Google photos screensaver - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

Hi all!
I've setted up my S21 screensaver to display my Google photos images while wireless charging.
It works fine but pictures are displayed from the newer to the older. I'd like to set the order randomly but can't find a way.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

You are right. Google photo screen saver seems to use the straight/same order of the pictures everytime. You can use the photo frame, which seems to use random sequence.

MMS - Portrait Picture Rotation?

Hey guys, whenever i send a Picture Message from a photo taken in potrait, it always sends the picture sideways. ie, all my portrait pictures get rotated 90 degrees, and look as if they were in landscape. My wife has a nexus one, and this issue is non existent. I use chompSMS, but this issue is also present in the stock messaging app, and handcent. i have looked through all the settings, but cannot find what would seem to be the answer. Any help would much be appreciated thanks.
no one else has this issue? or cares lol. Its driving me insane
Crop it before you send it. Works on uploading to Facebook. You can select the full picture but just crop and save and when you upload it the picture will be facing the right way. Strange but true.
But why is this specific to this phone. The nexus one doesnt have this issue. Why would samsung make us go through all this work to send a lousy pic message in portrait mode!
My iphone didn't do it either. But we can only hope it will get fixed on an update.

My iphone 3g, 3gs both did it properly, on at&t and on t-mobile.
I don't have the phone but I suspect it's using the accelerometer to tell how your holding the phone and then automatically rotating it after taking the picture. It's a feature but one I'd like to believe you could turn off in the camera settings? Hope that helps.
I have noticed the same thing, but I have no idea how to "fix" although I suspect its the custom camera app
It's not the messaging app's problem. It's the camera. If you were to take a portait picture, then plug your phone into your computer and view the pictures, they would all be sideways.
It's a really stupid issue that should not exist.
it pisses me off too, if you go into the gallery the pictures are saved the right way but as soon as you send it, its incorrect
Anyone know if this will be resolved in the froyo update? or if there is a hack to fix this?
would his be fixed if I changed the stock to the captivate's camera? Or a different camera app

I have the issue with the stock messaging app in CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) on my Galaxy S2 (Hercules). I know that this is a thread for the Vibrant, but I am looking for solutions as well. I have found that Handcent properly displays pictures taken in portrait mode, but would prefer to use the stock messaging app as the Jelly Bean app has the pop-up/quick reply feature that I used Handcent for.

[Q] Does anyone have difficulty in using shootme or any other screenshot apps?

Hello there
I am a venue user from Korea.
Yesterday, I found a problem with screenshot apps.
I installed shootme and captured random shot, but the color of image is like negative, and tried another screen-capture app too, but the result was same.
I am not sure whether it is the problem of only for Korean venues or not.

did you use Shoot Me (screen grabber) ? I tried but the picture always red. Search in the market for screenshot (Gik soft) it's OK

I really appreciate your help. Screenshot does work!!
It uses same 'SU', but I don't know why it happens only some apps like shootme..
Just want to share with all of you...
I also installed Shootme and PicMe, but they didn't work as expected, the color tone was hell....
Thanks phucleo.
The SreenShot (Gik Soft) is working fine.
The graphics driver I guess, I gave up using app to capture screen, instead, I use the Android Screen Capture which is for Dalvik monitoring and debugging, so I only use the capture when the Venue is connected with USB.

[Q] Picture Orientation

I was wondering if there was any way to stop the camera app from being retarded and taking pictures in landscape mode. To see what I mean, take a few pics, email them to yourself, download them.
Guessing Samsung is trying to be fancy by using EXIF data to store the pics orientation. Thats cute but I need the photos to actually be in their original orientation, not a lil EXIF tag that says "oh yeah this should be switched around vertically".
Am rooted and would prefer to simply replace the Camera app as opposed to testing out tons of ROMs. This is a work phone so keeping it as vanilla as possible.
Hello, I got the same problem , i would like to know if you find a workaround ?
that's very annoying when sending MMS...

Try third party apps
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
it appears to work with third party apps like instagram , FX camera ...but not with camera ICS.
but none of this apps are as fast as the original photo app..
besides , the problem appears only when i send a photo by mail or MMS.
The gallery don't seem to use the exif data and the orientation is fine.

Before sending pics via mail, use any photo editor app to change the orientation.
Done

You can rotate the photo in the gallery but that don't change the exif data .3 party apps works and can rotate the photos but that's only a workaround and it is very slow .
The problem appears when i flash cyanogen CM9.1.0 because it seems that the ROM use the exif data with MMS or mail.
With stock samsung ICS , photo orientation was fine.
Im sorry but rotating images before sending is not an option. This is for work where photos are sent in batches of 5 and as many as 20-30 batches are sent everyday. Doing anything manually is simply not a feasible workaround.

[Q] Upload photo to Facebook

Hi all,
A couple of days ago I switched from Android to Windows Phone 8. So far I really like the OS and especially the Lumia 920. The build quality is superb compared to Android phones. I do have something to whine about. When I upload a photo to Facebook the quality is simply terrible. It has black bars above and under the image, but I think that has to do with the 16:9 aspect. I know that when you upload a picture there will be quality loss but the pictures that I uploaded looked like they were taken on a medieval phone.
If I change the aspect ratio to 4:3, will that get rid of the black bars?
Are you using the Facebook app or sharing from the Photos app?

just open the foto in your phone and open the bar from bottom. then click share and facebook
you can also have the phone upload to Facebook automatically if you like.

Dropbox photo auto-upload not working

I've recently installed Dropbox which I've used previously on a Galaxy S5 and had the photo upload set to immediately send pics or vids to my Dropbox account. However I just can't get it work on the Honor 7. I've checked everything I can including permissions, protected app settings etc but it just won't auto-upload.
Any help much appreciated.
***EDIT***
I seem to have fixed the issue. The setting to auto-upload within Dropbox was set to 'on'. I turned it to 'off' then to 'on' again and all of a sudden it started uploading all pics and vids it hadn't uploaded previously.
Hopefully this helps anyone similarly frustrated.
With my honor 7 i have the same problem.
This method works for one time only.
It doesn't do the work automatically if you have to switch button off then on manually its kind of boring...
Better solution someone ?

You're right. This is so frustrating as I'm taking photos every day. Would be interested to know if this was an issue with earlier ROM versions? I'd thought about going down the Google Drive/Photos option but tbh I don't trust Google at all and they always make something that could be so simple so unnecessarily over-complicated
