I can't find a reason about why this can't be possible. I want to know if there's a way to take landscape photos in portrait mode (holding the device vertical) on S3.
I was testing this program "Shot Control" it gives you some controllers in the screen, you have half of the screen to see the photo preview, considering the size of the S3 screen it was not a bad layout, but I'll love to have the same possibility holding the device in portrait (vertically) having the preview on top, controls down and taking pictures in landscape.
Is there a program to allow this?
I search over and I saw some solutions for iphone but pretty much nothing for us, here's a related topic:

Anyone?

There are some programs which allow users of HTC devices to specify what programs they want their G-Sensor working in. So they can specify that they do not want their titanium home screen to utilze the sensor.
The program will not work on the TG01 because it relies on the HTC G-Sensor driver. Is there a similiar program for the TG01?
Thanks!
I've not found anything that does this yet on the TG01 - the fact that the homescreen rotates is extremely annoying to me - especially as the wallpaper rotates too and then it tiles it - a very ugly effect. Wouldn't be soo bad if the interface rotated but left the wallpaper as it is.
For this reason i've disabled the G-sensor completely but i miss the functionality in other things, such as viewing photos and such.
Does anyone know a good way for the Tg01 to rotate without G-Sensor on-demand? Maybe by mapping a rotate function to the camera key?
Otherwise can the sensor be made less sensitive as 90% of the time when I pull the phone from my pocket it unlocks in landscape mode. Or rather it spends wasted time flicking between orientations so that I can't grab the unlock slider easily.
get a 800x800 wallpaper.....
ive you deactivated the g-sensor you can switch from portait to landscape etc with the vol. up key... just hold the button for 1-2 sec and the screen switch.
Perfect thank you! I either missed that in the manual or it wasn't in there.
There are a million threads on this; none of them have a "real" solution to this problem
there are those of us, who due to whatever reason (helmet cams, preference for posture, etc) want to record videos in portrait mode.
What happens (on my sgs2) is that the video records just fine in whatever resolution I pick... but it records it 90 degrees rotated to the right.
The solution that is usually offered is that "you can rotate it after!" yes... but then you have to CROP part of the image and lower the resolution. 1920 x 1080 recordings end up having to be cropped so that half of the view is cut out , or even more if you are maintaining a real aspect ratio.
The questions about "why not just hold it sideways", are just as pointless as the statement by steve jobs telling iphone4 users that they were holding their phones wrong.
is this something that can be remedied ? or has google decided that people should only record videos when their phones are in landscape mode?
i understand that we cant see landscape resolution in portrait mode; but can't we just have a viewport into the camera, but record in properly oriented landscape mode? so that playback on a computer will show the full resolution, even though we will only see part of it on the phone..
i think the iphone works this way?
as i have a severe case of self-diagnosed OCD. I do believe i am entitled to hold my phone vertically and take videos,plus its easier to hold with one hand
if and when i discover the answer i'll post it here.
maybe android 4.0 has solved the problem? I will investigate!
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.
Hi all,
Been testing the camera for the last few days. One thing that annoys me is that in auto mode with master AI active (I'm giving it a chance for now), if I try to take a quick shot of my kid, usually as he looks at me and I go to take the shot, master AI detects the face and puts the camera in portrait mode which result in the app hanging for like half a second while it switches to a blurred background and I often miss the shot because I can't take the picture in that hung state. Going in options to disable ai isn't quick enough.
For now, my workaround is to tap the pro mode when taking pictures of him.
I don't think it's doable but I tried to find a way to disable portait mode from the ai.. It could still recognize that people are in the shot without going for a blurred background (there is an easy button to tap right next to auto mode if I wanted a blurred background...) I'll probably need to suggest huawei to add an option to prevent portrait mode (first huawei phone I use, do they listen well to suggestions? I know updates aren't quick) but figured I'd ask here first in case someone has a better solution or maybe I'm the only one that the phone hangs while it switches to portrait mode using the ai?
Thanks!!
Phil
yes, i'm really annoy with portrait mode (AI changed automatically) it blurred the background too strong and look fake like cheap phone...
