I took the picture using S4 camera with the camera in upright (portrait)(holding the phone upright). This is how it looks when I am taking the picture http://i.imgur.com/carTaCy.png

After taking the picutre, in Gallery, when I view the picture (holding the phone upright), the picture appears in landscape mode with black bars. It looks like this http://i.imgur.com/FU9kyuw.png

So I need to rotate the image to make it look same like when I was taking the picture.

The black bar pictures happen sometimes, but some pictures do not have black bars and they are exactly as what I see during when I take the pictures, For example I took in portrait, when i view it is appear as portrait without black bars.

Not sure if my phone has something wrong?

My screen rotation is always turned on. By default the phone has screen rotation turned on since first day.

Only thing I can think is that sometimes, if the phone is held at just a slight angle, it will think you're in landscape when you're really in portrait.

I've had this problem from time to time as well and that's the only thing I can think of that caused it.

By what you're saying, it sounds like you're having the same results I've had and it's not ALWAYS happening, which leads me more too believe that it's an issue with how the phone's being held.

Once this has happened though, the only thing you can do is to rotate the pictures manually. After which, they'll appear the way you want them.

What angle are you talking about? That pic was taken facing a table (the camera was looking downwards)

If you are talking about portrait/landscape angle, I can say that the pic I took was in portrait because the word MODE (is upright) is in portrait http://i.imgur.com/carTaCy.png , but the image has black bars http://i.imgur.com/FU9kyuw.png , it seems like the result is random.

The word MODE will rotate if the phone is rotated.
