Accurate would be too generous a term. The instant I set two fingers down to pinch zoom, the image already starts to float away.
Then, once I start spreading my fingers to zoom in, the image never zooms in on the part of the image between my fingers. It works perfectly in the browser, I just don't know why it doesn't work with the gallery.
Anyone else have this issue? I'd report it to the code.google.com website, but I can't find the exact link to the issues page.

When I set two fingers down to pinch zoom, nothing moves.
Zooming works very nice here.
I have noticed the same problem as OP on 2.2 FRF50

This problem was less prominent on the previous version of Gallery. Granted, it still wasn't perfect, but there was no drifting.
There are alternatives to the stock gallery on the market (some are based on the Eclair gallery). I would recommend gallery 3D, but it has some issues.

Not sure how many people have figured this out, but I thought I would share.
You will need the diamond sensor 2 (sensorsdk 4) and g-config. You will need this to remove a couple apps that don't play well rotated. Camera for one. Install these 2, and you are good to go. Hope this has helped someone.

This does not fix the auto rotation problem with Album 3. The view image still stucked at landscape regardless of the orientation. This seems to be a known problem with version 3. Anyone else confirm this?
I think this is how it is on the Topaz device also. The pictures are automatically rotated to "best fit". This is how I understood it worked.

I believe the fix is for zooming while in landscape mode, the picture will do a weird rotation while zooming. Album 3 automatically picks an orientation that best fits the picture, that is the way it was designed. I don't think that is something that could be changed.

I believe the image is clipped monentary while zooming and it returns to full screen in landscape mode. You need to enable the accelerometer to remedy to problem. Enable auto rotate from Mailina2 also worked for me.
Anyone else has any other idea?
I'm only talking about with google maps. And i cant remember if its always been like this; After you zoom in or zoom out there's an annoying adjustment it zooms further and it doesn't end up at the zoom level at which it was when you removed your fingers. I guess whats happening is that when u pinch the phone has to load the image that you zoomed too.
Sue me but my main comparison is with my friends stupid iPhone 3g. When I pinch, I remove my fingers and that's where it stays. Its like it loads the map and i zoom in or out whereas the nexus loads only the map at a certain focus and any adjustments require it to load that level. I dont know im sure thats a horrible description im just wondering if this is a general issue. My nexus is stock am I the only one?
edit: its not that i want an iphone its just that its a good example of how the app should work. Particularly since its a google app on a google phone
Shhhh.... don't mention Apple. You want to get sued?
I'm running the latest stock Froyo and I just noticed the same problem. It's almost like it has it's own pre-determined zoom levels and it just zooms out or in to whichever one is closer, not to the exact zoom level you pinched to.

I wanted to notify the Xoom community that I'm working with the author of this application using a unique method of actually making a video clip of what I'm doing with my Xoom so that he can actually watch and see how the device is reacting to his application.
Our results so far in 2 exchanges of e-mail have been to put it simply, outstanding.
First the product worked but with a few minor glitches, and I think that very soon he will update the market with something that is much more "Xoom Friendly".
The primary reason for me to post this thread is not just to let people know "hey there's a cool panorama app out there" but also to let you guys know that if you have an app or something that is not working just right on your Xoom you might be suprised by what a simple polite e-mail request gets you. If you're willing to put out the extra effort, you may even get faster than expected turn around
I purchased Photaf 3D Panorama to use on my Xoom last night. I really like the panorama pictures but for some reason I am forced to take the pictures manually. In “auto mode Photaf takes the first picture than after that I just get the right and left arrows and the second picture is never taken. If I run it in manual mode and just take a picture everytime the box around the thumbnail image turns green it works with no problems.
This is a cool app. I am surprise there is not more people interested in this.
Really cool, now that it have the ThunderBolt I missed that feature from the Fascinated. Thanks

I suspect that has to do with the dev tinkering with it to get it to work. Since I have an open dialog with him I will mention this.
OK we have everything working well in landscape but the dev is having a hard time with portrait I think it has to do with the compass while in portrait. Any developers have input on that?

Thanks for notifying the developer cwizardtx. I updated to the new version in the market today (2.6.3) but I am still having problems with the “Auto” mode. Before the red/green box at the bottom moved as I rotated the device allowing me to take pictures manually but since the update the box no longer moves correctly. The “Box” stays around the first picture then makes huge jumps, no longer moving in sync as I turn the Xoom. If anyone knows if a good screen shot / screen video taking program I will be happy to share my issue if it will help.

I have used this app just a little bit, but I am impressed. Even more impressed that the developer is reaching out to the user base. Kudos!

I have a version that may correct that issue but I think he may have already released it. Could you check that you are using version 2.6.4 for me?
Additionally: The only thing that functions "properly" is landscape mode. If you try to shoot anything in portrait mode you need to use manual mode for shooting only because the first shot never fires. We have been working back and forth on it and he feels like it has something to do with the accelerometer in the Tegra 2 chipset and is doing some research on it.
So to recap:
v2.6.4: - Landscape shooting should be working properly but portrait is only manual (and the auto-align preview box does not work at all in portrait, you have to wing it).
That all said - ALL functions work 100% properly on my Nexus One, so this is definately a device issue but we are working on it!
PS: I say "we" very loosely because I have no access to any source code or anything like that, I am simply making videos and screenshots and emailing him back and forth with testing and stuff as he sends me builds.

I suspect that all of us will have identical issues and successes if we're using the same version
If anyone happens to know any of the particulars in regards to handling landscape and portrait on the Xoom feel free to chime in.
I have the current market version 2.6.3
I have installed this on my evo also, works great on it.
I've subscribed to this thread, please post when he's got all the kinks worked out and it's XOOM optimized. I will definitely buy it then
v2.6.5 is released
What I see:
- Bigger buttons on the Xoom
- Automatic shooting in landscape is corrected
- Automatic shooting in portrait is not working properly and needs to be done manually

Tried this again today after the updates, wow, this is a nice app! Very easy to use. Auto mode works great! I am impressed.
Cool, I wish I knew more about coding and how the accelerometer worked to help the guy out.
Same here; did the update today and everything working good now. Thanks for your help Cwizardtx
The developer of Photaf 3D Panorama emailed me today, he finally got his hands on a honeycomb tablet (an Asus but if it fixes the app I dont care) and finally squashed the last really annoying bug: Automatic picture taking in portrait mode. Works like a champ now, compass orientation is fixed and the app rocks
Im using an LG G-Slate but since there is no G-Slate forum here and the Xoom is the most popular ill ask here. Is there a way to get apps to work in both landscape positions? As in, the landscape where the front camera is ontop and the landscape where it is on the bottom. I know iPad apps all do this, which makes folio cases great because you can have different angles using different positions and still see the app, but there are very few Android phone/tablet apps that do aside from google books, gmail and the like. Im thinking this may be an in-app thing but if it is possible to do from the tablets setting or something that would be great!
Prime examples of apps that do not work in both landscape positions: all angry birds apps, distraction, bakery/restraunt story, NETFLIX
netflix and angry birds are the two that i would like to see working the most
Thanks in advance!

This has been affecting me as well. I've search a couple times since I've had my xoom but I have never found a solution. The case I have forces me to use the xoom upside down (with the camera at the bottom) if I want to use it to type on a desk. Otherwise, it sits upright for video playing. If there is a way to force an application to always be landscape-upside-down, that would be perfect. I doubt there is such a solution, though. The app that is the most furious for me is the new Dolphin Pad app. The browser itself works in either position, rightside up or upside down, but when you select the settings menu, it forces it to be rightside up. I have tried setting the screen to auto-rotate as well as locking the screen in only upside-down. Unfortunately those couple applications always force the screen to be rightside up no matter what. Almost always it does it with applications that were designed for the phone. Most tablet applications work either way.
I was asking precisely because i have a case coming in the mail that forces me to do the same thing. Its pretty irritating that ill have to hold onto the tablet to type because at the vert. Angle its too high to type. Or i can use a bluetooth keyboard but thats a hassle. And for airplanes and cramped spaces itd be nice to have the low-angle option to watch videos

I never noticed this until now... was reading this thread in dolphin "upside down" just fine, but like you it forced me to flip to get into settings... all other functionality seems OK, so my guess is it is an app Dev fix and not a zoom fix. I haven't noticed this in other apps' but will test a few tonight for the OP and report back.

For me, it's mostly games that force me to turn the xoom around. It also happens with every single poker application I download. Like they are all conspiring against me.

Playing angry birds on a high angle would be difficult... its much better suited for a low angle. It works that way on ipad, why not android?

Anyone have any info? Now that i have the case thr number of apps that work seems even smaller than before...

When I wrote my game for a moment it worked in both landscape positions but then I broke it somehow. I think it is caused by using "landscape" instead of "horizontal" in layout or sth. Will be trying to fix it next week. But it also shows that it depends on the developer unfortunately. So you have to bugger him for every app that doesn't support it.
Man... i doubt any developer would listen to a single person asking for something like that haha it seems like too small an issue for many people to care

I've had this TF-701 K00C for a few years.... Laid it aside and forgot about it.
Now I am trying to resurrect it. I am trying to do a facebook live, but the video
will not position correctly. When I rotate the tablet, the video rotates in the wrong direction
so it always looks upside down? FB version is 206.0.0.36.105
I have screen shots of my software/hardware versions attached.
Ideas? And don't say trash can it!
Thanks,
Ray
Nevermind
Never mind. The auto-rotate was selected.
