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

So a while back I asked who else had a problem where when they take a pic in portrait mode it comes out rotated (it looks fine in mediascape but when you look at it on a cpu or with a file manger its actually rotated) and I tried everything to fix it (repairing with update service and factory reset) but it didn't help. So I just downloaded this camera app because you can add effect to pics and when I looked at the pics I took with it their right side up. So I came to the conclusion that its the native camera app that has this problem and I just hope there's a way to fix it because its annoying :-\
So after trying out different camera apps I confirmed it is the native camera app, I hope this is fixed in the 2.1 update or a dev can do it when the boot is cracked =/ (I commented to also bump it and to see who else has this problem)

What?
Most real cameras are the same way. The orientation data from a camera can usually not be read by Windows Explorer/Photo Viewer/Website uploaders.
The other camera apps you claim work are taking the pics at a different resolution, instead of using the orientation sensor. (e.g., 600x800 instead of 800x600). It's pedantic, but, it's not a "bug" or a "fault".
I just re-read my original post and it makes perfect sense, but I guess I'll explain again. When I take a picture in portrait mode the picture looks fine in mediascape but if I look at it with a file manger or upload it to a CPU, Facebook etc its actually rotated to the left. And I don't have this problem with any other camera app. So how is my pictures being rotated to the left not a bug O_O

Use a regular camera. This happens all the time, as the camera always shoots in landscape orientation, and just adds some orientation data to the file.
Camera apps shoot in a different resolution than the native camera app. It's not a bug, just the X10 behaving like a regular camera would.
Well i for the record also irritate on this, even if it is a normal action. If i see something fun and want to share that on FB, and the pic gets rotated sideways, it spoils the fun :-\

But it's a 1 second click on FB to rotate the pic...
I hope mobile was in landscape mode and.not portrait.

The X10 can view the full FB site just fine... still just a single click.
My X10 used to mess up the rotation of the pictures all the time. Even pictures taken in the X10 would show up rotated the wrong way in mediascape too. When I took a picture, and it did happen to be the right way up, once uploaded to facebook using the facebook app, it would be rotated the wrong way, regardless of whether it was taken landscape or portrait. This is definately a bug, as it never happens on my new phone, regardless of orientation of pic when it was taken... When I upload pics from my HTC, they are the correct way up, every single time..
It annoys me when people say there is no bug or it's the problem of the user... I have friends and my gf who unfortunately have to use the X10 still, and these things shouldnt happen! You shouldnt have to browse to the main site to rotate the photo, the facebook app or the phone should upload it properly..
The Desire uploads using "Facebook for HTC sense", maybe sony need a "Facebook for SE UI" or something to upload pictures properly.
Whether it's a bug with the X10, Android 1.6, or whatever, it shouldnt happen.
I too hope they fix this with the update, if and when it ever comes.
well, hopefully with everyone facing this same problem, SE will fix their damn app in the 2.1.x update.
it's stupid to upload from mediascape.. then go to the full site to re-orientate it.
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?

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.
Hi all,
Does anyone know why pictures taken in portrait mode shows up sideways when you view them on Windows or on ES File Manager image viewer?
Is anyone seeing this issue?
If i view it on my phone, using Gallery it looks fine.
I have an LG G2 Verizon variant.

In searching around the 'net, 90%+ seem to be iPhone users complaining about the same thing. From what I am gathering (so don't take this as gospel), it is the viewer app on the PC/Mac that is not reading the orientation info (metadata) embedded into the picture by the camera app when the picture was taken.
Usually, pictures/photos viewed on a Windows PC uses Windows Photo Viewer as default. If one were to change the association for jpg/png/etc to another application (Photoshop, for example), this metadata is read correctly and it's viewed with the correct orientation. It could also be, that the camera app is not correctly writing the orientation metadata to the file (there are a few posts attesting to that on the net too but they are not G2 specific).
Confirmed by various articles on Windows Photo Viewer; does not honor EXIF metadata: here is the wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Photo_Viewer

Appreciate the response Klotar, would this be the same case with ES File Manager's image viewer?

How about in landscape mode, with the LG logo on the left hand side when held?

It depends on the viewer, the built in windows image viewer seems to always show the wrong orientation for me. The image viewer I've been using for years always displays the correct orientation regardless of how the phone was held.
I found that most Android devices needs to capture picture sideways in order for Windows and iPhones to see them upwright.
