Try the same apps on another phone :)

I know some dodgy chinese knockoff phones or tablets (can't remember) had the front camera in upside down. Oh, what does it show when turned landscape?

It's the right way up, it's just mirror-reversed

EDIT:
Decided to try changing camera orientation anyway. Upon experimentation, rotating the camera does not fix it.

EDIT:
I think it may have been reversed intentionally, either by the programmer or the phone manufacturer. I still want it un-reversed though (more so, in fact. Poorly designed items bother me far more than ones that are merely defective)

What if you take a picture using the non-self portrait camera?

It comes out correctly that way, I checked

Hey my pc has suddenly died today. After showing the POST screen the monitor kind of turns off and the operating system just doesn't load (I guess). No sound signals from motherboard or anything. I've reset CMOS, plugged RAM modules out and in etc. The videocard fan and the one of the power supply unit are rotating as if everything is allright. I also noticed that the motherboard led isn't flashing or blinking as it used to be. What do I do?

Get a rescue CD, copy off vital information, reinstall OS?

But I have reinstalled it recently!

UPD. It seems like it's an os problem indeed.

I recently upgraded my GPU, but I still have my original CPU from 2012. Is an i5 3450 gonna cut it for much longer? Taking apart my rig again would be a pain in the ass, but if my hardware's getting outdated, I'll have to consider it.

A flash video player that came with a flash video downloader(Ant, to be specific) is now refusing to play any videos at all. Each one is saying "Video not found or access denied". Every video is in the correct location, and I have never touched the security settings on that folder.

You're talking about this one, right? It's still pretty darned good and will be for at least a couple years. It'll run without bottlenecking alongside pretty much any mid/high-end GPU while playing intensive games, maybe barring an outlier or two.

Just installed VLC to check. It worked with it. I think the Ant Toolbar's player uses a Flash plugin, and I think a recent Flash update killed that. They don't run in a basic Flash player, but I don't remember if they ever actually did to begin with.

My mom is finally going to buy a new computer! One of the main uses will be to play Minecraft with me, and I'm clueless when it comes to hardware, so can anyone tell me if this one will be up for the job? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-erazer-x315-desktop-amd-fx-series-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-128gb-solid-state-drive-black/7122028.p?id=1219668763851&skuId=7122028

I know the video card is important but I have no idea how good that card is, and Google only gives me long lists of data that mean nothing to me. :( Thanks guys!

IIRC, minecraft also suffers from its memory management being a horrible steaming pile of garbage. Get RAM with good bandwidth and latency and make sure you have enough (8 gig should be enough)

The acrobat reader icon seems to have disappeared from pdf files on my computer. I tried changing the associated program and changing it back and I tried rebuilding the icon cache but neither of these things worked.
