why are all of my camera pictures come out rotated 90 degrees? - Galaxy Note II General

so here's an interesting thing that I noticed.. all of my pictures are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Everything shows up on the phone (in the gallery app) and in google+ correctly (which is why it took me a while to realize this issue), but when I look at the actual jpgs, they are all rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Have you guys seen this before? How do I fix it?

original camera app?
auto screen orientation turned on?

original camera app (one built in to the n7100), screen orientation turned off. I prefer to use portrait mode for pictures.. and the pictures are always 90 degrees to the "right". what's funny is that picasa shows the pictures correctly. but windows photo viewer isn't, and file preview in windows isn't. when i export them to a non google service (such as QQ, a popular chinese instant messaging app), it's also showing up as rotated.
any ideas?

if u turn off the auto screen orientation, how can the note2 knows you want portrait or landscape.......

it's strange but google+, picasa somehow figures it out correctly.. *shrug* i'll try w/ the auto screen orientation on and see if that does it.

I thought this was a bug in android I found most of my pictures come out the correct way round as in the way I took them but occasionally the odd one will be rotated 90 degrees. This also used to happen with my note 1.

if you go in to the original stock camera app, if you click the cog on the top left, scroll down, there's a setting which says 'save as flipped'
if you click it, it should stop that from happening.

I always thought that was for the front camera

This option is disabled for me on my camera when I have the phone in landscape... And my photos are still flipped.

HD2 Landscape Mode in Album?

Hi!
Just recieved my HD2 and being a noob to this device, I presumed that if you flipped the device into landscape, the Album would rotate into landscape mode. Do I have to set anything up on the device to enable this?
Regards,
Alan
Have a look at the wonderful BsB Tweaks app. That has a menu option in there to allow rotation for the app(s) of your choice.
A quick search of the themes and apps section should find it.
I thought the album was already landscape???
I've assumed that he means when you click the "Albums" softkey. I seem to remember having to set mine up to rotate that, but could be wrong.
Albums flops between landcape and portraid whenever I do. I thought it was the deafult action ion both the 1.43 and 1.48 ROM and I haven't fopen anything I can rememebr to change it. This is to do with the arrangement of thumbnails. If the question is really about flipping the pictures in the album to Landscape then that's totally different
What I meant is that in some of the videos I had seen on the HD2, when the guy rotated the device in the album, it went into landscape mode (riverflow or something like that). I think that the music tab did the same....
They don't need setting up - they just work. (They do for me anyway)
That's photos and videos, available from your Home Screen Tabs and not Albums.
Well, I have tried it from the Album tab and the Album application and it does not rotate.....

What do you mean by album tab? Do you mean Photos & Videos?
The tab on the bottom of the screen... with the photo icon.... next to the music tab....

Yeah - that's photos & videos, not albums. #9Just to clear that up )
I take it you're holding the phone upright when you do this?
Sorry to ask that, but it's the only thing I can think of!
When you get into Photos and videos you just twist the phone, don't click on Albums or slideshow. Just in case their was any more confusion.
Thanks guys... I have sorted it.... it works now!

how did you figure it out? what did you do?
How comes pics don't roatate in landscape if you take them in potrait and visa versa? a la the iPhone? I took a picture in potrait and rotated my phone in landscape and nothing happened.

Gallery photo auto orientation incorrect...

On the Nexus 7 the gallery auto rotation of photo's is incorrect
i.e. landscape goes portrait and vice versa
They display fine on my Samsung Galaxy SII (source) and in the Google+ Photos from either any PC or the Galaxy SII
Is this a calibration issue? Or is there some other setting?
Cheers
David

I am having this issue also. A portrait photo with the nexus held in portrait position auto rotates to fit across the screen in landscape view. This happens when auto rotate feature is both enabled and disabled. Any suggestions?
Exactly the same problem here. Photos taken on a Nexus S running Jelly Bean and uploaded via instant upload display in incorrect orientation (always over rotated by 90 degrees) in the Gallery on Nexus 7. They are in the correct orientation when viewed any other way including on the web via Picasa and on the Nexus 7 via 3rd party Picasa viewing apps. I really would prefer to use the stock Gallery app but this is so frustrating.....
Any solutions to this? Exact same issue and it is a real bother
very same problem here
If I take a landscape photo on my SGS II and have it "instant-uploaded", it will appear okay on my Nexus 7. If I take a portrait photo on the SGS2, the photo will appear in the right orientation for app. 0,1 sec, then gets rotated (falsely.) Then, if I email that falsely rotated photo to myself, the photo will appear in the email with correct orientation.
Btw in the Google Plus app both photos have the correct orientation, so it seems to be a Jelly Bean bug, not a Samsung bug.
Solution, anyone?
Same, but different....
I've got pretty much the same problem, but rather than actually rotating the picture so that it is in the wrong orientation, it keeps the correct orientation for portrait photos, but compresses them vertically into the same space that would be used for a landscape photo, thereby distorting the aspect ratio (hope that makes sense!). Same occurrences though, only in gallery, not G+, and only on this device and for portrait oriented photos uploaded via G+ instant upload.
It is driving me insane!
Same thing here except it doesn't do it to all the pics in my instant upload. Only some of them.
It's probably some Android bug as I have the same problem on my SGS2 with CM10 (JB). All photos look ok in the Gallery (although when I exit an opened portrait photo it turns 90 degree to the right in the animation. Very annoying as all portrait photos I post on G+ are wrongly oriented.
Galaxy S3 Same problem
Same problem with my Galaxy S3, i thought i was the only one with this problem, so its a relief to know I'm not the only one, its been months since this thread was created, and its still an ongoing problem, it would be nice to know if a fix is on the works, by the looks of it, it might be a bug with android not samsung, either way has anyone found a work around this?? or heard anything new on the issue

[Q] Picture Orientation

It seem that the G2 takes all pictures in landscape mode and uses exif data to tell the viewer to rotate the image if it was taken in portrait orientation. This is totally annoying especially for mms and for viewing thumbnails in outside viewers like windows.
Any solutions on how to actually have the stock camera take a picture in portrait mode and actually store the pixels as as a portrait?
Thanks.

Hi, did you ever find a solution for this? It's so annoying, but there is almost nothing to be found about it on the Internet..
Hope you can help.

Gallery app auto "optimizing" photos when viewing?

Hi,
I have some photos on my phone that were not taken with my S5 and am finding that when I go to view them with the Gallery app that it is adjusting the color (and not in a good way). The app will momentarily show the proper color when opening the pic and closing it but will kind of whiten it when viewing. The pics look normal using quickpic and the google photos app. Just wondering if anyone else has this happening and if there is any way of turning it off before I try clearing the data for the Gallery app etc.
Thanks!

Hello,
It's not actually modifying the photo, it is using a Samsung technology to change the colors being displayed on the screen only. You can change your preference (but it appears not shut it off) by going into your Settings, then Display, then 'Screen mode'. But again, your photos aren't modified.

Thanks for your help. I did realize that it wasn't actually modifying the photos, I just really didn't like how it made the pictures look. You were totally right with your solution, I changed the display mode to Standard and it works properly now. I was using Adapt Display because I wanted the best sunlight legibility/brightness possible and everything had looked great until I noticed this issue. Thanks!
