I am on nightly 12 and everything is awesome! But when I record something on the 720p setting, when I watch the actual video in the gallery, it's a blue screen and I see a hairline portion of the video up top. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
thanks for any input!
If you recorded the video with the phone in landscape, turn the phone sideways so its plays back in landscape and it will play correctly. Similarly, if you recorded in portrait, hold the phone in portrait orientation.
This is a known bug in CM7. It happens when you record a video in landscape and try to playback with the screen in portrait orientation, or vice versa (record in portrait and try to playback in landscape). The videos will play fine on other devices, such as a PC.
Ahh! I see.
The weird part was that when I recorded in landscape and watched it in landscape, it still wouldn't work. Maybe it's because I set it up so that my screen doesn't always switch orientation.
Thanks again!
Also, do you know anything about getting better picture quality when messing around with the camera settings?

I recently reseted my trinity plus CHT9110 to factory setting. My "pictures & video" software however is behaving oddly. When displaying photos in slideshow, and rotating the picture so it can fit perfectly on the 240X320 screen, it rotated the wrong way thus displaying the picture upside down. This was never a problem before my reset and I couldn't solve the problem by playing with the options. Please advice. Thank you.
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.
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.
Hi all as I said in the title, when i stream a video in the browser (not chrome) and i tap the fullscreen button in landscape mode the softkeys hide and appear continuously, doesn't matter if i'm on youtube, facebook or another site.
i made a video to explain better the situation:
sorry for the quality, i record it with my old phone but the issue is visible.
The same thing happens to someone?
is there a solution?
EDIT: forgot to tell that i'm on the stock google 4.2.2 no root, no unlock, no custom kernel.
and yes I've searched on google but i found nothing.
Maybe because it's a video watched from your browser, so whenever you're reading text, looking at a picture or watching a video, soft keys will appear.
What's your current browser ?
Did you try with another browser ?
eydesy inflam
currently i use dolphin, but the same was with boat browser.
this happens when i hit the fullscreen button so the text is not visible, i don't think that is because of it.
can u try to stream a video with dolphin on youtube or somewhere in landscape and in fullscreen?
that happens u too?
I tried, and when I hit the full screen button it actually shows the soft keys. But when I hit wherever on the screen again the soft keys disappear. Do you hit again the screen after your video is played in full screen mode ?
nop i click fullscreen button and nothing more. but if i click on the video nothing changes, still loop of hide and show.
EDIT: new info the issue not happen when i stream 4:3 videos but only when the video fits all the screen (16:9 videos)
Could you please provide the video link so that we can test?
http : / / youtu.be/IgeTCK8UIgo
remove the spaces from the url, but on youtube u can find a lot of 16:9 videos and the issue appear the same
there is a bug in Youtube too, if you play a video and do nothing, softkeys are hiding but if you touch the screen, grey button remplace the Home Back and Recents keys and its not hiding

Well, you're not the only one ! I suggest you to watch videos from the YouTube app.
thx, possible that nobody noticed that?? :silly:
I did a search, but can't find a specific answer. I have a new S4 and took a variety of pictures in both vertical and horizontal orientation. Auto rotate screen is set to on in device settings. All photos displayed properly in the Gallery app, but when I uploaded all to Dropbox, some were orientated sideways and I had to manually rotate them clockwise. This is my first Samsung phone, but all other phones I've had before, Motorola, HTC, etc. did not do this. Am I missing a simple setting on the Samsung to keep photos in the proper orientation or is there a known problem with EXIF data? I have found others complaining about the same problem when emailing photos, uploading to Facebook, etc.
I've noticed that since phones autocorrect the orientation of pictures without saving the correct view. If the camera takes a picture in portrait with the home button on the bottom then there shouldn't be a problem. If you take a landscape picture with the volume buttons facing down, then there shouldn't be a problem. This is assuming the auto rotation is enabled in the screen settings. Yes, I've experienced what you are explaining with since websites. Trial and error.
Quickpic, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder is a simple and small gallery replacement that can fix orientation issues.

Thanks oscar, I'll give Quickpic a try and see if uploading from that app does the trick. I can work around the problem, it's just an annoyance I hadn't seen before. I guess Dropbox is one program that does not read the orientation flag properly, at least as output on the S4.
