I noticed that on 2.1 compared to 1.5 the camera menu options only show in landscape meaning if you hit the menu to change the settings for taking photos while in portrait you have to rotate the phone to view the text correctly.
Is this a bug and is there a fix for it or is this the way Google decided to implement the camera software feature.
1.5 seemed better because I could view the camera menu options in both portrait and landscape when the phone was rotated.

Yeahhhhhh about that....
There is no way that I am aware of to rotate the cammera back in to portrait any more....it still pisses me off on occasion, but I got over it for the most part...not having the bad dreams and fits in the middle of the night any more at least. Glad thats over with, it was a long week.

HAHA Yeah, the night sweats get old quick, but they go away. Maybe the official release will have that worked out, maybe it was an over sight. DROID is on 2.1 and their camera can rotate....I think. Maybe it was 2.0.1 either way, I think it's our software not 2.1s fault.

Hi, I have never posted in these forums before but I have been using them ever since I had my tmobile wing.
Anyway today my friend asked to see my G1 and idk what he pressed or did but my applications tab was on the right side of my screen while my phone was in portrait mode. It looked sweet it slid out and all the icons were small. How do you do this? When I opened and closed my phone the tab returned to nomal.
My phone is rooted by the way with JFv1.42_RC33 as my rom.
that happens to me all the time
its a software glitch
i just restart my phone
It really doesn't matter to me because the dock is fine at the bottom, but I think being able to dock the application tab on the bottom, top or sides would just add to each users comfort and enjoyment.. and we all like to be able to customize various aspects of our G1, so why not the dock location?

Do you know how to make it happen? or does it just happen randomly?
its never happened to me but i think it's just a random glitch that happens when you open the keyboard.
but from the screenshots of it someone posted a while back, it does (in my opinion) look much better.
as far as i know, no one's been able to 'recreate' it.
This happens to me all the time on the h build. So annoying, it's like the phone doesn't know its in landscape mode. The tab gets in the way of the shortcuts etc. I can't wait to get back to G

Happens to me randomly, usually when I close the keyboard and rotate the phone at the same time.

no offence, but thats not what the OP was talking about. That's a known issue, rather than a random glitch.
Go the thread on adding features in the development forum, and download the launcher.apk there. Problem solved.
I'm left handed and when I want to turn it landscape I turn the phone to the right but it doesnt rotate to the right It does rotates to the left..
Is something wrong with my phone or does this happen to everyone else
Think it only works one way. I'm left handed too and haven't noticed any particular need to turn it to the right.. I'm used to phones behaving that way I guess.
If you're lounging in a chair holding the phone at an angle you'll be glad that it doesn't suddenly rotate on you when you least expect it..
Yeah, i'm a southpaw. I would love if it rotated to the right and left.
anyone know if Open Home or any of the other home replacement apps supports rotate in all directions?
The Android OS doesn't support a rotate to the right, no home screen can change this.
Individual apps can support it (see bebbled) if they program for it, but it's a hack.

Motorola has it enabled by default on the CLIQ, not sure about droid.
It's very possible and should be part of the core.
Was playing with my friend's iPhone last night - it does it.
I too am a southpaw, would be nice. But I don't find it annoying or anything.
Hello,
My HD2 doesn't seem to rotate the picture correctly when I take a picture with the camera. As the HD2 has an accelerometer I thought it would automatically rotate the picture depending on how I am holding the phone, but it doesn't. The picture is always as if I was holding the phone vertically (even though the camera interface is horizontal).
Also, there is no way in HTC Album to actually rotate the stupid picture. That's really annoying.
I see nobody complaining about this, so am I the only one having troubles with that?
Also, is there a way to turn off the dial tone in the telephone? It's really loud and annoying.
Thank you

So what actually happens if you hold the phone horizontally and take a picture? Is that picture then immediately shown back to you on it's side??? (so you'd have to go to portrait in order to see it the right way round?)
To turn off the dial tone (which I agree, is just hideous), go to settings tab, menu, all settings, personal, phone and change the keypad value to Off.

Ok, that is weird, I just tried to be sure and it looks like it's working fine now. Weird bug... worth thing is that I didn't even update my phone.

Thanks a lot for that one! My OS is in french and the translation for that option is so bad that I didn't understand what it meant.

Glad you got them both sorted. That is weird with the camera. Maybe an issue with your accelorometers? It'd be worth keeping an eye out, but it was probably just a bug.

Good idea.......
would be a very nice mod.
+1 on this, much needed maybe there could be a setting to say what the lock buton does, either locks the screen, or takes picture...

i was thinking the same thing since the first time i picked up the phone i thought the lock button would be on top and that the actual lock button was the camera button haha. but yeah i think itd be awesome to disable it when the camera is in use...and if we could disable the stupid low battery warning when the cam is in use too....we've got a notification led fix in the works already, a recovery image is being worked on, some devs are planning on porting CM6 to this phone, GPS and compass i believe are fixed for those who had problems with them, nightmode works a treat, so all we need are those 2 mods and i think the vibrant will be perfect...well for me anyway but im sure many would agree lol.
Even the lock/power button would be perfect.

uber bump! any devs considering this idea?
would this get more attention if i posted this in the development section as a think tank?
would really appreciate something like this. bump

i wonder if the cm6 port would incorporate it...idk why samsung didnt include a camera button, then again im surprised how they squeezed so many features and tons of horsepower into this light little thing in the first place haha
+1 this would be a great add-on
I agree. This would be excellent!
can someone with twitter send this to wesgarner? i would but i dont have a twitter and i dont think he checks these forums very often.
This should definitely be possible, since in the video player, the lock/power doesn't lock the screen - it just disables the touch screen - so that touching the screen doesn't do anything like causing the control buttons to appear. This proves that the button itself is programmable based on the app.

wow thats neat i never noticed that! i'm sure its possible we just need somebody with the know-how to implement it. also, i think i mentioned this before, but since on the g1 devs were able to add a reboot option (which btw would be cool if we did that here too) i was thinking there should be a camera option in the menu to launch the camera app. and if we could remove the stupid camera/video disabler when low battery comes on, thatd be awesome too. i'm sure once a custom rom comes along these things could be implemented but we gotta grab a devs attention first.

The camera app does this too.
I'm hoping that someone has picked up on this and that it is in the works, I hope that it's doable.

I can take a snapshot, I hear the camera shutter sound, but then what? When I try to paste it tells me there's nothing to paste. How do I use this screen shot?
The shots are in your "Gallery" app. when you go to a pic, there's a menu on the upper right with a weird symbol where you can select what to do with it: social hub, picassa, gmail, etc.
Go into your gallery and you'll see the screenshots that you have taken in the album ScreenCapture

Thanks.
So, how do I turn off the snapshot sound?

i haven't updated so i cannot test, but you might try seeing if you can turn off the sound in the camera app, and then see if that works.
Its nice to see that Samsung included "Screen Capture" option in TouchWiz but where they put it, is really annoying sometimes.
I accidentally hit this button (instead of the multitask) many times already.
I looked for a way to turn this off but it looks like there is no option to do so.

I agree. It can be hit by mistake if you're not careful. Wish they had a way to disable it, or set it so that we have to press and hold it for a second or two to activte it.

So you can share your screen when trying to help others get apps or widgets like they have, helps with instructions.
why it can't be turned off I do not know. It's hardly a feature worthy of putting right next to the most frequently used buttons.

Can we even turn the camera shutter sound off? I did on my epic and on my wife smaller tab but I can't seem to see a option on the 10.1.
As for the screen snap shot it has its moment's, my brother and I play games on our android devices and when I beat his score I take a snapshot and sent it to him via text to rub it in.
