Hey there...
So I have a bunch of pictures in various web folders and on the phone itself. For some reason when looking at them as of late in the Gallery app, some of my portrait pictures show up fine for half a second and then rotate themselves as though they are landscape. Not every portrait in the gallery does this. Original ones in the camera folder are fine. Can't see a way to rotate the pictures back in the preferences/settings and no edit option within the camera app on my T-Mo S3 either.
I tried deleting the Gallery's data file and rebuilding it to see if it fixed it but no luck.
Any suggestions/advice?

Anyone able to get the slideshow to work from your gallery? Mine tells me I need to choose at least two photos, lets me select them, then freezes. Anyone able to get it to work?
TIA
As long as you have photos in the gallery it should work. I've had at least 4 or 5 and I hit the slide show button it pops up and says display in Landscape and I normally click the box and it runs.
mine runs here no problems at all.
Hello
I've had a search but can't seem to find anything around this.
Is there an app, (or a way to make the stock gallery) that displaysFish photos in full screen? When swiping through the pictures, the pictures display in the middle of the screen (lot of 'black' all round) and yes I can tap to zoom, but I would prefer the pictures to fill the screen automatically as as each one is displayed.
I have had a look at Quickpic, Fishbowl and a couple of others but they seem the same. The pictures should have resolution that exceeds the Tab screen res. They were transferred to the tab via Kies (does that resize pics?)
Have found the cause. Keis. It resizes pictures on transfer. With darg and drop no issues.
When someone sends me an image over MMS, if I tap it to view it full screen, it is still using only half the screen and has player controls at the bottom. It appears to have a 5-second play time. I cannot zoom or view the picture in the Gallery app or any other photo-viewing app, and I can't zoom in or scroll. The only way I can actually view it as an image is if I long-press the image, save it, then open it from ES Explorer, Gallery or similar app. This is the case with all pictures sent to me over MMS and from all senders. How do I turn this off so that the MMS app sees it as an image and not a 5-second movie?
By the way, I noticed this was the case with my S3 as well, so maybe this is more related to the Samsung SMS app than the Note II. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix this issue, though I can confirm I have the same complaint about it. I have the feeling it has something to do with the Android text messaging app and how it handles attachments, and not so much how the Note 2 specifically handles them. I had this exact same issue with my Experia Play. It's an annoyance at worst to me, so I just ignore it, but if anyone knows of a workaround, I'd be glad to hear it!
This is a minor annoyance but sometimes I just want to open my camera app and browse photos while my phone is laying on my desk, but when I open the camera app it automatically goes landscape mode and I have to pick the phone up to get it back to portrait. Any body know of a way to cancel this auto-landscape feature in the camera app?
Edit: Just realized I could just go to the "photos" app directly and bypass the camera. This opens in portrait. But also adds another icon to my homescreen. I'd like to just use the camera icon for all of this, so still would like to hear any ideas anyone has
In settings > display and gestures do you have Auto rotation checked?
Mine opens in portrait.
I tried selecting pictures from Albums to contacts but for some reason when cropping the image, some images are automatically rotated sideways so the face is also rotated. One solution I did was to edit the photo and rotate it 360 again for the image to appear correctly. Is this a bug or is there an easier way to rotate the images when cropping?

This is the same with all Sony devices. What I did was transfer all my contacts to Google Gmail and do all my editing there via a computer.. You just have to make sure that google sync is enabled in your phone to get the updated contacts. Hope it makes sence.
Yes and remember that all the contacts pics get small when you sync. It's not bad quality they just appear in a small square. This is does not happen when you set them via phone, but they get this way as soon as you sync with googl contacts anyway...
I don't know if I should laugh or curse at Sony for this issue. The pics I wanted to use are all on my phone so it's easier to do it on the phone. I don't plan to put pictures on all my contacts so I will settle rotating the pics on the phone. The only hassle is you don't know which picture is rotated wrongly.
Well, that is not the only thing wrong with this phone...
