Hello All,
So I am running CM 7.0.3 and have the netflix app running through a friend whom gave me a special APK. When I load the application all of the pictures appear on the screen and I can load video and playback is great (even without the hardware acceleration, though the tablet gets a touch warm). The problem is the information such as names, length and short description do not appear. The application itself actually only appears in portait mode with the soft keys at the top.
I was hoping to find out if this is a restriction set by the CM system and if its modifiable. My Engadget, Joystick and a few other news apps act the same way and it would be fantastic to get it into landscape mode. I am also hoping that getting this into landscape may fix the issue with the netflix text display issues. Otherwise thankfully I can usually tell what I am watching from the picture, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Anyhow, If anyone knows if there's a way to change this please let me know and I would love to try it out.
Thanks!
Miles

Pictures or videos I take are not automatically rotated. If I attempt to share something on twitter taken in portrait it is always 90 degrees to the left. Videos are the same way when viewed on the computer. I'm running froyo and thought this functionality existed in eclair? Does anyone have a fix or does this bother anyone else?
In you're notification drop down bar, the toggle is there for auto rotation

Pictures and video when viewed on the phone are always in the correct orientation. It's only when I try and share pictures and video that the orientation is wrong.
Pictures and video are never in the correct orientation when trying to share them. Whether it is via twitter or MMS, they are always rotated incorrectly. Videos which are taken in portrait and imported to the computer are always played back titled in landscape unless I rotate and re-encode, them which is a giant pain in the ass and leads me to believe the phone isnt correctly saving the rotational EXIF data. My iphone 3g did this stuff automatically, it should be a basic feature.
So for example: I take a picture of a car then I press the picture icon in the lower right corner of the camera app, then the gallery app will show the car I've just taken up side down, or rotated clock-wise. What I have to do then is to rotate it left then right (or the other way) to get the picture in the correct orientation.
Has anyone had the same problem as I do? This and the homescreen keeps rebooting (due to lack of memory?) have been quite bugging me since I got the phone.
I'll be glad to hear if someone found a fix for these problems.
Try calibrating the gyro
Settings > Display > Gyroscope calibration
Do you think it could be the reason. Cause everything works fine for me, like video player, camera app, browsers...
Hmm, are you sure the camera was orientated correctly when you were taking the picture then? Because I remember this happening a few times on my old phone e.g. Phone orientated landscape when recording, then I record in portrait (yes I know this is a crime against society), then when you play it back it plays portrait in landscape mode and vice versa.

I'm having the same problem. Have you solved it?
I think the problem is that the S3 is using the value "rotation" in the exif, and the gallery act like this.
I tried to use the PC to donwload the photos and then I rotated it, and the problem was solved (The exif had changed too, because at the begining the size was wrong and had the "rotate value" to 90 and now i doesn't)
Thne problem is that the i9000 I think uses a diferent way of rename this exif option
It could be easier for samsung to change the resolution using the giroscopes values, and evaluate what is the with or what is the high
Hi,
i have a different rotation issue.
If i take pictures or videos in portrait format, the gallery on the phone will display everything correct, but every player in windows 7 doesn´t.
Why´s that?
thx, nearly
I have the same problem too
I think the problem is the way that the S3 makes the photos. It writes in the exif the size as if it where in horizontal way and writes 90 degrees as a coment. Maybe it is not a standard option, and maybe it the Galaxy S1 writes a more standarised coment (But now the S3 do not understand because the are using a diferent one)
So is there a fix for this?

I just found out, that the photos do alright if you use the normal 8mp setting. I had mine set to 16:9 and then rotation doesn't work on the PC.
For video, it just doesn't work. I just wonder what that greed out flipped-setting is supposed for.?

I just had the same thing happened to my s3,what i did was:
Turned off the phone
take the card out
backup the pictures to computer
add more pictures to backup folder in computer i got from different card (pictures taken with the same phone)
Add the new pictures to the 1st card
Now gallery shows pictures with wrong orientation, old ones and newly taken
I used a mac, there was an attempt made by iPhoto app to scan once the card is mounted but I don't think it modified anything
One thing i haven't looked into is if there's hidden indexing file being created in the card that throws off gallery.
If you have the fix please share.
Hi,
Several apps I have tried (maybe ~10% of them) only have portrait mode. This is a problem if you have a TV you can't rotate.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to write, say, a background service that detects if it's displaying in portrait mode, and then shrinks the screen view and flips it 90degrees (so essentially you have a portrait screen that is now the correct way up, with black screen on either side). You can't tell it to display in true landscape because that's hard-coded into the app, so it is better to just rotate the portrait display. However this is a hard thing to do as the screen display is very low-level... but does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish that?
I've done some searching, but of course Android has never really faced this problem before. Android has either been on a rotatable mobile device, or it's been on a GoogleTV where everything is landscape...
If so, that would open up more apps for Q-compatibility...
I've been searcing Play Store for an app that use motion detection by the front camera to wake up the screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 when someone enters the room, or is walking near the device. The Camera Trigger (Motion detect) app is one that looked promising, but unfortunately there is no trigger for activating the screen. I also looked at Tasker but there is as far as I can see currently no event available to use motion detected by camera to activate the screen.
The reason I would like this is because the Tab is used by my family to display the Google agenda/calendar for all family members and their activities. Instead of having to turn on the device it would be a cool hi-tech feature to automatically turn on the screen when someone walks in the room. I understand that using the camera for such a purpose would make the battery drain quicker, but that's ok as the Tab is alway in it's docking station with a power adapter. Also I'm not using the lock screen/there is no security as this is a Tablet used by the family.
Anyone?
Thx n brgds ToonWolf
I want the exact thing
Hi there,
I just wanted to say that i actually want the exact thing:
An app that turns on the screen, when motion is detected by the front facing camera
and turns it off again, if there hadn't been motion for a couple of seconds...
Have you found a solution / an app that can do that?
or anyone else here ?
I'm surprised / sad that it looks like there isn't an app for that...
Me too.
I am using a Gbox to display my security cams on a tv mounted up in the corner of the kitchen. Right now I have we turn on the TV with a remote when walking into the room, but it would be extremely sexy if it the screen woke when it detected motion and went to sleep after 10 mins or so.
Hello all,
This has been an issue since I got the pixel 6 at launch. When playing videos, the shadows appear washed out. It appears to be some sort of gamma shift or HDR tone mapping issue. This happens when in google photos, chrome browser, imgur, even other apps. (youtube is fine).
I've confirmed in person this happens to other pixels one of which was pixel 6 pro.
The issue is recorded here:
I tried changing the color setup under display options in system settings, turning off H265 in camera settings, booting into safe mode, forcing 60hz refresh rate, but it still washes out the videos.
This does not happen with videos shot by other phones, for example my wife's iPhone shot video then sent it over to me and the gamma shift does not happen...
Strange thing is, in Chrome while playing the video, as soon as I swipe up from the bottom to open the recent apps, the video jumps back to normal as seen here:

I reported this to google, and their chat support to me to fully nuke my phone to factory....
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and could other Pixel 6 users verify it's happening on their devices as well ?
Thank you

I seldom shoot video with phones and usually don't like to reference reviews. But from what you described Dxomark's summary about video performance is looking to be spot-on.
Google Pixel 6 Camera review: An outstanding performer in its segment - DXOMARK
The Google Pixel 6 camera displayed an outstanding performanc and is currently the best option for photographers who prefer smaller devices.

My experience with dark objects in still photos has been somewhat similar. Recently I couldn't get enough detail photographing black camera bodies I'm selling online. Even with direct light from a daylight LED lamp I ended up using night mode. Every speck of dust showed up which wasn't ideal either.
Over all, though, I like the Pixel 6 camera.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same issue... though it's not for every video, just in certain programs/websites.
Cheers.
I've been able to remedy this in chrome by turning off HW Overlays in Developer Options.
It's still an issue in Google Photos.

Sorry if I didin't understand it at first, the toggle to disable HW Overlays in the developer options will always turn off again, at least in Pixel 6, so that's what confused me

Huh it stays on on note 10 . In that case i am not shure how u can keep it on. Can u elaborate on when it turn itself off back again?
Weird, after I turn it on, I can go to any other screen on the phone, if I come back the toggle it´s off again, maybe it´s a bug on my end, here´s the example
