[Help] upside down videos - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
i need your help. I don't have any idea any more what could cause for this problem. Everytime that someone send from his iphone via whatsapp, a video or a photo that was taken from the iphone, the device turn upside down the picture or the video! I don't know why it keep happans! I have tried omega and ARHD - 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 and the both have the problem! but the problem happans only when i get a video or a picture from the iphone. If sgs3 or nexus send me a video or a picture, i get it correctly. If you have an iphone, try to take a video in a vertical position and send it to your phone via whats up. Take a look at the picture. This video used to be vertical on the iphone, but when i recieved that, the device turned it.

I can't tell whether the screen shot you have provided is the right way up or not.
But is it completely upside down as in 180degrees or just 90degrees rotated?
Maybe because video players treat the longest side as the top. And with portrait mode videos, the video would have its longest side on the vertical, so our phones think that's the up side up.

When it is taken in vertical mode i get it 90degrees rotated, but when the video is taken in horizontal mode, i get it correctly with no problem.
I have tried to take a video i vertical & horizontal in the HTC desire and send to me, and there was no problem.
I have tried to install stock 4.1.1 without root or something and there is still the problem.
It seems the problem is between iOS and Android...

Update:
It was fixed in the new whats app version of iphone(as usual iphone problems)

[Q] Video focusing issue

I have searched and cant find this previously mentioned.
When recording video every minute or so the camera is re-focusing which looks really crap when watching it back as its constantly going blurry then coming back into focus. (very visible on a large TV)- is there a way to stop it doing this? e.g. turn auto focus off? If not i will send it back and use my old N8 till something better comes along.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Video recording

Hello,
When I m redording some videos the result on my computer is not so good.Videos are being rotated when I m holding the phone in landscape position while recording.Any tips?
On the road using my HOX
I don't quiet understand this question and I think i have seen this problem else where. Do you mean when you record videos using your phone in landscape mode, It does not rotate? Please elaborate. Have you tried G-sensor calibration,restart phone and factory reset? Could be software issue.
EDIT: Interesting... This problem appeared in my phone too. Seems like in Jelly Bean update some bug bugging G-sensor. I took a photo and went to 'Gallery' to view it. So when my phone was not in landscape mode, the picture was in landscape, and when in that, it went portrait. I hope this is the same problem as yours. I will keep up to date when i find solution.

Gallery/Camera problem ..

I take a picture, and then select the photo at the bottom of the camera screen.. it opens the gallery, then is VERY slow.. often I can't pinch & zoom, or select a sharing icon.. then suddenly the multi screen sometimes turns on. I though maybe it's because the tv icon at the top of the photo is showing 9+ meaning that's it's found 9 devices to share my photo too.. I thought maybe that is slowing it down. I tried turning off allshare cast, but can't seem to keep it off. I don't even know if that is even what it is. Frustrating. Not sure if that even made sense?
Anyone else having a gallery bog down like this?
thanks.

What is the Android version that you're using? 4.1.1? I'm using 4.1.2 and I have the same issue, but it feels more like a bug than an actual issue. I hope Samsung fixes this in the next 4.1.2 release.
I noticed the gallery lags terribly if I have photos that sync to it (Dropbox or FB sync to gallery) so I turned those off and it was lagless.
Other than that, I have no idea what could be the issue.

I know this is an old thread, but I was suddenly having the same issue. Turning off Dropbox sync seems to have solved it. Thanks for the tip.

Camera issues: orientation detection problems in portrait video + glary night shots

Hello,
First of all let's get past the "no video should be taken in portrait mode."
Whenever I'm recording a video in portrait mode with mt HTC 10, I run into problems when I have to watch it.
I use Google Photos (I've been using it ever since I started using the Nexus 4 and I'm happy with it) and I have backup turned on for all my photos and videos.
The portrait mode recorded videos always show up with the wrong (landscape) orientation.
The same thing happens when I upload the video on YouTube. I've tested this with multiple camera apps and the result is the same.
I've notived the saved video files are .mkv (not .mp4 as they were with my Nexus 5); I don't think that should be an issue, but I just wanted to mention it, maybe it matters.
My second concern is the way pictures taken at night are coming out. I'm attaching one as example. There's so much glare from the light posts that the picture is unusable.
Are there fixes for these or should I contact HTC support and just wait and hope they'll issue a firmware update?
I have the same problem with glare. Take a microfiber cloth or whatever and clean the lens. It seems very sensitive.

Samsung Galaxy 2017 underwater filming issue

Hi All,
1st time on here. Puzzled to this problem, struggling for a solution.
When recording video under water (under 1m) and its great, however when the phone exits the water, the video automatically stops recording.
Is there a way round this? I'm stumped on this.
Any help would be great, thank you
The phone doesn't have this functionality built in, it shouldn't happen.
Have you tried rebooting it?

Hi. Its a common problem when your using a phone in water. The touchscreen goes crazy due to the water. There are a few solutions to this.
1. The method i use. I have turned on volume buttons for clicking pics or video recording in camera settings. after doing that i installed touch lock. it basically locks your touch screen so that the water does not make certain parts of your screen get pressed and stop the recording. so start recording using volume buttons and then lock the touchscreen. ur recording wont stop.
2. download a spycam software like scos that can record videos when screen is off or make it take pics in interval. turn it oon and turn of screen.
3. Thr are apps made for underwater recording. but the good ones have only picture taking ability. some of the others arent that great while taking pics.
i had this issue with my a7. it would be fine for first 10 mins. but after that when i start recording n go underwater it would stop. i tried all 3 and im most comfortable with 1st one as i prefer using the stock camera app.
