IPhone won't change to landscape

I can't get my display on my iPhone to Change to landscape, it was working when first started using it but now has stop, does anyone know how to fix it.

I had the same problem but it would switch to landscape only after shaking my iPhone violently. I tried all the suggestions above and nothing worked so then I tried smacking my iPhone on my other hand a little bit hard and now it will switch back and forth normally. Somehow something inside must of gotten stuck and smacking it was able to get it unstuck.

    I have a lock rotation next ti my battery on my iPad 2 and it won't change from landscape and I tried to reset it but nothing and I tried from lock rotation to mute but nothing and I don't no what to do now. Can u help me plz?

    With Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Lock Rotation' have you then moved the switch on the right-hand side of the iPad above the volume control 'off' ?
    Or with the switch set to control 'notification mute' you should be able to unlock rotation via the far left of the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't being controlled by the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • HT1668 My iPhone won't change when I turn to side, how do I fix

    My iPhone won't change when I turn to side, how do I fix

    Make sure you don't have it locked in portrait mode.  Is there a symbol at the top right of the phone (near battery indicator) that looks like a padlock with a circle round it?  If so, you turn it off by double clicking home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swiping to the right to uncover the button which controls this.

  • IPhone 5 with updated ios8 won't change orientations (landscape vs portrait).

    My iPhone five with updated ios8 won't change orientation between landscape and portrait. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Hi lmilesfromnowhere, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    There may be a couple of different things I would suggest here. The first thing I would do would be to check and make sure the orientation lock is off. 
    iOS: Screen does not rotate
    If the lock is off and the issue continues, I would recommend restarting your device. If the issue continues after the restart, reset the device. 
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • [iPhone] How to change Portrait / Landscape mode.

    I am tring to change view mode between portrait and landscape mode.
    UIViewController has two UIViewes and I want them to be shown as a landscape mode.
    I found the property of interfaceOrientation in UIViewcontroller.
    but it is readonly.
    Is there a way to change view orientation not with info.plist but with code.

    You can call setStatusBarOrientation on the UIApplication class and then set your landscape view.

  • IPhone won't change from iMessage to text message

    My colleague had iPhone then had to get rid of it.  He no longer gets my texts as my phone is still using iMessage to text him.  I erased his cell number and re-entered it and that did not work.  What can I do to make my iPhone use text messaging to him now?

    He should have turned off iMessage on his old phone before getting rid of it.  If he ever registered it with Apple, he might be able to do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of the product.
    Click "unregister"
    Unregistering it often deactivates his number with iMessage.

    Yes, you have it locked in portrait orientation. Double press the home button, showing the task bar. Slide the task bar to the right, showing the orientation lock on the left, and iPod icon on the right. Tap the orientation lock icon to unlock.

    Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
    What is it you're trying to do?  If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center.  Orientation lock is the top right icon.

  • IPhone 5s won't switch to landscape mode

    I have the iPhone 5s (32GB) and the software currently being used is up to date (IOS 7.1.1).
    My problem is that my phone won't switch to landscape mode. When I take pictures, it won't turn over, and all other apps, even when I play games like Temple Run, it won't allow the character to move side to side.
    I have checked to see if my phone's orientation lock is on, which it is not. I have done a hard reset which did not fix it. I also did a restore where I restored it completely and set it up as a new phone, and restored it and set it up with a backup. Nothing has helped it!!
    I don't know what to do, and would much rather figure it out than go to the Apple Store and get it looked at. If you have any knowledge or anything that can potentially help resolve this issue, i'd be very much appreciated!!
    Thanks

  • On my iPhone 5, the battery symbol and percentage won't change, even while charging or during usage throughout the day. The battery is however charging and draining properly from what I can tell.

    Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?
    Thanks

    Try this
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    Using the phone while charging doesn't create a problem.. I do it all the time

    Hi vijenderreddy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps to try if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    For the issue of images not changing orientation, see this article:
