Is there a way to get all of the photos when viewing with the gallery to fill the screen without having to switch to landscape mode?
On my windows phone, using HTC's album viewer and scrolling thru the pics, they always were rotated the correct way as to fill the screen without having to rotate the phone, whether they were taken as portrait of landscape pictures.
This is a bit annoying.
Oh, and a second question, how about a way to make the gallery go into camera shots by default when I push the gallery shortcut.
Thanks all wise android gurus.
I want to be able to set a picture in portrait mode as my wallpaper without it turning into landscape mode. I see there is an option that lets the wallpaper not move when I switch screens but even after doing that, the picture is still only able to be set as landscape. (It's a picture from my gallery) I want the full picture on the screen without having to move screens or anything
HELP PLEASEEE
Never mind, I found out how and for any of you having the same question as well, download the app "Wallpaper set and save"
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?
Cheers

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,
I have a Nexus 7 16gb and have recently started getting a problem with the way photo's are displayed in the gallery. When holding the tablet in portrait orientation and viewing portrait oriented photos, they no longer display full screen, rather they get compressed into the landscape display size and lose their aspect ratio!?!
This didn't happen at first and I'm not sure why it's happening now. Any ideas?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Gareth
It seem that the G2 takes all pictures in landscape mode and uses exif data to tell the viewer to rotate the image if it was taken in portrait orientation. This is totally annoying especially for mms and for viewing thumbnails in outside viewers like windows.
Any solutions on how to actually have the stock camera take a picture in portrait mode and actually store the pixels as as a portrait?
Thanks.

Hope you can help.
