[Q] Video chat is sideways

---

I've searched the forums, google etc and can't see an answer to this. I've updated my ROM to the latest from Virtuous Unity running sense 3.0 and android 2.3.4 but when i try and do a video call, either with google chat, or Skype, my image always comes out sideways to me, and to the other person, no matter which way i turn my phone.

Any ideas why? Is there a solution? Tried a couple of other ROMs but same issue.

Any help would be appreciated

As far as I know this is a 'known bug' don't think there is a work around for it yet

Is your mirror app unsidedown when you turn your phone to landscape?

also for me, i can video call with skype without a problem

Yeh so can I. But test your mirror app. What kernel are you on

using 'My Mirror' from the market, no problems in landscape mode.
Kernel is v9.
