I recently encountered a strange behaviour on my TD2 when I did the following:
1. Open the camera app in landscape mode and shoot.
2. In the review screen, choose to mail the picture.
3. A page asking whether to send by MMS or email comes up. Choose email, while still holding the phone in landscape.
4. An email composition page appears briefly, then the screen switches to the camera.
There was no problem if I held the phone in portrait mode after shooting the picture. Do you have this problem on your TD2?
Hi,
so i tried following:
had the phone on today screen, turned the phone to landscape pressed the camera button, shot the picture (still in landscape) pushed the button to send the image, wrote the message and sent it to an address.
NO PROBLEMS AT ALL

Is there anyway to rotate a picture manually? i.e instead of having to tilt/turn the phone. Im having an issue where when i take a photo with the phone held sideways (to take wide shots) it never displays the correct way when i want to view them
If i take a wide shot, i then goto view it and it shows the wide shot when holding the phone normally (in portrait mode), and then turns it 90 degrees when i turn the phone sideways (when all i want is for it to show the picture as i took it when i turn the phone sideaways)

i use this for all programs instead of using software if you dont mind losing what button was already mapped to - go to start/ settings/ "buttons" and 2. assign program select "rotate screen"
ok, ive set one of the buttons to rotate screen....but what buttons do these actually relate to? these were all set to <context menu> beforehand, and it wouldnt let me leave until i had set each button as unique (therefore i couldnt leave them all as <context menu> any more
in my case it is mapped to the call button, I press and hold the call button.

I've had exactly the same problem, here's how I resolved it.
If you go to Start>Settings>Programs>Pictures & Videos and then select the picture that you need to change, then select Menu and then Edit and the left soft key will now say Rotate, just hit that until the pic is facing the way you want and click OK and it will save it in that orientation
yes, but how did you know it was the call button you were mapping? each line just says 'button' except for the last one which says button 1(hold)
it doesnt actually say what each button is for :s
and i want to find a way of rotating it correctly through the touchflo interface rather than have to go and change it manually each time
Hi guys,
I am currently using Gsen to get the SMS and EMAIL screens to display in Landscape mode, this way I find it easier to type using 2 thumbs on the full qwerty keyboard. Unfortunately it's not that good as it often reverts back to portrait and then quits the SMS or EMAIL screen if you happen to move the phone too much.
Therefore I would like to know if there is a regisry key somewhere I could change to get this 2 screens to display in Landscape mode by default.
Thanks.
Look what I found...........

Thanks, that's pretty close to what I need but it means you lose the use of the 'phone' button. Or does it only work witha long press?
Plus I would really like something which doesn't require any intervention.
But thanks again.
Just a little UP.
I am still struggling when using Gsen as it randomly gets back on portrait mode and kicks me out of the SMS app.
Is there a registry key which says if an app is displayed in landscape or portrait?
Cheers
Guys I am using Xperia Z1. It is completely stock. The problem is that whenever I press the home button the wallpaper gets zoomed up. After zooming up everything becomes normal. Then it doesnt zooms up when I press the home button. This happens even with the wallpapers that come pre installed. So please tell me guys what is the solution as this is really irritating. Everytime it gets zoomed up I have to reset the wallpaper. Hope to hear soon.
It appears if you have burst mode turned on, there is no way to take a single picture with the half -> full press button sequence. It automatically categorizes it as a burst, even if you only take one. This is annoying because you can't scroll through all images in the gallery. Anyone else experience this?

Why is this in Themes & Apps ??
Because the camera app is an "app"

Change it to another mode if you don't want it to take burst shots..
That's rather the point of that mode really..

You aren't understanding. There is different behavior. Using the soft button, you can take a single shot with a rapid press. You can also rapid press the hard button and get a single shot. Once you use the hardware button with a half press, you get a single shot but in a burst sub folder no matter how fast you press the button. Bug

I'm not sure that's a bug, bro. You turn on burst mode, all photos save in burst folder. Sounds like they probably intended that, unless I'm missing something....

Suggest you please move this thread to "Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"...
I don't think I can move threads. A mod is free to although you could argue either way for which forum this goes in.
The bug is undeniable. I didn't turn on "burst mode", I turned on "burst on long press" - HUGE difference. Behavior should be the same across different input methods. So pressing the soft button quickly focuses and shoots one normal shot in the gallery. Pressing the physical shutter quickly shoots one normal shot in the gallery. Pressing the physical shutter half way and then fully depressing shoots a single shot but "categorizes" it as a burst shot so even though there is only 1 picture, it shows the burst icon and has its own folder.
Understood your problem, same on my device. The thing is we only want a burst sequence when we press the shutter full for a longer time. If we press it full only once, it should make a normal photo. Thats what i would expect from this function.

Same for me. Have switched off the function. Shame as there doesn't seem to be another way to take a burst of photos. There's a "timeshift burst" photo app which is nice but it's not the same and only takes low res photos.
Hi, got my T5 recently and met with some strange and annoying problems with regards to orientation/rotation with apps such as Tradingview and Investing.com, which somehow insists the bottom side of the portrait mode be the side where the power button is located. Though I doubt the problem is with the apps. Anyone saw the same and have any solution/suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Homescreen rotation stuck on portrait mode.
Had a problem with the homescreen which stuck at portrait mode even the auto-rotate function was turned on (blue in task bar and on in screen settings). Was really annoying, suddenly all other apps rotate but not the home screen ?
Found out there is a dedicated setting for the home screen, hold your finger on the homescreen background for a couple of seconds and the screen will give you access to widgets, wallpapers and a setting button which leads to another homescreen setting which also have a auto-rotate switch. That was somehow turned off in my case. After switching it back on it works again. Apps and Homescreen rotation fixed.
