When I take a picture with the phone vertical and send it through hangouts it gets to its destination sideways. I have tried changing the aspect ratio of the pictures and that does not help. This just started happening not that long ago. Anyone experience this and have a fix other than not using hangouts.

Hey everyone,
Just recently, I've been having a problem with blurry pictures because the photo taker assumes that the photo is taken and saved before it is taken.
Previously on roms, once you press the blue button on the camera app, you see the autofocus do its work, and then it stops (which means the photo has been taken).
However, on the ROM I am currently on, it does the autofocus and the still, but takes like 3 seconds after that before the photo is actually taken O.O I'm not sure why, but this is causing a lot of blurry pictures because autofocus doesnt account for the 3 seconds between the focus and the actually photo taken.
Any ideas?
I do not have your phone/brand/rom so I have no experience in your device whatsoever.
However, I think that you are spot on about the autofocus potentially being a cause.
Are you able to disable it or use another camera application that has tap to focus or similar?
Sorry for the late reply.
Using another camera app causes some glitches (parts of the picture cuts off, streaks of white on the sides, etc.). Tap to focus will not help the problem because there is still a gap between when the pic is taken and when it is focused.
Thanks.
I've encountered a weird bug. Any pictures taken with the front facing camera either through hangouts itself or the camera app, don't seem to be delivered. It says it sent, but my girlfriend does not receive. However sending a picture taken with the normal camera is delivered. Anyone encountered something like this?
I have confirmed that front facing camera pics will send with Textra sms app

KitKat has built in nude selfie prevention technology. Just kidding. I just sent one to my wife and it worked. Must be something on her carrier or phone end. I opened Hangouts and took the pic through the camera button on bottom. Try sending one to someone else and see if you get different result. Also, does she use an iPhone and maybe this is an issue between Hangouts and iOS?

she does use an iphone. Seems odd though that pictures taken with the normal camera will send

That is unusual. Ask her to download the iOS version of Hangouts and see if she will then receive them. If you know a few people with both iOS and Android, try sending a few people one. This could be a way to weed out the exact cause.
Tried sending some photos via hangouts on a new S6...photos come across blurry, and it's rotating them 90 degrees for no reason. Anyone else having this problem?
So viewing the exact same hangout on my nexus 5 and new S6 gives totally different results. Everything is great on the nexus 5, but s6 pictures are pixelated, and sometimes rotated incorrectly. Anyone else having problems with hangouts?
Here's a video.

I have the same exact problem on my LG G2 as well.
This started happening two or three updates ago.
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..
Hi so recently discovered that mms is terrible through one plus messaging app so downloaded Google messages app which I used to use on pixel and any other Android.
My issue is when accessing the camera to take a picture through the messages app everything looks stretched vertically. Once picture is take and sent it appears shorter and normal. I have disable on screen button not sure if that has something to do with it.
I had the same exact problem, so I went to Textra and everything is working fine.
