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.
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.
Hello,
I often use the phone in landscape mode in my car. I would like to get the home screen and call screen (displayed when making or receiving a call) to rotate to landscape display. I've noticed that the call screen sometimes rotates to landscape but then very quickly back to portrait. I've managed to get the home screen to rotate to landscape using the rotate hotkey hint and tip. Is there a way of making this behaviour happen by default when the phone is rotated?
Thanks,
James
How did you manage to rotate the home screen ? I know there is a tip using rotate.exe .. but I could not find it.
I would like to rotate everything manually.
Anyway my phone application rotates correctly with no problem. Actually I hate it

I didn't think that you could rotate the current version of Sense (except of course photos & videos and the music tab).
Dr.Sid, if you want manual rotation, give PLToggle a go, in my signature
Please read before throwing the "search first" one liner out at me
Ive searched, ive read,
The problem is, sure i can add things to rotate in BSB tweaks, but my problems are a little more tedious.
With most roms comes rotation of the pictures and music tabs, and so on.
But alot of stuff i want to rotate, such as input for setting up email, so i can type it in with the bigger keyboard, signing in on the data services page in all those and so on.
Basicly i want everything that can rotate, to rotate, (heres where the but comes in)
BUT, when i add things like this to rotate it ends up adding manilla which ends up making the pictures and music tab rotate twice putting them upside down.
I want everything to rotate but what the heck, i dont want upside down stuff too
Ive used g-config and BSB in all of the NRG roms on the tilt2 and now on the hd2 and always does this
I would suggest you delete all the rotate instructions in BSB Tweaks and use a tool called Gyratur instead.
Hope this helps.
WB
I only added a couple apps in BSB to rotate. I would need to stop the pics and music tab to stop rotating and then rotate them by adding manilla (i think it shows up as start) to rotate.
Will deleting all the lists in BSB stop the music ad pics tabs from rotating? I dont think it will. Im not sure how to stop them. I think i tried gyrator not to long ago and got the same result, double rotate in music and pics tabs
No no no...
use this program, the default to portrait, run the "Show Apps Name" tab and add each program, along with its desired rotation. Make sure to select enabled and run at startup.

Ive actualy tried that before and just to satisfy i installed it and guess what, yup, music and pics tabs roate twice, so they are upside down.
Not good. Rotating on the lock screen unlocke the phone and then the app i guess crashed as it wouldnt rotate again

go to exceptions in changescreen config, if you see manila,.delete.it (hold down and then delete). Make sure that default is only the vertical (straight up, portrait) is the only one checked!
I removed manila and still had the double rotation with music and pictures tabs in sense. I rebooted the phone, just so you know. Maybe i have to kill all the rotations listed in bsb tweaks that comes in the rom?
Great, nothing at all on the exceptions page and portait only as deault. Now my all messages page and inside a text convo it rotates landscape and then goes right back to portate.
Just what i figured. No way to disable sense default rotating of the music and pics tasbs and enabling everything to rotate with something else
Have you tried changing the registry setting relating to music and album rotation then setting it to rotate with an app?
No, but i guess ill go looking into that now. And disabling htc messaging rotation too.
Id love to find a solution to this too but from what I've read it seems everyones stuck with the music/pictures problem...
I found a reg entry which im pretty sure enables/disable the album rotation but I couldnt see anything relating to the music tab.....
Someone must know if this will work or not..............

Anyone can get apps rotating! And without rotating manila home!!
Yes i am trying to get everything to rotate without any of the sense stuff double rotating. The most important things id like to rotate are pages where you click and sign in on things like the facebook tab, email setup and so on. I dont really care about rotating anything you listed that you have rotating. Those can easily be rotated with bsb tweaks and some other apps
oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............

I want everything automatically rotatable as well except for manila home, BUT I do want the option to (with long press send key for example). Is this achievable?
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.
