HT5012 My screen no longer rotates when I turn my phone while watching videos

Is this a setting I may have turned off?

Make sure rotation lock is off.
iOS 7: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access Control Center and make sure the lock & circular arrow icon on the right is not lit.
iOS 5 or 6: Double tap the Home button swipe across from left to right and tap the lock & circular arrow icon.

    My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, 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. If you have the newer ipad just swipe up on the home screen and the shrotcuts will come up and there will be a symbol for screen rotation lock (make sure its off)
    If there isn't a lock symbol 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.

  • My phone screen no longer locks when I put my phone to my cheek when answering or making a call making it so I constantly press buttons like hold or mute or even end. I've hung up on my boss several times. How do I fix it!

    Please help my figure out how to make it so that my phone screen will lock when I put it to my check. The auto black out stopped working not to long after I downloaded the ios7

    Is the phone in a case?  Try taking it out of the case.  If that doesn't work, then your proximity sensor is broken.  You'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • My iPad screen no longer rotates.

    My iPad screen no longer rotates. When I toggle the switch on the upper right, it just indicates a ringer either on or off. When I check in settings, it shoes the screen rotation as 'muted'.  No luck turning it on or off either. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Try double pressing the home button, then swiping to the right until you see the ipod controls. There should be an orientation button at the far left.

  • I can't get my screen to roll over when I turn phone on the side. It used to work, I might have set something wrong   thanks

    You may have locked the screen. Open Control Center by sliding up with one finger from below the bottom of the home screen. The orientation lock control is at the far right of the top row in Control Center (looks like a lock surrounded by a circular arrow). If it is on, the same icon will be in the menu bar. Also note that not all screens will rotate -- the home screen for example will not.

  • My iPhone screen doesn't move when I turn phone sideways

    WWhen I look at a web page or picture, it stays in vertical position even when I turn phone sideways. How can I fix this?

    Hi Eileen@@,
    If your screen still hasn't been able to rotate, I would recommend you take a look at the troubleshooting information in this article:
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Some apps don't rotate. Some might use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen doesn't rotate when you rotate the device, try these steps:
    Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
    If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
    If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
    Get more help
    If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
    Restart your iOS device.
    If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore you
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

    I bought my iPhone on Friday and when I tried to use it to make a call (after I had left the store)  the screen had turned green - as if a green filter had been placed over it.  When I turned the phone sideways the color turned to magenta. Anyone else have this problem? I plan on exchanging the phone but can't get there until later this week.
