What in the heck!? I just recorded two concerts tonight and both of them turned out to be sideways. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I have to spend the time in video editor now fixing the files... Ugh. This is the third time it has happened. Is it based on how I am holding my phone as the recording is starting? maybe since I had my phone at my side when I started it the thing thought it was supposed to be portrait. Sigh...
I think I answered my own question... I'm holding my phone wrong somehow when I start the video and it thinks its in portrait mode when its in landscape.

I can't seem to get a handle on when or why WP7 err my Samsung Focus will take a picture and then choose to auto rotate it. Can anyone explain to me how to avoid it from doing that (not holding camera a certain way, software, etc)?
I am holding the camera in Landscape mode with the Shutter button on the top but it still decides to auo rotate some of my pics.
Thanks to anyone who can help me understand this feature.
This scenario is pretty funny to me as Windows Live Photo Gallery also tries to rotate the pictures, lol.
Anyone who can explain to me how or why, even if I am missing something basic like Settings, let me know.
As of right now, there is no option to turn off auto-rotation.
My understanding is that the phone will rotate the photo accordingly based on how you hold it the phone (as it should). I've had my photo rotated the wrong way a couple times, and I realized that it was because I was holding the phone a bit diagonally and not really either horizontally or vertically. I now try to make sure that I hold it definitively either horizontally or vertically, that's really the only way to do it until an option becomes available.

Bingo. I haven't had any issues with this, but I imagine if I were trying to get creative in how I held the camera, it would then become an issue. Either way, the photos I take either go to my computer or facebook, both of which it only requires a single button click to fix the rotation, if it were to ever be a problem.

I understand what you're going through because the same thing happened to me when I tried to take pictures to study for my exam. I also have a focus and was holding it the same way as you with the shutter buton on top. I finally realized that if you had anti-shake turned on for some reason, it will change the orientation of the picture by itself. If you turn on anti-shake turned on, try turning it off. It worked for me.
Anyone having any rotation issues with their camera?
I went to the see the Twin Atlantics last night and took numerous videos, all of which were taken holding the phone horizontally.
Four of the seven videos play vertically even though I hold the phone horizontally, resulting in the picture playing 90 degrees the wrong way. If I hold the phone vertically, the picture rotates 90 degrees the wrong way again. Very strange, I can't think why this happens when the other three videos play at the correct angle.
Any ideas?
No, but have had same...

Have you found a solution to this issue? I am having exactly the same problem..
Is your accelerometer off? I noticed when I turned off auto-rotate I started having problems with the camera. I enabled and disabled again and it fixed it for the time being. Make sure that when you are taking a picture, the video recording button and the shutter button are oriented the correct way.
same problem on just one video,started recording vertical and then quick rotate to horizontal, screen rotated but when playing its show small video box. Others started in right way got no playing problem.
Guys
Just notiiced on my stock HOX, that when I record a video in Full HD, it is fine in portrait position (held upright), but if turn the phone to landscape it still shows the playback in portrait mode.

Sometimes I have the opposite XD
I've noticed that the accelerometer won't always trip so I think I'm holding the phone landscape and recording thus, but it's actually in portrait XD
Make sure that the gallery icon always matches the screen orientation, if the problem persists try to recalibrate the G-sensor I think...
Settings > Display & gestures > G-Sensor calibration
Then follow the onscreen info.
Yeah tried that the same, seems strange, will check my other HOX, odd as the Sensor works fine for everything else.
I noticed that a Hard Reset fixed mine too when you hold down power for 10 seconds.
Got nowhere so contacted HTC and got the response below saying its normal ???

Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One X.
My name is Carola and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I understand when you record a video clip in portrait position then you turn the phone to landscape it still shows the playback in portrait mode.
This is a normal function in the phone, due to the original screen format in which was recorded, it reduces it's size to have the complete view in the other view mode you choose.
For additional information regarding the camera in your phone you can have at this link

i've just noticed that you need it to change orientation BEFORE starting the recording, once its recording it doesn't change it.
it just depends what orientation you have it first, as to which way the video will appear when playing back.

See my post?
yeah, just your post doesn't mention that it doesn't change it whilst recording, even if the g sensor is calibrated properly. (which i could swear they used too, maybe not though)
Think this issue is that I was rotating the device after during recording.
That explains why on some clips there is no issue (where i did not rotate).
Guess I just assumed the device accelerometer was clever enough to rotate.
Thanks guys.
i reckon the reason they don;t have it rotating whilst recording, is that if for instance you played it back on a tv, i would find it really annoying if i the whole video frame kept swapping orientations through a video.
Does anyone else notice that when you press the shutter on the camera, for about a half a second the live image stutters afterwards? If you move the phone slowly and snap a pic while moving, you can see it. It stutters half a second after the shutter is pressed. Unless my phone is the only one. This is a replacement so I have no qualms returning it.
Thanks!
I had the same issue but mine did it for like 10 seconds or more. Ill try to post a video of it

So I have this weird issue with my OP5T, whenever I play a video in full screen (landscape orientation), using YouTube Vanced, VLC, or any video video applications, after some time, I'd say around 2 to 5 min, my phone orientation automatically switches back to portrait without even touching or holding the phone in my hand.
I was wondering if anyone ever had this issue and eventually found a fix for this behavior ?
Yea i got the same thing ....but mine dose it in most apps....not just watching videos.... Gyro sensor is way off...just can't find how to fix .....
