I have had this problem too, would love to see the solution!

 

Yes. I recall someone said if you crop the picture then upload it, it works.

I just upload then go into the facebook full site using my dolphin HD browser and pull up the picture there and rotate it. Not the best solution, but it works for the occasional time I need it.

 

As far as I know, that's the solution for now. Haven't tried cropping it first though.

 

I just rotate it on my phone first.

 

Strange. It has for me. Sorry about that. I'll have to try it a bit later to make sure I'm not imagining things.

 

I go into "edit" and rotate the photo there... not just rotating the phone physically.

 

i just always take my pics in landscape mode......what is so hard about that? I'm tired of seeing people in my news feed on FB with pics sideways.

 

that's what i meant lol

 

That doesn't work.

 

I've had this problem too. I tried rotating the picture and saving and uploading by no dice for me too.

 

No one is talking about widescreen. You brought that up.

People just want to take portrait oriented pictures and the uploaded rotated correctly on facebook.

Just like tropynuts suggested here, in another one of these threads, someone also said that you are only supposed to take pictures only in landscape. That's truly a ridiculous notion.

 

Nope. I have had that setting (8mp) set for a long time, but still have problems with uploading the pictures to fb. Definitely not what's going on here.

 

Well, just as with a 35mm film camera, if you rotate the camera 90

 

I just downloaded Adobe's "Photoshop Express". It allows me to rotate them there and then it will upload it to facebook for me. Pretty cool program. I downloaded for this purpose alone and it has been very useful for that purpose..

 

I have the same issue. When I upload via MMS to a friend, it is sent in landscape mode, rotated 90 degrees from the original picture. I take a LOT of pictures in portrait mode and this is annoying. I wonder if it has to do with the actual sms app that we are using?

I hate the SMS/MMS messaging options for Android... especially the ability to group chat with iphone users... and now I get to be the ass hole uploading sideways pictures... aaaah

 

I agree with everyone who said this is a simple thing and why can't they fix it. It is an Android system problem, I think, and not specific to any device because I have been looking for a solution for some time and it applies to Samsung and Motorola and I know my HTC Thunderbolt did the same thing.

I don't think we should have to edit something we took a picture of if we took it the way we wanted it. I make sure I have the camera like it is supposed to be and it flips itself around at will after the picture is taken. Today it uploaded some documents I photographed to Evernote upside-down. Naturally, I tried to turn the phone over thinking something had flipped out again and it didn't change the camera.

It does it on it's own. I can photograph 5 docs to the same upload in Evernote or Springpad or whatever and 2 of the 5 will be sideways. Sure, I can zoom in, but I cannot rotate it after I uploaded directly to a new note in Evernote. And it is a total pain in the butt because everything else is laid out so nicely when I play through a note that is entirely made of photographed documents. It pisses me off.

Android system people - please fix this!!!
