I'm wondering the same thing. Any picture that's taken in portrait mode has the wrong orientation when sharing via mms or Facebook. Any workarounds?

its not just the NS, lurk around the SGS forums they might have a fix that will work, but other than that, it appears that the camera is only intended for use in Landscape
hello. ive looked around the forums and havent found anything like my problem. My problem is that whenever i receive an mms, usually a picture, it becomes a video with a cation. like my friend today sent me a picture of his new skateboard and when i opened the messanging app, it shows the little video playback button, you know the little sideways triangle in a box, over a thumbnail of the picture. when i click it has a picture of the skateboard, it is a five second video of the picture that takes up a 1/4 of the screen in the top left corner with a black background and his message under the picture. then the "video" ends and takes me back to the menu of the messanging app. oh, and you cant interact with it like a picture, so no zooming in or panning. this happens with every picture and is becoming really annoying. any help appreciated! thanks!
ps: im on a tmo g2 on tmobile

Same thing happens to me. I don't think there's anything we can do about it though.

Maybe there's an alternateive messaging app?

Because I usually end up asking the sender to email it so I can view either the pic, sound file, video, etc.

You're going to love this. Long tap on the "text" of that message. You should see an option "save attached to SD card." That option will save the pic to /sdcard/download. And the gallery app will pick that right up.

Thanks! Its allot better than some "side show". Just wish you could view it straight from the messaging app instead of saving it but ill live, thanks! But is mine the only one that does the video thing?

Continuing this solved thread, I have another bug-like event:
when I send an MMS the messaging app "slows down". A lot. It takes 4-6 second for the app to open, typing letters are VERY slow.
I have to kill the messaging app and the it works fine again.
anyone else having this?

It's happened to me before. It seems it has more to do with the gallery, 3D gallery to be specific.
I'm using gingerbread (cyanogen 7.0 RC1) and I think gingerbread addresses this issue and displays it correctly unlike froyo.

I don't have a 3D gallery, so that shouldn't be the case.
After sending an MMS, it slows down my messaging app, I have to kill it, then it is good again.
I tried attaching a pic from a message, I have also tried tapping on a picture and share it as MMS, same thing happens.
Greetings All,
Is it just me or is anyone else having camera trouble. I have the stock ROM, haven't rooted yet, and I notice the phone will hang after I snap a pic or when I attempt to view the pic in the Gallery. I mean it will really hang.
I usually have to shut the phone down and restart it. Or I back out of the camera program all together and try to relaunch it.
Am I the only one?
never hear of that problem until just now, after reading your message
we've seen all kind of other color off related issues with the camera, but not causing the phone to hang
did you try another camera software to see if it does the same?
try Camera 360 for example
https://market.android.com/details?id=vStudio.Android.GPhoto
Also have not heard of this issue. What does camera 360 do?

I love android but for all the bragging Google makes about "real " multitasking I find it really lacking, let's say you get an email and you have an attachment you download and open the picture but then someone calls you and you finish the call you press the multitasking button and want to open the picture again but the gallery is not "open" ist not in the recent apps /multitasking list and if you try to open the gallery by yourself with the launcher or a shortcut the picture you were watching a couple of minutes is not there because "gmail open the picture with the gallery but the gallery is not being used " , then you try to go to gmail then to see your picture there but surprise ! The picture is closed and your back on your mail , you have to reopen/ redownload your picture
What do you guys think ? Am I being to picky ?
Also the thumbs from the task switcher , sometimes the pictures showing there could be from a state your app was 30 minutes ago , they don't update in real time :banghead:

Works for me.
Are you sure you havn't played with the number of allowed background apps setting in developer options?
Nexus4 has 2GB of RAM, plenty to support the apps you mention.... Android will only start closing background when when memory is low, and form oldest first.
I don't know how exactly android works, but this is my guess on why things happen as you've mentioned.
Each screen in android is called an Activity. When gmail opens picture, it is not opening the entire gallery app.
It's just opening an activity within gallery app to display a picture.Which is why the gallery app is not in multi-tasking list.

If you were to press back you'd go back to the image and such and as a matter a fact i prefer it this way. I don't want every image I view from email to be in my gallery as I didn't save it. The view attachments is a preview of said image. If a call comes in then and it looses focus it I wouldn't expect to go back to the Gallery and find it there since that's not where it was in the first place (even though the Gallery App was the one that opened it. That's like watching videos online then later in the day going back to gallery to expect to find that same video).

If this is happening then it is very likely a problem with the application. Android has a great structure in place for multitasking, but developers also have to do their part to make sure their app works as expected.

If you exit gmail application with the gallery activity still open, of course the picture would appear again when you return. That is live multitasking.
Yeah so true.. its way better on iOS where you get a jiggly icon
*pffttttt* ahh hahahahahaha

There is an app called PVStar+ (or similar) which allows you to play Youtube in the background. I use it to listen to concerts...
Anytime you get interrupted with a phone call, complete your call, press back, and your gallery image would appear.
The real answer, I just opened gmail, went to an email with image attached, opened in gallery, then press home. Hit multitask key, and the gallery image appears with the gmail icon and name. So the multitask works correctly like it should. Not sure why this thread states otherwise.

Android relies heavily on the back button to navigate through the os. Learn to use it and your life will be a lot better.

No, no you're getting me wrong , what i mean is that it would be better if when you open the gallery the image should be there until you close the gallery when you close it then the picture should be gone which brings me to my other complain, the multitasking button should really kill the apps , not just delete them from the list, well not really kill them since android has to keep the apps "open in the background" just reset them to their "stock state" just so that the background syncing/notifications still work

Well maybe gmail was a bad example, but you have to admit that the way multitasking works in android is very patchy and not only on third developer apps
AW: Multitasking needs some serious improvements :'(
Apps do not multitask at all on Android, only services do. When an app goes to the background, the OS asks it to pause and save its state. When it comes back to foreground, the OS asks the app to resume and load its state. This creates the illusion of multitasking, because the app continues where you left, but only works if the app developer follows the guidelines.
Hi,
I have been experiencing issues with pictures taken from the main camera of this phone.
The pictures are rotated up-side-down.
Any picture (taken from main camera) and sent via whatsapp is reduced to the resultion of 240*320.
No matter what I do to rotate the picture on the computer or recipient mobile phone the orientation stayed up-side-down.
Has any one got this problem, any solutions?
Have you try to change the orientation of the screen ?

There are two ways to rotate a jpeg photograph. One is by the exif data in the file, one of which specifies orientation. The other is by completely rewriting the file to change the order in which the pixels are scanned. Not all programs recognise the exif orientation data. Suspect that the program you use to rotate the image is using the exif method but the program used to view the image does not recognise that.
