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.

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.
I'm using CM7 and everything works great other than when I take pictures (with stock or third party apps) my pictures are rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise from what they were shot at if I text them or upload them to windows. In gallery the pictures show up just fine and If I choose crop and re-save the picture it will correct the orientation issue. This is annoying and I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this.
I've searched the forums but I can only find one other mention of this with zero replies, so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Just a suggestion:
Maybe the EXIF data is broken.
There are (Windows) applications, such as Cam2PC, which read the EXIF data and can rotate the pictures according to the EXIF information while transferring them from the camera/smartphone to PC.
You may try it to see, if the EXIF data is still containing the right orientation information or not.
Good luck !
Hi,
all the photos and videos i take in portrait orientation are showing fine on the S3, but are tilted on my laptop regardless which program i use.
Thats annoying, my previous iphone and One X didn´t do that?
What can i do?
thx, nearly
Am I the only one?

I also have this problem, I'm pretty sure we all do.
Btw, in my case photos taken with 8MP portrait were also rotated on the PC. Pictures can be easily rotated back on windows, so it's not an issue. Videos are the real problem.
The reason, as far as I know, is poor handling of Samsung with portrait videos/pictures. Apparently, the S3 adds a metadata header of 90 degrees rotation, instead of really rotating the picture/video. Most video players on PC aren't aware of this header, hence the video is shown rotated.
I don't think Samsung will fix this, so there are two ways to workaround it:
1. Shoot video in landscape mode
2. Use an application to rotate the Video, then send it.
Is it gone with the recent Ota?

Hi all,
Having some issues with pictures being sideways in my camera album and with videos being turned sideways when trying to compress them to send by email. In the case of the pictures they will show sideways in the gallery thumbnails but will open right side up. I can't rotate them by hooking the phone up to my PC and accessing the SD Card through Windows (looks like I should have permission to modify but rotate is greyed out). Any of the photo editing apps I try on the phone itself show the pictures the right way up when I open them and even if I rotate it and try to save, they still stay the same way. I use the Ultimate Photo Widget and it always shows the pictures sideways and I would really like to fix them.
In regards to videos I am trying to get the same functionality as an iPhone where you can adjust the size before emailing. I have tried Video Compress, Video Shrink, Vidtrim and VidCon but they all seem to compress with varying degrees of success but it seems like no matter what I do the resulting videos have been turned sideways.
I am running Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.2 if that is helpful and greatly appreciate any insight you may be able to provide.
Thanks!

First specs: Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) running rooted with GPE ROM.
The issue occurs on every ROM I have tried, including TouchWiz, and its driving me and my friends INSANE.
I've attempted to look into this issue and I can't seem to find a good answer on this. Whenever I take a picture in portrait mode, the image rotates in the message to landscape mode. Not only that, but if I take an image holding the phone with the lens to the right the image appears upside down.
The image displays correctly in the gallery. However, if its transmitted in any capacity, it will always display upside down unless edited to display the correct way.
To make matters worse, if I take an image with flash, the camera will flash, show the adjusted "flashed image" for a second, and then immediately show me a different looking image, almost as if it was a "pre-flash" image. Many times, the image will look completely different on screen but when downloaded or transferred, it will look completely different. Lighting and all. In other words, the image on screen looks different than the image that was taken, making it almost impossible for me to tell what the image looks like until its transferred. Sometimes the image on screen looks better than the actual image taken, which is why it infuriates me so much.
Does anyone know what is causing this to occur and how to fix it?
I am just noticing this myself. Super annoying!! Anyone have any insight on this?

Nope, I posted this awhile ago and no one has responded to it but you.
I've found some mentioning of it being reported on the Galaxy S3 dealing with the hardware and then some excuse about fragmentation. There were comments regarding "well why are you taking pictures in portrait anyways?"
I hope that someone else has some more information than I do at the moment.
Usually when you take pictures the camera detects the orientation and physically rotates the image accordingly, as well as saving the orientation data as EXIF metadata. Samsung have apparently decided to only include orientation metadata and to NOT have the camera physically rotate the image--probably to give the camera better performance. Some apps are smart and will read the EXIF data to rotate the images correctly...most don't.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a hardware thing. Unless Samsung release a camera firmware upgrade with this enabled, or there's a way to force enable it through software, we're stuck using landscape or manually rotating.

I'm on stock TW (ME7)...I haven't noticed the rotation issues, but I definetly have the before/after issue where the picture looks different. It is super annoying and my wife always complains that my photos look too dark. I asked my question a little while back in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421173). I would love to know how to fix this!!

Can you do me a favor? Take a picture in portrait mode, then download Solid Explorer, browse to your camera storage directory, and tell me if the thumbnail for the image you took in portrait mode is correctly rotated?
Sure. Once taken in portrait, the "preview" image shows as landscape in the detailed list of files, however, upon opening the image in SE Image Viewer, it displays the picture in portrait correctly. I also have QuickPic and ES File Explorer installed. QuickPic shows the image in portrait correctly as well, but ES Image Browser shows the image rotated to landscape (incorrect).
Thanks. Since you were stock I was wondering if there was a camera firmware update problem for people who didn't take the official ME7 OTA. Looks like not.
