Seems to be with this forum or any forum in my experience, looks OK on your computer then upload it here and its on its side. I've rotated it onto it side then back again and saved it on the laptop and it seems to fix it. Bloody annoying though.

John, Take 1 photo with phone vertical how you would normally take a photo then turn the phone 180 deg and take the photo again then upload it here please.

Not really true gubigfish its not just forum based

Most modern cameras have a rotation sensor which writes an orientation EXIF tag into the photo file to tell your software how to turn the photo for display. However, there are some situations in which your photo will not be rotated properly and will display sideways. Some software does not utilize the orientation tag written by the camera.

When you upload photos online, "most" sites will also read the orientation EXIF tag and display the photos properly. In those cases where it does not, you can usually find a rotation button or icon to turn the photo to the proper orientation without having to correct the rotation locally and upload the photo again. Look for a pair of arrows, or a page icon with an arrow over it. Using desktop software that handles orientation properly should eliminate any issues of photos displaying sideways after you post them online

Nah mate, I bought a power button and my old man attempted to soldier it on but he doesn't have a steady hand and there are 5 solder joints on it.

Tries some local phone and computer place but no one wanted 2 tough it.


I really miss that phone

Once I'm back in full time work and gotten a head a bit, I'll send it of somewhere 2 get repaired.

The other thing I was thinking of doing was just finding a second hand 1 on fleabay that has a cracked screen which will probable work out cheaper than getting it repaired

Ahhh thats a buggah...... I'd say I'd do it for ya but my hands arent too steady these days either, eyes are shot too lol..... my work mate gets back on Monday, I'll have a word with him and see if he's got any ideas. Sending it over here for him to look at it will be cheaper than getting it fixed iver there.
