 16gb nexxy i updated and was VERY annoyed to find the effects deleted, so much it was one of the "cons" that pushed me into refunding for a non-updated 32gb version
im still 4.1 now lol i seriously dont understand why google would :
A: release nexus 7 without a camera app.....(yea i do know why but lame excuse)
B: when you update to 4.2 it deletes any camera app and replaces it with dah dah duh daaaaa a broken one with non-working photosphere.....wtf?

First of all, the app doesn't know which way your camera is facing, nor does it care. Second, I didn't even try it on my Nexus 7, I tried it multiple times on my Galaxy Nexus. Still broken. Never got a decent result. You may say it's operator error, but that's a ridiculous statement as well because it's pretty self explanatory.

Just saying, the app does know which way the camera faces... I assume something in the data for the camera tells the app its front facing. This is probably useful for apps such as Skype too.
When you try photo sphere, it says sorry not supported with front camera.

the strange thing is, you would think panoramic shot wouldnt work, yet in the cam effects pre-4.2 you can use panoramic efect albeit frontcam only, it did work thou.
i think photsphere from front cam, while your in the middle of the shot with the world spinning around you would be a great effect anyways.

Hi all,
I have a problem I hope the great minds here can help me with.
I'm using Slimbean 6.2. I have taken two pictures recently with ordinary camera.
Trouble is, the pics appear grey in the Gallery.
Interestingly, the thumbnails show the image clearly as expected.
I think it may be because the camera wasn't focused, the first pic was of my daughter on a fairground ride and the second was of a train (don't ask).
Is there anything I can do to make them appear correctly?
Examples attached.
You can see the thumbnails clearly, when I tap into the second photo down on the left, I get a grey pic.

I'll try that, but in Dropbox on my laptop they are appearing as grey as well..
I've just flashed build 6 and then 6.9 weekly and camera is working in both. I took a number of shots on both builds and purposefully made sure some were out of focus, no problems at all. Best option is probably just to flash the rom again, try the weekly it seems really stable and the camera is definitely working(as it appears to be in build 6).or You could try to push the camera apk first

It's odd, it's only happened on a couple of pics, others have come out fine.
Looking at the details, width height and orientation are the same as for other pics (which did work).
Exposure time is 1/2000 and ISO = 100
Size is 43.33kb vs others which are approx 1.5mb
I'll probably never know...
it happened to 2 or 3 month ago but I can't for the life of me remember which rom it was or how i resolved it, hopefully it will be ok now
No fixes available for that ATM!

Happened to me a while ago on viperx rom completely out of the blue. I thought it might be camera settings (even though I changed nothing at the time) but i reset them and it continued intermittently. Only for one evening, and it's never happened again. I hadn't changed anything else either, it just started with the grey pic rubbish, and then for no apparent reason it stopped! And never did it again.. I know what I've said doesn't exactly help a lot , just wanted to say that the 6mp fix might not be necessary.. Must be something else that caused it

Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
