You should rotate this images yourself. Read image orientation value from content provider, specifically Images.Media.ORIENTATION field and rotate it correspondingly.

This images are stored rotated. Rotate angle is saved in media database.

public int getOrientation(Uri selectedImage) {
    int orientation = 0;
    final String[] projection = new String[]{MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION};      
    final Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(selectedImage, projection, null, null, null);
    if(cursor != null) {
        final int orientationColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION);
        if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            orientation = cursor.isNull(orientationColumnIndex) ? 0 : cursor.getInt(orientationColumnIndex);
        }
        cursor.close();
    }
    return orientation;
}

You can rotate image using ImageView.setImageMatrix() for example.
