It is because the phone still save in landscape and put the meta data as 90 degree. You can try check the exif, rotate the bitmap before put in image view. To check exif, use something like below:

    int orientation = -1;

    ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(imagePath);

    int exifOrientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 
            ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL);

    switch (exifOrientation) {
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_270:
            orientation = 270;

            break;
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_180:
            orientation = 180;

            break;
        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_ROTATE_90:
            orientation = 90;

            break;

        case ExifInterface.ORIENTATION_NORMAL:
            orientation = 0;

            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
