Galaxy S6 :: Rotation Stuck In Normal View - Display Photo In Gallery On Landscape
May 25, 2015
I've read in the edge subforum, even my s6 flat has some problem when I try to view a photo in the gallery on landscape. It stuck in normal view. In other app (message,browser and others) it works fine? I've try wipe cache and wipe data gallery app but it still doesn't works.
When viewing photos, videos, websites, etc. my phone used to smoothly rotate the screen from portrait to landscape view (and vice versa) as a single "window". So as I'd tilt the phone and whatever I was viewing would remain on the screen and rotate with the phone. All smartphones have this effect so I hope I'm explaining it clearly. Now it doesn't have that rotating effect any more. I can still view things in portrait and landscape, but instead of rotating with the phone as I tilt it, whatever I'm looking at on the screen disappears from one view and reappears in the other. Although the functionality is still there, the look and feel and overall experience is diminished.
I've checked the settings and screen rotation is turned off. I've turned it on and off while rotating the screen and the problem remains. I've powered down my phone and removed the battery a bunch of times and nothing's changed. I even reset the phone in safe mode and that didn't work either. Is there another setting that turns this effect on and off? This problem just appeared out of the blue the other day.
I cannot view my text messages in the regular view, ie I have to turn my phone sideways to view the messages and to text. Software is up to date, this just came on randomly in the last week. Normally you can 'shake' the phone and the view angle changes. Won't work for texting, works for emails.....
Any idea how i can view my camera album via each month that i have taken pictures. In my old phone all photos in my gallery used to be stored in a folder under the month that it was taken
I have several pictures that I want to use for my wallpaper, that are not in my gallery. When I go to set wallpaper, the only choice for a place to look is my gallery. How do I get a picture out of drive, or my email , to my gallery?
I downloaded android version on samsung s5.can open app and sight with the leveling tools, then hold the middle button (menu), photo is not being dumped to gallery, instead i am getting popup of google "get now" card.
How can I edit/delete photo tags that I've created?There are now some duplicates, wrongly spelled etc., but just can't find their locations, or how to edit them?!
When i take photo's it displays them in the gallery ok but when I try to open them it just displays black with a grey box with a break through the middle of it
The gallery doesn't show all photo's which i've made...just a few photo's ( 30 ).When i am mannually searching in the DCIM folder using a file manager, i see 74 photo's....My S6 isn't rooted or something like that.
Yesterday I recorded a video and then when I tired to watch it, it wouldn't let me. The gallery app would freeze or it would come up blank. So I tired the video app and it played for like 2 seconds and freeze as well. I cleared the cache, forced the app to stop and I turned it off a bunch of times and still nothing.
Does the S6 Gallery app allow you to share/view your pics and videos on your DNLA TVs? I have a Sony TV with DNLA and I can currently share using the "screen" button at the top of the image/vid.
Not even sure if this is a Lollipop feature or a Samsung Gallery app thing. Assumed the latter as Quickpic doesn't allow this.
I have several hundred photos on my new S6 that came originally from my iPhone that show up fine in my gallery. When I open Google Photo, I only see very few pics, mostly what was taken with the S6 and what is on my Google Drive.
I have deleted a couple of albums from the Gallery...one with pictures taken with the phone. How can i recover these ?...not on cloud, etc...only in Gallery.
Whenever i take a snap on my camera, my phone is going straight into the photo gallery, which is very annoying when i want to keep taking pictures to get that right shot. The quality also seems very pixely, compared to another S5 when i held both up together.
When I click on a photo in gallery, it gives me several options, one of which is share via email. When I choose this the email opens and I can send, but the recipient, just get pages of code not the photo. If I create an email I can attach the photo and it sends. I also get this when i try to forward some photos i receive via email, they just receive code.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S-5, and after a Samsung software update (performed on February 13, 2015) all of my pictures in my Gallery under my camera tab have disappeared. I called Samsung and they had me search the phone in several places to look for the pictures with no luck. Has anyone lost pictures after an update? How to find my photos? I did not have auto-back up on, but I do now.
using latest firmware in my e55, i found out that the images which are taken horizontally (wide) is rotated "clockwise" ingallery when you want to view image vertical instead of horizontal which is not the desired. It must be rotated "anti-clockwise".
On all my previous Samsung Galaxy phones I could display my Picasa photos in the gallery, but I cannot work out how to do this with the S6 Edge (or even if it can be done)? I liked the feature because it meant I had access to all photos in 1 place... if this can be done on S6 Edge?
I have many photos in Picasa, sorted into many folders. On the S5, it displays all the picasa pics as one folder. On my S3 it displayed the folders individually. How to display the pics in folders?
Is it possible to use a normal micro hdmi to normal size one for viewing on tv? I see the Samsung one has to be ran off the power cable too or is this just for the official Samsung one?
I have seen some similar postings in the Droid forum, but thought I should pose the query here to see if anybody else is experiencing the same problem.When Orientation is checked in Settings... Display, the orientation of the screen switches from portrait to landscape with the rotation of the phone in most applications. When Orientation is unchecked in Settings... Display, the orientation of the screen remains fixed in portrait in most applications.Annoyingly, there are some exceptions to this. When disabled, there are some apps that STILL go to landscape view when there is minor jolting to the phone (e.g. when walking or cycling). They seem to be mapping-related apps such as Google Navigation, Google Maps, OpenSignalMaps and so on.
I dunno if it's just me but when I have my polarized sunglasses on and I use my device in the landscape view, I can't see the screen at all. It's like a privacy screen kinda thing when you look at it from the side.
I have an iPhone 4 and recently the phone quit going into landscape view when tipped on its side. My eyes are getting too old to read emails and web pages in the regular portrait view. I don't think any settings have been changed and I have installed the latest updates. What's up with this?
