I have notice lately, that when I take a pic holding the phone vertically, the normal way, the pic in gallery is a small silly pic that I have to view by turning the phone sideways. The pics never used to display like this, I would take a pic, then view it and it would be a full screen pic.

Now when I click all apps button......the 3 buttons (downloads/frequent/all) usually across the bottom are now located up the right hand side of the screen covering the apps themselves......

So i go into settings to try and calibrate the G-Sensor but all I am getting is 'Calibration aborted'

Is it broke???
 
Is the phone still going into landscape when you turn it on its side?

You've probably already tried a reset and if that didn't work then you may have a problem. Take it back and exchange it.

When I'm viewing websites and rotate it does nothing, will a reset delete all my data?

See how the menu buttons are stuck to the edge of the screen

Ya, that's definitely weird. A factory reset will erase all you're data. Save all your pictures and videos on your computer. Google play keeps all your apps but you'll have to reinstall them. I'd give it a shot, if you need a new one you'll lose all that stuff anyways. Good luck

Have you accidentally turned off auto rotate in display settings, or done a g-sensor calibration with the phone NOT laying on a flat surface?

Recalibrate before you rush in and factory reset.
