Front camera in wrong orientation!

---

I'm sure you guys have notice that the front camera is installed 90 degrees perpendicular to the screen orientation, causing ridiculous distortion in qik. Any one know of a way to either rotate the aspect so that it fills the screen without stretching, or of the camera maybe has a square sensor that could just be cropped in the proper alignment?

the problem is not the camera !! is qik

i download this app''mirror for sprint phones'' free in the market and it looks nice

i think qik is not compatible with the epic front camera

Its totally the camera. It renders (in landscape) a 480x640 image, which qik stretches to 640x480. Take a pic and resize it in photoshop, it looks exactly like it does in qik. That's why fring doesn't look horrible: it doesn't fit the image to the screen, and why qil looks good on the evo: the image is already 640x480 (well, bigger, but same aspect) and doesn't need to be stretched.

Look an app called MagicMirror. I personally worked with the dev on this to fix the Epic 4G front camera.

I see this thread is rather old, but I'm going to throw my 2 cents in anyway.

I tried the mirror programs listed here. Both of them produce an upright portrait image. Great. But what does that do to help video chat? Nothing that I can tell.

The front camera turns out a rotated image with Yahoo chat as well. (on a side note, Skype app doesn't even suppport video chat).

So I have to ask, what is the use of the epics Front camera? It doesn't appear to be supported by any useful applications. Furthermore- it seems to have been this way for 5 months now, and STILL no support?

i have never used video chat in 2.1. can anyone confirm it's this way in Eclair as well or is it just with the DK28 leak?

On ANY ffc client I tried, the cam is always sideways. Lame

i rooted to 2.2 yesterday and tried the yahoo messenger video chat app and also noticed the rotation. does anyone know if the front facing camera is really screwed up or if it's just the software?

Its just the software. I've used fring on 2.1 and I was write side up

I have the same problem. Try holding the phone so the camera aims down at you. It then rotates to the correct position. It would be nice if it knew a little more about which way is up!
