IPad's auto-rotation frequently stops working.

Hi there, my iPad's auto-rotation frequently stops working and the only way I can get the screen to rotate gain, is to reboot. It used to be once in while but now happens every day which is very frustrating. What can I do to stop this? Thanks, Siobhan

I know you already stated that you have to reboot, but make sure you're doing it this way. I've found some that do it differently and the results can be different.
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Why did my auto rotate feature stop working in only my text screen?

It started doing this on it's own.

Check to see if the rotation lock is on. Right here.

for ipad,
if you go to settings-General
You can select between using the side switch to lock rotation or mute. If you select one mute, then the lock rotation icon will show up in the control center. If you select lock rotation, then the mute will show up. THe side switch is then used for the other option.

Dock Auto-Hiding always stops working

This has become very frequent. I do not know if it is conflicting with something else I have done similar to the Stuffit bug (when stuffit crashes finder on a right click every 5 clicks or so) .
My dock just simply will not re-appear. I normally go to Utilities, Activity Monitor then quit the dock process which will reload it.
Does anyone know why my dock stops working properly so often? Anyone else have a similar issue with the dock auto-hide feature stops working (it simply does not reappear on mouse over).
I use an external dell monitor, a wacom intuos 3 6x11 tablet and an e-sata express card if those addons could attribute to the problem.
Thanks in advance!

Does the problem go away without these devices connected?

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
* Enable AssistiveTouch
Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
*Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

Blackberry Torch 9810 auto-rotating not working !

Hello guys my friend just bought a Blackberry Torch 9810 few weeks ago , only two weeks I think.
And yesterday she found out that the auto-rotating doesn't work - that is the first time she tried to rotate the phone because she want to stream a video.
Hard or Soft reset has been done , reboot has been done , sliders not open , no rotation lock apps has been installed.
Is this the sensor problem ? I mean , the phone is like brand new and just bought two weeks and the sensor got problem so fast ?
If anyone knows that exact and working solution please help ~
Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

It could be...any device designed, built, and operated by humans is subject to a defect rate greater than zero. But, at an internet distance, it is of course impossible to provide an actual diagnosis, especially if the problem indeed is hardware. Only in hand evaluation by a qualified technician can truly diagnose a hardware problem.
Good luck and let us know!

IPhone sensor ( auto rotate ) Doesn't work !!

Hello
I bought an Iphone 4S-16G last week and I understood that on of my Iphone sensor ( auto rotate ) doesn't work it means when I landscape my iphone my messages or photos or in a games doesn't rotate , Now what should I do ?
I already restored and turned off and turned on and checked rotation option in portrate oriention by double clicking but it didn't work .
Please Help me .

oops my bad, you did say exactly that you had tried that. Sorry. Also you already Restored too. Only thing I could add, is to Restore as New iPhone, at end of Restore when prompted Set Up as New iPhone. And then see if better. Anyway, iPhone 4S has full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Personas Rotator has stopped working, again

Envy x2 auto-rotate does not work, after upgrading to windows 10. And touchpad gestures

I have installed the latest HP Support Assistant for windows 10 and I have installed the updates Intel Virtual Button DriverHP System Event Utility Updates failed to install without giving reason: Intel Serial I/O driver Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver In display settings I have checked the box of "Allow the screen to auto-rotate" In Windows Update I have updated with Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3074678)Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3074676)Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3081424) In Device Manager under Sensors HID Sensor Collection V2, working properlySdo Sensor V2, working properly I have done deleting these devices and reinstalling them In User Account I have created a new user with password. Auto-rotate did not work in that user But all these have not worked. Please find a solution for me. About the TouchPad gesture: swipping inside from the left use to switch app, now does not work.swipping inside from the right use to bring out charm bar/ action centre, now does not work

Yes. I found the answer here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Envy-x2-13-j020CA-Windows-10-Auto-Rotate-Autorotate-now/m-p/5212887#M115445I've tried replacing the driver on Sdo Sensor V2 device with the Simple Device Orientation Sensor and rotation works just like it did on 8.1.For the record - Sdo Sensor v2 reports the device orientation continiously, and Simple Device Orientation Sensor reports it only when the orientation changes. Must be a Windows bug then.

Screen rotation has stopped working on my Ipad 3. How do i rectify?

My screen roation has stopped working. It stays on the landscape setting all the time.
Its not the screen lock or the mute button.
I've completed a hard reset, reset to factory settings and updated the recent download and nothing is curing the problem.
If anybody else has experienced this or knows how to rectify my problem your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

IPad Retina sound frequently stops working

I have an iPad Retina with iOS 8.1.2
Regularly the sound on my iPad will stop working. Lately it's been happening when I plug in headphones. I will lose sound to everything; apps, music, videos, clicks. It will often take multiple hard resets to get the sound back. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening. It happens often enough that it is problematic. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello Tekimj,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the sound cuts out with headphones. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your headset isn't working - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario
