Browser "flip" from portrait to landscape doesn't work consistently

Hi, I just had to have my iphone replaced at the apple store because of a major dead spot in the touch screen. The second one now has a totally different problem. The feature that allows the orientation of the browser to "flip" between portrait and landscape (depending on the orientation of the phone) doesn't work most of the time. It will flip to landscape, but not go back. Sometimes it will flip opposite to the way I turned it, which means flipping the phone over. Now, it works, but only in one direction and won't flip back unless I hold it still for a few seconds.
Anyone else experience this?

you might want to try re-setting the phone. Hold the on/off switch and the center button down together until the screen goes black and the apple logo appears, then let go.
If it doesn't work, try troubleshooting for the "accelerometer" (thats the mechanism that allows the phone to switch to landscape view mode...

  • Without screen lock on, my screen automatically flips from portrait to landscape even if my iPad isn't moved. How can I keep it from doing this?

    Help!

    Reboot your iPad and see if that fixes it. Unlock the screen first, reboot, lock the screen again and see what happens.
    You are seeing the padlock icon in the upper right corner indicating that the screen is actually locked, correct?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

  • Firefox is freezing (going to a black screen) whenever I rotate a web page from portrait to landscape view on a stock Motorola Atrix on a stable wifi connection. How do I fix this?

    I'm running a stock Atrix with Android 2.3 (gingerbread). Yesterday afternoon I noticed that Firefox was taking a good 30 seconds to open whenever I tapped the Firefox icon on my phone. It's also freezing/going to a black screen anytime I rotated from portrait to landscape by rotating my phone. When this happens, the phone itself doesn't freeze (other programs still work if I hit the home key), but it takes a couple manual on-off cycles of the screen to wake Firefox up. Is there something I can do to fix this annoying problem without installing and reinstalling Firefox?

    I have also found that unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option solves this issue. This option is in the Advanced section, under the General tab.

    You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
    Restart phone
    Reset phone
    Restore in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

  • How can I change a print page orientation from portrait to landscape

    How can I change the page orientation when printing from portrait to landscape?

    By setting the print size  --  ie rather than 6x4 use 4x6 - and to avoid unwanted cropping you need to crop the photo to the target ratio before printing ( you can undo the crop after printing if you do not want it to be permanent)

    How do I get my screen to turn from portrait to landscape when I rotate my phone?

    Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to activate Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the right on the top row. Looks like a padlock with a circular arrow around it. White is on, black is off.

  • How to: Rotate pages from Portrait to Landscape using Acrobat Pro XI?

    As title states need to know how to do this on a multi-page document.
    E.g. out of a 10 page document, pages 4-7 need to be changed from portrait to landscape.  Note must keep the document scaling once pages 4-7 are changed to landscape.
    Tried Tool > Rotate and it does not work.  Rotating 90 degrees or 180 degrees do not present the document in landscape format. Researching the forums does not provide a solution.
    Can someone help provide specific steps for Acrobat Pro XI?  Thanks!

    Never heard of a this issue. Perhaps we are expecting different things. Here is a portrait page:
    and I apply Rotate Clockwise 90 degrees. Here is the result:
    Document scaling is preserved. (Of course 180 degrees does not change to portrait, but it makes it upside down).
    This to me has worked as expected. Were you expecting something different? For example, were you expecting the effect you would have in Word if you changed page setup from portrait to landscape, where the contents would not rotate, but would reformat to fit the new page - which certainly isn't what happens in PDF.

    I think you have to sign into your Amazon Kindle Account, find the book in your archive and delete it there.  Otherwise you can delete it from the device and leave it in the archive, should you want to look at it again.

    You will have to use a video editor that will rotate it. I don't know which one will do it; you'll have to search the app store or maybe some of the other users here will know of one.

  • Photostream from PC to Ipad doesn't work

    Hello, I have installed ICloud on my Ipad en on my Windows 8 laptop. Photostream from Ipad to laptop is ok but from laptop to Ipad doesn't work.
    I have contacted Apple support but the couldn't figure it out, I tried everything: disable firewall in router and laptop, also disabeld Defender, installed a new
    ICloud, installed new OS on the Ipad, all the photo's are in the upload folder, the battery of the Ipad is 100% filled, the Wifi works ok. etc.etc. I suppose that
    there must be a wrong configuration somewhere, perhaps the Wifi must be in BootP on the Ipad or I have to enable a kind of service in the laptop or perhaps
    it is just a stupidity from me? Who has an idea?
    Thnx RJZ

    Looks like they changed how this works in iCloud Control Panel 2.0
    "On a PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later, open a Windows Explorer window. Select Photo Stream under Favorites. Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select photos to import to My Photo Stream, and then click Open."
