Problem with camera/player - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi everyone.
As I wrote on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431386
I have problem with the camera and the player.
Camera works vertically and rotated to the left, if rotated to the right buttons appear like if it was rotated to te left.
Videocamera has the same problem mentioned above, but when I record vertically screen shows like it was rotated to the left (so it's recording orizontally even if I keep the phone vertically!) so when I try to watch it, player shows it orizontally.
I tried to move a video from pc to the phone, and same problem: it's like videocamera and player works only orizontally.
On that thread mentioned before they recommendend me to upgrade to JB, but it still persists.
Is it normal or not?
Thank you

[Q] Desire Z and google talk video call

Tryed to install the app from this thred http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793 .
The app seems working and alow me to do video call. The only problem is that from the phone I can see who is on the other side while not possible the other way round. Seems that the rear camera is disabled. Anyone else having this issue? olved Somehow?
PS. I know it's weird to use the rear camera, so please is useless to remember this.
Problem fixed. Needed to install googleservicesframwork.apk . Now everything is working better than expected.
Hey man, did you use the googleservicesframwork.apk from the very same thread?
I updated it using this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233682 and it sort of works fine, only thing is that my camera is still not transmitting to the other side, they see black screen. I see them fantastic, sound is great as well.
Can you point out what version of files you installed?
Thanks in advance
Update: It works when my girl video calls me from xperia mini, by "it works" I mean it works with known limitations, and that is 10s lag on my video, I see her real time. It didn't show video on pc, but it is not an issue for me, audio works great though, and that is what I need.
Desire Z video calls...SOLVED? (".)
I wonder is there any apps out there that are able to switch the hardware internally, and point it to external webcam.
What I'm trying to get at is using remote desktop on laptop at same time as phone being used as the webcam? Would this not solve the issue at hand.
So I would suggest the following steps...
Install remote web desktop app on dz > Launch browser on laptop/pc/Spare desire Z (hey they're discont'd after all!) > point phone and go !!
Let me know if this is solved for you (".) Smiley face (".)

[Q] Juggernaut v4.1 [Vultures Edition][Team Kang] - Camera Issues

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?

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.

[Help] upside down videos

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.

Any ideas?
Thaks!

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] camera and video lagging

Is anyone haveing the problem where you open the camera app and it lags big time? It lags in both camera and video. Then when i do take a video it's choppy and bad quality. Also, if you hit the video button is it stopped to start recording right away or should it flip over to video like other Samsung devices do? Mine starts recording right away.

I only notice the lag on the phone, but also sometime in Chrome when I'm on this site. Is your lag bad enough where you can't even take a good video?
yes, it lags to the point that I think my phone locks-up.
I read somewhere where someone said that if you disable your SD card, the issue goes away. Try it, unmount your SD card.

I don't know it just started working again. But if it happens again I'll try to unmount the SD card. Do you know how to get to the video settings? Does the video automatically record in 4K? That will take up a lot of space.
yes, i think by default it is at 4k video. 16 megs when you click on setting while under camera.

Yes, I've noticed that as well on mine. To a point, where the phone almost stop responding when camera is on. I don't think it's hardware related at all, I could be wrong, I'm thinking more like a bug in the software. One easy way to get out the lag for me is to press the power button to turn of screen then turn back on, while on lock screen, swipe up the camera widget. That got rid of the overall lag and lockup for me. I know it will come back soon or later, just don't know what trigger it.
Do you guys get lag from the front camera? When you move, it's not in perfect sync. It also seems to give you a Jay Leno chin.
