Any idea why the the first video I ever shot with my new S4 (first Android experience ever) today - played back perfectly fine on my new S4. But when I uploaded to Facebook, played back upside-down. (shot in landscape / horizontal mode). Is there a correct way to hold it, even though it recorded and played back fine on the phone?

LOL oooh it's Facebook's fault! That's why the 2nd of 2 videos now on FB are upside down. NEVER happened in the last 5 years on my iPhone. Weird. Hey where's that setting on FB because I should really fix that.
So, hello guys, I have the same problem, 4 video uploaded on Facebook and all upside down... any news or workaround? It's kinda of annoying...
Contact Facebook or switch to a different app, like Friendcaster

Hey guys I need your help,
Up until today I had this app was working fine, the only thing that I installed today and also uninstalled is coreplayer. Now the pic for the vids will not show up when I search for vids or have vids saved. Here's a screen shot...
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hmmm.. Having the same problem, but didn't know if Coreplayer was the problem. Anyone have any ideas?
Same Problem to me!
Yesterday i noticed that i have the same Problem.
(Only installed SPB3, but don't think that's the Problem)
yes i installed spb3 also and removed it i just did hard reset and did full back up and still have the same problem
Im having the same isue. Seems rather sudden. Also, im getting the feeling that the app isnt enabling all videos to be displayed. For instance when im looking for a certain music video that i would easily find on the youtube website isnt found on the app.
Videos will still play but the thumbnail pics wont show up, but in my saved videos tab pics show up prior to 2 days ago. Meaning the videos I saved a while ago shows up but if i try to save a new video the pic wont show up. How odd huh?
Same thing here.
I think this happened after i installed core player, not sure thought...
I'm thinking that this is actually a Youtube issue as I certainly didn't have this issue previously. Especially if it's happening after HR.

I just thought after Iinstalled coreplayer and sbp 3.0 it change some registry and couldnt change it even after hard reset. But I found something when searching for vids the thumbnail pics will not show up but if I click on the "i" icon to the right the picture will show up. There must be a fix and are you having the same problem?
I think its about time we get together to make our own youtube app. Im also kind of upset that im not recieveing the full video list. It seems like the videos i look for and know are on youtube arnt displayed on the app for some reason.
So anyone find a fix for this?
I believe that YouTube App shows only the videos which are available in High Quality and not Standard Quality as our PC does. That's why video lags too...
nobody has a fix for this?

I read somewhere it's cause by changes in youtube side and it affect HTC Youtube App v3. Older version (v2?) does work but you lose landscape view of the apps.
Hi!
I've lost my Facebook contacts thumbnails, and the ability to see any pictures on their albums.
And my two latest movies that's inside the foto album is not showing in the album view.
Anyone else got this on V1.43 ROM?

Facebook albums never worked for me with 1.43 and it doesn't work for me on 1.48 either.
It did for me until yesterday for some reason, AND my Album thumbnails is disapering from time to time...
What the hell, the phone is just a month old and already huge problems with this and that....
Since i started to tweak and mod my phone all kinds of problems accurs.
I'm getting a bit sick and tired of this phone... should have waited and kept an eye on what was written on XDA first.
But you can't always trust what you read, it can be a nob that can't handle the phone or a computer so i guess that would'nt had helped either.

Try t disable Sense, restart, go to file explorer, backup HTC Album cache from Application Data\HTC, delete the Album Cache and enable Sense.
I have now found out what causes both my problems:
The FaceBook issue was due to larger file cache tweak BsB, as soon as i turned that off my Facebook thumbs is back.
The video not showing in album was due to me changing to VGA, now i'm back to 320x240 and everything i film in that resolution is showing up in Album.
Hope this helps someone else as well.
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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.
