I am new to the galaxy tab and very happy with it but found that on several programs like youtube and fuugo they don't work on each orientation
It is not possible to rotate youtube the full 360 degrees and viewing landscape is only possible with the camera at the top
Is this the standard behaviour of the tab or the programs? If so, is there a fix for this

Anyone who's had an Android tablet knows that a lot of poorly coded apps get flummoxed by the default 90 degree rotated, landscape orientation of the device.
Thus my question, is the sensor in the Nexus 7 rotated as well? Or is the default orientation set to portrait, the same as a phone?
Google "sensors-overview sensors-coords android" to find the relevant developer page. The specific orientation details are near the bottom: Sensor Coordinate System
"One Screen Turn Deserves Another" is an excellent article that explains the problem quite well.
If anyone who has a preview device could check to see what orientation the N7 uses, that'd be great. I'm hoping for portrait.

I'd assume it would be rotated since they're very intent on educating users on using a 7" tablet in portrait like a book.
Yea I'm gonna say that it's probably not in landscape since the whole UI is portrait based. Seems a bit counter productive to have to rotate the device every time you launch an app.

I'm fairly confident the sensors will be in portrait orientation by default, but confirmation would be nice.
The reason I ask is because my current Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 has the 90 degree offset sensor issue. 99% of the time it's fine. It boots up in portrait, apps launch in portrait (unless landscape only apps, which launch in landscape with no issues). Certain apps that are poorly coded and expect all devices to be portrait by default tend to do all sorts of odd things though. I've only run across a couple in the Play store, and one of those has been fixed.
The real problem lies with custom roms, as all of the ones I have tried default to the landscape sensor orientation (boot orientation when laid flat is landscape), rather than compensate for it (the stock Samsung rom is portrait by default when laid flat). This has led to all sorts of aggravating (and unintentionally hilarious) issues with the custom roms.
So hopefully Google thought this through and the N7 sensor orientation is portrait by default and basically acts like a large phone minus the phone bits.
On the Nexus 7 the gallery auto rotation of photo's is incorrect
i.e. landscape goes portrait and vice versa
They display fine on my Samsung Galaxy SII (source) and in the Google+ Photos from either any PC or the Galaxy SII
Is this a calibration issue? Or is there some other setting?

I am having this issue also. A portrait photo with the nexus held in portrait position auto rotates to fit across the screen in landscape view. This happens when auto rotate feature is both enabled and disabled. Any suggestions?
Exactly the same problem here. Photos taken on a Nexus S running Jelly Bean and uploaded via instant upload display in incorrect orientation (always over rotated by 90 degrees) in the Gallery on Nexus 7. They are in the correct orientation when viewed any other way including on the web via Picasa and on the Nexus 7 via 3rd party Picasa viewing apps. I really would prefer to use the stock Gallery app but this is so frustrating.....
Any solutions to this? Exact same issue and it is a real bother
very same problem here
If I take a landscape photo on my SGS II and have it "instant-uploaded", it will appear okay on my Nexus 7. If I take a portrait photo on the SGS2, the photo will appear in the right orientation for app. 0,1 sec, then gets rotated (falsely.) Then, if I email that falsely rotated photo to myself, the photo will appear in the email with correct orientation.
Btw in the Google Plus app both photos have the correct orientation, so it seems to be a Jelly Bean bug, not a Samsung bug.
Solution, anyone?
Same, but different....
I've got pretty much the same problem, but rather than actually rotating the picture so that it is in the wrong orientation, it keeps the correct orientation for portrait photos, but compresses them vertically into the same space that would be used for a landscape photo, thereby distorting the aspect ratio (hope that makes sense!). Same occurrences though, only in gallery, not G+, and only on this device and for portrait oriented photos uploaded via G+ instant upload.
It is driving me insane!
Same thing here except it doesn't do it to all the pics in my instant upload. Only some of them.
It's probably some Android bug as I have the same problem on my SGS2 with CM10 (JB). All photos look ok in the Gallery (although when I exit an opened portrait photo it turns 90 degree to the right in the animation. Very annoying as all portrait photos I post on G+ are wrongly oriented.
Galaxy S3 Same problem
Same problem with my Galaxy S3, i thought i was the only one with this problem, so its a relief to know I'm not the only one, its been months since this thread was created, and its still an ongoing problem, it would be nice to know if a fix is on the works, by the looks of it, it might be a bug with android not samsung, either way has anyone found a work around this?? or heard anything new on the issue
Hi
So I've noticed that when recording a video vertically and then turn it horizontally (or the other way around), in the play back it doesn't actually rotate the video and you have to rotate the screen to watch it.
Question is. Is there any way to fix the play back so u won't have to rotate the phone it self or any app to do that ?
Hi everybody, my experience with my s7 edge it's been amazing so far until I faced a problem with rotation . The phone rotation works great with system apps and some 3rd party apps (almost all apps but not including games) if I use for example gallery on landscape it will rotate to the direction that I want , but when I'm using a game , I tested more than 10 games that only work on landscape and the screen won't rotate , by default it's on the left orientation I find this very frustrating because I'm always listening music with headphone and I'm more comfortable using my phone on landscape on the right side orientation, any suggestions? Yes I have auto rotate enabled !

Hi there
Is it possible to have screen landscape rotation on only for videos? Except for videos I don't like it to accidentally happen anywhere else but right now seems I can't isolate for videos/ YouTube only.
Any idea?
