Actually I am baffled to find that when I tried the built-in camera app again this morning, it's preview had the *correct* orientation, no matter whether the keyboard was slid out or not and indiscriminate of in what physical orientation I started the camera app. I'm absolutely certain that I have earlier seen the 90 degree rotated (i.e. wrong) preview on my dev phone 1. So that relates to Jason Proctor's note in the other thread that the problem appeared unit dependent, only now it shows that even a single unit can show different results at different "times" (power cycles?). Looks like something gets initialized somewhat randomly at power up, perhaps even the camera hardware. In that case, to quote Jason "this would suggest that if i set rotation, it would fix some phones and break others".
Wonder what others are finding? Regards On Dec 21, 7:17 am, blindfold <[email protected]> wrote: > It is a known G1 bug.
