Razr M Camera sending portrait pics sideways...Help!

[sonik]

Just wanted to add this tidbit. Oddly, the front facing camera does not suffer from the same sideways-sent-portrait problem.. that should help muddy the waters a bit, or help clear things up.. idk

To help convolute things, more findings. (Three photo types taken HDR, PORT & AUTO. Each taken "H" horizontally and "P" portriat.)

Phone gallery>details show only HDR_P.jpg(HDR-portriat) as rotation '90', others at '0'. Note: This is the only portriat photo that sends correctly.

Ubuntu image viewer>properties>details>image data>orientation shows all orientations as top-left except the photo PORT_P.jpg(Right-Top).

All photos show correctly in both galleries......!?!?!?

A. wtf?
B. Even if the galleries look at both strings of data, the android 'details' and the ubuntu 'properties'.. how are they determining AUTO_P.jpg should be displayed as a portriat?
C. Why then, if there's some secret orient data does android NOT know to simply use that to rewrite the incorrect data.. lol

I give up, hopefully this info will be helpful to someone in the programming dept if not google itself someday. lol

Yeah on some phones, they have. Mine is fine too. Don't know if I would've been happy if it wasn't.

Very nice desktop! I thought if you removed the Google search bar that you couldn't reclaim or use the screen space vacated by it. Yours appears to be in use.

If you don't mind commenting on that and how you got you desktop arranged that way, I would appreciate it.

Thx!

I use Nova Launcher so I have quite a bit of flexibility in my home screen but lose other things (no stock circle widget except what I download off play store). I think with the stock launcher you can't get rid of the google search bar from the home screen but you can on Nova.

Thank you for that information - because of it, I went out and bought an M today to replace my X. I have already installed Nova and love the phone so far.

Sorry for the thread highjack OP...

Yes, I am loving the M so far...and that is after coming from a Maxx (which had been my favorite Android). Have fun jet!
