why are all of my camera pictures come out rotated 90 degrees?

so here's an interesting thing that I noticed.. all of my pictures are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Everything shows up on the phone (in the gallery app) and in google+ correctly (which is why it took me a while to realize this issue), but when I look at the actual jpgs, they are all rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Have you guys seen this before? How do I fix it?

original camera app?
auto screen orientation turned on?

original camera app (one built in to the n7100), screen orientation turned off. I prefer to use portrait mode for pictures.. and the pictures are always 90 degrees to the "right". what's funny is that picasa shows the pictures correctly. but windows photo viewer isn't, and file preview in windows isn't. when i export them to a non google service (such as QQ, a popular chinese instant messaging app), it's also showing up as rotated.
any ideas?

if u turn off the auto screen orientation, how can the note2 knows you want portrait or landscape.......

it's strange but google+, picasa somehow figures it out correctly.. *shrug* i'll try w/ the auto screen orientation on and see if that does it.

I thought this was a bug in android I found most of my pictures come out the correct way round as in the way I took them but occasionally the odd one will be rotated 90 degrees. This also used to happen with my note 1.

if you go in to the original stock camera app, if you click the cog on the top left, scroll down, there's a setting which says 'save as flipped'
if you click it, it should stop that from happening.

I always thought that was for the front camera

This option is disabled for me on my camera when I have the phone in landscape... And my photos are still flipped.

Gallery - picture rotate issue

Hello,
Recently I did a clean install of XenonHD 4.2.2 ROM,
I have an issue with the Gallery / Camera,
When I take a picture in portrait mode , then swipe to the left to see the picture on the gallery , It shows in landscape mode so I need to rotate manually,
The Auto Rotate is active on the phone,
Any ideas what could be the reason?
Thanks,

Does that happen with every single photo you take? If you're not holding the phone straight, then it's probably switching orientation, but that's not easily noticable from the camera app if you're just trying to take a quick shot.

Yes , with every picture,
Maybe I need to wipe and re-install the ROM and see what happens,
MY N4 works well with the same ROM , my Bro N4 has this issue,

Front camera taking reversed photos?

Anyone noticed the front camera takes reversed (mirrored) image? This is annoying especially if there are numbers in the background. Is there a fix? or can anyone suggest another camera app?
I'm also looking for one that takes vertical panorama pics. I tried Open camera and it doesn't have panorama. And Camera MX, but the quality is horrible.
Thanks!

Just turn off mirror in settings...

Ah... how silly of me. I was checking the setting while in the rear camera mode and never found a way to flip it. Thanks!

rear portrait doesn't provide blur effect on Gcam

Hi all,
I've installed GCam 5.1.018.177470874 recently. Front cam works perfectly at portrait mode. It gives that blur effect.
But the rear camera just zooms in takes the picture. There is no depth and blur effect. Is it normal on all GCam or should I be installing a different version? Please suggest me.

Working Google Camera for Snapdragon Note9 only!!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/themes/gcam-port-galaxy-s9-s9-t3763849. Instead of creating a new list of information, I'll just reference the link to my gcam port for the S9+ since the Note9 plus is pretty much the exact phone with a bigger screen.
See here for proof it works: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77463019&postcount=578.
Please read OP before asking all questions. This would not be possible if it wasn't for the great Savitar(@defcomg) and Fahmi(@fahmi182).

Did you try it? It didn't work for me, just freezes.. Also, no portrait working, that's the only feature I use in GCAM.

Please we need an exynos versiyon too

Installed on my Verizon Note 9. Works.

i got download the working version for Exynos version by using S9+ gcam~it works almost fully except front facing portrait. All HDR+ is working on rear but not front. AR Stickers is working also.

Why would you use it? Is it better?

Immediately presents "camera has stopped" and force closes on my t-mobile snapdragon note 9.

Portrait mode freezes and if any options are changed "disconnected from camera" error

Interesting... why would it wrk for some and not others

Portrait mode lags big time. Frame skip 3-5 second as soon as you move a tiny bit. Everything else seems to work. Lots of noise though. Any screenshot of the working settings so we can test and see if it's a setting conflict?

What about Exynos version?

Portrait mode is broken for ALL gcam mods! Noise is really normal if in low low light.. Set auto-correct exposure to times 8 or min iso but that requires a lot patience of being still so I suggest use a tripod.

Hey all.
Downloaded this from the above mentioned link.
Was a bit wonky with some controls, but worked for the most part.
Eventually uninstalled because it's just not worth messing with yet.
Check the attached pic for gcam (bottom) and note 9 stock cam (top).
All standard auto settings, just pointed and shot.
Meh to the gcam.

I like it

Here's some more tips I found online:
BUGS:
If you use Adaptive Display screen mode, then your pictures will appear messed up in the Gcam mod's gallery. In that case view them in the stock gallery app or something like Simple Gallery.
The front portrait mode viewfinder appears to refresh at about 0.5 frames per second, but despite the visual choppiness it absolutely does produce a portrait mode result as expected.
Here are the settings I adjusted to get functioning rear and front HDR+ On (or off), HDR+ Enhanced, and face retouching, and front cam Portrait mode:
Disable camera sounds
BSG Mod > Model > Pixel II
BSG Mod > enable Pixels auto-HDR+
Settings > Advanced > enable HDR+ control
BSG Mod > Final jpg quality HDR+ set to 100%
BSG Mod > enable Portrait mode on all models
Bonus settings that I tried that don't break things:
BSG Mod > Zoom in Portrait Mode Front camera set to 1.0(without zoom)
BSG Mod > Increase the detail of the HDR+ in the front..
BSG Mod > Minimal HDR+ smoothing (causes grainy pictures in low light, haven't checked with good lighting)

Got Portrait mode to work using your settings above phillydon04, thanks. And Portrait pix are considerably better than live focus on my Note 9.
But back camera still has a major lag taking pictures (takes like 3 or 4 seconds to take a picture and have the circle indicator go all the way around. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next update

I used this on my T-MOBILE N9 and it consistently freezes on the FFC. Removed and will use the regular camera and Camera FV-5.
Now the GCam port for the N8 works flawlessly. I use it on my 8 without one problem....well, sometimes my pics are upside down, but who cares...it works!

This worked for me, it took a couple tries though. The first couple attempts to install the app produced a black screen when trying to take a picture, video worked fine however. I had to keep force closing and deleting app data until I got the camera to work. When disabling camera sounds it sometimes went back to the black screen. The BSG mods also sometimes produced the black screen. After around a dozen attempts everything works perfectly.

Great

Working great for me!
