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.

Anyone notice that the screen doesn't rotate between portrait/lanscape correctly, sometimes it won't at all, if the phone is perpendicular to the ground?
If I tilt the phone closer to the ground, it picks up the orientation correctly (~2 second delay).
Anyone else know what i'm talking about?

If by the phone being perpendicular to the ground you mean parallel to the ground (e.g. screen facing directly up) this sort of behavior is what I'd expect. Because how is the phone supposed to know how you're holding it if it's oriented like it's sitting flat on a table (roughly speaking)?

Exactly. If you were holding it perpendicularly then it would rotate no problem, theoretically.

No no, the phone's screen is parallel to the wall, then if I rotate it 90 degrees, the phone won't rotate the screen, then if I tilt the screen towards the ceiling/floor, the phone picks up and rotates properly.
It seems the OS update I just installed has fixed this behavior.
just like in honeycomb Google added a second or so delay so the phone isn't rotating when you don't want it to.
Although this can be frustrating when you do want it to rotate.
There is and will be more custom roms that remove this delay

yeah i really like it this way i always used to accidently rotate the screen and it irritated me to no end i like that its now more 'deliberate' if you want it to rotate, but i guess its personal preference.
personally the video player should always default to landscape imo usually id keep rotate off but then video player is in landscape :\ least now i can leave rotate on and not be annoyed by it
Ok I turned off auto rotation. its VERY annoying when I am lying in bed browsing and the stinking think keeps rotating the screen.
problem is now "I CAN'T" rotate when I need to.
core problem is pictures. it keeps rotating my pictures.
so its displaying pictures 90' off axis. the only pictures it does not rotate are ones I shoot in portrait. those the picture axis remains inline with the screen axis.
but if I shoot a landscape picture (phone on its side) it DISPLAYS it rotated in PORTRAIT orientation (ie using 1/3 the screen) instead of LEAVING IT the same axis as the screen not the phone.
since I don't have auto rotation turned on .... I can't "rotate" the picture by tilting the phone again.
is there a way to STOP the camera auto rotating or adding rotation info to exif ie anyway to force ALL pics to rotate to the same axis as the screen (long side to long side)
OR is there a way for me to FINE TUNE auto rotation so its not so stinking sensitive? IE make it so I have to tilt A LOT FURTHER before it "rotates" and then I could turn auto rotation back on ???
Install smart rotator
Turn on rotation
Go into the app and turn everything to auto rotate
Than turn off everything you don't want to rotate
This order works best...if you did the opposite you will have some issues with the camera at least thats what I found.
NOTE: This will not fix the home screen issue.
Installed the app so far working very well. thank you for the suggestion. I wish I could justchange the angle that triggers the shift.
Guys
Just notiiced on my stock HOX, that when I record a video in Full HD, it is fine in portrait position (held upright), but if turn the phone to landscape it still shows the playback in portrait mode.

Sometimes I have the opposite XD
I've noticed that the accelerometer won't always trip so I think I'm holding the phone landscape and recording thus, but it's actually in portrait XD
Make sure that the gallery icon always matches the screen orientation, if the problem persists try to recalibrate the G-sensor I think...
Settings > Display & gestures > G-Sensor calibration
Then follow the onscreen info.
Yeah tried that the same, seems strange, will check my other HOX, odd as the Sensor works fine for everything else.
I noticed that a Hard Reset fixed mine too when you hold down power for 10 seconds.
Got nowhere so contacted HTC and got the response below saying its normal ???

Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One X.
My name is Carola and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I understand when you record a video clip in portrait position then you turn the phone to landscape it still shows the playback in portrait mode.
This is a normal function in the phone, due to the original screen format in which was recorded, it reduces it's size to have the complete view in the other view mode you choose.
For additional information regarding the camera in your phone you can have at this link

i've just noticed that you need it to change orientation BEFORE starting the recording, once its recording it doesn't change it.
it just depends what orientation you have it first, as to which way the video will appear when playing back.

See my post?
yeah, just your post doesn't mention that it doesn't change it whilst recording, even if the g sensor is calibrated properly. (which i could swear they used too, maybe not though)
Think this issue is that I was rotating the device after during recording.
That explains why on some clips there is no issue (where i did not rotate).
Guess I just assumed the device accelerometer was clever enough to rotate.
Thanks guys.
i reckon the reason they don;t have it rotating whilst recording, is that if for instance you played it back on a tv, i would find it really annoying if i the whole video frame kept swapping orientations through a video.
So I have this weird issue with my OP5T, whenever I play a video in full screen (landscape orientation), using YouTube Vanced, VLC, or any video video applications, after some time, I'd say around 2 to 5 min, my phone orientation automatically switches back to portrait without even touching or holding the phone in my hand.
I was wondering if anyone ever had this issue and eventually found a fix for this behavior ?
Yea i got the same thing ....but mine dose it in most apps....not just watching videos.... Gyro sensor is way off...just can't find how to fix .....
What in the heck!? I just recorded two concerts tonight and both of them turned out to be sideways. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I have to spend the time in video editor now fixing the files... Ugh. This is the third time it has happened. Is it based on how I am holding my phone as the recording is starting? maybe since I had my phone at my side when I started it the thing thought it was supposed to be portrait. Sigh...
I think I answered my own question... I'm holding my phone wrong somehow when I start the video and it thinks its in portrait mode when its in landscape.
