My girlfriend is using my old Samsung Focus S (I've switched to a Lumia 900 a little while ago). She's now telling me that when she takes pictures, they get taken normally, but then they immediately rotate to be upside down.
Any idea what could be causing that? I know the phone automatically rotates the pictures to be right-side-up if you took them a funny way... but why would it rotate them to be upside down? Could the sensor in the phone be messed up?
Thanks!

I have no solution, but would like to add that you aren't alone with this one... Third party processing apps seem to recognize orientation properly, so I'm thinking it could just be a problem with the WP gallery app.
What OS/firmware version is the phone?

I just got the sprint version of the HTC DIAMOND Sunday, and this is my first WM device. Warranty is still good as well.
My problems:
1)
When trying to take photos or videos, the zoom constantly moves in and out regardless of me not pressing a thing (For example, when i open the camera, the zoom constantly moves from 1.0-2.0x all on its on). I don't know if it suppose to do this or not, but i don't think so. The same thing goes for viewing pics and Opera as well, it zooms back and forth without me touching a thing.
2)
Sometimes it seems as if the "end" button or buttons on the right of the center button,doesn't respond well. I try to hold it down to lock my phone, but it takes several tries in order to this. Maybe its just me
3)
Iv'e read that the center button susppose to act like a scrolling mechanism, but i dont think mine does. Has this feature been disabled or something?
Its a nice phone, but i think mine has a couple of bugs. The zoom problem really annoys me, because i cant take pictures with the camera zooming in and out constantly. Please help..
When using opera Or the camera rotate your finger around the center button(stay on the outside of where it raises)
With the end button try to press it on the far bottom right(as far from the center as possible.
I think the center as a scrolling thing has to be enabled

Make sure when you are in the album or camera, your palm isn't covering the scrolling "ring" around the centre button, as this could be causing the zooming problem. If all else fails, hard reset.
Also, for the buttons to the right, make sure you are almost at or close to the edge of the diamond. if you are close to the center button, it may be acting as a "right click" (as the area to the right of the center "scrolling ring" is a "right" button).

thanks for the info, but when i say it zooms without me touching it, i meant that literally. For example, right now im looking at a pic in my phone. The phone is literally just laying on its back while I'm typing this message. Its constantly zooming in and out of the pic in real rapid movements. Could it be the screen protector that came with the phone? (But then again, it only happens when I load the camera/camcorder,search the web, or view pics) I have it on, but i didn't think that would be the cause. Anyone else encounter this problem? Maybe I should just do a hard reset, or maybe return it. IDK
Sorry to hear...
I have the screen protector on that came with the device, and mine is working fine. Try a hard reset, let me know if it works

Has anyone got problems with their camera not working?
I press the camera button and nothing happens, if I am in the camera app and press it, it focuses but then does nothing. No picture is taken. It is the same with this and video recorder.
I should point out that the button is not broken, it depresses, and the camera application reacts by beeping, but a photo is never taken (or a video for that matter)
I have an O2 Uk HD7. I'll call HTC soon, but thought Id start a thread to see if others have a similar prob.
LOL. Im an idiot.
The button is a 2 stage button, 1 for focus' and then harder for the actual photo.
BAH!
I take no shame in admitting I did the same thing
Oh good, im glad im not the only one We can blame the button being a bit too hard!
I did the same thing! And I'm aphotographer. The button is a bit hard and you have to press it all the way down for it to take ths pic. plus the button is on an angleed surface, you have to press it at an angle for it to work right.
It also wont work if the proximity sensor is activated, like when it's in your pocket
lol I did the same thing. For the life of me I could not figure out how to take a picture. But I eventually figured it out. Btw, when your phone is off just hold the camera button for a few seconds and the camera will come up. Pretty neat feature.
I had this issue too. The camera button is quite flush with the device. I've missed a couple of shots because of this. Not a big deal. Just have to get used to it. I'm just glad to have a dedicated camera button.
Yet another idiot calling!!!
Thanks guys, I had the same problem lastnight. So that's one hitch sorted..... Now for the ringtones!!!
Yeah. I'm no idiot (most of the time) and I have to say, it took me a few snaps to get it down and it's still a little difficult. Bottom line is the button doesn't make it real easy at all. In fact, it's a primary contributor to a few crappy shots I've taken.
same stupd user i was. finaly i got it - but the result in sharpness is big bad difference in relation to hd2.
I tried to take a quick pic of my parking place in a parking garage today, I'm a left-handed and I keep my phone in my left pant pocket, I was being rushed by my friends and tried to take a pic of the sign but I was blocking the proximity sensor. I realized this at the last moment and managed to snag a blurry shot as the elevator doors opened. I'll need some more time with this phone to get used to that.
But at least I don't have any pictures of the inside of my pockets.
I was on the phone with TMobile setting up a warranty exchange for my busted camera when I discovered this thread. Camera not busted luckily. Strange setup. Work around I noticed was holding the button softly then pressing power.

Well the camera is actually of not a very good quality. Some pictures are truly sharp but for that many things like light, angles and luck have to come together. And ofcourse the button adds to the miserable pics.
Hi guys,
Just got my IS in the mail (on a saturday thank you tnt)
Anybody noticed the extremely cool rotating buttons not working at the camera app.
Its kind of stupid because the setting buttons of the app itself DO rotate
Is it just me, or are you guys noticing the same thing? In all the other apps they work fine.
Cheers,
DaanJordaan
Correct, they don't.
Have to admit tho, I've been taking quite a few pictures last few days, and I hadn't even noticed this lol.
o noes a failing app/ IS, havent seen that in a while
Didn't noticed before indeed, kinda weird. Made me laugh a little
Rotating buttons
The buttons on my phone only rotate when the phone is turned anti-clockwise. Camera rotate doesn't work either.

Yep... Bad news for lefties
Hi folks,
Discovered a really funny quirk with my phone this morning... went to take a picture with the phone held horizontally this morning and the screen showed what the camera was seeing, but at a 90 degree angle so I had to tilt my head 90 degrees to see the image... thought that was strange so turned my phone around to portrait mode but the screen rotated as well so it was still sideways...
Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix?
Crap, wrong section. Sorry
Can someone move please?
Although wrong forum section, I experienced the same problem although it only happens when I start the camera using WidgetLocker.
My wifes phone wont rotate and I was readin an article that said using that code you can get to the test screen to see if all the sensors and what have you are working.
I tried to "dial" the numbers and when I do nothing happens any idea why? or are there certain steps/settings that need to be done to get it working?

I couldnt get it to work on mine either. Easy thing to do is just open your camera and see if everything/settings is upside down and side ways or open an app such as Onedrive or Maps (shake to send feed back in turned on) if the shake to feed back box pops up then its bad.
Took me about 1.5 hrs to get my replacement sent out. I guess its not that easy for an edge plan. Local store said they would not even order it unless i gave them my phone first. Thats a no go for me right now as im working out west and cant go without a phone for who knows how long. The girl that i ended up getting on the phone was awesome and got me one sent out quick, should be here tomorrow.
Thanks for the info, not sure why but the code works on her phone but will not screen rotate, my phone rotates but code does not work.
As far as shaking goes I did it on my phone and it shows up, how do I know there is an issue?
When I shake the phone it says you shook the phone what's the issue under maps.

No those shake to send feedback will pop up even if you dont even move your phone if the accelometer/screen rotation is broke. That's how i noticed my phone was screwed was trying to do the 100gb onedrive samsung thing and it would not let me dismiss the box.
It does not come up just sitting there.
But no rotation. I installed an app called clineometer and it goes from 68 degrees to 90 degrees, when tilting the phone. not 0 degrees to 90.
Time to call verizon.
I still would like to know why *#0*# does not work on my phone though.
