Pictures upload orientation issue

I tried to upload on Facebook a picture taken with my Nexus S but it seems that, when uploaded it has the wrong orientation (always horizontal, even if the pictutre has been taken vertically). Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Anyway to fix it?

There have been a couple threads on this including one i made, as of now there is no way to fix it. before you say the NS is a peice of crap, all SGS phones do it.
If you hold the phone in portrait mode and hit the menu button the menu comes up in landscape mode. the SGS phones only like it sideways

I'm glad im not the only one. Apparently this isnt just with FB but with any form of picture transfer when taken in portrait?
I hope theres a fix for this, I love this phone but that's annoying!

Ya, it does the same thing if you send an MMS

sucks that it has this problem, that annoyed me like crazy when i had a vibrant, my mt4g doesnt do this, just make sure to take all pics like a normal camera and you will be okay

It's a easy fix turn off and on your phone that's how I fix that issue

Get fixed with the update

Oh hell I thought it was a simple Nexus S issue but you guys say it happens on all Galaxy S phones
Well I hope that Google can at least correct it on the Nexus S with an update since it seems after 6 months Samsung hasn't. This is the one thing that is bugging the **** out of me with this phone.

Not really. Got the update tonight but nothing changed. I love my Nexus S but this is really pissing me off... Can't believe that Samsung has not fixed it yet.
@Eliteranger12 torn on and off ??? I did it several times but nothing changed

<SOLVED>[Help] Lost CRT screen-off Animation & Proximity Auto-Off

Well I just recently made the jump to Gingerbread and was really enjoying the little perk of the CRT screen animation.
Just lately though, I noticed that it had disappeared.
As well, I've been noticing that my phone does not automatically turn off when I put it up to my ear.
My first 4.5.91 flash I feel that I botched:
I had flashed Nottach's Darkside ROM (v1.3) and his Evoluer theme (v1.0) and I was trying to set up some of Droid Shogun's SwitchPro widgets and messed with a screen auto-off widget. I thought this was what caused the problem in the first flash and I eventually ended up wiping my phone (much deeper than I kinda planned, too).
I reflashed Darkside and Evoluer again and the problem reappeared. Though I remember testing the CRT & auto-off before I flashed the theme.
I just now flashed Nottach's uninstaller (found in the Evoluer thread) and it brought me back to the stock AT&T theme (no Darkside theming), but that did not solve the problem either (bring back CRT & auto off).
I'm asking a couple of questions here:
1) Is this a known problem? The animation and or Auto-off disappearing for some reason, whether it's theme flashing, flashing that particular theme (Evoluer), or something else (kernel problem, etc...)?
2) Is there something I could have done that is easily reversible (something I ticked/unticked in settings?). I will also add that I always do a little Spare Parts tinkering when first setting up my phone. Could that have altered anything?
3) What are my solutions? I could always reflash, but that is a true PITA. Help, please?
Thanks for any advice or input you guys have to offer. Also, please let me know if there's anything more I can divulge that would help in your diagnosis.
At this point,

In spare parts you most likely ticked faster window animations....put that to normal and crt anim should be back....uh not sure bout your proximity problem.

Me too bro.
Just out of curiosity, you didn't run into any other problem with spare parts, did you? I'm just kind of at a loss as to how it messed with the screen proximity off and want to make sure there aren't any other seemingly unrelated things it could break.
Also, where did you get yours? Is the Market version still being updated? I just want to make sure mine is up to date.

I'm using kens Alien ROM, its pre loaded. And no not really any problems. I Use it for compatibility mode and faster transitions, other than that I don't open it at all. I don't remember it messing with the sensor like that, I might have not noticed tho I didn't leave the fast window animations on for very long, but not so sure why it would bug out like that. Spare Parts shouldn't cause any other problems tho.

Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up.

Just a suggestion for CM7 on Epic"mtd" 4G....

Hello, I just have a suggestion for any of the phenomenal developers we have for the Epic 4g. I currently just flashed CM7 (stock>SRF>ACS ICS>CM7) and am definitely liking it A LOT lol! (now on nightly 11 to be precise). My sincere apologies if this has already been suggested, I hadn't seen this one yet and I do read the forums a lot. (Long time reader, first time poster!!)
So.... I know there is a lot of comments on the funky purple 90% battery charging notification light. Here's my two cents:
If the light is blue when it's fully charged (like on stock) and red when charging (also stock)... how perfect would it be to have the red charging notification light on CM7, then transition to purple at 90% charged, and then to blue at fully charged???
What do you guys think??!!?!
[EDIT] Wow I sound like a dork haha. "first time poster!!!" FTW haha!

I like that suggestion. But I don't have any issues with the charging light as-is, either. I'm gonna take a SWAG * and say that I doubt the devs will implement this, and I really doubt that one of 'em will jump in here and say "Golly, this sounds like a swell idea, jones75534! Consider it done!" But if I'm wrong (on either count, or even close), I think it'd be a neat little feature. I'll cross my fingers for ya!
* Sniper-talk for "Scientific Wild-Ass Guess." I was watching the History Channel earlier.

I guess a purple light every morning doesn't bother me, and why should it? Who gives a rats arse. How about the choppy video recording and uber slow web browsing? Those are bigger things for our sweet devs to tackle.

Completely agree (except get rid of the pink all together. Looks like a bug and unprofessional). I am aware, though, that cm7 works different when it comes to when the LED lights up, and what you and I want is more of want Samsung does on TouchWiz. And to be honest, I think that's better. It charges when red, full when blue. Simple.

Haha, good call my friend. You're probably right! In retrospect, probably should've directed the suggestion more towards custom MTD roms as opposed to official CM7.

I completely agree with you on the video recording. I actually have that issue too, its one of only 2 I issues I currently have with the rom. I just noticed that this had been discussed quite a bit and so I assumed it didn't warrant mentioning in this post.
My post was just an aesethetic suggestion on a ROM that is near flawless.

BTW, have you checked out Deca's thread on this yet?

I like these ideas. I say someone dev some mods for CM7. Not everybody likes CM7's defaults just like not everyone likes Samsung's defaults. I'm not saying push this into the CM7 tree but instead release some mods that are 3rd party unsupported. How about haptic feedback on our menu, home, back and search keys?

TouchPad Android Touchscreen Driver Development

Dees-Troy has been working on the drivers for the touchscreen. It has really improved the responsiveness on my touchpad. No more"jitters".

Will do. I just blew up my Touchpad trying out some camera libraries so once it is reloaded I will get this back on and get some good testing in.
Mental note: Grabbing random libraries from rootzwiki and putting them in your system folder is usually a recipe for trouble...but a good excuse to get upgraded to a new rom release
Edit: Ok, back in the game and on the latest CN release (0.1.0v2 ODEXED)
I am running Touchscreen Test now and so far it is tracking 10 points without any issues. Jittering and jumping that I saw before seem to have gone away and I am left with much smoother lines. Still jagged but smoother overall.
Typing on thumb keyboard is showing some improvements in accuracy and so far I have yet to get a double typed letter.
One mini-golf game I play alot does seem to be improved. I have not had the jumping issue that I use to have randomly.
So far no negative effects. Fruit Ninja is up next for testing

I have noticed that with this, my Touchpad no longer has a tendency to select something that is right above the area I touched.

V11 for CM9 had just been posted. No changes to touchscreen but code added that may save some battery life.
See op for link.

Sounds good, how does the screen react to let's.say moving icons or.widgets? In my current state it becomes rather less responsive when holding something down to move or organize .

Perfect timing. My only complaint so far was the decrease in battery life. Updating now.

Thanks, the TP seems more responsive
The TP seems more touch responsive. ..At times it seemed I had to hit an icon a number of times before the TP would respond. ..much better now! Thanks!

forgive the noob question here, but going to the link I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be looking for. Is there a zip file I should be flashing? A tutorial for finding the right files through github? What do I download?
Edit: nevermind. Helps if I read the directions.

Still having a double tap issue, but stability and accuracy are extremely better. Great job!
Do I need to reflash this after upgrades to CN ICS?

Random crashes after using Camera

Not sure if you guys have experienced this before as I didn't see any thread discussing it.
But this happened to me 3 times, after using the camera in low light and moving to gallery to preview the picture, Nexus 4 halts and reboots.
Not sure if this is related, but I can also hear the lens moving.
This happened on stock Rom and Kernel
And yesterday it happened again on Franco Kernel r34 and CM10
Attached is the kernel log, any recommendation?
Thanks,
Dani

Good to know I'm not the only one.
Did you capture the kernel log? I am intrested to see if the stack trace/exception are the same.
I hope it's not a hardware issue.

unfortunately no (i have no idea how you do that) but after some thinking im gonna assume it is software related
i mean it was just like you described moving between gallery and camera back and forth suddenly the device got stuck and had to rebooted i mean if it was hardware related why didnt it reboot or turn off immediately
