Photos taken on Samsung Android phones appear rotated

Question

We're developing an app which allows the user to take a photo or pick one from the gallery. We're using the Android Crop library for this.

When testing on Android devices which aren't from Samsung the photo appears okay. However, all photos taken on Samsung devices appear rotated 90 degrees.

What is happening here? How can I make the photos appear in the proper rotation?

Here is some example code.

@Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            /*if (requestCode == SelectItensOption.MY_SCHOOL.ordinal()) {
                int selectedIndex = data.getIntExtra("selectedIndex",0);
                if (selectedIndex < BusinessModel.getInstance().getSchools().size()){
                    updateSchool(BusinessModel.getInstance().getSchools().get(selectedIndex));
                }
            } else if (requestCode == SelectItensOption.MY_PROFESSION.ordinal()) {
                int selectedIndex = data.getIntExtra("selectedIndex",0);
                if (selectedIndex < BusinessModel.getInstance().getProfessions().size()){
                    updateProfession(BusinessModel.getInstance().getProfessions().get(selectedIndex));
                }
            } else if(requestCode == SelectItensOption.MY_GENDER.ordinal()) {
                int selectedIndex = data.getIntExtra("selectedIndex",0);
                if (selectedIndex == 0) {
                    updateGender(Sex.F);
                } else {
                    updateGender(Sex.M);
                }

            } else */if (requestCode == Crop.REQUEST_PICK) {
                beginCrop(data.getData());
            } else if (requestCode == Crop.REQUEST_CROP) {
                uploadPhoto(Crop.getOutput(data),currentManagePhotoOrder);
            }   else if (requestCode == CODE_CAPTURE_IMAGE) {
                beginCrop(captureImageFileUri);
            } else if (requestCode == SELECTITEM_RESULT_CODE) {

    }

    private File createImageFile() throws IOException {
