Hey guys, whenever i send a Picture Message from a photo taken in potrait, it always sends the picture sideways. ie, all my portrait pictures get rotated 90 degrees, and look as if they were in landscape. My wife has a nexus one, and this issue is non existent. I use chompSMS, but this issue is also present in the stock messaging app, and handcent. i have looked through all the settings, but cannot find what would seem to be the answer. Any help would much be appreciated thanks.
no one else has this issue? or cares lol. Its driving me insane
Crop it before you send it. Works on uploading to Facebook. You can select the full picture but just crop and save and when you upload it the picture will be facing the right way. Strange but true.
But why is this specific to this phone. The nexus one doesnt have this issue. Why would samsung make us go through all this work to send a lousy pic message in portrait mode!
My iphone didn't do it either. But we can only hope it will get fixed on an update.

My iphone 3g, 3gs both did it properly, on at&t and on t-mobile.
I don't have the phone but I suspect it's using the accelerometer to tell how your holding the phone and then automatically rotating it after taking the picture. It's a feature but one I'd like to believe you could turn off in the camera settings? Hope that helps.
I have noticed the same thing, but I have no idea how to "fix" although I suspect its the custom camera app
It's not the messaging app's problem. It's the camera. If you were to take a portait picture, then plug your phone into your computer and view the pictures, they would all be sideways.
It's a really stupid issue that should not exist.
it pisses me off too, if you go into the gallery the pictures are saved the right way but as soon as you send it, its incorrect
Anyone know if this will be resolved in the froyo update? or if there is a hack to fix this?
would his be fixed if I changed the stock to the captivate's camera? Or a different camera app

I have the issue with the stock messaging app in CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) on my Galaxy S2 (Hercules). I know that this is a thread for the Vibrant, but I am looking for solutions as well. I have found that Handcent properly displays pictures taken in portrait mode, but would prefer to use the stock messaging app as the Jelly Bean app has the pop-up/quick reply feature that I used Handcent for.

I was wondering if there was any way to stop the camera app from being retarded and taking pictures in landscape mode. To see what I mean, take a few pics, email them to yourself, download them.
Guessing Samsung is trying to be fancy by using EXIF data to store the pics orientation. Thats cute but I need the photos to actually be in their original orientation, not a lil EXIF tag that says "oh yeah this should be switched around vertically".
Am rooted and would prefer to simply replace the Camera app as opposed to testing out tons of ROMs. This is a work phone so keeping it as vanilla as possible.
Hello, I got the same problem , i would like to know if you find a workaround ?
that's very annoying when sending MMS...

Try third party apps
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
it appears to work with third party apps like instagram , FX camera ...but not with camera ICS.
but none of this apps are as fast as the original photo app..
besides , the problem appears only when i send a photo by mail or MMS.
The gallery don't seem to use the exif data and the orientation is fine.

Before sending pics via mail, use any photo editor app to change the orientation.
Done

You can rotate the photo in the gallery but that don't change the exif data .3 party apps works and can rotate the photos but that's only a workaround and it is very slow .
The problem appears when i flash cyanogen CM9.1.0 because it seems that the ROM use the exif data with MMS or mail.
With stock samsung ICS , photo orientation was fine.
Im sorry but rotating images before sending is not an option. This is for work where photos are sent in batches of 5 and as many as 20-30 batches are sent everyday. Doing anything manually is simply not a feasible workaround.
It gets really annoying that even when I get a single picture in a text, it plays it like a slideshow. Is there any fix for this, or any other way to disable it?
Aside from getting Handcent or GOSms that is.
Running CM9 btw.
Might want to post in the cm9 thread that you're using. It might be a bug with the rom that the developer could fix.
Nah, it's like that in every rom I've used. It's not a bug, its a "feature" of Android.

Not a feature in any android rom I've used. Never have I gotten a single pic come thru as a slideshow on stock messaging or handcent.
You can long press on the message and press on download attachments. Then you could watch the pictures full sized on the gallery without any forced slideshow. I know it doesnt really fix things, but it's the workaround I use.

happens to me when my wife sends me more than one picture thru her Iphone. Never gotten it more than one from any other phone before to tell the difference.

Yes that happens when its more than one picture for me as well, but OP is stating its a single (1) picture that shows as slideshow.

Everywhere I've seen, even for other phones as well, single pictures play back as slide shows for people, where you click the picture icon, and a play, next, and previous icon show up at the bottom.

That's strange cuz I click on the pic and it asks which viewer I want to use when opening.
Hey everyone, currently running AOKP's newest rom and I noticed I am again having the issue where multiple pictures in one MMS are viewing as a slideshow and not as individual pictures.
In the past (and based on my searching) it appears some ROMs have fixed this issue, but all the ones I could find were about 6 months to a year old. I am weary of flashing any of these as since the phone is now running ICS instead of GB, I don't want to mess anything up.
So, anyone know of a fix, or if an older version of mms.apk will work on ICS?
I'm hoping this is just something no one knows and I didn't ask a retarded question
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure that's a "feature" of the stock mms.apk. It was like that on stock GB too, and still is on stock ICS (the leaks and stock I9100 TW-ified ICS). Coming from an iPhone, it annoyed me too at first, but I got used to it eventually.
Uhhhh,
On my device running AOKP, I have multiple pictures received in one MMS conversation and when I tap on it to open, it opens just one, that one I tapped, not a slideshow. Don't know what happen to you.

When you say mms conversation are you referring to a single mms message with multiple pictures or a thread with multiple pictures? I ask because there's a difference.
With an iPhone you can include multiple pictures in a single mms. That shows as a slide show for me. If someone sends a single picture it shows like normal. 3 pictures in 3 separate mms show as normal too.

In bold, I meant the latter.
Anyway, with AOKP, I can't attach multiple "picture" in the same single mms but I can add a slideshow, which allows me to add more than one picture.
Again, it's on my Tx end, I don't know how the Rx end looks.
I've been looking for the same thing to remove the slideshow but no luck. Eventually gave up and went to Go SMS pro and have never looked back. Love every service of it and it doesn't display multiple photos as a slide show

I have been scouring the internet and various forums for an answer to this issue. I have been having some serious MMS compression on all of the AOSP ROMs I have used, namely Orca, LiquidSmooth and Carbon. This stands for any SMS app I use as well, even GO SMS where you can disable MMS compression and such. Is this a common issue, or is there perhaps something up with my phone and/or data connection? Any help on the subject would be appreciated, as sending screenshots make them illegible and pictures just look really pixelated and bad, it's quite annoying. Thanks in advance!
In go sms... Did you do into mms settings and check preserve image resolution? My images were horrible as well until I changed that. If it is not checked, go sms will resize it automatically.

Yeah, I have that checked, it still makes the images all blurry and grainy. I'm not sure what the issue is here. I may flash it back to stock and see if the problem persists there. I was just thinking maybe there is an issue with the AOSP SMS apps on the Note 2 or something, but no one seems to be having any issues with this as far as I can tell, as I haven't really been getting feedback. It may just be an isolated issue with me.
only other setting i can think of is in MMS setting (go sms)...changing the Maximum MMS size. i have mine set to 1.2M and can send screen shots with no issue.

Yeah, I've tried that already as well. I even changed it to the largest size possible in the Go SMS settings. Not sure what the problem is.
Edit: I do notice you are using Jelly Beans ROM. Are you using the AOSP SMS app as stock or the TW SMS app? Because as I stated before, I think it may be related to the AOSP SMS app on the Note 2 for some odd reason. I realize you are using GO as your SMS app, but what do you have installed as stock?
VZW will resize the image on the network side. You could send a 10MP image, but it would still arrive tiny on the other end. Don't think there is really anything you can do about it either.
I am on jelly Bean's Rom right now but was on asop prior and worked fine

Well I never had compression issues like this with my GNex at all. I'm at a loss ha ha.
Well, Messaging will compress the image to adhere to VZW's network side restrictions. You could change it so that messaging sends the full image, the AFAIK, the recipient still gets a crappy small image if it is oversized.
Some pictures come through as videos and some don't. It's really puzzling.
Stop me if I'm wrong but if you put 2 pictures in one text message it shows up as "video" and when you hit play it does a slide show between the two pictures. As oppose if you only have one picture in one text message it shows it as a picture text.
Does that make sense?

if one mms contain two or more images or more than one pages. it will display like video. play button would be show to you.
but only one image will not.:laugh:
We've tested it with one image and the same thing happens.
