Re: Camera Storing some Photos Sideways

i've searched a lot of forums (sprintusers, xda, etc) including this one, and this is one of the VERY few threads i've found concerning this issue. anyone have any updated info?

i still cant figure out EXACTLY why it saves pix sometimes in portrait, sometimes in 'scape, BUT when i tested it by taking about 100 pix in a row, it seemed to be accelerometer influenced somehow. i say "somehow" because i couldnt make it perform how i wanted every time. i DID notice that the ONLY time it switched the save orientation from one pic to the next was when i moved the device in a way to influence the accelerometer. (i.e. if i kept the device perfectly still and shot about 10 pix, they'd all be saved same way...but if i moved camera in between shots, i noticed the orientation would be switched on some pix. and again, even when i moved the device in between every shot, orientation would only change for some of them)

anyone???
