I just noticed this from my phone this morning as well. 2 of 15 pictures taken this weekend are like that.

 

Yes, it is incredibly frustrating. I tried updating my Twitter profile picture form my phone and even if I change the rotation before uploading, it doesn't help. I wish I knew what the cause was and how to fix!

 

I was surfing these forums and found a workaround: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-su...9788-uploading-pictures-facebook-rotated.html

basically, you have to crop the photo. But of course, you can just set the crop margins to the size of the photo...it does something ti the image then you can upload it in the orientation that you took the photo in.

It takes time, but it works...

 

Same here when I upload pics through Tapatalk. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes they come out sideways.

Very frustrating.

 

Try clearing your camera's cache. Go to settings > applications > camera make sure all at the top is selected.

 

I don't have any issues with Twitter or FB. It seems that they honor the EXIF Orientation field.

I do have issues when viewing the pictures in Windows Photo Gallery and when uploading to Meetup.

 

I too am having this issue. When taking pictures in portrait (vertical) they take correctly. When I view them in the gallery, they appear as I took them. When I click to share to any app, mms, or online, the images rotate 90 degrees left. I tested the same thing with the front camera, and those images do the same thing yet they rotate 90 degrees right. I'm not sure what has caused this, as it wasn't originally doing it. I have cleared the camera settings and to no avail. This appeared to be the only location I could find in searches that someone else had had the same issue. Hoping perhaps someone has had this issue and knows of a means to correct it without having to crop every photo.

Thanks

 

Just started today? WTF..

 

Me too. Really annoying. Any fixes? Always has done this. Only had it for a couple days.

 

Okay, I had this issue as well within less than a week of owning it. Tried pulling the battery, cleared cache, reset to factory and every other fix I could find online. The problem was intermittent. When I went to Verizon to show them, it magically was working again. The next time (2 days later and after a reset) I took it in and they ordered a new one for me. By then, the phone would flip to landscape upside down whenever I used dolphin or facebook. It was crazy. Perhaps unrelated, but iHeart radio would randomly start back up and play the last channel I listened to. Anyway, it wouldn't act right for more than a day. Got my new phone 5 days ago and it is working perfectly. Perhaps a bad batch with accelerometer issues.

 

Mine had done this from day 1 randomly. Some pics are fine, others are flipped 90 degrees, some 180 degrees.

 

I have the same issue lately..samsung support is crap...

is there any solution to this??

 

Did anyone ever find a fix for this? Happening to me and I am so annoyed by it. Tired of people asking me why I send sideways photos...ANYONE??

 

works fine for facebook, twitter put them all(portrait pictures) sideways

 

texting is the issue

 

can you eloborate

 

thanks this actually works, funny a few portrait pictures work without this work around but i guess if it screws up delete the tweet and edit the picture than re-tweet, ignoying but thanks for the workaround


doing some more tests it looks to work normal if you add it to twitter from the Gallery app (ie share via twitter) but if you are already in the twitter app and hit the upload picture icon it does the sideways thing

so i guess a good rule if you changing your profile picture or replying to a tweet with a picture crop it first, if you just sharing a photo to your own tweet just use the share via twitter option in the Gallery app

 

When you take a photo in portrait and add it to a text message, if puts it in the message in landscape, so people who receive it have to turn their head to see.

 

Any updates on this rotating picture issue? Really a lot of trouble to crop and then send. It also adds the cropped picture to my gallery.

Sorry i havent read thread but people used to iphone/BB take pics with the phone in portrate mode where if you think about it, Sony started us holding the phone like a real camera.

 

Any updates on this? My wife's S3 started auto-rotating MMS images today, even though it has worked fine for several months. Images shot landscape are fine, but portrait images are all rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise for some reason...

 

Think of your phone as a HD TV screen. That would be in landscape mode. This is how the camera thinks it should be. If you snap a portrait mode photo it's like you've turned your camera on the side and the image will end up rotated. I've learned to shoot everything now in landscape, using two hands and every single photo is oriented properly.
