Updated Desire S to Skype 2.5.0.108 and now the orientation of video calling is wrong, eg with phone upright, my image is 90 deg off and with phone on it's side, my image is 90 deg off
Anyone having same problem?
Anyone point me to the earlier version that worked?
FIXED - BUT
Uninstalled and reinstalled
The new version does not give pic in pic in portrait. There are two windows one with me and one with the caller, but previously I was overlaid on top of the caller. Now it only does that in landscape,so in portrait the image is smaller. Same for others? Setting I am missing?

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~
I have got a new touch cruise (polaris) but when I tried to test the camera I noticed one vertical light blue stripe on the screen and also it stays on the photo. One or two days later there appeared three more vertical stripes and one horizontal violet stripe which also appear on the taken photos (see file attached). Those stripes only appears when turning on the main camera, those does not appears when using other features of the smartphone, nor when using the front camera nor when viewing the sample photos (cuz the taken photos are shown with these stripes).
I tried to find if there is any cover on the lens but there is no any one.
I installed the hot fox about blur when zooming but nothing changed.
I did a hard reset but the stripes did not disappear.
Unfortunately I can not use any guarantee for this phone.
My final option is to believe the rom (WM 6.0 spanish) was corrupted for the camera feature and that I could solve the problem reinstalling only the files for the camera (I do not want to reinstall the whole rom). Is that possible ??? Anybody can send me those files or tell me where can I find them ?? Any help ps
thks in advance
it's the same problem with me.. Anybody have a clue for this? The stripes is very annoying.. thanks...
anybody got the solution please?
Gents,
Seeing as it seems all vid conf software is not working yet. The HTC EVO 4G comes with software pre-loaded from Qik. It supposedly will work Android to Android with the front camera. Can someone rip the .apk off the phone and try it with two tabs?
Like everyone else, I would love to get at least android to android video conf to work.
i find that fring is more useful than qik. fring can go from android to iphone. link for fring apk
I don't have a g-tab yet, but from my understanding fring doesn't work. The audio makes it unusable.
Seeing as I don't have a tab yet, can someone try this on their tab and let me know if it works properly? It is supposed to be the video version from the EVO.
Yahoo messenger works for video calls. Though you have to hold the tablet in portrait
Good to know, thanks. Seems like the best mobile/tablet/desktop option at the moment. How is the video quality over 3G? 4G?
Is it just me, or is there a screen/webcam orientation problem? When using yahoo messenger the other party sees me sideways, 90 degrees off, when I rotate the image is still off by 90 degrees. When in the camera app the image is inverted, in landscape mode the image is correct, when I rotate the gtab the image is inverted (I'm upside down).
It's obvious that most of these video chat apps were written assuming the end user would hold the device in portrait mode with the lens over the screen, however, viewsonic installed it over the screen in landscape, but should have converted the image somehow.
I'm considering cracking the gtab open and rotating it myself, hopefully this should take care of it.
Does anyone have this same issue?
I have the same issue. As I am not totally thrilled with yahoo messenger, I am waiting until Google talk or skype come out with a better product.
One thought...had you tried to turn off auto rotate prior to starting the chat? I was going to do this, but havent gotten around to it.

BTW, I am running the latest Vega Tab ROM. Superfast, super cool, thanks to all the Devs!
LOL, I called gtab customer support about this and his only recommendation was to sear XDA for a solution.

Thanks, but tried both patches on their respective roms and still no luck. I find it weird that no one's reporting this and yet I had 2 tablets and both with same results.
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..
