Camera questions (MMS and tapatalk issues) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hey guys,
Quick question/issue:
Coming from an iphone4 (and damn glad to be on android) I noticed no matter what way I took a picture for MMS it would always auto rotate it the direction I wanted it to. Meaning, if I took a picture with the phone in vert mode (How you would normally hold a phone) the picture is sideways when sending it. Kind of annoying as this is how I usually take quick pictures.
Is there some auto rotation setting that I am missing with this? Friends are getting annoyed with me sending sideways pictures lol.
thanks!

Ditto, I noticed this as well. Not sure how to fix it.

[Q] Any way to avoid "white-fade shutter"?

Hello everyone,
The camera app on my Leo worked fine till few days ago, when I started to experience a "white-fade shutter" when taking pictures.
It works as usual - picture gets taken, but it's kind of weird. It goes like this:
1) I point my camera at the object
2) Camera app does the auto-focus
3) I press the shutter button
4) Instead of taking photo and showing me the outcome, the entire screen fades into white and when the picture is taken, it fades back. (I have no way of knowing, how the picture looks)
Please help, is there some registry hack or fix to avoid this?
Thanks in advance,
Pete

[Q] Can anyone solve my really odd camera problem?

Okay... seems like a minor issue but it's driving me nuts. I have no idea how long it's been an issue. I just found out today when I needed to take some photos in a quiet setting.
As long as my "Capture Tone" setting in my camera app is checked (allowing the shutter sound) the camera works fine. But when I uncheck it (to silence the shutter sound), the camera will not take a photo. Just in case, I tried in all resolution settings.
When I uncheck that setting and then go touch the "shutter" button to take a photo, it acts like it is trying to take the picture, then makes a strange click that I can actually *feel* in my phone, then it just goes back to the live viewfinder view as if it's ready to take a photo without having taken the photo I just attempted to take!
Then if I go check the "Capture Tone" setting, everything works fine! Any ideas how to resolve this or what may have caused this issue?

That does seem odd. If you're bootloader unlocked with CWM, maybe give the droid 3 camera a shot. The checkbox worked, and took a silent picture for me..
the camera settings in build.prop can be modified, I believe they're towards the bottom. There is a setting for the shutter tone there, I would mess with that. make a backup first.
I dont have this prob on Alien#4, I disabled shutter sound on day one and have taken at least a hundred pics since. Before Alien I had experienced the strange internal click vibration you spoke of, but not since.

[Q] Camera picutres come out darker in gallery vs on screen?

Hey guys, I haven't seen this question asked outside of the CM7 Thread.
I have UnNamed 1.1.0 Which to my knowledge is identical to stock when it comes to the camera aspect.
When I'm taking a picture it will look great on screen but when I go review it in the gallery it looks almost twice as dark. Almost like the shutterspeed is too quick and wont let enough light in. Outdoors the problem isnt too persistent. Just indoors. I'm going to try another gallery app and see if that help but doubt it will. Anybody else notice this?
I was actually playing with the camera last night and noticed this.
Tried adjusting the ISO and exposure and it helped a little. I noticed that after viewing the picture though, it still turns out a few shades darker than it does in the live view. Not sure what thats about.
I'm seeing this issue as well. Any resolution?
I noticed this too, not only that but there is a slight delay from when you hit the shutter.
Seems like any movement screws up the picture as well.
I think the brightness discrepancy has to do with the screen brightness settings.... try setting your brightness way up, then take a photo and see if your exposure "gets darker".... it should be the same as how it looked when you took the photo...
I think when you take a photo, the camera app automatically brightens the screen to the Max... then when you go to review the photo, your screen brightness settings take over... since most of us use the phone NOT at the highest setting, it makes the exposure look dark....
The same theory goes for anyone editing photos... I always brighten my screen when I edit the photos...that way I'm not adjusting a photos exposure if it doesn't really need it... this needs more practice though as I don't edit often and could be wrong ...
If you're having lag in the shot... try turning off the anti shake option... you might think anti shake can ONLY be good but I find that my photos are fine without it.... but I also know to not try to take photos in dungeons...
Thanks ill try it

Snapchat camera orientation problem

Hi guys,
Searched aroud for a solution to this but nothing found. Using the Snapchat application, my S5830i's camera orientation is rotated 90 degrees, not matter which way round my phone is. It'll take a picture and appear to rotate it before sending, but I'm unsure if it's the right way round for the recipient.
Anybody else been dealing with this bug, or have any suggestions?
I'm running Excalibur 6.1.
Thanks

Landscape Camera not always working

The issue is that sometimes turning the phone to landscape orientation causes the viewscreen to black out. Switch back to portrait and it comes back. I can take a picture, I just can't see what I'm taking a picture of.
I have the CM11 camera, CameraZoom, and ProCapture. I think this issue is happening in all of them but I'll have to experiment more if someone thinks it is an app issue. This is frustrating because it is not consistently reproducible - it happens when I'm out somewhere trying to catch a picture! I haven't been able to reproduce it in my kitchen.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
