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
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 90ยบ 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.
Sprint Version, OTA update on launch day.
Bug 1: Continually goes into "Car Mode". I'm not sure if it is somehow related to the holster I'm using or what, but I pull my phone out at least 20-30 times a day and it's in car mode. It becomes super annoying when you answer a call and it immediately goes to speaker phone. I tried "force stopping" this app, but that didn't work. Next step is to freeze it, but come on...I shouldn't have to do that. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Anyone have insight about some auto-Car mode or pushing certain buttons turns it on automatically??? Weird.
Bug 2: When typing in the texting app (only place I've observed it). I'll get a few words in, then randomly, the cursor goes back to the beginning. It's been happening pretty consistently and I even noticed it on the demo model at the Sprint store (thought I had hit an arrow or something). This happens ~3-5 times per day and annoys the hell out of me.
Other than these, this phone is a BEAST. Super fast and beautiful screen. I'm missing CM10 and will definitely root/flash when the bootloader is cracked.
Anyone else notice bugs similar to these?

Those are ROM bugs. I think they will be fixed after JB 4.1.1 update in December

For the curser thing. Try Swiftkey. You'll absolutely love it, plus it fixes the keyboard curser issue
Thanks for the replies...
Bug 1: This is due to the magnet in the flap of my holster. I'm not a holster guy at all, but at work it's a must since I wear scrubs all day. I can reproduce the Car Mode by placing the phone close to the flap magnet. Makes me think they're going to have Car Mount accessories that will have a magnet and automatically turn Car Mode on when mounted. Also makes me think I need a different holster because my phone thinks it's in the care and I can't shut the damn Car Mode off (yet). Sigh.
Bug 2: It's not the keyboard. I know and like swiftkey, but like the stock android keyboard even more. I installed the AOSP 4.2 Keyboard 10 minutes after getting the phone. The bug lies in the Messaging app. I'm now running GO SMS without any issues....buuuuuttttt....I shouldn't need to do that to sidestep an annoyance in such a critical and basic app. Who the hell is testing these things and lets them out the door with even the slightest flaw in either the phone or SMS apps???
I'm missing my AOSP more and more. I love the phone and the hardware is quite impressive, but if this device doesn't get cracked and CM10 or 10.1 soon, I'll be swapping it out.
the only bug I've seen on this phone so far is that sometimes spell check does not work in the messaging app and then sometimes it does. (Spell check as in when it underlines an incorrectly spelled word in red)
I have noticed the bug #2 as well within the messaging app. Pretty annoying.

Ditto on the keyboard bug. Doesn't happen often enough to me to make me wanna change phones though...
I'm with you guys on the keyboard bug...as crazy as it sounds, I'm playing with the idea that this has to do with tilting gestures...I'm having a little success repeating the bug this way. I'll repost if I confirm this.

Dont have the keyboarding issue.
But i do occasionally have the Car Mode. bug I need this 4.1.1 update asap
Any fixes for Bug 2? My boyfriend & I got the same phone at the same time, and mine does this, his doesn't. I also think it has something to do with the tilt sensor. I'd appreciate any input if someone knows the cause. Thanks!
For 2, I use another messaging app and swift key flow and it doesn't do it anymore. Go SMS or the jelly bean app

I can confirm bug 2 when using SwiftKey 3 on the stock messaging app and especially when typing comments in websites.
the texting bugg has completely gotten annoying for me.. Cant type a full message without the arrow going back to the first word.

Use a different keyboard.
I use Swype but Swiftkey should work too. It is not the messaging app or the Rom.

The software definitely has bugs. But the only only one I can do without is this damn SMS bug.

I too believe it's the keyboard and the placement of it's keys. Using 4.2 keyboard and no problems. Just a taste of some AOSP to come. Hopefully (crossing fingers)
Has there been any official word when we are supposed to receive the update? I know it rolled out in Korea last month.

Anyone ever notice that the responsiveness of the touchscreen sometimes goes away? It will get sluggish and just plain unresponsive?
Happened to me this morning as I was scrolling through FB. Restarted the phone and it was fine.

Will try the Swiftkey because the swipe is not accurate in the stock ROM either, LG QC must be asleep because i noticed these the first day!!
Love the hardware too much but if the update does not come in 14 Days I will downgrade to the GIII.
Hey folks. I've searched in xda and other forums (including mighty google), but none of the answers resolved my problem.
I've had 4.2 camera and photosphere was working perfectly fine Time had passed and I decided to use it again.
Problem is that I cant align blue dot in Landscape mode as well as portrait. I have to chase the blue dot and when I finally get it, screen starts to flicker and nothing happens. I have tried on 2 different ROMs and yes I did factory reset.
I found some folks saying that If you put your phone on a flat surface for few seconds it will resolve the issue, but it didnt work for me.
I'm gonna be traveling overseas and would love to capture my trip experience with photosphere. Any ideas how to resolve this? I dont think its a gyroscope issue (hardware).
Thanks in advance.
Bump!
Attached video. Can someone suggest of a possible fix? I've tried 2 TW ROMs +1 CM10.1 ROM, same issue.
Is anyone else experiencing issues with drama mode on the camera?
Every time I have tried to use this mode I've been unsuccessful. I'm able to shot pics in this mode but when the camera finishes processing the pictures it immediately returns to camera mode. I'm never able to select, merge, or even save pics.
I'm on stock rooted 4.4.2 T-Mobile TW.... Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
