Moto X Help! -Does anyone have issues with videos and orientation? I don't notice it quite as much as my wife as she takes a lot more, but I have seen at least one video I've taken recently that saved improperly. Hers are all over the place...at first I was going to blame her allergy to technology, but it does appear to be the phone that's doing the weirdness (I've watched her take a video, holding the phone with the lens to the left; in her gallery, the video may be oriented portrait, sideways, even upside down).
At first I wanted to blame auto-upload, but the videos in the camera gallery itself seem to prove the phone is just saving them incorrectly. I've no idea why this is...more frustrating is the fact that many of these videos can't be fixed (there's no re-orienting a video as far as I can tell; granted I haven't looked too hard). For background, my X is on Verizon and my wife's is with +Republic Wireless. Both phones are as fully up to date as can be.

Well, it looks like G+ may be to the rescue. I didn't think you could rotate videos, but it looks like it's possible through the web (on Android it's a no go). I went through a bunch and re-oriented them, it says they are now "processing" so I'll check in later on to see if they're fixed.
