Occasionally iPhone 6 won't rotate

Hi Everyone,
Every once in a while, my iPhone 6 refuses to rotate the screen. Usually it's after capturing or viewing a slomo movie, though I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Symptoms: the iPhone refuses to rotate the display in Photos/Safari/etc; it's stuck in one orientation or another.
Toggling orientation lock makes no difference. The only thing that fixes it is a restart.
Has anyone else seen this?

Yep - definitely have the same issue..
Screen orientation would not adjust accordingly when physically moving screen between landscape/portrait.
This is with apps that ARE supposed to do so - such as email, photos, web browsers... affects all.
In my case I toggled the View settings from Standard > Zoomed > Standard, and it seemed to reset itself for now.
iPhone 6, 64Gb, iOS8 (of course)
Apple - Can we get a patch for this please??? Seems like a common issue to me...

    Look in the status bar to see if you have accidently turned on the orientation lock. It would be an icon near the battery icon that looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it. It will also be in the Control Center, when you swipe upwards from the bottom of the phone screen. Top row of icons, the last one on the right. White is on, black is off.
    I've also asked the hosts to move your post to an iPhone forum, so you can get more assistance.

  • Iphone won't rotate?

    Hi, I'm running an Iphone 5s on IOS 7.1.1. For some reason at random times my phone will stop refusing to rotate, wether its in a game, website, or photo, and its really frustrating. Reseting the lock for rotation doesn't seem to work, and restarting my Iphone seems to be my only option. I haven't seen any recent posts about this issue and was wondering if anyone else had been having the same issues as me.

    Symptoms
    Display does not rotate when device changes orientation
    Restore the device using the latest version of iTunes. Warning: This will delete all user data on the device. Varify that you have a backup before proceeding. Open the Calculator app and rotate device. Does the display rotate properly? (YES: Issue resolved) (NO: Contact Apple for service options)

  • I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
    And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

  • IPhone 6 Videos app won't rotate

    Hi Everyone,
    Recently, my iPhone 6 Videos apps is stuck in landscape mode and won't rotate the screen.
    Symptoms: the iPhone refuses to rotate the display in Videos. All other apps rotate fine.
    Toggling orientation lock makes no difference. Portrait lock, standard view, adjusting compass, restart and restore didn't fix the problem.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    Restore as new.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 screen rotate and why do my apps launch upside down?

    Hi, I've had my iPhone 4 for maybe a month now and it's been working completely fine until today some problems developed.
    1. My screen won't rotate when using apps, text, etc. even though I have screen rotation unlocked.
    2. When opening some of my apps (example: Cleverbot, Bejeweled) they launch upside down for some reason, but only when I have screen rotation unlocked. If I lock screen rotation they launch upright.
    P.S. Screen rotation and the apps were working completely fine up until today all of a sudden they stopped working right and I have no idea what I could have done to cause it.

    To be precise:
    Check to see if Screen Lock is ON, then turn it OFF. Press Home Button twice quickly > scroll new bottom row to the right > Tap Screen Lock icon on left side.
    NOT the little icon at the top of the screen.

  • Iphone items won't rotate

    Your orientation may be locked in portrait. Read this:

  • IPhone 6 plus won't rotate to landscape - small lock with circle around it

    I have an iPhone 6 plus - and I have an small icon that is a padlock with a circle around it - how do I unlock the screen orientation lock?

    Can I assume that when the iPhone Screen is rotated to Landscape, and the display adjusts appropriately, users are then Swiping Up from the Bottom [now Long edge], then hitting the Lock-Unlock Icon, and the iPhone is Locked into Landscape?
    If I do, as described, the Swiped Up Control Centre covers the entire screen.
    When I hit the Lock-Unlock Icon a blurred image of the Display can be seen Rotating back to Portrait View.
    I am being very careful to ensure that the iPhone remains horizontal during the above action.
    To Close the Control Centre I have to Swipe it Downward form the Top [now Long Edge].
    Now being forced to revert to using Portrait View I Swipe Up for the Bottom [now Short Edge].
    When the Lock-Unlock Icon is hit a Message pops up saying the Portrait View has been Unlocked.
    Clearly these actions are not producing the results expected in my case.
    I would appreciate being able to use the iPhone Locked in Landscape View because of the need to view Bus Timetables very frequently.
    Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong, or actions toward resolution will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    FG

  • IPhone 6 home screen won't rotate

    Just got home with the iPhone 6 and the home screen will NOT rotate! Other apps seem to rotate, just not the home screen.
    I checked the screen lock and it is also not in zoomed mode. I have tried a few restarts with no luck and downloaded the newest IOS update.
    Please help! I was really looking forward to this feature.

    I am having this issue with both my wife's and my new iPhone 6 and it seems to be iOS 8.?? related and does anyone know if Apple plans to issue a OS patch?  The restarts and resets have not resolved this issue and this is our first iPhone, but I am a long term Mac user and the phone should respond like my iPOD 5 or better.
    Do you have the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus?
    Only the iPhone 6 Plus rotates the Home Screen.

  • TS3274 iPad won't rotate

    My iPad won't rotate anymore. It only allows me to use it either horizontally if watching a film, or one direction vertically if I am using the apps on the "desktop". How do I get it back the other way?

  • Iphone 6 plus rotation for camera or games now broken since recent patch iOS 8.1.2

    Anyone else having this issue?

    Hey there Smoothasice,
    If your screen is still not rotating as it should, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
    If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
    If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
    Get more help
    If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
    Restart your iOS device.
    If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore your device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling
