Hey Walterlam,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! And thanks for the question. There's two articles I'd like to point you to - try going through them in order, checking after each step to see if the issue is resolved.

If following those steps do not work, you can try restoring your iPhone:

  • Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

    Hi,
    Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
    For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
    What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
    I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
    My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
    HELP ME!!!!

    I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature.  Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

    This may sound crazy, but download any free app.  This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

    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.

    Hello chindeepchow,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#3000
    Resolve communication issues
    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

    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:

  • Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

    New Iphone 5 rotates between vertical and horizontal modes, but does not flip vertically.

    Hey Oprion,
    Thanks for the question and congrats on your new iPhone 5c. The orientation of your iPhone will depend on the application you are using. For example, most of the built in applications only support the three main orientations (Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal), whereas the Voice Memo’s application will operate “upside down” for easier access to the microphone.
    Change the screen orientation - iPhone

  • IPhone 6 plus problem in app Landscape mode

    Hello,
    i got the iphone 6 plus yesterday, I switched from an android phone, and there are some things that I am finding quite annoying. First, some of the apps do not support landscape mode and force portrait mode. I have an iPad and this is not an issue with these apps there. screen rotation is not locked and standard view is enabled. When entering text on landscape mode, screen responsiveness is poor for text entry. When I want to share something, the options are limited to Facebook, YouTube, email and a couple more, on android I couls share directly to many more things including whatsapp. I don't know how much of this is just normal iOS

    Hi Sunnifromlondon,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.
    I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:

  • 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

  • My iPhone 4S won't go into sleep mode

  • Brand new iPhone 3GS won't go into silent mode

    I just purchased an iPhone 3GS. It came with iOS5 preinstalled. I haven't been able to make it go into silent mode. Is there some setting I need to switch?
    In my 1st generation iPhone, all I had to do was flip the switch on the side of the iPhone, so that the orange dot would be seen, and it would display the crossed bell graphic and go into silent mode.
    When I flip the switch on the iPhone 3GS, nothing happens. It still makes noise when it rings. I tried toggling the setting in "Sounds" which said "Change with Buttons", but the switch still doesn't work. Toggling this setting seems to affect whether the "speaker" graphic is on screen when I press the volume buttons.
    It seems that there is no way I can get the ringer switch to do anything.
    Is there anyway to make this work? Or have I received a defective unit? =S

    I took it back to the store where i purchased it and had them replace it. No one could figure out why it wouldn't go silent, so we assumed the hardware was faulty. The new device works.
