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.

I tried few different rom no luck either. thanks in advance.
Hi, this is not the proper forum to discuss this particular inquiry. Have you tried the search button?
You may try changescreen or G-Config

What version of Album did you cook into your ROM? If it's version 3.0, the behaviour has changed.
The Album menu options will rotate but the image will stay in it's original photographed rotation - i.e. portrait or landscape.
hilaireg.... Thank you very much... I was wondering why menu was rotating not tha pictures? Got the answer.
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
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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.
Hey all,
Ever since the ICS themed ROMs, I have noticed that whenever I open the stock camera on my phone, it will be in landscape mode even if I have auto-rotation turned off and have been using my phone in portrait orientation. I had this happen both on UnNamed and now on ICScreweD.
Kind of annoying to have to do the following steps every time I open the camera and realize it's sideways:
Close camera app
Pull down quick settings toolbar
Turn auto-rotation on
Open camera app
Take picture
Close camera app
Turn auto-rotation back off
Write way too many steps in the XDA thread on how to take a picture
I realize I can take the picture sideways and the phone will correct it in the gallery, but this just irks me. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Leker
What you describe is normal behavior. Sounds like you want an app like Tasker to control when auto-rotate is applied. Or Smart Auto-Rotate. Both can turn it on when camera is launched and turn it back off afterwards. Tasker can do a ton more too.
I have to ask though--only the little icons get rotated in portrait mode. Is it really that annoying?

I have the same issue, did you find a solution ?
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 noticed that I am unable to rotate the panorama feature to landscape mode... I have never had a phone unable to change the orientation of the panorama snapshot feature.
Try to replicate it like this: Rotate your phones orientation 180*, the camera buttons should rotate correctly. Now if you have the same issue as I, the panorama bar should stay in a vertical position.
They come out like crap if I take the panorama shot vertically, its center pivot point screws up the image versus it being in landscape mode to get a wider shot.
Anyone else experience this?
Auto-Brightness, FFC low light issues, and this issue are all making me decide against this phone.
Mine works fine.
Here's what it looks like. Portrait mode vs landscape mode. Pay attention to the camera buttons to distinguish between them.
Really weird bug.
When you first use the camera in Panorama mode, the phone flashes up a message saying you have to use the phone in portrait.
So it's not a bug, it's an intentional thing by LG. Why they do it is probably Reasons.
I've reflashed, reinstalled, and re-setup my phones so many times over the years. Must have glossed over the pop up at one point.

In landscape mode?
I'm using the h860 version and I also noticed this and I didn't read the pop up message that I can only use the panorama in portrait mode. That's fine with me, it can still produce the best panorama I've ever seen....
LG G6 Panorama
Yes. Why on earth did L.G. spoil a magnificent phone with this lack of thought. Not being able to take panoramas in landscape mode defeats the whole object of using the feature.
This and the discontinuance of the home screen instant call icons were a very bad change in the new phone that would otherwise have been close to perfect.
Also why did they discontinue the use of the colour changing L.E.D. on the new version.
