Apps won't switch to landscape mode

Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp). I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode. Also, I don't have the portrait lock on. The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up? Could it be because of the new update?

Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.

Mail app won't switch to landscape mode?

Hi all,
As of this morning my Mail app seems to be stuck in portrait mode. Any clues on how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Tom.

I tried turning it off and then back on. That did not work. Before doing a restore, I went to Settings, and under General I clicked on Reset. This reset all of my settings but unlike restore did not wipe out my info and apps. This worked. I think I must have inadvertently changed a setting, but I have no idea which one.

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

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

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.

Numbers app won't switch to landscape view - ipod touch

The numbers app does not seem to be able to switch to landscape view on the ipod touch.
Is there someway to get it to run in horizontal mode?

It seems like it ought to be, I'm very dissapointed that this app won't do this.

My iphone 5 suddenly won't switch to landscape mode when texting

I've had iphone 5 for about 2 weeks and recently when I turn my phone to landscape when texting it doesn't switch to landscape

Again make sure rotation lock is disabled as TJBUSMC1973 kindly suggested. Then what you want to do is:
- leave the multitasking bar up
- hold your finger on the messages app till it starts to wiggle
- tap the red button with the - in it on the messages app
then do a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then release both buttons as soon as you see the apple logo appear
Now try opening the messages app and view it landscape.

TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

N8 won't go to landscape mode

Hey everybody,
I've had the N8 for a month now and I'm loving it. The main reason I got the phone was because of the picture and video quality and it's ability to become my all-in-one device.
I've ran into a problem now that I need help with. My phone won't rotate into landscape mode. This is a problem because now I can't type texts and messages in qwerty form and using the portrait keyboard is a pain in the butt. Has anybody else experienced this? Is it a hardware or software problem? I've already searched throughout the internet and have tried the following solutions but they didn't work:
Change the sensor settings on the phone and ensured the auto-rotate display was activated
Removed any apps that i downloaded since the problem occured
Restarted my phone several times to see if that worked
Did a soft reset on the phone and chose to delete and restore the phone to factory settings.
test out the accelerometer by downloading the level app (app did not run for some reason)
None of these solutions worked for me. I haven't done a hard reset because I've read that Ovi Maps will not show up on the phone. I have a feeling it's a problem with the phone's accelerometer. I am tempted to call Nokia support but I'd rather fix this problem at home if it's a simple solution.
Thanks

One final thing you can try is a factory reset of the phone.
If you dont already have it, download and install Nokia Ovi Suite
Connect phone to computer and do a backup of its contents through Tools -> Backup
Disconnect phone from computer
Choose Call -> dial *#7370#
Phone asks if you want to restore phone to factory settings, answer yes
Phone restarts.
Try the landscape mode again.
If it still doesnt work, seems the sensors dosnt work properly and phone needs service.

IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode. Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

+1
My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
 rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
 display dual-paned email
 display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
(It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
Does this ring a bell?
I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
Thanks!

My I phone will no longer switch to landscape mode. How can I reset? Thanks!

If I'm following correctly, double tap the home button. Then slide the bar on the bottom of your screen to your right where you'll see the ipod icons and and a black icon on the left. If you see an image of a lock on the black icon, it means that you are locked in portrait orientation. Simply tap the icon to unlock it and that should free up landscape mode.

My iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode

my iPhone no longer switches to landscape mode, any suggestions

Make sure it's not in Portrait mode. Double-click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar, go to the left, the leftmost icon should be an empty square. Click it to turn on or off Portrait mode.

IPad won't switch to landscape view

I updated my software on my iPad and now it won't switch to landscape view and it is not locked. I have restarted it and cleared my memory and checked every setting that I can think of. What now?

By restart do you mean a reset ? If there isn't a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Is there is a lock symbol then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via 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 on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

You likely have the rotation lock on.

The app is always inverted in landscape mode on Fire OS

Hello. I've recently submitted several apps made in AIR on the Amazon Store, but they were rejected because of the following problem : "App is always inverted in landscape mode". This problem appears only on the Amazon devices which use Fire OS. What can I do about this. Does anyone have a solution? Or is it something that should by Adobe and should appear in an update of AIR?

it is quite a shame....how come they did not think about that ? that's silly
