Hello all,
So I've searched for this issue before, and while I've found others that have the same problem, nobody seems to have found a solution.
The issue is that when I take a picture in portrait mode, and then either try to MMS or send to my PC, the photos end up rotated on their side. I noticed that when I open my camera, it looks like my phone is rotating to landscape. I have tried resetting auto screen rotation, but no luck. Anyone have any idea about a solution to this? My wife's S3 does the same thing so others MUST have the same problem, I'd assume. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Just take photos in landscape. They come out looking normal. It's a known bug. I don't think there's a setting to change it.
Since i rooted and flashed new kernel and rom never happened again

this happens when i have Auto Rotate function turn off. I just turn it back on and everything is back to normal.
I didn't know that about auto rotate.
How many articles have been written about the pitfalls of taking pictures in portrait? Just don't do it

Did they fix the front facing camera's awkward orientation yet?
Not really sure what you are referring to, but my front facing camera seems to work as normal on EF02
Whenever I tried to use a video chat app it would rotate everything 90°

I've noticed that, while it may sometimes appear rotated to you, it's not always rotated to the receiver (or they may just rotate their device assuming it's supposed to be that way).
Hi all, my mom recently bought the captivate glide. (it is a rogers one, i927r is the model number... & the rogers boot animation is a giveaway lol)
Anyways, it's unlocked, stock, not rooted & she's using it on straight talk at&t.
Here's the issue: the auto-rotation is shoddy/a little over zealous.
Even if the phone is upright, if she/I goes in the messaging app, or any other app, or menu, the screen auto rotates into landscape mode. The only way to fix the issue is to take the auto-rotate option all the way off... which sucks because l obviously she needs it for other things.
I come from a gnex & don't really know much about this device. I thought it would be a good crossover phone for her as this is her first smart phone.
Please, any help/insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I too have noticed the rotate to be at times over zealous. The way that I worked around it is to disable the auto rotate and when I need it to rotate simply open the keyboard tray as that will still rotate the screen even if the auto rotate is disabled. I know it is not the solution you are looking for but just letting you know what worked for me. I see you did mention not wanting to turn off auto rotate but the way I do it you have a work around. Good luck

Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't mind a workaround, but I feel my mom will. Looks like this device may be going back.

I'm not sure if we are talking the same issue but 2 or 3 times the rotation seems to get 90 or 180 degrees off. Turning off auto rotate worked around it until I could reboot which made it go away. I've had the phone for 9 months and it hasn't happened in a long time.

I'm not positive it's the same issue or not. I helped my mom move from Verizon to prepaid at&t (straight talk). Purchased a brand new captivate glide. If the phone is upright (portrait) & I open the messaging app or settings/anything... the phone will go into landscape, no reason at all. Takes a lot to have it rotate back to portrait & when it finally does, it spazzes out & rotates back into landscape, again for no apparent reason. It's stock, not rooted, on 2.3.6.
I've had a lot of android phones & none have ever done this. Again, any help/insight is appreciated. Thanks.

I did a quick search and didn't find anything about this problem, but if this question has been asked before, I apologize.
Anyways, When I take pictures in portrait mode they show up fine on the device, but they are rotated sideways if they are viewed on the computer. I also experience this issue about every 4th time I share a portrait photo on Twitter. I know I can rotate each photo individually on the computer, but that is a pain.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Also, it isn't phone specific because I had the same problem on my Epic 4G Touch.
Having the same issue when trying to upload to Instagram. Could really use some help on this 1. Didn't have problem until I came to jellybean. I'm stock unrooted

Instagram has a rotate button once you crop the picture.
I've always had this problem with 2 Samsung Galaxy phones.
I went through and manually rotated each portrait photo on my computer today to upload to Snapfish.
I hope there is a solution to this.
Yea I know about the rotate button on Instagram. Even though I use that it still uoads sideways. I just decided to take all pictures in Landscape.

Seems like it would be a format/read issue that would need an extensive rewrite of the code to fix. The camera is probably taking the pics as you see them on the computer and the phone is reframing them as instucted from when the pic is taken. Have you tried placing pics from your computer onto your phone that are turned 90º clockwise?
I was having the same issue but it you take all the pics in "Landscape" mode where the camera button is to the right, they come out fine and upload fine as well. Portrait mode is set to landscape as well. Sucks but that is how it is.

That's what I've been doing for 2 months now. Haha.
Since I've upgraded my btu note 2 to 4.1.2 I've had really weird issues with my screen where it will go to landscape on some apps and it refuses to rotate to portrait
The play store sites it and xda sometimes . Plus in the gallery some pics refuse to rotate
Has anyone else had the issue ?
My screen rotate is switched to on
I've wiped the handset on update
Thanks

Wonder if the dbt new update of 4.1.2 will sort the issue ?

There was a thread about this with a solution. Just search rotation.

Since updating my samsung galaxy note 2 to 4.1.2(N7100XXDMC3) my screen rotation is acting crazy..when I switch on the auto rotation it doesn't rotate no matter how hard you try to do it(even with smart rotation on/off)..then suddenly after some time it rotates to clockwise side and it stays in that position forever on that side it won't rotate any other side even portrait mode until I turn the auto rotation off..I'm annoyed by this problem even rotation in youtube fails..I have heard from forums that muti window causes this problem.. but a restart fixes it but just temporarily..does anyone have this kind of issue?..please please fix this samsung even with a small update..we cant wait to long for 4.2.2(don't know even if they will fix this problem in 4.2.2)
Hi all,
I just actually ugpraded to the new Nexus 7 last night from the original, and it's fantastic except for one thing. When I set a wallpaper, it looks fine. Until I change screen orientation to landscape, and then back to portrait. It has then zoomed in and I have to reset the wallpaper again. This means that every time I turn it sideways, I have to reset the wallpaper. It upgraded to 4.4.2 as soon as I booted and connected to the wifi.
Is this a problem that anyone is familiar with fixing?
EDIT: well, I WAS going to post pictures except I'm apparently unable to do so until I've posted 10 times. That is slightly frustrating, hopefully people know what I'm talking about without seeing it.
The only "Fix" I've been able to figure out is to lock the orientation, but that doesn't help when I want to watch a video using plex or something. Hopefully someone might have some insight as to how to fix this.
Thanks in advance!
-Nick
I noticed the same issue on mine.

You need to disable wallpaper scrolling
