The camera often converts my shot, which is in landscape, to portrait. I've even forced it to landscape mode, but it still switches it to portrait. How do you fix this?
Are u sure your positioning your device correctly.

150% sure. Sometimes it converts my landscape shot upside down. To fix it, I have to use the camera upside down. When it converts my landscape shot to portrait, I'll try shooting in portrait mode, but it keeps my picture in portrait. It's completely screwed-up.

Has anyone else noticed that when viewing pictures in the Album application in TF3D2, that the Gsensor appears to have no effect? Landscape pics appear in Landscape mode, no matter how you hold the phone, upright or sideways, and portrait pics appear in Portrait mode even if you've tilted your phone sideways.
Or is it just me? It's a bit of a pain if you're holding your phone in one hand and want to see all your pics the right way up!
(I'm not referring to slideshows, by the way)
This is strange, I've noticed it to. I'd like the photo album to auto rotate - any tweaks that anyone can suggest?
And even Gyrator doesn't rotate when viewing a picture. When i'm viewing the whole set of pictures, it works, but as soon as i select one, it doesn't. Strange...
Just wondering, how is the device to know what the bottom of the picture is? The picture could have been taken landscape or portrait, depending on how you held the device when you made it. IMO it's the best solution to just display the picture best fit on the screen...

The device does know. In the tab for pictures, it displays all pictures in their right aspects. As it also does in the gallery. Just not when you click on the picture to bring it up.

You're right, it does! I never noticed that. Clever..

It must be stored in the file somewhere...
...anyway, getting back to the point. The Gsensor has absolutely no effect when viewing pictures. I cannot hold my phone upright and view a landscape image. This seems wrong to me - I'm 100% sure my old Touch Pro used the Gsensor to determine which way to display your pics - this seems like a big step backwards!
Mind you, it'll all be moot in September when Winmo 6.5 comes out - TF3D will be pretty much redundant :O)
any program that can help on photos rotation? thanks.
i get the same problem
i have used gyrator2 but it just can rotate the interface and 180 deg

i tried gyrator as well and it doesn't work maybe i dont know how to set it
Dosen't the Photoalbum rotate itself?I think it rotates but lets the pictures in their original position/rotation.
The buttons rotate, right? The old photoalbum did a better job^^
I found it to be a very annoying feature on the diamond1.
Sometimes you just want to see a pictuer from another angel, and the autorotation made that impossible.

Yes. The Exif information of the pictures contains generally the Focal length, shutter speed, iso, date & time, sometimes GPS coordinates (can be added later with software, and some new camera include GPS), and of course orientation of the picture : landscape or portrait. It stores even if it was 180° rotated in portrait or landscape.

I have searched and searched but can't find out why all the photos I transferred from my computer are blurry once I view them in landscape mode but when holding the phone in portrait mode, the photos look fine. I have to zoom in only a little bit in landscape mode and then they get sharp how they're supposed to look.
Please help!

Hi all, I've had this tablet for about 2 weeks now. Before I received it, I assumed that I would set up my home screens for landscape mode and go Tablet UI right away. But as time goes by I find myself using portrait mode a lot more, whether or not it be setting up my launcher or using apps (with the exception of watching videos, of course).
What do you prefer?

I use portrait mode for most thing but web browsing and videos. Its real nice having the option

Portrait is so much easier to type and see text with since there's more text listed than landscape. I also find it LOADS easier to type with my thumbs in portrait mode.
I'm finding the typing a lot easier as well with two thumbs and the ability to swipe as well.
I use landscape for videos, portrait for everything else
Portrait for almost everything except YouTube.
I am 50-50 so far. I like landscape for web surfing and videos, portrait for reading and replying to messages. I should find an alternative keyboard to make thumb typing a little easier.

Get on the SwiftKey Flow beta. It's great on this device in either mode. Just change it to separate thumb mode while in landscape.
I'm about 50 50. I like using landscape and with the 4.2 keyboard it's pretty easy to type... for me

With my iPad I use portrait all the time probably because its big and heavy but with my nexus 7 I use landscape for almost every thing. I think because its pretty small and I feel I get more on the screen that way, plus I get to see all of the wallpaper on my home screen too

Landscape 99% of the time here... I could never find any advantages of using it in portrait - folks say that it's easier to type, but the keyboard is much smaller in portrait mode, which makes it harder to type in my opinion (much easier to hit the wrong key by accident).
Very interesting that it seems most folks prefer portrait.
Of course my case caters to landscape mode too, so that may play a big part as to why I use landscape mode most of the time...

the problem in landscape mode is the navigation bar that the bar is always on front.
That reduces the screen and make it too small.
I would like to have the choice to put the navigation bar at the side in landscape mode.
Does it possible ?
I find in landscape you can't see much, when the keyboard pops up it takes most of the screen and is so hard to view and type at the same time.

I usually use apex (sometimes nova) launcher, when you keep it in landscape (or portrait) only, you can maximize the area available. But then youre not able to use the other way ...

the problem with apex is the portrait / lanscape compatibily.
you can have a big desktop on landscape but the icons will disappears when switching to the portrait mode.
That's very annoyoing and this fix should be a basic feature !!

Is there any launcher capable of having icons arranged differently in portrait and landscape modes?
90% portrait
Both

True, but N7 screen width in portrait mode is same size as ~4" phone landscape.
In landscape, I can't type comfortably, because I guess I have quite short fingers and my thumbs can't reach the keys in the middle of the screen.
I use it mostly in portrait (my homescreen is arranged for portrait), I also browse in portrait mostly, because of exact thing Apple was bashing N7 on their iPad mini release (those extra pixels on iPad mini) - there's too much stuff on top and bottom, making visual area small (in chrome you can't hide address bar, like on stock phone ICS browser (it hides automatically when you scroll down the web site).
I find it more comfortable to hold in portrait, and it's easier to read stuff too (books are portrait after all).
I use landscape for videos and games (and stupid new skype).

Both ways but I guess its in Portrait most often.
Whenever I switch to record video, the phone switches to landscape mode and I can't switch it back to portrait. Video I record holding phone in portrait orientation plays back sideways. It's it just me?
No, my phone exhibits the same, I think it's a limitation of the Sony video player.
I use QuickPic and then run the camera from within the app, it allows me to record video or still shots in either portrait or landscape then play them back in either mode with functional auto-rotate.
Hopefully Sony will update their video player to use auto-rotate, but more likely one of the talented developers from xda will produce a mod first.
Hope this helps

Use any other player, asd999 Xperia z player only support landscape

MX Player works great with HW decoding and have a screen button allowing you change the orientation. I hope Sony changes it in the next update to solve that problem.

Let me explain... The stock camera app supports only landscape video recording. You can use it in portrait mode but the video will be sideways. This is by design like all the cameras and phones.

Is it just me or my camera controls are always horizontal no matter the phone's orientation? I have to either focus somewhere or flip the phone to make it right.

The camera App has always started in the landscape position since I can remember back to the OG Evo no matter if the phone is held in portrait or not...If you ever take a photo in portrait that ends up in landscape you can simply rotate the photo in edit mode right from the gallery app
I have noticed this but if you hold in portrait mode and tap the screen to focus, it will kick it in portrait mode. The LTEVO was like that also.
