z1 camera orientation - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello there,
i just had an issue with an camera icon which stupidly was placed somehow underneath my dock at the homescreen.
i decided to try uninstalling the camera app so the shortcut would be removed, saved the app with titanium backup though in order to reinstall it via backup.
unfortunatelly the camera now has wrong orientation so when im in normal orientation it only shows half of the screen as if i would be in landscape mode.
i installed a camera app from google store to test if this would act normal but it doesnt as well.
any idea how to fix this ?
thanks

hey i fixed it by restoring philz backup , still would be interesting to know about the cause of this issue because i had this with my note 3 also until i flashed another rom.

Find an app that's can lock apps rotation and set it to landscape. I had the same problem

Same thing happen to me start last night, I tried few different camera app, works fine in google's camera app, word lens, but camera zoom is same problem as sony's camera app.
my guess is that one of the rotation function didn't able to call the position function, not able to reset or clear the memory,
is there a way to reset the camera app? I don't think restore backup will fix it, if the backup is already went bad.

either camera or gallery app broken? please help.:(

So i've been using my mytouch 3g fine the past few weeks with cyanogen mod 5 but recently i flashed cyanogen mod 6 and i didnt like the progress on it yet so i did complete system wipe and i restored my nandroid backup of cyanmod5. The problem i noticed was that when i turn on my camera app (the default one) it works fine until you take a picture. after the picture is taken there should be a little preview box with the picture on the top right hand corner but it's just black there and when i press it nothing happens. so then i put my sd card in my computer and the picture didnt save either. So i downloaded two other camera apps FxCamera and cameramagic and both of them forceclosed when trying to save. so i go into my gallery and it crashes without even giving me the message. So im guessing this problem has to do with the gallery app right? and if so how can i fix it?
help please?
Hmmm.... Haven't had any problems with mine. Have u tried wiping and reflashing?

Which version of cm5 are you using? The first roms of the cm5.0.7-test series had problems with the camara previews. Make sure you are using the latest cm5.0.8.
Also you don't need to wipe prior to a nandroid =p

[Q] some issues with my new note

got my brand new note yesterday, got a couple of issues though if anyone has any ideas.
the memo app doesn't seem to work, i get this error
the application s.memo (process com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo) has stopped unexpectedly.
the screen does not rotate into landscape when on the homepage, only when opening an app, and then not all apps. Very annoying.
When using my bluetooth headset, I can only make calls or use voice commands if I am logged into the phone. One the screen has timed out and turned off, I can no longer do anything, which rather defeats the point in a headset and voice control if I have to get the phone out and login anyway.
I installed the firmware update when prompted, but this did not change anything.
thanks
Well the rotate is because its down to the apps to have a rotated layout and some prevent it from happening including the home launcher however you could try a third party launcher which will allow this

I've seen a lot of people having troubles with their Note after they've bought it, such as FC's, slowdowns etc, as did I.
The easiest thing you can do is perform a Factory Reset (Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset) which will reset the firmware to it's original state, but won't delete any data on the SD card. Just make sure you export the contacts to SD card before doing this. That fixed the slowdown problem for me, as well as some FC's in apps.
As for the rotation thing, the TouchWiz does not rotate on landscape, and some apps just ain't programmed to work in that mode. You could download some other launchers from Google Play, like the poster above me said.

Camera app disappearing each reboot?

Okay guys so earlier today I tried to take a picture with my razr i but the camera button wasn´t working so I decided to enter from the launcher. I couldn´t find the camera icon (Im using a custom launcher but it is not in the hidden apps). Used pixlr express to take the picture and it reads "No camera application found. Your camera may be disabled". I checked and the camera is NOT disabled.
I had been using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206206 for a few months without any problems so I had a backup from MotCamera.apk and MotCamera.odex and if I move them to /system/app I can use it, but when I reboot it dissapears again!
any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

[Q] Zoe camera crashing

I'm running the latest stock rooted (2.16.651.4) and just tried to use the Zoe function in camera. It's the first time I've tried to use it since the update, and it's crashing the camera app left and right. When I switch from any other function to Zoe, crash. I bring camera back up, and it'll be in Zoe, but half of the time, it'll crash right away again. If it does stay up, it seems to work until I switch away and back again.
My question is, could anyone share the apk for camera (assuming it'll contain all of the functions including Zoe) so I can try to reload the app? Or if anyone knows of a different fix, I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks.

Try clearing the App Cache in the App Settings to reset the camera to the default settings.
Edit: Interestingly enough, my camera app crashes when I switch to Zoe, but without a crash alert (not sure if my custom Rom has blocked those). The difference is that u can open my camera into Zoe, and successfully capture Zoe images.
That's almost identical to my problem. No crash alert, the app just goes down. If, by stroke of luck, I can get it to run with Zoe, I can take images just fine. The problem shows back up when I try to use any other camera function then go back to Zoe.
I did get one error, systemui crashed and it was the report or not error, but that only happened once.
I cleared the cache, and while it doesn't crash 8 out of 10 times, it'll still go down like 4 out of 10. If I cleared the app data, would that smoke my pictures or anything?

No. It only clears the App data for the camera, making it as 8f you opened the camera for the first time, pop-up tips and all.
Well, I cleared the app data, and while it didn't completely fix things, it's definitely crashing less. If I last used the camera in Zoe, the next camera launch crashes, along with a random crash when switching from another function to Zoe. It certainly ain't perfect, it'll do for now I suppose.
