I'm sure this has been asked before, but searching the forum for "picture orientation," "photo orientation," etc. yielded irrelevant results...so here goes. I have the S4 GPE. When I take pictures in portrait mode and view them in Gallery, pictures are properly rotated. If I move the picture to SD card, then gallery and other apps, such as ES file manager, show the picture with the incorrect orientation - i.e. everything is in landscape.
If I move the picture back to internal memory, the picture is correctly displayed in gallery once again. Emailing pictures to myself, both in portrait orientation, but one in SD card and the other in internal memory, both pictures are correctly displayed when viewed on the computer receiving the email. Obviously the rotation tag is properly recorded in the picture but Gallery and other apps don't seem able to read the tag correctly while the picture is in the SD card - looking under Details in Gallery show orientation 90 for pictures taken in portrait that are in internal memory and 0 for the same picture once it has been moved to SD card...any guesses/tips on how to correct this?

Hello
I have installed Gyrator to help with rotating photos in the albums. Im stuffed if I can sort it out. I find it strange that photos under album do not rotate. The only way to get them to rotate is open the pictures and videos tab but this means putting all my albums in the DCIM foler. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get Gyrator to rotate pictures opened under the albums tab.
Thanks
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.
While trying to view my pictures under the gallery it shows them as a video file, it will flash the picture on the screen and close.
When I browse in my Gallery it shows all the folders that I have locally as well as all my Google+ folders and on other devices I've been able to simply click on one of those images and set it as a Wallpaper. Now that I've got the GS4, I don't seem to be able to do this any longer and when I go through the Wallpaper settings to choose a picture it only allows me to use local images (same for contact images). Is there any way to change how this behaves?
Also, is there a fix for the weird treatment of landscape pictures (rotating them)?
Thanks.
Hello. Today when I wanted to open picture taken from camera I got pop up window asking me do I want to open that picture via Gallery or Photos (apps) when I've chosen Photos it asked me "Only this time" or "Always" I clicked Always. Now it's opening pictures from camera in Photos app. How to revert, to change to open it via Gallery? Because in Photos app the pictures aren't full screen and Hover option doesn't work in it.
