Photos show rotated when taken as portrait

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

Camera not starting?

in the past two days my phone has failed to start my camera twice. I opened instagram first and when I tried to take a photo it said "unable to start camera" in tried it again and it said the same thing. So I opened the actual camera and it just opened a black screen with the camera controls (shutter buttons, settings, etc)
No matter how many times I opened the camera or cleared the tasks using the camera it still refused to start. only after restarting the phone did the camera start again.
has anyone else experienced this or know any possible reasons as to why this could be happening???

Try deleting the data of the camera app, if that doesn't work, try a different ROM, if it still happens, it's a hardware problem.

I actually had this happen a few times before I rooted or ROM'd. I have yet to have it happen on JellyBean and, if I did, I could just hot boot. The only thing that ever fixed the issue on stock was a restart.

Is it possible this is an issue similar to webcams and PC's where the permissions get messed up? Can you recreate it? Open app x then try to use the camera in app y and see if it's bonkers.

I have been trying everything in order to reproduce the problem, no luck as of yet unfortunately.

[Q] Sideways pictures?

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.

[Q] 4.2 Camera lock-ups

I am running CM10 stable with the KT747 kernel. I installed the 4.2 camera from a .zip in CWM and everything works fine except for taking a photo without doing touch-to-focus. If you take a photo without selecting a focal point or letting the focal point lock expire (it unfocuses from that point after a few seconds), the UI will lock up. After force-closing the app, it gives the "Can't connect to camera" error. I've heard that this is only happens on AOSP ROMs. Is this true or is there a fix? Thanks in advance!

Search. Answer is out there.

Call log in portrait mode

I am surprised I don't see any posts about this issue. Since I updated to the latest stock ROM, my call log does not show all my calls in portrait mode. I have to go to landscape to see the calls. Only some show in portrait mode. I notice that users of the Note 2 on AT&T have reported this problem on other forums, but I don't see anyone reporting it here. Has anyone heard of this? Is there a fix?

No one has seen this problem???

I just tried to see what you are saying is wrong but I have all my calls and contacts in both landscape and portrait! !!!!

When in Portrait not all calls show up in the call log. Flip to Landscape and their they are....its been driving me nut, especially since I just learned about the work around.
Need a fix....
