Every place I can turn rotation on is on. Will not rotate in apps or camera. All pics taken upright are upside down and I have to edit, rotate after the fact in gallery. Anyone have a suggestion?
I read fast charging caused it.

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...
By the default the front camera is rotated to the right by 90degree. I found a bug that you can do to rotate it back, not sure if everyone is aware of this already though or its an actual feature put in intentionally.
First, I'm running SlimBean 2.7 with the CM10 ffc patch and HoloLauncher.
Instruction: Put your phone in landscape mode. Launch Camera and switch it to the front camera mode. Press 'Back' once and it will rotate the image to upright angle. If you press Home and left the Camera in the ram, it will remain in the same angle when you relaunch the Camera.
However, this doesn't seem to effect face unlocking. Also if you're in Portrait mode it will not work.

I think I must have dropped my phone sometime and ruined the orientation sensor. When I open my camera, it is stuck in panoramic orientation. Toggling screen rotation has no effect whatsoever. On normal home screen, its set at portait and wont rotate. I've download apps that tell you about your sensors such as Android Sensor Box, and it shows that the sensors not responding whether i tilt or shake my phone. Anyone else heard of a problem like this?
Anyone else notice this issue.
When I use the phone normally. The auto brightness is fine.
But when I use the Camera, I might be in the middle of a Shot or Viewing a shot and it Dims and will not Go back to Bright even after touching lots of controls.
Not until I exit the Camera and Viewer does the screen go normal brightness again. It's driving me crazy.
If I shut auto brightness off it's fine. But I really want auto brightness.
I tried disabling "Auto Sleep" and it still does it.
Had that happen a few time looking at downloaded pictures (not with the camera yet) , I'd look at for a bit and if I handed my phone off to someone or it slipped out of my fingers when I was zooming on picture. It doesn't happen all the time though and I usually go and uncheck auto brightness when it guessing. Maybe the light sensor thinks the lighting has changed when it hasent then doesnt reset

Yeah something like that is going on. And yeah I think it's often (maybe always) when I'm viewing the picture I just snapped it dims.
If you go back to camera or other app it goes bright again. It's really weird.
I tried the Gallery and it dims "Normally" as it should and when you touch the screen it goes bright again.
But if you view the snapshot you just took from the little preview thumbnail button. It dims rather quickly and if you touch the screen it will not turn back to normal brightness.
I was looking at a screen shot when it happened to me, as soon as I touched the screen it dimmed and wouldn't go back. Now that I think about it I conditioned myself to un check auto brightness when I look at pics or videos.
My z5 compact rotates portrait pictures to landscape mode when posting then to Facebook, Instagram or Layout. Sharing them from Galleri or directly in the app makes no difference. Rotating a picture in Facebook, and when saved or/and accepted change it reverts back to landscape mode again. Shooting 20 mpx 16.9 in Auto. Tried turning Auto rotate on and off in settings, no change. Running stock. 152. Anyone else with this issue? Feels like a Sony bug as it happens in different apps...
Edit. With Gallery I meant Album app. Have Google Photo syncing my pics and the wrong rotation appears there to, but if I share pictures from Google Photo to Facebook corrections there works. Turning off the sync in Google Photo has no impact on the problem sharing from Album or directly in Facebook....
I have this problem too
Anybody else having that problem?
Yeah, having the same issue, but not every single picture taken exhibits the wrong orientation.
I did notice though that even though the UI elements in the camera rotate properly to portrait, the APP itself is in landscape. You can tell from the way the nav buttons are turned sideways when you swipe up from the bottom.
I've cleared the cache but it hasn't fixed it.
Turning on Auto-Rotate doesn't change anything either.
If any of you have a Sony Forum account, it's probably worth reporting.

Same issue here. Another not so wonderful thing about this camera.
