Description
**Describe the bug**
If the phone was physically turned 90° after starting the camera and not turned back then the taken image will be lost and no upload dialog displayed
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Hold the phone vertically (portrait)
2. Press the + button and choose `Camera`
3. Turn the phone horizontally (landscape)
4. Take a photo
5. The room activity seems to restart and the taken photo is lost, no upload dialog displayed
**Expected behavior**
Should show the upload dialog, some moments in life can not be recreated and thus lost forever because of this bug.
**Smartphone (please complete the following information):**
- Device: Moto G7 Power
- OS: Android 10
**Additional context**

Similar issue from the old Riot Android: vector-im/riot-android#1510
Depending on the camera app, if you turn the phone back _after_ taking a shot but _before_ confirming it the activity doesn't restart and the dialog appears as expected.
