When I attach a picture that I took in portrait mode to an SMS it gets turned sideways. In other words, pictures always get attached in landscape mode. Is there any way to change that?

I don't like this either.
The fix is to crop photo, after taking your shot, then delete the original to alleviate any confusion, and after that lengthy process, you can now post to MMS, or Facebook, correctly. I would hope to see an easier fix, but this works for now.

ya what the heck? I just noticed this. I don't recall ever having this problem on my N1... did I just never upload images???
Rotate doesn't even help! One of the nicest things about android is the easy of sharing photos to multiple places QUICKLY from the regular OS apps and this completely defeats the purpose. It's not just SMS it's sending to Facebook and other sharing as well.
HAVE to CROP the picture to get it to upload properly?
Don't recall ever having to do that either... /mad

its an issue with all SGS phones
Only way I've fixed it is to actually crop the picture in the gallery. Then they stand up straight.

Hello.
Dec 2011 - Here are a few camera issues that I've been experiencing with my new SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 Galaxy S II Skyrocket using the provided camera/video app:
Issue #1: Indoor photos.
Photos taken indoors (in "normal" lighting) typically look very dark. If the flash is engaged, the subject often appears with a blue tint.
Issue #2: MP4 playback audio/video issues.
After transferring video captures to my Windows 7 desktop pc (filetype is MP4), the video and audio are out of sync / not in sync / mis-aligned during playback. File size is a mere 30MB. This was true of Quicktime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc.
Anyone else having a similar experience?
I've had the same issue with the camera my roomate experiences the same issue. I haven't had the issues with the video though. For my camera quick fix I downloaded Camera ZOOM FX yesterday and the picture quality seems much better. Hope that helps, but I'm hoping for a legitimate fix too...

If you are getting the blue photos you have a defective unit. I traded mine in and the new one takes much better pics...no blue tint

Has it been verified that it's a defective unit issue? I ask because I get the blue tint as well. Pictures also seem to come out dark in well lit areas. Alhough, the little widget size image priview it shows in the corner after the picture is taken looks correct, the image itself when viewed anywhere else looks dark.
I'm sure this as been answered 1000 times, but how might one go about restoring apps/data when switching to a new unit? If I make a copy of my rom, can I just flash it to the new unit?
Same issue Here.
When I frame a photo it looks fine, but after the picture is taken it looks dark.
I'll try another camera program like Camera Zoom FX.
I had the blue tint got a replacement and life's good.

Same here. Both of our skyrockets take great pics

So I'm just wondering... I've seen threads about this in multiple areas but i haven't seen a fix for it. Are there any solutions to the gs3 taking blurry pictures? Before you take the pictures they look fine but no matter what you do, when you take the picture they turn out blurry. I've gone through 4 s3's and they all have this problem. I've used multiple camera apps on different ROMs on all of them with the same result. Its very frustrating. On the front facing camera the pictures turn out absolutely horrendous. Pretty sure its a defect with the s3 in general.

Take a q-tip, clean the lens.

Maybe tap the screen and focus
I don't have that problem nor most of us so it's certainly not a defect.

Its not an issue with the lense. Its the actual picture after processing that turns out blurry. This is a picture of myself taken with the front facing camera. It did not look anywhere near this blurry before taking the picture.

Well i notice it personally. This is a screenshot of the camera app before the picture was taken. Perhaps its just something that bothers me more than other people.

Aosp camera isn't always the best and it looks like that, also because of lighting around.

I think the problem is you are stressing the Gorilla Glass. This is one of the best most abusive tests that I have seen performed to prove that Gorilla Glass is tough to break.
Just kidding, I personally don't see anything wrong with the picture considering it is not a DSLR and the fact that the lighting is horrible. A lot of factors go into taking a good picture besides just focusing on the subject.
Picture seems about right in a low light, being a front facing camera, and on a smartphone. You are not able to compare a true dedicated camera (for now).

Did you find a solution to the problem? I'm facing the same issue with my S4.
All I see is some smoothing from post processing. There's nothing wrong with that picture.
I think perhaps you don't realize that the front facing camera is not a good camera. It will not take quality photos like the rear facing camera.
The picture is blurry because the quality of the sensor. The post processed picture is simply smoothed to remove the pixelation from the low light/resolution.

So im thinking about getting a nexus 5 but I want to know if the autofocus issue was ever fixed?? I love taking photos and videos but if the autofocus makes the camera not really useable in a lot of circumstances then I probably wont get it. Tried to find another thread to see if this problem was corrected by developers via a rom or a flash or if it is hardware related.
I have never had an issue. And I take plenty of photos.

+1 for photos. Not for video though. The autofocus is terrible in videos. It's constantly focusing every 2-3 seconds and it makes the video look really odd.
To OP: No, it hasn't been fixed.
The videos I have taken look just fine. I have a puppy and took videos of her running in the snow and they all came out good.

Not my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFxHkuAfj48
Notice the "pulsing" every 2-3 seconds? That's what I mean. If yours doesn't have that, that's good, but most of us have that problem. I guess it's only noticeable when you don't move the camera.
So based that it is feburary, I'm assuming this is a hardware issue. The video breathing problem is ridiculous and also happens on the Nexus 5. That's my concern. If it has been solved in a rom, then perfect, but if this problem is unfixable then thats a dealbreaker for me. I do alot of videos with my phone and I dont want to pay for a $600 phone if I cant do something basic as record videos on it.

If you are that interested in videos, you should consider in investing an actual video camera. Phones aren't really meant to meet the standards of camcorders and other video capture devices, rather than to just catch an interesting moment of someones live with a casual photo/video. I know it sounds rather inconvenient and superficial, but thats just my two cents on the subject.
Edit: I've never had trouble with the breathing video. But then again I don't really use that option that much.
I can't reproduce the refocus whilst holding it still / panning left or right. I can only reproduce it if I move the lens further or nearer to the object. Not a tiny amount that's analogous with a slight wobble or the human conditions rather feeble attempt at stillness - no. I have to almost exaggerate the movement to trigger autofocus

for me it refocuses evety time i move the phone, left/right, up/down, or further/closer. but it doesnt refocus at all when im moving.
not to be graphic but I filmed a video of some dirty deeds and quality was awesome. phone was not moving. I believe some roms have more issues then others. some roms the video is extremely dark and some roms when I take a camera picture with flash is snaps the photo to fast and just captures the flash.

I have been experiencing crazy camera issues while taking photos with direct sunlight. There is a blue dot below the sun and I am seeing if anyone else is having this issue. Pics are attached. Not sure if this is a hardware flaw in the optics of the lens. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That is called lens flare and is completely normal.

Ever watched a JJ Abrams movie?
Thanks for the info. I was unsure of this because I never had this happen with s3,s4,s5,g3, or note 4.
