IPhone 4 auto rotate

Help!!!!!! My phone will not auto rotate. Any idea how to get it to work?

Do you have rotation lock enabled? A rotation lock icon will appear in the status bar next to the battery charge icon when rotation lock is enabled. This looks like a circular arrow around a padlock. If so:
1. Double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.
2. Swipe right until the last set of icons is displayed in the multitasking bar (these will include play/pause and skip buttons for iPod or Pandora).
3. The furthest left icon looks like a circular arrow - touch this icon to enable or disable rotation lock on the iPhone.

  • Can you turn off iPhone auto-rotate?

    Can you turn off iPhone auto-rotate? I never used my phone sideways at all, and now emails and text messaging keeps rotating side ways at the slight angle my phone goes in. Its been really bothering me ever since updating to the 3.0 OS and I want to downgrade to stop this auto rotation.

    As these two say, you are going to have to try really hard to keep that phone upright.

  • [iPhone] auto-rotation problems

    I'm having a really tough time getting auto-rotation to work properly.
    My biggest problem is most of my application only works in Portrait mode, but there is one view (with subviews) and a controller that handles landscape (it displays an image). When I rotate the device to landscape mode while this view is up, then cause this controller to pop back to the previous controller (a navigation controller), the rest of the interface is now in landscape mode instead of portrait, which is messing up my other portrait only views. I expected that popping my landscape-supporting controller would revert the interface to portrait, since none of the other controllers support landscape.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
    And is there a way to "force" the device into landscape mode when a landscape image is selected? See I have a image picker controller (portrait), and when I pick a landscape image I'd ideally like to just have my image viewer (and subviews) show up in landscape mode - like how Movie Player does it.
    I know this is possible, but I haven't figured out how yet.

    I am having the same problem that you have descibed below. Did you ever find a solution? I have tried all types of possible solutions but cannot get the previous view to revert back to portrait as well.

  • IPhone auto rotation problem

    I am trying to create an app with multiple views. I have a seperate nib file and view controller for all the views. I have created methods in the app delegate that call up the different views as well as add a transition. I then call that method from the view controller subclasses. My problem is that I want the device to only support landscape mode in some views, and portrait in the others. I modified the -BOOL should autorotate to interface orientation, but, the only view that rotates correctly is the first view loaded. The subsequent ones launch in portrait mode and will only flip into landscape if the device is rotated into portrait then landscape, and sometimes I have to repeat this. Am I missing something here?

    I guess I'll need to build a test bed to be of any more help. I still suspect this project would be easier for you if you changed your app's structure to use a single root view that remained over your window for the life of the program. In fact, the Utility template might be a good starting point for you. You might use the MainView for your splash screen, and the FlipsideView for your GameView, replacing the info button with whatever is calling exitSplash and removing or modifying the FlipsideView's Nav Bar depending on where you want to go from the GameView. Per my previous thread, using the Utility template with landscape views has its own set of problems, but at least the comments in my thread would then apply, and others could help you without building a test bed from scratch. In particular, you might want to try xnav's suggestion to start with the Tab Bar Application template which you'll find near the end of that thread.
    One more snippet of code that might be useful to you:
    - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    UIView *rotatingView = rotatingViewController.view;
    return [rotatingView superview] != nil ? YES : interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
    || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown;
    I put the above in my RootViewController.m so that only one of its subviews would rotate into landscape orientation. To avoid using the undocumented setOrientation method of UIDevice, I then ensured that users could only switch away from the rotatingView when the device was in portrait. Of course if you choose to use setOrientation, that would offer you even more flexibility.
    Best of luck on your app!!

  • Since my last software update the auto rotation on both my ipad air and my iphone 5c won't work. I have tried everything, including; checking the auto-lock - it isn't on lock. I've checked the settings in the Control Centre and they're as they should be.

    Since my last update the auto rotation on both my ipad & my iphone has stopped working. I've done all the usual stuff to correct it but no joy. I've reset, rebooted, turned off then back on, checked all settings including those for the side switch and everything is as it should be except the rotation still doesn't work. There are no open apps, movies or videos that could be locking the screen so I am now totally stumped.
    Any suggestions please?

    The fact that gs.apple.com was in your host file to begin with is an indicator that your computer was used to jailbreak or hack an iOS device at some point in the past. You can not get help here for a hacked or jailbroken device. If your phone was hacked or jailbroken, Apple won't touch it.
    RecBoot and Tinyumbrella are hacking tools.
    Google "iPhone DFU mode".
    Try restoring in DFU mode. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar and see what Apple has to say about it.

  • Auto rotate on iphone 5

    It seems like the auto rotate function on the iphone 5 is not very responsive. It's unlocked, so that is not it. Anyone else having this issue?

    you do it from control centre
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

  • IOS 7; iPhone 4S will not auto-rotate

    Just downloaded iOS 7, and my screen will not rotate.
    I checked the control center, and auto-rotate IS unlocked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    My iPHone 4 does auto-rotate when unlocked in control center.  Have you tried to turn the phone off and then on again, and/or reset all settings?  It may be something that simple.

  • IPhone: Where to find good Documentation and Samples for Auto-Rotate?

    So I'm starting to get into the auto rotation features for my iPhone apps. I've spent a couple hours looking for some apple documentation and searching online, but I'm not finding any "definitive" guide to discuss the process. Any recommendations would be great!
    Specifically, I'm trying to learn about the following:
    - I have already implemented auto-rotation, but how do I setup my view so when rotated, it adjust the UI to take advantage of landscape mode. (i.e. I want to add extra features, and re-position some things)
    - I also would like to the option within a couple views, that when rotated, goes to an entirely new view.
    Thanks in advance!

    I generally find that vector drawing programs are better for drawing toolbar icons and the like, as vector drawings are easier to tweak and adjust later. I've had great success with VectorDesigner in my own apps; it has a shallow learning curve and a solid basic feature set, although it can be quirky at times. (It also doesn't play all that well with certain development tools: don't try to add VectorDesigner files to Xcode projects, and make sure you zip them before you add them to a Subversion or CVS repository. VectorDesigner files are packages--like application bundles--and those tools don't play well with packages.)
    If you want to go a little higher end, Illustrator is the Photoshop of vector drawing, but like Photoshop you'll probably find it very difficult to start out with.
    You'll also need a raster graphics editor to tweak exported images. I use Pixelmator for this, but Photoshop will work just as well.

  • My iPhone 6 will not auto rotate after installation of version 8.0.2. The auto rotate lock is off in settings and in the Kindle app, but nothing will go to landscape.

    Since the installation of 8.0.2 my iPhone 6 will not auto rotate in any app. I have locked/unlocked the feature in settings several times using the command bar but to no avail. I read using the Kindle app and it also is locked in portrait whether the lock is on or off.

    Your auto lock got turned on. Swipe up on the screen and tap the upper right icon. This will allow it to work again!
    Actually, the OP tried that (six months ago) and it didn't work. They resolved the issue (six months ago) by updating their system software (six months ago).

  • 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.

  • IPhone 6 plus doesn't auto rotate on homescreen

    Hi All, excuse the daft name I was sick of everything being taken haha
    Got the new iPhone 6 Plus for myself and the wifey, mine is fine....the wifey's today doesn't auto-rotate the icons when turned to landscape, yet it did yesterday.

    Rotation of springboard on the iPhone 6+ only works in standard zoom.  It took me awhile to figure it out.  Go to settings ----> Display & Brightness ---->Display Zoom (View) ----> Standard.  It will reset the phone, but it should rotate afterwards.  In addition, make sure that the autorotate is set to unlock (swipe up from the  bottom of the screen to bring up the shortcut functions, portrait or rotate is the padlock symbol - must be off).  Hope this helps.

  • My iphone 4 photo auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. Please advise how to unlock it.

    My iphone 4 photo/message auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. This function was working perfectly since day 1.
    Please advise how to unlock it.

    Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. You will then find the orientation lock in the top row, last icon on the right. White is on, black is off. Tap and turn it off. If you see the lock symbol, then orientation lock is on, and that is what is keeping it in the portrait mode.

  • GPS Maps Auto-Rotator

    Is there an app to help this app out? It can get a little distracting moving my finger across my phone every 10 seconds to keep up with the blue dot on my map. I LOVE this feature, and all this app needs is an auto-rotator to make it perfect. Is there anything like this already out or coming out soon?

    Not that I'm aware of. There are no routing settings like there are in a dedicated auto turn-by-turn GPS. I see the iPhone GPS/Maps as a mapping program mostly useful for finding things around me and quick access to a map. It's not nearly as good as a dedicated GPS. Hopefully Apple will allow a good turn-by-turn app in the future.

  • Video auto rotate

    Hi
    I fully appreciate the work that has gone into BT Sport, it's a very promising start and I welcome anything that will reduce the strangle hold Sky has on the provision of sport in the UK.
    One question: The auto rotate feature on my iPhone does not work, worse is that when, in wide screen mode, the picture is upside down and won't rotate.  I say upside down, as I hold me phone in my right hand and cup the speaker, so that the sound is directed by my palm towards me.
    Is there a reason why the auto rotation does not work?  What logic was used to decide which way up the picture would be displayed?  Could this be changed?  Could the auto rotate feature be added?
    Many thanks Noel

    Noel,
    Not sure if this is an iphone app problem as my Note 2 auto rotates np at all.
    sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

  • Auto Rotate Disable for Photos ....... Sort-of ..... Trick / Tip

    I have many photos and many are in the wrong Rotation in my Ipod and wanted to disable the Auto-Rotate feature but no luck since Apple forgot to Add the feature to turn it off.......(STUPID APPLE) but no worries, Apple will add it to a future update and charge you for it!.
    But I have found an easy way to show off my photos in the right orientation and disabling/tricking the feature momentarily and Here is how I do it:
    Open the Photo you desire that has the wrong orientation.
    Hold the Ipod/Iphone in the orientation where the Photo is in the right Position,( i.e: if your photo is in landscape while holding it in the upright position.).
    All you have to do now is, with two fingers touch and hold near the bottom of the screen as close to the edge of the Ipod/Iphone as you can, so you can still see 95% of the Photo and then Rotate to the right orientation and there you go! your photo remains and does not Auto Rotate, keep holding until you have shown the photo to your friends.
    All this does is to freeze the photo, simply put, it is thinking you are either enlarging or going to the next photo, it doesn't disable the feature it is simply waiting for you to make a decision.

    As of 10.1.2 we no longer talk about "auto-rotate and center". Page scaling for 1-up output is always registered to the center point, and the new dialog only refers to orientation.
    Ultimately of you want a page to be printed at 100% physical scale, you need to supply users with a PDF that has the correct paper size and margins wide enough to stay within their printer working zones. In that case, the setting for scale and rotate is meaningless, as "fit", "shrink" and "actual" will all equal 100%. If the paper size matches, rotating a page has no bearing on the X/Y position - it's there to handle cases where the document is portrait but the printer tray is landscape, or vice-versa. If for example you open a US Letter portrait page and "force" it to print in landscape to a printer with a portrait feed tray, it is not rotated and squished into the middle of the page - aside from coming out the machine sideways it'll look no different.
