Panorama Photo Modes - Note 7 Questions & Answers

I bought my Note 7 on August 19, the release day in the U.S. With that phone I was able to take panoramic photos and upload them to Facebook, where the viewer could pan through them from side to side using the mouse.
Since that phone was recalled, my new Note 7 unit works differently. My panoramic photos are still noted as panoramic on the phone, but when I upload one to FB, it displays all at once, thin top-to-bottom and the entire width showing. Viewers cannot pan through them using the mouse.
Viewing the pictures on the phone with the Gallery, the original panoramic photos display the globe icon on them, meaning that they are panoramas. But panoramas taken with my new phone don't display the globe symbol (in gallery mode), though they do display a panorama symbol when the photo is viewed in single-picture mode.
I seem to remember there being two panorama-type photo modes on my original phone: one that let me pan left to right (as I can now with the new unit), and one that let me pan left, right, up, and down. This new unit doesn't offer a mode that lets me pan in all four directions; that photo mode seems to be missing.
I don't recall if I used that missing mode to capture the original panoramas or not, however.
Can anyone confirm what I remember about the missing panorama mode? Does anyone with a new unit have both modes?

Could you have been using Surround Shot?

Surround Shot, that was it! Big thanks.

Pictures and Camera improvements.

Well i had a play with my uncle's iPhone along side my THD and the bigest issues was how unresponsive the THD was at the Picture scrolling and Camera response.
Has anyone tried/started to fix the camera Application and HTC Album?? there is a second wait between pictures on scrolling and about 5 seconds on taking a photo.
I'm almost afraid someone will have to do a total rewrite of the phone app to get it to a normal response time from pressing the button to taking a shot. It's rediculous as it is now; the cam is totally worthless for taking anything but still shots of non-moving things like buildings; taking shots of people right now is just ...worthless.
Which sucks
We did 2 shots and a slight movement blurs. the iPhone doesn't but you clearly can see the camera is better quality on the HD.... as to the picture viewer is there anything that can replace it???
picture viewer: well, there's xnview, but I have to say that Album works better, IMO...as long as you realise you zoom in by drawing different size clockwise circles on the pic, zoom out by drawing different sized counter-clockwise circles and pan by touch-and-holding the screen.

Screen auto-rotate problem with photo album?

i have a weird problem with gsensor and photo album. whenever i turn on screen auto-rotation, my photo album will always be in landscape orientation no matter how i orientate the screen. and when i exit, touchflo 3d is in landscape mode also for a split second before it changes back. This happens even though I removed photo album from the whitelist.
anyone encountered before?
I think album automatically does that to show pics in their best way (or somethng like that)
Is yours the same? I know that the rhodium photo album will not rotate the photo, but it is supposed to orientate the icon bar that appears when you tap the screen. On my album, that bar is always in the landscape orientation even if I hold the phone in portrait mode. Similarly I can only swipe the pictures bottom to up to scroll, instead of right to left. The album will orientate correct in portrait mode though if I turn off screen auto-rotate.
I had the rhodium port running on my TP before and this is not the same behaviour. Is yours also like that?
mine always stays in landscape but some photos display in portrait. it doesn't bother me though. & yes, the menu/icons are always in landscape
Mine is like what you described. But I am happy with the way it is. The photo always displays at the full screen without the black border.

how to display filmstrip mode in photo gallery

Hi all:
By fluke of chance, there was only once that managed to somehow get my photos in gallery to arrange itself in a horizontal straight line, like a filmstrip. (I enter the photo gallery by going into camera, and then tapping on the photos to view my past taken photos.)
Does anyone know what I am talking about, and what is the finger gesture or method to get the app to display my camera photos in a filmstrip mode? thanks!!
When you're in the gallery and have the picture in landscape, swipe left or right several times quickly to scroll the pictures along like a "film strip". The picture that it stops on will automatically fill the screen. Oh, and you do not need to access the gallery via the camera, this will also work by entering the gallery directly.
ah, it works! thanks so much! I found that quickly swiping about 3 times will do the trick. and it also works in portrait mode too!

Taking photo

I took the thru viewer on display and found a good photo. However when I view the photo taken, the photo is dim as compared with original view on the screen. Can I adjust both much closer to get a photo that is what I see on display.
In addition, the anti-shake option is only applied to the shooting mode of Single shot. The performance is affected in other shooting mode without anti-shake feature. Did I incorrectly use the camera?

[Q] Instagram camera and cropped photos

My wife has a Note 2 and she's addicted to Instagram
But she is having a problem like since forever.
She uses the Instagram built in camera (since it catches what she wants), but she points the camera to an object for example and when she takes the picture it comes out cropped below. In other words, what she previews in the camera doesn't get photographed. There is a side (smaller cut) and bottom (larger cut) offset from what she sees and what she gets in the final picture.
Any help?
Can someone test this? Thanks!
Anyone to test this, please?
Bump:crying:
AFAIK , Instagram camera works that way . There's nothing that can be done for the moment .
However , I often use this method
Capture an image
Use Photo Grid to resize it ( It will automatically resize the entire image so that it can fit into Instagram )
Hope it'll helps
It only does this in Note 2. I have LG G3 and image is not cropped. Neither my previous phones.
Thanks for you answer!
