It couldn't be more obvious that I'm holding my phone in portrait mode, but damned if the camera doesn't always open in landscape . It's not a huge deal, I suppose, but it's sort of annoying to have to tilt the phone to the side and then back upright anytime I want to take a quick portrait pic.
Is this typical behavior for the One?
I can take screenshots if I'm not describing the issue clearly.

Scratch that. It always opens in landscape, but upon touching any button, the interface switches to portrait.
I don't know how I didn't notice this before. Guess I never thought to try it. Sorry folks!

That's not a default action. Do you have auto rotate off or something? My camera opens according to how I hold my phone.

No, I have auto rotate on and just calibrated the gyroscope last night. Same thing happens.

Rotate your phone in camera, the only things that rotate should be the camera buttons, 3 dot buttons, and zoe button. Let me know if those buttons rotate.

Mine does this too. Note that it's not the whole orientation that opens in landscape (images in the viewfinder are not flipped 90 degrees), it's just the icons that launch in landscape. Simply touching one of them, or rotating to landscape and back to portrait, will put them in the right orientation. I had this same issue when I ported Sense 4.1 to the Vivid, and I was able to find where the icons were being called to Landscape orientation on launch and changed it to SCREEN_ROTATION (thought looking at where the Sense 4.1 workaround was, I don't see the same in the Sense 5 camera's smali). Go figure when I got my One it did the same thing, so I went ahead and assumed it was by design :/ It's only aesthetically annoying though...taking a picture will still come out in the correct orientation

HTC probably intended them to be that way. You shouldn't have to touch them to have them rotate. Here's some screenshots of my camera.

Here's what we're saying..notice the icons. First one is when the camera initially opens in portrait, second is aft hitting a button while still in portrait, third is landscape

Ok I see, try resetting defaults in the app or try deleting data for the camera under settings in app section and see if it corrects your issue. Again mine rotates automaticlly.

Whenever I set a wallpaper on my tab, after rotating and going back to landscape the background goes blank on half the screen. If I then rotate to portrait and back it resets but it's getting very irritating when this happens. Anyone else getting this or have any idea how to cure it? I even tried turning auto rotate off but still no luck. I also tried other wallpaper apps like wizardrii. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue on a certain rom and kernel combo.. Not sure which it was cause I have re-flashed both since then..
thanks for quick reply, sorry should of stated my tab is totally standard touchwiz with no mods.
I'm in the same boat here... I thought I found a fix the other day. I just disabled the screen rotation so my screen stayed in landscape. Worked for about a day or so.
I don't know much on how Honeycomb handles setting wallpapers but i get the feeling it has something to do with that wierd crop function Honeycomb uses.
I use ADWex as my launcher and it still dose it.
I did notice that on my eVo4g (running Gingerbread 2.3.5, using ADWex) that when I turn my eVo from portrait to landscape the wallpaper doesn't resize or reposition its self near as nice as on Honeycomb(when it works like it's supposed to). So much so that I started just using an all black wallpaper.
Most likely its something that can be fixed with some kind of a matinace update. I haven't gottin around to rooting Tab yet to see if it happens on other rooms, and maybe I can get around to it next week.

My wallpaper stopped rotating even though I set it to auto. I flashed the ROM I was using without doing a factory reset first and it got it working again
I had this problem to. Try using Wallpapyrus or Live Multi Wallpaper(wich i use now).
Never had that problem nomore.
Loving my EVO LTE so far. Quick question on the camera button. I need to press my button very hard to get it to snap a picture. Is anyone else having this issue? Just wondering if it is a defect or if they are all like this. Thanks.
its a 2-button button. a 'soft press' (to the first resistance point) triggers focus, a 'hard press' (all the way down, past the first resistance point) takes the pic. its by design.
a 'long press' (holding down the camera button for 3 sec) will bring up the camera app if you are doing anything else, and a 'long press' while in the camera app will rapid-fire capture pics as long as you are holding it down.
Does everyone's camera make noise when snapping photos? I have no noise, and I have trouble knowing if my camera is rapid-firing or not.

Yours may be like mine, in that it seems like the button is not installed correctly. Mine has a distinguishable first stage, but I sort of need to mash it in to get to the second stage. I thought it was odd, but I knew it wasn't right when I tried out my wife's EVO LTE and hers has 2 clear, distinct stages, with no mashing in needed.
Mine is having rebooting issues anyway, so I'm hoping that my next EVO has the correct camera button press too.

I always have things on vibrate, but that's not considered silent mode I wouldn't think. Where can I change a setting that would make the camera make noise while my ring is set to vibrate?
nope. probably hidden. htc seems to have forgotten why Android better than iPhone and trying to dumb ics down to ios levels. options, apps,a ton of stuff is hidden or removed from this phone. try minimalistic text and look for camera settings or basic interface. I'll check around when home later
Isn't Minimalistic Text a clock widget app? I don't understand how this relates to the camera setting. What am I missing?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
no, it lets you make shortcuts and icons and widgets for anything possible on your phone. can see if it has any hidden camera settings menu built in anywhere
sorry, no camera settings. I did find a mirror app hidden though. I'll start a new thread about it

Its far, far from just a clock widget app. Its in my top 5 must download after flashing a new rom app.
I agree. I'd never heard of it til someone pointed me towards it to unhide polaris,(which you can do with es file explorer, another in my top 5) and I must say, its in my top 5 now too. so much you can do with this.
in fact, how do you use it for a clock widget?

i assume that you are wiping properly when flashing roms, so it could be that the top of the digitizer is malfunctioning. try the line drawing test from diag mode. open the dialer *#*#3424#*#*

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
this happened to me about a month ago... i realized that like the top quarter inch or something was not working.... to test, try going into messages, and then go landscape, and then try bringing the notifications down, if that works, then you have a bad digitizer =/
If you have Sprint Insurance, they'll fix it for free, if not, it'll be $50
so i figured starting a general thread for bugs and issues would be a better idea to consolidate everything into one thread!
I've got the Verizon G2, so it would be interesting to see if other carriers have the same issue. These are all, for the most part, software issues.
for me, its:
1.) Launcher Redraw.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpn-hZnEPqg (ending shows homescreen launcher lag too)
I've posted a video yesterday, and will be posting another today showing how after almost every app, the launcher is redrawing, and therefore causes lag if you goto switch screens after hitting home. doesn't always do it, but does for the majority of the time. it does it enough that it warranted me rooting the phone to try to fix it, so I'm going to give v6 supercharger a go soon and do the bulletproof launcher. I'm apprehensive though because we don't have recovery to make a nandroid...
2.) *solved*Lag on notification drop down on lock screen
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLWUXOu68d8
did you set your wallpaper to non scrolling? if you didn't know you can do this, you can. if you goto gallery and select a custom wallpaper, at the top it gives the option of non scroll or scroll, which is awesome. however, beware.. when you do non scroll, for some weird reason your notification drop down will lag in the home screen. setting it back to scrolling wallpaper alleviates this. very weird
3.) Audio during video recording.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU6Sp5V5Hv0 (also shown is the "breathing" auto focus we all experience.)
The audio during video recording uses noise cancelling mics, which can be good as we've seen in other flagship phones. however, on the g2, they sound identical to the htc rezound from 2011. that phone had really bad wishy washy underwater sounding audio when the source was remotely loud. the g2 does the same thing sadly. other phones, such as the htc dna (shows that htc learned their lesson..) and the gs3/gs4 do not have this issue.. hell, even the galaxy nexus didn't.
I'm hoping that once we get developers on it, they'll make a modified camera that can allow for either the reduction in gain from the microphones, or to be able to cancel the noise cancellation to stop the underwater sound. on the rezound, htc somewhat fixed it with the ics update. here's hoping LG will do the same.
4.) Speaker has built in limiter/compression.
this is most annoying because i like listening to music on the speaker. sounds good but the thing is its being compressed and limited at a certain level, so you don't actually hear the best quality of the song. for example if the drums get really loud, it compresses and limits them down to your volume level, which takes away intensity of the song and just doesn't make it sound even. hoping to find a setting to turn this off...
5.) screen brightness changes with Auto brightness off depending on what's on the screen.
video example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwkFhpiYbs&feature=youtu.be
this is that content adaptive brightness crap that they forced on the phone. it changes based on more whites or more blacks on the screen, then dims and brightens accordingly. it's incredibly annoying and there's currently no way to turn it off. in titanium i found an app called content adaptive back light and then i removed it.. it still does it.
what issues are you having with it?
Sent from my LG G2 using Tapatalk 4
my wallpaper doesn't scroll and when I pull the notification bar down I don't have any lag.
I'm gonna post the video when i get home from work. it does it every single time I have non scrolling on the stock launcher, and once I switch to scrolling, it's smooth again. remember, this is on the lockscreen.

Really? when i was playing with the verizon version. the homescreen/app drawer was still transparent with a wallpaper i had downloaded from goodfon.com. when you went to apps it went away. but kept at transparent on the ones i stated. i guess i'll find out tomorrow when my G2 arrives.

Yes this is unfortunate and unreliable. I wonder if an update can fix this. They may worried about it being too sensitve.
On another matter, my Verizon version is prone to turning on the camera or note pad when in my pocket via the rear buttons. Even prone to turning on the phone when sitting on a table off because of the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Not sure if it is just the verizon model or both.

Your pic shows status bar shaded darker. I see truly transparent on stock wallpaper. There is a slight shading on bottom soft keys, but otherwise transparent.
Another thing I see -- transparent forces soft keys to be white regardless of what you select.
I got intermittent distortion with my Icon HD bluetooth headset during calls. Doesnt matter if the phone is in my pocket or just sitting on a desk next to me. This didnt happen with any of my previous phones (S4, One, Nexus)
Lock Screen Camera App Image?
Is this supposed to happen? If I start a swipe to unlock, the camera app image goes away, but then comes back...
Is this a shortcut to the camera? Usually if I swipe from an app on the bottom that is my shortcut.
yeah man swipe to the left to bring up camera like on stock android.

Where is that located?!?!?!?!? I keep seeing the an icon on the task bar that is a box with an eye in the corner and generally the brightness changes when it comes on, but I can't find any info on the icon. I think it might be that, not sure.
The issue I notice is when I get a text and click on it to go to the convo about 25% of the time it goes to the top of the thread and not the bottom where the most recent text is.....

Is it possible using app like setting datebase editor to change setting to allow full 360 rotation on a non rooted/bootloader locked phone?
I'm currently using auto rotation app which can and is working fine, but I hate the fact it shows in notifications, (if you don't keep notifications system kills the app and won't fully rotate).
I have had a look at setting datedase editor but can't see anything directly but I as I'm not that tech knowledgeable I could be missing something in the app.
I have used this app to disable touch mode(when top sensor is coved by hand/case)
Any advice help much appreciated.

Could you give me a little more details.
I have it set to rotate but it doesn't rotate complete 360° unless I use rotation app.
Sorry I surely misunderstanding you.
On my side rotation didn't works on home screen but on app yes.
In fact I didn't test 360. It's more 90 then for me.
And home rotation works for samsung.
I did notice that if app is rotated in landscape and I'm going to home I can see that home is correctly rotated for less than one sec so it can works but Huawei is bugged or it's intentional.
On my mate 10 pro it was worked on first earlier firmware and was broken quickly after.
On mate 20 pro it's never worked.
On Nova launcher for ex it's works.
