When I take a picture and view it in the gallery, it's oriented normally -- the direction the picture was taken -- but when I send the pic as an SMS, the orientation is flipped. I've searched Google but haven't found anyone having this issue with the S8. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!!
No one else has this issue??
Just downloaded S8 pictures for the first time and all are upside down. I did some checking and found if picture is taken with button on left side they download upside down . Button on right is fine.

I haven't noticed this or came across this issue is probably because I take a photo with the button on the right side.
Strange. I didn't know having the button on a particular side mattered as the actual pictures don't seem to be upside down. Sending them (as MMS, email, etc) is when they are upside down.
Thanks for the input.
Has this been resolved. It just started happening for me. My wife sent a photo and it was upside down. I sent her 4 photos and 2 were upside down and 2 were correct. I have an 8+ and she has an 8. I took the photos landscape with the button on the right. Freak'n weird.

I almost never use the camera mode on my Trion, but last night I wanted to take some shots at a party. When I tried to turn on the flash the icon was gone from the screen. I tried the function list it has flash on/off but when I hit "on" nothing happens. Like I said I almost never use the camera, but I know it use to work. The only thing I did recently was add Hermes Tweek from fit4cat. I have tried soft reset, but I realy don't want to hard reset just for a stupid flash. I'm not the most tech savey guy, so I live in fear of bricking my phone every time I rom update. I like the way its set up now, so if it has no flash so be it.... But the pictures I could have had of last night.....Well, photo ops like that don't happen every day!!!

You probably know this but in case not - as you don't use camera often, the flah icon will vanish if the camera has slipped off straight picture mode into the mode where it takes a series of pictures. i.e if you look top left corner you should see a logo of a camera not three symbols of pictures lying on top of one another. I find mine constantly slips off straightforward picture mode because the jog wheel gets moved without noticing. The jog wheel cycles through all the different camera and video modes.

Nope its in single shot normal camera mode, but thanks for the tip on the scroll weel I did not know that. I think one reason I don't use the camera more is I hate using the styles when I'm taking a picture, so if you have anymore hardware button tricks you want to share.

Don't need stylus for camera. Start camera with button on side of case.
Take pictures with the Dpad button ie one in centre between the two phone buttons.
Accept the piture by pressing it again and your ready for the next picture.
Exit camera by pressing OK hard key button.
Mike
You are ok how ur now mate.....the flash is useless if not u want to use it for torch....even pictures taken from 5-6 feet away dont get any diffrence with flash on and off at night....though 1-2 feet picture will give you a lot of change...all white washed brighten up dude!!!!! i did took atlist 200+ picture with my tytn but i cant remember a picture which were benifited from the using of flash....
anyone any comment??
Night photos
Yup, Sajib, you're right - day photos pretty good, night photos rubbish. Flash 80% useless except for certain angles when taking night photos in macro. I have nothing I would need to photograph in macro in the dark but there maybe many who have!?
Mike
Well I guess I will just have to find my keys with the light of the screen, as that seems to be the only thing it good for. Thanks for the tips. Who knows mabey the flash will come back when I get up the guts to flash the Cingular rom.
i turn on the front camera, in landscape mode, i look at my self and i see my self correctly. i rotate the phone 90 degrees (portrait mode, upright), and i still see my self correctly. i rotate the phone 180 degrees from where i started and i still see myself correctly. i turn again 270 degrees from where i started and i still see my self correctly.
you would think that when i rotate my phone, i would see my self sideways? can someone explain this?
i dont have video call so i dont know how the other person would see me when i turn the phone from landscape mode to portrait.
LOL
Yeah, you should definitely send your phone to a service centre! It's malfunctioning, they should replace it under warranty.
Really now... I hope you're kidding. Right?
no im not kidding. im just a bit puzzle. i have another phone with a camera, and when i turn the phone, the image doesnt rotate and so i will see my self side ways.
i know its sounds weird and im just trying to figure out whats going on or if my logic is wrong. im sure its my logic but im trying to find the explanation.
the phone is turning. your not.
yeah i know that. im still trying to reason it on my own. as i mentioned, my other phone, when i point the camera at myself and rotate the phone, ill see my self sideways.
o lol wow
thats trippy i have no clue how that happens unless you take a picture
are you serious or just mocking me.

prehaps that phone had acceloremeter?
but no matter what, as long as you're still in camera mode(assuming you're still using front camera), and not viewing a picture, to which angle you turn your phone to, you'll still see yourself upright!
now now, but if you were to take a photo at which ever angle you specified at, and were to view it in landscape mode(90 degree normal view) you would see the picture NOT upright. it would appear at whatever degree you held your camera/phone at just now.
yeah i know it doesnt have an accelerometer. my reasoning is screwed but im just trying to see where i am going wrong.
i do know if that i do take a picture, it will be upside down or what ever way i had the camera. i just cant grasp my reasoning at the moment.

OMG,
can you PLEASE take a video of yourself starring into your phone and wondering why on the display you are not hanging from the ceiling
......................
There actually is a reason.
Xperia uses MIRRORED image when using front camera. Front camera acts like mirror .. you rise your right hand .. and the person on the picture will rise his left hand .. which is now on the right side.
But that is not how normally cameras work. Normally you would see your correct, not mirrored picture. If you rise your right hand, the person on the picture will too raise his right hand .. which is on the left side.
Also when you turn both normal camera & display 45 degrees .. the picture will turn 90 degrees compared to the subject. This can be really distracting and confusing when holding the device with both camera and display in your hands. And that is, I believe, the reason why Xperia (and some other similar device, I don't doubt) uses mirrored image. With that the angles does not add, but subtract .. and it acts just like a mirror.
If you have notebook with front camera, I suggest you experiment with it. Most probably the mirrored picture will not be the default, but there will be option to try it too.
If you still don't get it, take some written text, put it in front of you .. and use Xperia with front camera to read the text on the screen .. the use the second phone.
This thread is hilarious .
it not hilarious yet but it is starting to be.
lol highly amusing thread..
when you take a pic the aspect doesnt change, just where you are in it.
when the x1 is held portrait you fill the aspect, when held in landscape you dont.
this isnt a trick of the x1 its just elementary physics
think about when you take the photo in portrait it fills the screen, in landscape it still fills the screen but you appear to take up less of the space
what happens when you take a pic with keyboard open ?
im tempted to try now but dont want a punch in the ear frok the girl sitting behind me on the bus.. although i would have no objections to having a pic of her on my screen
Post of the year!
LOL this post made me laugh, great stuff.
But really, you look in a mirror and rotate it, why doesnt everythig in the mirror rotate with it?
baffled :/
Priceless.
Well the post still has it's value. Since some phones do not mirror the picture and yes, the picture really rotate (unlike mirror, unlike xperia).
Actually I have seen this for the first time, but then my experience with devices like this is minor.
I have the solution - send your phone to me to sell on ebay
So I was using my phone yesterday to take pictures of my computer. I tried on two occasions to touch and zoom in on an area (which worked fine) but as soon as I press the shutter button to take the picture, the phone would make a weird noise (seems to be coming from the lens?) then it just freezes. It eventually took the picture after the reset.
I have to hold my power button to get it to fully reset. Then this morning I noticed that my clock and date were all messed up.. set back to 1970 and time was reset.
Anyone else experienced this before? Nothing else is wrong with the phone but I'm not sure if this would be a software or hardware issue.
Thanks.
Yeah Ive had the camera app lock up a few times. Shutter button does nothing (didnt notice any sounds as I was outdoors), closing the camera app does not fix it, full restart is necesary but my clock worked fine at boot. Ive also had an issue where if you touch to focus and then swipe to see the gallery then the LED flash will stay lit indefinetly, forcing you to go back to the camera app and re-focus.
What rom / kernel are you guys using ?
Not sure if this is related but I've had the camera refuse to take pictures a lot, especially in low light - the camera cannot seem to focus so hitting the shutter button does nothing. I find switching to another mode (video for example) and then back again sometimes cures it. I've also had it lock up and leave the flash on. I'm surprised this got through testing as it seems quite a common issue from other N4 users I've spoken to.

+1 same problems here.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Same issue here too - just received mine 2 days ago and I sometimes need to change the camera to video mode then back to picture mode for it to be able to take pictures again.
Pure vanilla phone here, no custom kernels or any roms of any kind.. hell my phone isn't even rooted.. lol.
I've just started to notice that since I've been trying to take more pics with my phone lately.
And yes I've been seeing issues with the camera not wanting to take shots or focus properly either.
Same issues yesterday i was taking pics of my x-mas tree and gifts, suddenly the camera wouldn't focus anymore, had to restart the camera app, also auto focus is really not functioning too well... It can't seem to lock when focused on a subject...
Sent from my Nexus 4
Same

there's an update.
i have factory reset the cell phone.
still the same problem
I've recently purchased a Huwaei Nexus 6P. It's fantastic in every way including the camera... That is of course, when I can get the app to work. I use the camera to take pictures and occasionally video about 5% of the time. The app just hangs on the screen just before the viewfinder appears, and the only way to get the camera working again is to reboot the phone! It's incredibly frustrating, because everything about this phone is flawless! Anyone got any ideas?
you might have to take advantage of the warranty to get a replacement, if it persists, when i open the camera app on my Nexus 6P, i do not get that issue. however, i have only owned mine for less than 1 day. so we shall see....
BTW, i'm curious, does it still do that even if you double tap the power button when screen is off?
I've noticed that it only really does it when I come back from videoing something. It doesn't do it with the double tap the power button also, I don't think it's the handset, just the app I think
Mine acts a little wonky at times too. I tried to reproduce the issue you said you're having and can't get mine to do that, however mine does a few other weird things.
The camera on my phone takes a lot of double photos. I'll snap a pic and look through the photos quick and i'll see 2 of the same pic, but the google photos app only shows 1. If I delete that pic then both disappear from the camera app. I also get some pics that turn out as just a grey screen like the photo doesn't process completely. I've also had a few pics randomly disappear after closing the camera app. I'm really hoping it's just a buggy camera app.
I get the same issue as the op. But mine eventually says "cannot connect to camera" after 10 seconds or so.. Have factory reset a couple of times too..
Also my NFC of pictures from oneplus one doesn't work, 6p goes blank screen whenever I try to send...
Is there a way to take a picture while shooting video? If not, is there an app that you can recommend?
Unfortunately the camera situation is a bit beta-ish
