3gs screen displaying autorotate lock

My 3gs screen shows an autorotate screen lock icon beside the battery meter and the screen has stopped rotating and i have tried in vain to unlock it. Please , i love this and would love to have it restored back to normal. I have tried resetting, almost everything. It does rotate normally only in the camera mode but not in any other mode like typing or playing back videos or photos.

Double-click the Home button to bring up the recent Apps tray. Swipe the tray to the right to show the lock switch at the left. Clear the lock.
If this does not work restart or reset the iPhone:
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If none of these work restoring the phone may be necessary.

  • Itunes screen display seems locked. Scrolling only moves the bottom part of list, top of list doesn't move

    Itunes music list displays but won't scroll the whole page. When scrolling throught the list, the bottom of  part of the on screen list moves, but the top portion of the list says locked on the top part of the screen. (Example; Like in an excell program where you have locked cells that dont' move as you scroll through the rest of the cells)
    Any ideas?

    I get erratic loss of input capability into my Touch. On some days in the browser ,the W key doesn't work but the adjacent Q or E keys work just fine when I slide my finger back and forth. A few hours later, it works just fine. Last night I was entering a new location in the weather, the keyboard worked fine but after a search, it would not let me click on the new location to set it up. I could get a blue background but it would not click to complete the entry. Again, I tried it 20 min later and it worked just fine. Same thing on iTunes, there are occasions when the screen is unresponsive to my input and other times when it works just fine. I have one of those plastic covers sold at the Apple store to protect the screen and maybe that's the problem. However, recent rollerblade fall proved the worth of the protector as the cover was deeply scored but the screen was fine (was erratic before fall, not caused by fall). Touch is not jailbroken. Don't want to give up the protection film but I'm not sure whether there is a problem with my iTouch or just with my touch.

  • Full screen view is locking please help

    '''bold text'''Since upgrading to Firefox 9 my View Full screen display is locking and does not respond to the cursor prompting to drop the tabs. I have to ctrl, alt, delete to get out of Firefox. I have poor vision so I use the full screen display all the time and have never had trouble with this until this last upgrade. NO solutions appear in troubleshooting. Help please?

    Can you toggle full screen mode with the F11 key?
    Do you at least see the Tab bar and the Navigation Toolbar if you disable the toolbar autohide by setting the <b>browser.fullscreen.autohide</b> pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page?

    You can also try to delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder while Firefox is closed.

  • My iPhone 4S went into lock-up with a screen display image of USB connector pointing to iTunes logo. I took it to a Verizon store and they said I have a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store 50 miles away could clear it

    My iPhone 4S went into lockup with a screen displaying an image of the USB connector pointing to the iTunes logo. I was traveling and took the phone to the closest Verizon store. The store informed me that I had a brick lock and that only an Apple retail store could unlock the phone. The Verizon store explained that they have seen this problem with SEVERAL other 4S users who had upgraded to the new iOS7 operating system and that to their knowledge it is too demanding to work on pre-iPhone 5S phones having a far less capable processor. The closest Apple store was 50 miles away in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. I went to that store three days later (today) to reset the phone before flying out of Philadelphia Intl. Airport. The Apple store personnel were overloaded and not sensitive to my plight. They told me that I would have to make a reservation for a time 2 hours later for tech support. I couldn't do that without missing my flight - out of luck until I get back to Los Angeles. If the Verizon store explanation is true, Apple needs to accommodate 4S and earlier generation users and not force them to upgrade to a $459 iPhone 5S!

    The salesperson at Verizon has no clue what their saying.
    My 4S and many of my friends works perfectly fine on IOS 7.3, no issue as all.

  • I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

    So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

    Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
    I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

    Email address hacked via iphone. iphone locked home screen displaying my email password! and has been reset. now unable to restore iphone, saying i do not have permission

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

    Hi iPheariPhoPad,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with Settings, the Notes app entry isn’t showing up as expected. Take a look at the article linked below and try restarting your iPhone 3GS.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that doesn’t do it, try restoring your iPhone as shown in this article:

  • T440s: No on screen display of caps lock, volume, screen brightness, etc.

    Hello all-
    I updated the BIOS to 2.26 a while ago and ever since then there's no on-screen indication of caps lock on/off, screen brightness or volume when I change it. Since it seemed to be affected by BIOS, I updated again to 2.27 just now, but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.
    EDIT: Just fixed my own problem. I needed to update the Hotkeys Feature Integration by downloading the utility thingy from this page. Probably wasn't a BIOS thing after all.
    Solved!

    Hi Brightnsalty,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per your query we understood that you were facing issue with On Screen Display earlier on ThinkPad T440s.
    And we glad to hear that the issue has been resolved after installing Hot key feature application.
    I also suggest you to update Lenovo power management application, if the OS is Windows 7, please update Lenovo Power Manager application.
    Cheers!

  • Any fix for freezing screens apart from locking/unlocking my phone?

    Recently my iPhone 3GS started to have a problem with freezing screens, where The touch actions do not work. Sometimes I can use the Home button to get to my application folder display, but I still have no touch screen capability and the screen is frozen. I can usually press the top button to turn off the phone's display and lock my phone, and can then restart the display by unlocking my phone (the usual left to right swipe on the bottom of the lock screen), and the phone will usually return to normal touch screen functioning, at least for a while. While this is a work-around, is there anything I can do to fix this annoying problem?

    Hello
    Usually I would advise a hard reset of your handset, but it doesn't seem like it's possible if you only have access to your handset for a few minutes before the fault occurs.
    Go to www.blackberry.com and download the blackberry desktop manager, then use this to update your handsets software, I have seen the desktop manager not recognise there is an update from an 8900 on OS 4.6, if this happens you can find the newest 8900 software on the blackberry website - download this and install it to your PC. Once it's downloaded you need to search for updates in the desktop software and when it says none available select 'view previous versions', then select the software you just downloaded.
    Hope this helps
