Can't turn auto rotate off!

Hi, I got my Xperia Z1 today, and have now checked out everything on my new phone now, and I have just. discovered that I can't turn off the auto rotate feature
Not sure if this happened after I updated to 4.3
This is really annoying, I have tried to restart the phone, turn auto rotate off and on again in both the screen settings and the shortcut in the scroll down "menu"
Anyone got any tips or tricks for me to a fix?
Would appreciate it much
Rune H.Hansen

Hi there,
What if a some app you use causes that issue?
Reboot your phone into "Safe Mode" and check whether an issue reappears.
Cheers.
There is nothing impossible to him who will try. A. t. G. (356BC - 323BC)

[Lollipop] Turning Auto-rotate off forces portrait mode

In various situations, I like to use my tablet in landscape mode, but turn auto-rotate off (watching movies/streams while lying down).
I do this using the pull-down quick menu. After the update to lollipop however, whenever I turn off "Auto-rotate", the button's name will switch to "Portrait" and my tablet (and app) will rotate into portrait mode, even if it was in landscape mode when I pressed the button. I reckon this is done with e-books in mind, but for my purposes this makes this feature useless.
Is there any way to restore the original behaviour (tablet stays in the orientation it was in when you decide to turn off Auto-rotate)? If there is not currently, I urge you to change it back to the old way (other lollipop tablets seem to have the old behaviour still from what I could gather from friends).

That's the way it's supposed to work
Well, that just sounds like an opinion. Do you have any source for that? As I said, my friends' other tablets behave differently.
Is there anyone from Sony around who can shed some light on this or make inquiries? Or is this a users-help-users-only support forum?
And @Johnny_dee, please don't hijack threads. The whole discussion now is about a whole other topic. Just open a new topic.
(maybe some nice moderator could split the topic?)

Tables in pages - Can i turn auto complete off?

I'm making a pretty chart style document in pages. It's probably not the best way to go about it, but I'm halfway there.
At this point, any time I type in two words into a cell; there will be another cell that starts with those same two works and pages wants to autocomplete my sentence. It's kind of slowing me down and really annoying. Anyone know how to shut this off?

It's in Preferences > General, the second item under Editing.

How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

I do not believe this.. you can not disable auto correct without disabling the spell checker.. I am struck dumb by this.. I recently bought a mac for the first time.. ive always used windows.. there are more thngs like this than i expected.. I actually find this so ignorant I am lost for words.. this auto correct is a nightmare for me.. and has already caused me a lot of trouble because I have sent emails where words have been changed and i didnt notice and I have unknowingly insulted people.. i use a regular spell checker quite often but apparently I simply have no choice with safari.. oh well I am going to have to find another browser then.. goodbye safari!.. I also use a lot of shortened words and names etc etc.. like for eg I used the shortened word for problems "probs" and it changes it to "probe" and then i go back and change it back to WHAT I WANT TO SAY and it changes it AGAIN!!!!
Does anyone else feel like this is yet another example of how, more and more, we are being treated like morons?
Ok I'll try to stop ranting.. the real point is it should be possible to have a spell checker without auto correct..

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

How do I make PDF with layers that can be turned on and off?

I am creating a map in Indesign CS4 and I want to have different layers that can be turned on and off. Layers like different places and names that can be controled in Acrobat (and Reader). Im not sure how to go about this and if this is something created through Acrobat or through InDesign. I didnt see anything in ID when converting to a PDF that would save layers in that way so I assume its done in Acrobat Pro? Just need and idea of where to start

How can u have lock rotation off and mute feature off at the same time

How can u have lock rotation off and mute feature off at the same time

Maybe this will help. The link at the bottom is the same one that was posted above.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Can't turn my iPod OFF!

For the last week or so my iPod won't turn off, which is a bit of a twist on the regular "I can't turn my iPod on" posts.
Until now it would turn itself off after about five minutes unused, or I could turn it off by holding down play/pause, but now it just stays on 24/7 whether it's playing or not.
This is a bit of a pain as I need to make sure it's plugged in overnight or the battery gets run down.
Any ideas?
Oh, and yes I have checked the "hold" switch isn't on.

I just tried the enter button and play button together - that turned it off, but as soon as I let go of the buttons it comes back on again!!
On the third or fourth attempt it turned off and stayed off so maybe I'll just have to think of it as an extra game - test your skill, can you turn the iPod off in less than three goes!

I can't turn my camera off. It's on in my Facebook and I can't shut it off.

Double click your home button.
When the bar pops up on the bottom scroll through the list until you see Camera.
Hold down on it until it starts to wiggle.
Click the red minus sign.
Press the home button.
The camera will now be off.

Can not turn the passcode off on my iPhone4

Can not turn the passcode off? Please help to solve this problem, thanks!

If it's a personal iPhone rather than a corporate one. Go to settings, then general, then passcode. You will need to know your passcode and enter it, you will then be presented with the option to turn it off.

I can't turn my phone off. The button is stuck.

Do you have a case on the iPhone? It could be interfering with the button operation.
If that isn't it, you'll have to setup service.

On my iPhone 4, I cannot get the "not enough storage on iCloud" message to close. Therefore, I can't get past this box/screen AND I can't turn the device off. Please help.

Try resetting it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing. You won't lose any data by doing this.

I plugged it into my laptop and it still doesn't do anything but blip red.
I knew I should have waited to up date it until I got back. everytime i try to update one of my ipads, something goes wrong.....
I really need my ipad back as I am going on a trip tomorrow morning and need my gps map on there.

I held down the sleep and home key to shut down the ipad.... it's restarting...hopefully this will work!
