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?

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.
anyone know how to get landscape mode on sms ,lets say i tilt the phone it goes to landscape mode for typing and viewing and when i tilt it back to portrait it goes back to normal.
I believe BSB Tweaks can do this. Check it out.
I thought they did rotate on sms out off the box
try bsbtweaks or gyrator
I thought they did also but I know that some of the custom roms did not enable that which resulted me to switch it by using BSB tweaks. As mostly I did not want the actual homepage to go into landscape mode also so couldnt use the roms advance tools.

The attached cab will give you portrait rotation, but it'll do it on every tab not just messaging, so you decide if that'll work for you or not.

I had tried this cab before and it messes up the Photos & Videos tab badly.
What happened is that in the Photos & Videos tab, the photos are presented in their correct respective form i.e. portrait will be shown as portrait whilst landscape will be landscape.
After this cab is installed, when one slides to the Photos & Videos tab, it is blank and left in a hung state. The bottom menu options from your last tab location may also be lingering there.
I am sticking to the manual rotation mode via 1st button press.

This doesn't seem to happen on the Tmo stock ROM, the 2.10 one anyway. However, it does cause the pics and music tabs to display in landscape in the same style as they do in portrait (with vertical scrolling instead of horizontal)...but other than that, it works fine even on those tabs.
Hey guys, whenever i send a Picture Message, it always sends the picture sideways. ie, all my portrait pictures get rotated 90 degrees, and look as if they were in landscape. My wife has a nexus one, and this issue is non existent. I use chompSMS, but this issue is also present in the stock messaging app, and handcent. i have looked through all the settings, but cannot find what would seem to be the answer. Any help would much be appreciated thanks.
This only happens to me if I take the picture in portrait mode... if I take the picture in landscape mode (as I believe is intended), it will send it the way you took it
The 6 axis accelerometer should be able to tell though...
But there should be a setting to stop the auto rotate no??

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
With the HD2 camera, I have the problem that the orientation of jpegs when viewed on a computer sometimes doesn't match the orientation of the phone/camera when the photo was taken.
This is weird, and I'm wondering if it's due to some malfunctioning gravity-sensor gimmick, trying to rotate images automatically and getting it totally wrong.
Of 50 images of a sponsored walk, all taken on the same settings, the first ten are the correct orientation (landscape) but the remaining forty are landscape and sideways-on, and thus need to be rotated with PC software to make them usable.
Even stranger, on the phone screen the bad images display in correct orientation (landscape) while the good ones display rotated, i.e. in portrait while they were actually shot landscape.
Yet, no settings were changed and no change of phone orientation (other than putting-away between shots) took place to cause this.
Everything about the camera interface, especially the orientation of the controls, suggests that you should shoot landscape, and that was what I was doing.
-Any ideas how nail-down this nasty, which otherwise is going to waste a huge amount of time and effort fixing broken images?
ROM 3.14.405.2 WWE
I did a search, but can't find a specific answer. I have a new S4 and took a variety of pictures in both vertical and horizontal orientation. Auto rotate screen is set to on in device settings. All photos displayed properly in the Gallery app, but when I uploaded all to Dropbox, some were orientated sideways and I had to manually rotate them clockwise. This is my first Samsung phone, but all other phones I've had before, Motorola, HTC, etc. did not do this. Am I missing a simple setting on the Samsung to keep photos in the proper orientation or is there a known problem with EXIF data? I have found others complaining about the same problem when emailing photos, uploading to Facebook, etc.
I've noticed that since phones autocorrect the orientation of pictures without saving the correct view. If the camera takes a picture in portrait with the home button on the bottom then there shouldn't be a problem. If you take a landscape picture with the volume buttons facing down, then there shouldn't be a problem. This is assuming the auto rotation is enabled in the screen settings. Yes, I've experienced what you are explaining with since websites. Trial and error.
Quickpic, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder is a simple and small gallery replacement that can fix orientation issues.

Thanks oscar, I'll give Quickpic a try and see if uploading from that app does the trick. I can work around the problem, it's just an annoyance I hadn't seen before. I guess Dropbox is one program that does not read the orientation flag properly, at least as output on the S4.
