As we all know, when we open the qwerty, the screen rotates 90º to the right. I can not get used to this so I went to my Setting-System-Screen and turn the screen to Landscape (left-handed), which is the same as the one you get when you open the qwerty.
It works fine until I actually open and close the qwerty. The problem is that after I close the qwerty, the screen goes back to the default Portrait configuration.
Does anyone knos how can this be fixed?
I wat my screen always in Landscape (left-handed) mode.
Help please.
There is no known way yet. You can set screen rotate to a hardware button so you can quickly rotate it back when you close the keyboard. That is the best option at the moment.
Thanks for the answer, now I know that it is not something that I was missing, so thanks.
The idea of the hardware bottom is a good one, I will try that, still not the perfect solution but it is something.
I wonder why noone has noticed that problem yet, so I'm creating a new thread.
HTC has removed the rotate gesture from the Album. They say it's because there is a G#Sensor now.
But that's bull****. Just think: What happens if you rotate the device because the orientation of a picture is wrong?
The picture rotates also, because of the G-Sensor, and it's wrong again.
That's VERY annoying! Is there any Album version (perhaps from Diamond) where the rotate gesture is still there?
I experienced what you mean for the first time today and didn't know what was going on.
For those who don't know what we are talking about......
This only happens when you take a picture with the lens looking straight down (for example when taking a picture of a page in a book). If you were to hang the book on the wall and take a picture of it, you would not have this problem. Test it for yourself, so you see what we mean. Take a picture of your keyboard standing directly above it. Or try one of the ceiling directly above you. Now go to your album and view the picture of the keyboard. Rotate your phone.
The annoying solution after having taking a picture like this is to hold the phone upright so the picture is nice and big. Then, carefully set the phone down on the desk and THEN turn it to the side (so the G-sensor won't register the turn).

i cant really get the problem here.. if i take a picture while holding my phone upright it'll look best in portrait mode.. if i rotate it then i'll look smaller.. now if i take the picture holding the phone in landscape. the picture will look small in the default portrait mode and will look nice and big when i rotate the phone..
i cant seem to reproduce your issue here!

When you take the picture - are you pointing the camera straight down at the floor or straight up toward the sky? I don't mean slightly aimed at the floor - I mean the lens needs to point directly down or directly up. That is the only way you will reproduce our issue.

I miss the rotate gesture as well. I took my 'old micro SD' from my 'old' touch dual and put it in my HD. The HD doesn't now 'know' how the pictures are taken so some I like to rotate.. but how can this be done with the HD?

indeed you are right! the problem here is that when you do take a picture this way to Album rotates too.. so the previews are messed up! now if you close the album and open it in portrait mode your issue is fixed!
im not sure about this but before installing apps like gsen, gyrator or mobile magic the album doesnt rotate when you rotate your phone.. only the picture preview does!
someone check it please!

Are you sure? I still have the issue no matter what mode I start the album in. The only solution I have found is placing the phone flat on a table and then turning it so the g-sensor doesn't catch the rotation.
EDIT:
Viewing the pics in slideshow mode and pausing it is also a solution, but annoying.
I took all my pictures normally, not pointing to the floor. Some are alright, some are turned upside down, some are turned to the side.
The camera doesn't get the right orientation, perhaps Gyrator confused the camera. I turned Gyrator off but I often take photos of documents, too and that's just annoying when they have the wrong orientation and I can't rotate them....
manual screen rotation
greetz first to all, you´r doing an amazing job!!!
not really a problem solver but maybe worth trying:
disable picture rotation in gyr2 for album
install aebuttonplus
assign "rotate picture" and "rotate picture clockwise" to button (for example volume up and down, long press)
=> rotate screen when viewing photos as desired!
...have to admit i haven´t tested it yet
S2V is an alternative to HTC Album. Picture rotation is working in S2V, but no zoom because the HD has no DPad
Is there anyway to manual change the picture orientations? Like a picture that has a wrong orientation when you put it on the HD, the auto rotation would mess it up all the time, either view it on the side or makes it so small that it just a waste of the screen estate.
It's a problem I notice a lot when I get photo messages. Most of the time the photo I receive is the wrong way round, and I can't find a way to make it switch round. So I get landscape shots that only show in portrait with big black bars top and bottom and vice versa.
I'm going to try using XN View to manually change the orientation as a workaround. But it'd be nice to have the Rotate Gesture.
Any Updates? This problem has gotten even worse with Dutty's laest ROM...
Is there a way to turn off the G-Sensor for the HTC Album?
Try this cab
With this cab you lose WVGA in the menu (it is annoying but you're still able to use it), but the most important thing is that making a 90º gesture rotates the picture.
In my case I needed a soft reset after installing (my HD freezed just the first time it started up, not the second)
Hope it helps.
in hd i used to toggle between landscape and portrait from setting - system- screen then portriat or landscape,
in hd2 how can i do this?? this property is not availabel in setting.
pls can somebody tell how to rotate screen in this hd2?
thanks
hi ..ive got a similar issue .....the only shortcut that works with the accelerometer on my hd2 is the photo album ....the browser etc doesn’t respond the orientation of the handset ??.....any help would be most appreciated
.............
Did you try to keep your screen upright (vertical) when turning te screen? This should at least solve the issue for a couple of programs like Opera in landscape.
Second, not all programs support a landscape mode. There are more discussions on this forum how to solve this issue. You could use the search to find them.
Hope this helps.

On Opera mine is only turning landscape on the left hand side (not on the right) weird...
Hello
As the topic states im out of ideas on how to get photos to rotate when viewing them. Have tried Gyrator and BSBTweaks but neither of these work. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Anyway .. why do you want that ?
I'm also looking for this... as far as i've seen android does things as it should... i mean when browsing through pictures in full screen the pictures are either landscape either portrait depending on how they where shot... thus not having to turn the phone everytime you scroll through them... and if you are in ladscape and the picture is in portrait you just turn the phone to portrait and there you go... the picture is in full screen.... (valid for the other way arround also)... how come this is not possible in WM?
Has anyone else noticed that the front facing camera is poorly aligned for video chat when the device is held in landscape mode? It's somewhat better in portrait mode but still not ideal.
Has anyone tried correcting this?

As a matter of fact, I noticed it today. I can't see as there's any way to correct it besides the "hammer and chisel" method
I to hate this
there should be some type of software adjustment as there is on my Hp Notebook
If the cam was centered at the top your fingers would be on top the cam in portrait mode. Paltalk chat required you to use the tablet that way ..with the cam as it it is works kinda Ok..
i so wish laptop and tablets would have a way to adjust the cam.. There was a Toshiba notebook with a cam that would flip to show the other direction . maybe a software mod could be created.. I know its possibly because it has digital zoom .there is prob a file in the driver folder with alignment settings..
