Iphone 4s home screen doesnt rotate

My home screen on the 4s doesn't rotate.  All other apps rotate (rotate lock is not on).  I restored the phone to factory serttings and still have the same issue.  Any ideas?

The home screens are fixed relative to the home button, and phone ear and voice ports.

  • Iphone- I would like my lock and home screens to rotate

    I would like my lock and home screens to rotate on my Iphone 5. Since I charge it at work and the charge port is at the bottom I have to lay it on it's side in my cradle. I'm constantly having to rotate it to view emails and texts. Is this possible?

    No.

  • Ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Email address hacked via iphone. iphone locked home screen displaying my email password! and has been reset. now unable to restore iphone, saying i do not have permission

    Email address hacked via iphone. iphone locked home screen displaying my email password! and has been reset. now unable to restore iphone, saying i do not have permission

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • Hi, my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatedly. if I'm using my phone or in an app it will just go black then light up to the home screen and it does this over and over. Then the power off option will pop up. what should i do

    Hi my iphone 4 home screen keeps flashing on and off repeatdly. I will beonmy phone or in an app and it will go to a black screen and then light up to the home screen. Then the power off option will pop up. I have tried letting it die and recharging it and powering it off neither worked. Does any one have an idea on what this could be or what I can do?

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • IPhone 6 home screen won't rotate

    Just got home with the iPhone 6 and the home screen will NOT rotate! Other apps seem to rotate, just not the home screen.
    I checked the screen lock and it is also not in zoomed mode. I have tried a few restarts with no luck and downloaded the newest IOS update.
    Please help! I was really looking forward to this feature.

    I am having this issue with both my wife's and my new iPhone 6 and it seems to be iOS 8.?? related and does anyone know if Apple plans to issue a OS patch?  The restarts and resets have not resolved this issue and this is our first iPhone, but I am a long term Mac user and the phone should respond like my iPOD 5 or better.
    Do you have the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus?
    Only the iPhone 6 Plus rotates the Home Screen.

  • Brand New Iphone 5s Home Screen display defect

    Here goes my ordeal with my Iphone 5s upgrade
    After waiting in line for over an hour I purchased the Iphone 5s yesterday at Best Buy (Stonebriar, Frisco, TX). Later that evening, I noticed that when the time was 5:36, the home screen display was not showing the digit 6. Instead it showed a blur. I then changed the time manually to 6:36 and then to 6:43 and each time there was a digit 6 the display showed a blur instead. I must note that the phone was sitting in the grass which was a little moist (which I believe was the causing the issue). I immediately went back to the Best Buy location where I purchased the phone and requested a replacement after showing the defect. The store manager wanted me to wait in the line and I refused to do so (they sold me a defective phone so I did not see a reason why I had to go in that line all over again when it was just a replacement!). Anyways, after a tiff with the manager I left that store with my defective phone.
    Next day, I went to the Apple store (Willowbend mall, Plano). I was greeted by genteleman at the entrance of the store who nicely asked if he could help. The moment I told him I suspected my new Iphone 5s was defective he said 'What!!' and made an expression of disbilief. Funny! I was asked to go to another peson who was standing and waving his hand further inside the store. I go to him and explain to him the problem and when I try to demonstrate it does not happen! Oh dear! Luckily I had enough screenshots in store and I showed them all to the store clerk.  He then tells me that he can take the phone in for me and get it 'repaired'! In disbilief I ask him if he meant 'Replaced'? He says no, they will try to repair it first - he further speculates saying they will try a restore or maybe a front glass replacement and that if they still can't fix it, Apple will then replace the phone. In exasperation I tried to explain to him that the problem happened yesterday and then today it can't doesn't seem to happen, while adding that it is a brand NEW phone I purchased less than 24 hours ago and that I still am under the 14 day time-frame. I explain to him kindly that I would not be able to verify the fix (Apple does a restore or even changes the glass and returns me the phone and I must believe that the problem was fixed?? - Hel No!) and its not so nice to hear from Apple that they can't take responsibility for a defective product. He kindly says sorry and explains that it is policy and that they have to try to repair first. Oh how I wish I could've gotten Apple to sign my policy document for my money...sigh..don't work like that! So I left Apple and ran across to Best Buy mobile store asking for a replacement. The guy says Best Buy mother store and Best Buy Mobile store keep there own stock during holidays and he can't help. Sweet! I drive down 10 miles and go to a different Best Buy 'Mother' store and of course I'm asked to stand in the line. I swallow my pride and become a part of the line. My turn comes and again I explain the problem and of course the Best Buy clerk says 'Did you try a restore?' What!! Anyways, after a bit of reasoning (cribbing) with a couple of Best Buy agents, I was able to get them to replace my Iphone 5s (and of course they didn't have a gold color so I had to settle for the space gray..not a big deal though as long as this one is not defective also!)
    So anybody had this display issue? Issue with Apple customer service?
    Rs,
    GH

    Well they offered to do everything they could to work with you on the device....You are right in saying that the offered what they 'could'. Unfortunately what they could was tied by company policy.
    Just like being human there are times things just go wrong- 2 out 2 IPhones 5s in 2 days! I hope people are doing better :-p
    You fought against people at the store level who have /zero/ control over policy and had their hands tied by what theri bosses tell them to do. Agreed. I left instead of fighting. Unfortunately they are the first line of support and a manager maybe as far I'd get. Would love to chat with Steve Jobs but I guess now there is only one way for that :-p
    They not only rushed you to get service to repair the device but you didn't even do any troubleshooting of your own to try to repair it. Now what if a restore had fixed your issue, you would have kept your device, your color, and what you paid for... - I disagree. If you read my original post, the problem happened the same evening I bought the phone. When I went to Apple I was not able to reproduce the issue. So you tell me how do I verify that restore fixed it? Wait and watch? After 14 days I can't even return the phone. The other speculation made by the rep was changing the glass. I would not try that for obvious reasons.
    Why /wouldn't/ you try to repair something before spending your gas/time to replace it the moment something is amiss.
    hmmm..
    Now the 2nd new phone makes a rattling sound. Something is loose inside..I'd rather spend gas/time and return it than get them 'repair' it or give me a refurbished phone! Why? Because I can at this point and still get a new one with possibly no defects(fingers crossed) or I could find a company that makes better quality products :-p

  • Home screen stopped rotating

    Since last update my home screen will not rotate to landscape.  Rotation works in an app.  Any fixes?  Thanks.

    Try a reset, you will not lose any data.
    Reset 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.

  • Iphone 5 home screen enlarged

    Anyone seen your iphone home screen enlarged? Can't see the call icons and on lock screen lock slide visible. Once phone is rebooted, goes back to normal, but happend twice today. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    My iPhone 5s: screen enlarges /  magnifies randomly and won't allow me to scroll enough to see or tap on other icons.  Can't even get to the "slide off" to turn off phone and reboot.
    (Btw, missed my United flight because couldn't get screen to allow me to show the electronic boarding pass for TSA agent.  Will go back to carrying paper copies in future, but disappointed to miss the airline's move to streamline the boarding process.)
    Any suggestions?  Anyone else get this periodoc satanic screen magnification?
    Thanks for any help you might offer!

  • Odd iPhone 6 Home screen behaviour

    I've just got a new iPhone 6. I noticed this odd Home screen. The whole thing has slipped down 2 rows. I found I could repeat this fairly consistently by lightly stroking down the home button. It takes a few attempts but it works eventually. I'm on iOS 8.2. Swiping left (& right) shows the other screens in the same slipped-down manner. Swiping up on the screen puts it back to normal. Any one have any idea what's going on?

    It's a feature called Reachability. It brings the home screens down a bit to make it easier to operate the bigger phones with one hand.  You activate it by double-tapping (not pressing) the home button. You can turn it off if you don't want it by going to Settings-General-Accessibility.

  • Why my Iphone 3GSA Home Screen always Zoom+ automatically?

    I had no idea where and when I had zoom the home screen, and now if i want to see the top one of time and bal life of battery, then I can't see the bottom line of the wording of icon at the lowest...
    I noticed if this situation happen, then my iphone will hang very easily.... Any One can help me to reset the home screen back to normal of 100%?  I think now my screen is at 105% or 110%.  I can't find anywhere that could have adjusted the screen..

    You are accidentally activating the zoom feature.  Double tap with 3 fingers to reset.  Read the User Guide to learn how to deactivate the zoom feature permanently.

  • My iPhone 5 home screen button fell out...

    a couple of months ago my home button started rotating.. I dreaded to see it fall out. But today it finally did - I've had this phone for no more than 10 months and I don't think it's covered with a warranty. What can I do ?!

    ALL iPhones have a one year warranty.

  • IPhone 5S Home Screen icons shifting glitch???

    Just picked up my new 5s yesterday and I'm noticing a horribly annoying glitch where when I click back to the home screen all the icons will shift to the right and will become off center and closer to the edge. It might sound small but it's extremely irritating. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? I've erased and restored my phone probably 3 times already.

    It's a very small difference but if you look at the space between the side of the screen and the icons you can see it. Looks stupid just in a screenshot but when you keep watching it happen it's very irritating.
