I've had this problem on two phones now. When I upload photos, they come out sideways or even upside down. On the GUI I've unlocked it and clicked the rotate button, which does nothing. Sometimes changing the size from medium to large or whatever helps. Here's a pic for reference:

This is sideways. The axle should be facing up. The photo uploader rotated the photo. Super annoying. Anyone else having this issue? I get it with probably 1/3 of my photos.

Can't say that I have had that problem. Any chance that that it has something to do with "portrait" vs "landscape"?
BTW, that picture looks very VW-ish..

I haven't had issues with it here but I have had issues putting photos on my work server from my iPhone and my coworker has from his Android phone. No advice to offer, sorry.
In reply to noddaz :
I've been wondering that, if it automatically puts things to landscape. Annoying but I can deal with it.
On my phone, photo orientation is determined by the phone when you take the picture.
If you are holding the phone close to flat, to take a picture looking down, it really screws with the sensor. Mine will screw up the orientation if I'm within 20 degrees of holding the phone flat.
