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.

Not in the FB app or mobile FB.

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.
I have an issue sending and receiving picture messages. Even when its one pic it shows up as a slideshow like when you sending multiple pics in one message. It doesnt even allow me to save pics because it shows up as a slide show anyone have any advice?
I have the same issue, not sure why it does that tho. Kinda wish I could change it....
Get handsent sms app or is it spelled handcent. Try both. Slideshow is the new thing on all htc devices.
The app doesnt have slideshow.

to save the pics, hold (press) right beside the pic and a pop-up should appear to copy files to sd card
I have been using android since day one of course i know to hold to save. It doesnt allow it because its a slide show. and i dont like handcent i prefer stock app. My nexus one never had this issue.
Buy auto save mms, awesome app

It's a known issue. There's a topic about it on the T-Mobile forums. T-Mobile had said that they are aware of the issue and are working on it. *shrug*

I don't get how that can get messed up in vanilla android. Seems the g2 has some interesting bugs.

Press and hold "NEXT" to the picture. It should pop up with an menu saying lock message, view sideshow ,copy attached to sd card, call ,forward ,view message details.
now if that doesnt work for you then idk because i never had that problem with any android.
^ what he said to be more clear
you dont hold the play button or the pic you tap and hold the text box where the pic is in and it will bring up the option
I have the same slide show issue, which is really annoying, but holding next to the picture defiantly allows you to save to sd card, but who wants to save every mms to sd just to view full screen? i know I dont, never had this problem with my N1
You guys are right I'm the idiot I was holding the slideshow pic like not the side. Never had this before with my other phone just hold the pic. The slideshow thing is annoying though.

ask the person to send it to your email, alot of people have email on their phones now a days. I know it isnt a fix but it does help
This also really bugs me. Im pretty OCD about things like that, and the only real solution is to use handscent which to me just isnt quit as nice as sticking with the stock app. I dont plan on rooting until 2.3, so maybe this can be fixed via rom?
I haven't experienced this problem. I hope I dont later on either.
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.
I've been having some MMS issues. They used to be sparse but over the last few days, they've become more and more frequent:
1) When I send an MMS sometimes, it goes out blurry. When I attach it, it looks clear. When I preview it, it looks clear. Once it's sent, the quality is significantly worse.
2) Sometimes I get an MMS, and I can't download it. It will say "downloading" for a while, then turn back into a button. It happens with WiFi on and off.
3) When I get a picture as an MMS, it comes in as a slideshow. Even if it's a small picture, like a screenshot from another phone, it shows up as 20 second slideshow.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Some pictures to illustrate point #1. First is a screenshot I'm trying to send. Second is how the preview looks in MMS, before sending. Third is how it looks once sent and received (I sent it to myself).
What rom and kernel are you running? If you are on stock, is it froyo or gingerbread? Are you using the stock messaging app?

My device details are in my signature but if you can't see it, I'm running CM7 nightly #174 with the demonspeed v9 kernel and Panache radio. Also, I'm using the stock messaging app.

Whenever i take a few photos with the camera they show up in the gallery for a minute or two then when you go back into gallery they dont show up but astro can see them fine, ive tried clearing data and the cache for gallery. Is there any fix to this?

Get quickpic. Been using it ever since. I hate gallery lol. Quick pic is 10 times quicker

I've had this happen on occasion, usually they show up again if I manually rescan media using Spare Parts.
Thanks guys I'll try both of those things. Another little annoying problem I've been having is with my ringtone, I go into the htc music app and find a good song and trim it etc etc, ringtone works fine for a while, then whenever someone calls me later on, it goes back to the default quietly brilliant app!, I even made my own custom sound set etc. I'm not sure what to do with this one and it's really annoying.

Not trying to sound like a smartass but you don't have it plugged in and set to mass storage mode when this happens, correct? Had a friend almost throw her phone out the window because it did what you're describing and well... see the previous sentence.
I did a factory reset and that solved my issue. No more disappearing photos. It gets pretty annoying though!

Highly recommend QuickPic, as the previous user suggested. It's totally reliable and the dev is great with support.
Stock gallery is prone to issues... I haven't had it installed for months.

One more thing to add. The only thing I don't like about quickpic is that it doesn't show my picasa albums like gallery does. I seriously doubt most people use picasa as much as I do though

if you want to use gallery, run first rescanSD. then you pics will become available again... it will not last for long. as soon as you exit and go in again, it will not be visible again...
rescanSD for some reason has never worked for me, i've been frustratingly going through astro shortcuts to my photos until recently.
