So i did a search and did not see anything and thought i would post this weird issue.
I come from a nexus 1 and did not previously have this issue.
When taking a picture in portrait mode or auto mode i then try to send a MMS or upload to Facebook and either of those apps turn the picture to landscape. SO there fore if i took a picture of my Christmas tree in portrait mode the default MMS app turns it to landscape mode and sends it.
Is there a way to keep it in portrait mode?

it is like this with all SGS phones, i too made a thread about this, didnt really get any answers
if you notice if u hold the phone in portraint mode and hit menu button the menu appears as if the phone was being held in landscape mode.....the ns doesnt like any other mode i suppose
Yes i agree everything works fine in Landscape mode. There fore why would you have a portrait mode if it is not going to work.

This must be a bug?
I swap to landscape mode using display settings.
All is well until I open and close the keyboard. It swaps BACK to portrait mode and even sets display-settings back to portrait!!
So there's no way for me to setup the device to stay landscape all the time and use the keyboard :/
Someone tell me there's a hack to fix this weird behaviour?
Hi, guys!!!
In Iolite there isn't option to change screen to portrait and landscape screen mode. So, I decided to write a small tool to do it. Hope it useful for someone.

anyone try this??????????????
I didn't, as i don't really see the point...
There is an option in the settings just for that (at least in custom roms).
If you have a stock rom, then it should be useful...

This is neither true, a little registry modify is sufficient, but:
I tried it, it doesn't work, in a first moment it change portrait to landscape but, when you close the app, display come back to portrait it's unhelpful

Some app can't be displayed in landscape mode (for instance manila). If you close this program and then it's manila run, screen mode will become portrait. It's happening with phone, that have option to change screen mode (i checked it).
If you run apps, that can be displayed in landscape mode (windows media player, file explorer...), you can then run this program, change to landscape mode, close program. You'll see that screen mode will remain landscape mode.
ok, but is too work... after registry modify, you can to associate "rotate screen" function to an hardware button, I do it with long press "green horn", thus, I can change portrait to landscape and vice versa in every moment I want...
I have just found out how to enable option to change between landscape and portrait screen mode. I will include it in my next ROM
Best regards!!!
I would open my sms tab from the home screen and then after I open a message I would turn my phone sideways and it would go landscape and I would be able to type in landscape etc...
now when I turn it sideways it goes into landscape then switches right back to portrait .... I do not know what is going on, it is a little irritating since typing in landscape is easier for me...

try to recalibrate the accelerometer aka "g" sensor
go to settings-->sound&display=== "calibrate g-sensor" option.
set your phone on a flat surface and let it do its thing.
That did not work.... but thanks for the help any ways! .... I wonder what it is...
I closed all open applications and after that it seemed to work.....
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.
Anyone else notice that the phone will automatically go into landscape mode even if the phone is being held upright? For instance, when I open the market, it will always change to landscape. Is this a 2.2 feature or is something buggy?
80+ views and no replies... I'm guessing this is something unique to me? Alright then, is there any way to recalibrate the phone's orientation?
It's not just you, but you are a bit wrong on exactly what's happening. If I open an app, initially it will open in portrait mode. Then if I rotate the phone it will go to landscape. Now, hit home, and you go back to Sense and its in portrait. Hold the phone in portrait and open another app, it will be in landscape. It's like the phone stays in landscape in the background whenever you go to the Sense screen which is always in portrait, and then ignores or forgets to switch any running apps back to portrait in the background, and any new apps will open in landscape as well. Annoying... I like the way 2.1 switched ALL apps back to portrait whenever you went back to the home screen. Can anyone patch this?

Yes, this is happening to me too... I find myself tilting my phone to fix it when I shouldn't have to. Know of a fix?
