3GS screen no longer goes horizontally

My 3GS screen just stopped going horizontal when I turn it. My wife has the same phone and hers still works. Did i accidentally turn this option off or is there something wrong with my phone?

  • 3Gs video no longer rotates horizontally

    Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be ? Doesn't work with some of my most often used apps.

    Sounds like you have portrait lock on. Double press the Home button to open the multitasking window and swipe to the right until you see the last icon. That's the portrait lock. tap it to turn on or off.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • WiFi drop out & screen not going horizontal

    i have two issues I can't resolve; I have spoken twice to Apple Care about #1-
    1) The iPhone has worked well in all the WiFi spots I've taken except the most important one: at my office. My wireless set up in my small office enables 3 computers... but not the iPhone. I can trick it into hooking up (airplane mode on then off); it finds the network, hooks up, then reverts back to edge. This happens even when I stand next to the router. With AppleCare, i restored the software (long process... be sure you back up before trying it yourself), but it didn't help at all.
    2) the screen won't go horizontal when i'm on edge. This just began yesterday. I have restarted several times to know avail.
    TIA for any other tips for either of these issues

    2) Make sure you're holding the iPhone perpendicular to the floor when you rotate. It won't rotate if is paralell to the floor (e.g., lying on a flat table)

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • HT3529 i cannot open my messages app due to a ridiculously long text i sent, it goes to a white screen then just goes back to the home screen, what can i do ?

    i cannot open my messages app due to a ridiculously long text i sent, it goes to a white screen then just goes back to the home screen, what can i do ?

    OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
    If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
    You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
    To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
    Type in
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
    rm /var/audit/current
    Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
    If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.

  • HT1296 Events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer sync to my Outlook 2010 calendar - what's up?

    Some change in iOS I suppose makes it so events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer populate my Outlook 2010 calendar when I sync the devices through iTunes.  It used to be that events entered in each place would populate the other locationg when synced.  No longer!
    There are two calendars in iPhone now and I don't know why. 
    Can anyone help me find out what's going on?

    Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

    Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
    It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
    Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
    Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
    Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

  • MacBook no longer goes to sleep automatically

    I asked the question in the Mac Pro forum by mistake.. Hopefully I can get some input here?
    My MacBook no longer goes to sleep automatically after the 'Computer Sleep' period has elapsed and without me using it. I can however make the MacBook go to sleep by using a sleep command from the menu or the one on the logon screen, as well ask closing the lid.
    I have tried hard to find out what the problem is, but to no avail
    1. I have reset the NVRam
    2. I have reset the SMC
    3. I have deleted the sleepimage cache
    A. I have turned off 'Wake for Network Access'
    B. I have a Magic Mouse, but have turned off 'allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer.
    My MacBook won't sleep even if I close all programs beforehand.
    These are the products that I have an start up:
    itunes helper
    radioshift helper
    colormunki
    media (mounted volume)
    skype
    No one else uses my MacBook
    I don't have any sharing services enabled that I am aware of. In any case no one would be accessing my MacBook from any other networked machine.
    Time Machine is enabled and writes to a Netgear NV+
    I have a similar problem with my Mac Mini. Can anyone help me analyse what is happening?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi there, It's a very common problem. Some people seem to have solved the problem by checking Activity Monitor to see if there are any messages that may help identify if a piece of software is preventing the system from entering a sleep state. I did this and realised my external HD software was preventing the system from sleeping. Now my MBP 15" i5 predictably sleeps and my battery life is extended.
    There is a lot of good advice here:--->>

  • My ipad 2 does turn on but every time i try to turn it on the screen flickers then goes blue then turns back off

    well I need help its not even working its freezing cold

    I'm not sure why the device is like that, but if your iPad is freezing cold, don't try to do anything with it until it warms up to room temperature. Once it warms up, if you still see the blue screen and it goes back to black when you try to start it up, try this.
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    I copied that text from here.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

  • Iphone 3gs screen sensitivity REVERSED........please help ???

    I have 3gs, and for the past few weeks having some wierd issues. hope i can explain it well.
    I dunno what happened but my screen sensitivity has reversed, i mean to say generally when we make calls and if the phone is next to your ear the screen turns black and unresponsive to the touch of your ear and once you finish the call and remove the phone from your ear the screen activates to end the call.
    in my case this screen sensitivity have reversed, the moment i take my phone next to my ear, the screen activates and thus it becomes responsive to the touch of my ear and as a result automatically the call sometimes go to speakerphone or sometimes go on hold and what not, and as soon as i remove the phone from my ear, the screen blacks out and not showing the screen end call button. i have to end the call through the top button. after a few seconds the screen appears and acts normal for applications and internet stuff. again if i make a call it starts acting in the same reversed way..............
    its very very annoying and i need some expert advice. my phone is in its original condition, never unlocked, never jailbroken, with 3.1..........please please help me........hope u all understood what i was trying to say.........
    Message was edited by: psax

    And I thought I was the only one having this strange problem. For me too the automatic screen saving is reversed! Everytime I have a call the screen is on and active right next to my ear. When I want to end a call I have to place my finger on the sensor to activate the screen as it goes black otherwise.
    Same while playing the voicemail: it goes black shortly after I start the recording and only would show up with my finger placed on the sensor...
    No case. Reset and recovery done. No change.
    So I guess we have a hardware problem.
    I will go to my local dealer next monday to let them have a look!
    Cheers.

  • Screen flickering then goes dark.. :(

    When I open my laptop, the screen flickers for less than a second and then goes dark. If I open and close it quite a few times, occasionally the screen will work, for hours at a time. If you shine a flashlight on it, you can see the dim desktop, so I know the computer is running. It is a mid 2010 macbook pro.
    I have tried rebooting and resetting the laptop.., but the problem is persistent and its been weeks since i am facing it..
    Have already had my logicboard replaced few months back... and now this....
    Please help me.... as it is no longer under APP , i am worried how much its gonna be charged..
    For a fault that i have read is very common with many people who bought their laptop during this year....
    Any suggestion or ay kind of help will be great..

    Make a Genius appointment. Troubleshooting and analysis are a free service at the Genius Bar. If don't have Apple Care and you need repair, then you would have to pay.
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    Before you do costly repairs on an old Mac compare it to the cost of a new MacBook Air. Apple recently dropped the prices on the MacBook Airs by $100. Best Buy has been offering additional discounts on the Air. Prices start around $850.

  • How much £ dose the iphone 3gs screen cost

    how much £ dose the iphone 3gs screen cost

    At my Apple Store they still will replace the iPhone 3GS front screen assembly for $99 US. In UK it will be a lower number in £. See if your Apple Store does this. At worst you are looking at a perfect Replacement iPhone 3GS for £ 126.44 at UK Apple Store. Make Genius reservation first to avoid long wait.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while
