[Q] Pics sent via MMS / Facebook don't include rotation information?

I'm having an odd problem that I haven't seen yet. I'm hoping I don't have a hardware issue. =(
When I send photos taken with my Nexus S via mms or upload directly to facebook, it seems like the rotation information is being stripped from the jpg.
I know the rotation information is properly embedded in the file because if I email the photo it is shown rotated properly wherever I view it...
It's not a show stopper, it's just annoying as heck. Has anyone else seen this phenomena? Is there a setting somewhere that maybe I fubared?
Thanks,
Ricky

I've seen it on MMS - don't use facebook. It is kind of annoying for MMS messages.

Any way to fix this problem? very annoying. Can't MMS or facebook a proper picture.

I'm seeing it too, even on CyanogenMod.

No it has not. its a software related isssue

I just noticed this as well... Pondering what it might be, also annoying as hell.

As far as I know, it's always been this way. It was on my Vibrant, anyhow. It would certainly be nice to get it fixed, but I think that's on the developers of the apps that use those pictures, unless it's a problem with the camera/gallery software somehow.

It's not on the developers at all. This never happened on the Nexus One with Facebook or MMS, so It's Samsung's bad because it happens on Galaxy S phones too.

Must be a camera/gallery firmware/software thing, then. :/

Lots of Re-boots :(

Just wondered how many people are experiencing hangs and reboots. I've had well over 10 and probably close to 20 since I received mine 2 Fridays ago. They mostly happen in the browser where video is present and or when trying to play a video from Facebook or twitter, but its not only limited to those. In fact, I've had less problems on my Xoom running Team EOS's custom ROMS.
A little disappointed. At least the reboot is quick :s

I've had one reset so far while using chrome on the day I got it. Using boat currently and have had no issues.

Quite a few people, including myself, have noticed this. Check out this thread:

not sure what you mean by pay the url, but i have not had the issue on other sites but to be honest i do very little on the phone so not sure i would notice anyway,

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042464&highlight=adobe+flash
Try installing flash and see if you are able to view the live feeds then. It worked when I tried it.

[Q] HBO GO! Working for you?

Mods if this is not the right place to post this I apologize in advance. I tried installing HBO GO on the Note 3 last night and it said the device was not supported. Is this because of root or is this normal for now? Anyone else use HBO GO that can confirm?

HBO knows of the issue and they have temporarily pulled the app listing for our phone model. Sorry I haven't heard any news of a fix coming but don't worry, it's not just you.

Anyone else having problems with KenKen Classic II on PH-1 with Android Pie?

Could someone who's running Android Pie on a PH-1 please try the KenKen Classic II app from the Play Store to see if it works properly?
It crashes every single time I launch the app and press "Play". I'm trying to pinpoint the problem. The devs say they haven't had any other reports like this from Android P users.
Thank you.

Mind if I bump this post? I'm going through KenKen withdrawal and am hoping that if some others are having the same problem, the KenKen devs can sort it out. Right now they same I'm the only user who's reported the problem, but since Android Pie isn't available on many models of phone, maybe the field is limited.

Thank you, johninsf. Could you please use the feedback option after a KenKen crash? That way they'd have at least two users with consistent crashing.
