Hello,
Just a poll to know, while driving and using GPS navigation software do you use your HD2(and other 2-way capable devices) in landscape or portrait position?
I'm using Landscape but my screen keeps turning off automatically after a while running the GPS with iGO8.
Anyway to disable this auto shutoff while GPS is running?
Landscape, as Navigon Mobile only displays the advanced route information in Landscape mode (pictures of exits).
I'm using landscape mode with CoPilot Live. Works beautifully!
Portrait
I want to know where I am going, not what is around!!!!

somewhere in the settings choose any other option besides DEVICE SETTINGS
this applies also for screen orientation
FLAME ON!!!
I can't wait till the flaming starts over this. It'll be great sitting back and watching people slating each other over the orientation of their device. I wonder how iPhones will be brought into this discussion though?

landscape with TomTom 7 here, works fine
Well, I use iGO8 in portrait and 3D view because you can see the road a bit further ahead. I think I should get used to landscape
Portrait!
This is one of the most odd phenomenons in the world: why do manufaturers make gps in landscape mode?? It is only topped by one oddity: why does the customers accept a nobrainer as landscape mode for gps navigation?
You are moving forward and is probably more interested in what lies ahead then what happens a kilometer to each side? It is an artisfact of the all-ruling marketing "logic". It looks hip resembling a cinema movie ... so it must be right says the marketing "logic".
My first gps unit only had forced landscape and it showed a broad info band at the bottom and a broad info band at the top, leaving only 60% of the already small forward area for the actual purpose of showing the road. Jesus Christ, how dumb can it get!!?!
I must quote John Cleese: "marketing people! <spitting noise>"
I have an HTC Desire and is thrilled about Google Maps in portrait mode. I am checking out the Garmin 3790 with natural portrait mode!

Of all the rotation features why do they disable it in mms? Every picture I have forces me to view in landscape mode. Pictures originally taken in landscape mode come out fine and the portrait seem to be on the small size. Is there any regedit or "hack" to fix this?
Save the file(s) and view in the Photos and Videos tab?
Tis what I do.
That is absolutely obnoxious... plus the pictures come in small for as large as the screen is.

i don't quite know what you are referring to as obnoxious, I don't exactly see people bending over backward to help you, and as I said that is what I do.
Rotate Screen might work, I don't know I don't have any MMS's since I last hard reset.
Search the forums for MMS fix.
It'll fix the small picture size real well.

Tried all the fixes and they either remain the current size or smaller. I looked at our demo HD2's and all my buddy's HD2's and they are all the same. If the picture was originally taken in landscape mode it is considerable larger than one taken in portrait. Maybe I'm being just too picky I figured a MMS would come in full screen but that isn't anywhere near the case.

I appreciate the input... I mean having to save the picture to get it to rotate is the obnoxious part. Do all MMS pictures play as a slide show? What happened to the old days where someone sent you a picture and it just displayed no fancy slide show. I feel the slide show time indicator as well as the play and pause is what is causing the issues... it takes up like 1/4 of the screen if not more
I have this problem as well, and I don't think it's the same as what the others have posted about small mms sizes. I have tried enabling rotation for messages and albums app using BSB Tweaks, but it's a no go. Also, is anybody else having the same problem as me where an image mms file will play as a 10 second video clip when opening from messages?
EDIT: jvcjbl I think I am experiencing the same problem as you where it plays as a 10 second slide show. No clue how to fix this.
Pictures taken in PORTRAIT (with just holding the phone straight up) do not save EXIF data correctly, and are shared as LANDSCAPE when "Shared" to Messaging, Gmail, etc. This is ****ing embarrassing.
You can try out Camera 360. I love that app and use it as my default photo app, I have the paid version. It might resolve your issue. Since I have not gotten my phone yet I cannot test to see if it works.
Link to free version.

You sure it's not just your web browser, or Gmail? I haven't checked in a while, but Exif rotational data was rarely used in browsers in recent history. Try opening your photo using the new version of Picasa to see if it's rotated correctly.
No, it is still screwed up. Take a picture in portrait. Then click "Share" to Messaging, Gmail, Facebook, whatever. It will preview as a sideways (landscape) photo, thus looking stupid.
It does preview that way, have you confirmed it sends that way?
Picture related, my panorama shots do not work, I get panorama failed pop up

Yes, I've confirmed that it "shares" that way to Messaging, Gmail and Picasa, and of course Facebook.
Interestingly enough, the original Droid has this problem. It doesn't seem to bother anyone. This is a huge bummer. No idea how to fix this.
Also after taking a photo, and previewing it, the whole screen orientation is in Landscape, no matter what you do. Keyboard open, keyboard closed - all the same. That's frustrating as well. Anyone got any ideas or insight?
Try using a photo editor such as PicSay and rotating the picture into landscape. Then maybe when you send it, it will send the right way
That definitelyorks, although I prefer Photoshop Express. But that is an honest unecessary hassle.

Bugs the hell out of me.
As far as I can tell there is no portrait mode on the Epic - that's why all of the controls are locked to landscape mode and rotating the phone doesn't do shiz.
I really hope they fix this.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The EVO 4G used to be like that, but in the Froyo 2.2 update they made it so the controls will auto-orientate to portrait mode. But, when you used to take photos pre-Froyo, they would always rotate correctly.
I've been rotating my photos in Photoshop Express but holy **** it compresses the hell out of them, making them go from 1MB~ to almost 30kB. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe our Froyo update will fix the whole shebang. I really hope that Samsung didn't just frak me over with a crippled crappy phone that doesn't get bug fixes like they did with my Intrepid (the bastard child of Windows Mobile and Samsung) - Galaxy S is their flagship and they need to get on top of stuff.
I am not getting this issue. Can you give me the steps to duplicate it?
I pressed the camera button.
I took a portait picture.
I went into gallery.
I shared with both Picasa and emailed via gmail to myself.
In both it was displayed as Portait.
I noticed this last night. It's extremely annoying. Have to go on photoshop express as well.

Again, I am not getting this issue at all. Can someone detail how to duplicate it?
This could be a usage pattern thing. I detailed how I did it, and it works fine. What are you guys doing differently? If needed I can make a video showing that it works for me.

I am doing the exact same thing as what you're doing, and still getting pictures showing up as landscape, when they were taken with the phone held straight up.
Do you notice after you take a picture and click the PLAY button from the camera UI, the whole "preview" mode is in landscape?

No, in preview they are also correctly in Landscape. Perhaps you need to have the phone in portrait when you start the camera application?
Even while the camera app is loaded I took one picture in Landscape, then Portrait. Both displayed correctly in preview and after emailing.
I can feel your frustration though, that would be lame if it didn't do that. I will make a video tonight, not sure if it will help, but it might give you hope. As a last resort maybe you should try a hard reset back to defaults? I hate to recommend that, but it might work. Seeing as mine works and I have not tweaked anything camera related.
p.s. This might not be related, but I did not get the OTA patch after starting my phone, my GF's epic did. So my phone shipped already patched. I will test her camera tonight as well.
Settings > About Phone > Hardware Version = D700.0.5
my phone does the same thing and it annoys me A LOT
I have tried the Vibrant, Galaxy S, and Captivate camera software, none of which seem to work correctly when trying to send a picture or upload a picture I took in portrait mode, the picture always comes out sideways. Its odd because in the gallery, it shows the picture in portrait mode but as soon as I try to send it, it turns the picture sideways. Dont have this issue on my old iphone 3gs nor my G2. Strange thing is, the pics I uploaded from iphone onto my Vibrant, it correctly orients those if i try to upload them or send them. Looks like there is some sort of breakdown of communication between the camera software and the "share" portion. I find this pretty annoying as its such a small simple thing that should be fixed. Anyone got any ideas what to do? Is there a program to modify orientation so i can fix it before uploading or sending? Although the pics show up in the correct orientation in the gallery so not sure if that would help?
So nothing?

How about you rotate the pictures before doing anything with them??
LMAO xD
I agree with the OP and have always experienced the same issue. The suggestion that you rotate the pic before uploading is completely ridiculous. The reason we have the "share" function built into the gallery is to make things fast and convenient. Having to edit/rotate defeats the purpose.

exactly, cant wait to get rid of this phone, samsung couldnt even get a little feature like this right. Plus the pictures are also already correctly oriented in the gallery, so not sure if rotating would fix the problem?

even when the pics are taken within the facebook app, this still happens, so it might not just be a share issue from within the gallery.
anyone find anything on this? quite annoying..
I also noticed this, I wasn't sure whether I made a mistake with uploading or what
I've always had this problem too
Don't you think you are doing it wrong op?
you are supposed to take pictures in landscape mode.. not in portrait, the default is landscape even though it will let you take pics on portrt.. so best solution is to take pictures in landscape... is that too hard to do?
Even if you take a picture with the phone upside down.. your screen will always show you the upright view of the image so that you won't have to twist your head around while taking pictures side ways or upside down... gyroscope is it? But it will be saved on your gallery in the way you took the picture in...

but what if it's not a landscape-type picture, which is the issue here.. pics should be able to be taken, saved and uploaded in both landscape and portrait, or frikin sideways or upside-down if the user so chooses.

Umm you mean a vertical type picture? I think the landscape mode itself is the portrait aswell.. I tried taking a picture in landscape then sent it to myself as mms... i got the picture in the upright position.. then i took another picture in portrait.. i got the picture side ways.. although the image in camera was in upright position during portrait, the pic was still side way because ovbiously the phone was in side way position..
When the camera comes up, its set to landscape, even if you hold the phone normally for a portrait shot, the screen orientation doesn't change. No matter how we tried to take this picture, no matter what it looked like in the gallery, when it uploaded or sent, it was in landscape.
The camera doesn't work like it does on other Androids.

Hi
I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread with found bugs in the 2.3.3 software for the X10. Please report other bugs here.

Your camera does not work in Portrait mode?
Or you mean the menu does not rotate?
In my X10, camera DOES work in Portrait mode...
Even Upside down, it will work...
But the menu stay in Landscape mode only...
Why not just say the menu does not rotate...
Instead of saying camera does not work?
Is your camera stop taking picture in Portrait mode?
It might be a feature and not a bug...
bugs for me:
- unable to open any https webpage in any of the browsers (dolphin,stock,opera...)
- when going to m.facebook.com and clicking any external link it does not work,tried all the browsers
These 2 features used to work perfectly on 2.1
Yes, you are right. The menu of the camera is not rotating from landscape to potrait. for me it feels like a bug.

I don't have any issue accept RAM. Although it's low but the phone run smooth.
there's a similar thread here fyi
Ok, the camera menu seems like a bug.
continuing in that thread then. Thanks
I personally think this is a better thread with the bugs in the first post. I'll read the other One though. Not all issues in the other thread are bugs...
- ugly looking UI & apps,
- one way camera UI,
- music app much behind from Mediascape (o.k., equalizer, but the rest is crap)
- calendar like from stone age, useless
- not any connection between UI of stock apps, like they were doing a car from different company spare parts
- ...
I'm still on 2.1.B.0.1, rooted and JIT.

Im closing this cause there is already a 2.3.3 issues thread
