IOS 8.2 (12D506) prevents screen rotation

Apple's latest release - 8.2(12D508) - placed a non-removable Apple Watch icon on my screen and, as some perverse form of 'trade-off', removed my phone's (5S) ability to rotate the screen. Apple can be really clever with hardware design, but, much to my regret, too often suck at software. Where's the quality control?  Ever heard of regression testing? So, Apple, how long before this mess gets fixed? Lesson learned: Never install new updates until they finish their "learn-as-you-go" cycle.

Rotation works fine for me on iOS 8.2.
Check to see if Rotation Lock is turned On in the Control Panel.

  • After updating to iOS 8.3, seem like the wifi signal got worst. The screen rotation is still as bad

    sseem like the updates which were pushed didn't do any much hel, the wifi signal was even weaker than before, at times I will be totally disconnected from my home wifi.
    And the screen rotation... i don't see any difference to it.

    Mine won't even rotate now. So I have not scientific calculator. Apple support recommends backup and restore.

    iOS software used to be so bullet proof, but iOS 8 is a dog. It's like working with windows. I wish I could downgrade. My wife's phone is at iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there. it works better than mine.

  • How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

    How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

    You cannot do two different simultaneous VISA writes over a serial bus. There is a single rx line on the pc's com port and a single rx line on the instrument. You only hope is if the instrument allows you to chain commands and the reception of the carriage return triggers the instrument to implement both at the same time. Maybe you can send CTS01 and CTS02 separated by a space or comma. The manual should tell you if that's possible or maybe you need to ask the manufacturer.

  • IOS 8.1.2 Ipad mini 2 Laging and slower screen rotation

    I have just updated my brand new iPad mini 2 with IOS 8.1.2 and the screen rotation became slower ,at the lock screen it became more  obvious it takes 1-5 seconds to rotate and the "slide to unlock" slider animation is freezing and lagging ,at the application screen takes 1-3 seconds ,the problem goes when I restart the device ,How Can I solve this problem .

    Hi there farahatology,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into general performance issues with your iPad mini. One thing you may want to try, to rule out software issues, is restoring your iPad to factory settings as shown in the article linked below.

  • IOS 8.3 and the auto rotation of the screen problem?

    I upgraded to IOS 8.3 and the auto rotation of the screen has stopped working on my iPad Air 2, has anyone else got this problem?

    By Control Centre I meant swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up Control Centre.  In there you will find the rotation lock symbol (a padlock with a circular arrow round it).  Make sure that is turned OFF

  • How do I fix my iPad screen rotation since the iOS 7 upgrade?

    How do I fix my iPad screen rotation since the iOS 7 upgrade?
    Since the upgrade, my screen orientation does not change based on the iPad's current position. It is often upside-down?
    Anyone else have a similar issue? If no, how did you fix it?
    Thanks, Jennifer

  • After upgrade to IOS 4 screen rotation doesn't work.

    I just upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to IOS 4 and the screen doesn't rotate with any apps when I turn the iphone 90 degrees to the horizontal. Any fixes anyone knows of? Thanks

    Update on my particular issue:
    When I open an app that responds to screen rotation (photos, safari), hold my phone on its side and then shake up down very hard, then the screen will rotate. If I tip it back up into portrait orientation the screen still doesn't rotate. But if I shake the phone hard in that orientation, the screen will rotate.
    So maybe I've got hardware issues.

  • HT4085 i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7.  did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?

    When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
    You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
    And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure.

  • IPad iOS 7 screen rotation

    Ever since the ios7 update the screen rotation on my iPad has stopped working. Any tips or help?

    Are you sure that the screen isn't locked? You do not see the padlock icon in the upper right corner? 
    If the screen isn't locked, reboot the iPad. 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.

  • What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

    ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
    first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and  lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
    the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly....  come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

    Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB.  It's intermittent.  Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
    The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
    Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off).  Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
    This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8.  I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
    UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

  • Screen rotation not working in iso 5.0.1 ver

    Screen rotation is not working in ios 5.0.1 ver in ipad2 with 3g please help

    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. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    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.

  • Can I turn off screen rotation?

    I would like to know if I can turn off screen rotation espicially in music.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Unfortunately, you cannot with a 2G iPod touch, and, if your info is correct at the bottom of your post, not with iOS 3. This was a feature for iOS 4, but again, even if you had iOS 4, 2G's weren't given that feature for whatever reason.

  • IOS7 screen rotation :in app smooth - homescreen not so

    I just noticed that the screen rotation isn't as smooth as before on the homescreen since IOS 7 .
    But within an app the rotation is still smooth.
