Hey, how's it going everyone? I am new to these forums, and I have attempted to do some searching around, but I have yet to find a true answer to this problem. So, I love my Samsung Infuse. I just got it roughly a week ago, and I am basically switching from my iPhone 4. An issue that I am having is that I want to be able to take pictures in portrait mode and landscape mode, but the camera doesn't seem to be designed to take pictures in portrait mode, as every picture I take like that, the picture always comes out at some 90 degree angle. Is there any way to really fix this, so that I can take pictures in both modes? Maybe a handy application that I haven't seen in the market? I just want to be able to turn the phone one way and take a picture, which I don't understand why it isn't implemented in the first place. If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
I am not sure if this will help what you are trying to do or if you already tried it. There is a turnwheel kind of icon on 1 of the corners when the camera application is turned on.if you click that, there is a option for scene mode. if you click on that, you will get various options inside. 1 of them is portrait. hope this helps.
^ i dont think that is what the op means.
op you ar eright the previews dont detect the phones prientation, but they show correctly in the gallary so the phone is detecting the orientation. if they are 90deg off when pulled to the computer then it would seem there is a bug in the orientation, i havent tried copying to my computer, nor sure is there is an issue beyond the previews only displaying in landscape mode.

I am looking for somebody to please attach to this thread a .reg of virgin (or nearly) settings stored in HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera
I'm trying to figure out a problem I've read about in other threads with unsatisfactory resolutions (hard reset and/or disable a feature). There are actually two problems.
1. My camera started locking up after taking pictures and pictures would not save. In Camera\Image there's a setting EnableEncodePortrait that controls whether the camera automatically rotates the picture 90 degrees. If you disable this, the camera WILL take pictures again, but...
2. The Album shows all new pictures rotated incorrectly 90 degrees. Basically, every picture is portrait and not landscape.
Now, these two problems seem to oppose each other. If you want the pictures autorotated to the correct orientation, you need the setting enabled. But if you don't want the camera to freeze you need it disabled. lol
Obviously somewhere along the line in my tweaking I've fouled something up. I'm thinking it's just a matter of finding some setting to tweak back to an appropriate value, so I wanted to compare the registry from a virgin install to mine. I would hard reset myself, but then I can't test to see if I fixed the problem or not.
Can I get a hand, my fellow tweakers?!
Thanks!

EDIT: I've found that my problem was the Diamond 2's gsensor. After I uninstalled that, and set EnableEncodePortrait back to zero, my problems magically disappeared.
are there anyway to have camera work proper with diamond 2 gsensor?
i dont think the solution is to uninstall and forget about it. i never have any problems with camera. i know the camera uses the accelerometer to decide whether to have the picture in landscape or portrait. i have an issue with double rotate in album though. ill have to get some proper screenshots of what i mean. other problems i have is teeter freaks out. i solved that by deleting the entry for it in gconfig. the rest i havent decided yet.
thanks
i uninstalled and live happily ever after~
Has anyone learned anything new regarding the Burst and Sport mode being enabled for the HD2? So far I've seen sights saying it's enabled when the registry is tweaked, but what a lot of them don't include is that this only allows the buttons or choices to be there. I haven't read one statement of these modes actually WORKING on anyone's HD2. Can we at least make a sticky of these type of things? I know I wont be the first one making a thread like this after finding out they don't work. Also the search function doesn't turn up much. Just some user posting what I posted without anyone confirming or denying it.
Don't work for me either, doubt I will very much use them though
I tried as well with no luck. I tried using it the other day when I took my son to the park to get some pictures of him on the swing and the slide and came up with the error.
Burst and sport mode not working on 1.66 ger ROM too.
No solution?
i got them both running on my touch diamond xD
but on the hd2 i havent got further then being able to select these options (i searched the reg to enable them). when i actually shoot the picture, in burst mode it says: "writing denied" (but just had an idea a second ago^^, will check on this later) and in sports mode it takes only one of three pics. this could be caused by my tryout for activating unlimited lightning
Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

What Scroll Bars?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.
Hi XDA, I'm not sure if this happens of anyone else, but if i take a picture with my OPO in the portrait position, the picture that I take would show more than what is shown on the screen. Any solution to this? TIA
Thats working as intended. Its been like that on other devices as well.
I haven't seen anyone else with this issue, but maybe they've just been silent. So, I take a picture, everything is fine. I look in the gallery, everything is fine. But when I go to share the picture either via MMS, uploading to an app, or uploading to a webpage, the image appears on the page but has been rotated 90 degrees. Has anyone else had this issue? It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying. Somewhere between the gallery and the upload, the picture gets rotated. But if I go into my gallery, the picture is fine. It's only on the site/app that it was uploaded to that it rotates on its own.
Happens in hangouts every time I send a portrait oriented photo. Happens on friends s6's too.
Now that you mention it, it has always happened with pictures taken in portrait mode.
Happens to me also. Emailing pictures they are rotated.
Copied the picture to my computer and when I opened it to edit I got a message indicating that the Exif data indicated that the picture had been rotated and asked if I wanted to rotate it.
Odd that it's not displaying correctly.
Same issue, annoying
This has been happening with the S6 I bought for my wife, and so far I haven't seen anyone post a solution. It seems odd that more people aren't complaining about it though. Hopefully the update they just released addresses this issue, but it's not listed in the changelog. Since I bought it off swappa I'm really hoping it's not a hardware defect.
Hasn't happened since applying the last update, fingers crossed that it's fixed now.
S6 Edge pics rotated 90 degrees
I'm having the same problem, but for me it is more than just annoying. It impacts my work. Perhaps 50% of the time, pictures I post to the professional app related to my job are rotated 90dg. More than just annoying, it's unprofessional.
As far as I know, my phone is up to date with updates. In fact, this problem may not have started until the last update.
Please advise.
I've had this problem both with my S3 with various stock and AOSP roms (and different camera apps) and now on the S6 on stock and XtreStoLite as well. After googling a lot and occassionally encountering other people's flipped photos I learned this is a problem with how the phone handles EXIF data and how certain apps or software on the computer handle it. Apparently the info of rotation is changed (90, 180, 270 and 360) but some apps ignore it while others don't. It could be another case of Samsung messing too much with source codes.
Then again, my cousin has the same problem with his iPhone..
