IPhone 4S home screen "only in Portrait Mode" come on thats "Ridiculous"

Come on this is simple!! I want my home page to be in Landscape mode.
Shouldn't the Great Iphone 4s be able to start in Landscape Mode...
Shouldn't this be a choice, Really!!! seems Kinda Simple.
BlackBerry doesn't force you to use Portrait.

IPhone 6 Plus lock home screen only in portrait?

Hey, I wonder if there is a way to lock the home screen only to make it stay in portrait but everything still goes to landscape in the apps?
The portrait lock locks everything and I don't want that, I only want to disable the rotation in homescreen.

I want the same thing. But if you don't mind text and icons being a little bigger, I think you can turn on the zoom setting under display & brighteness, I think that will stop the home screen from rotating without locking everything else.

At the top of my iPhone 4s,(on the home screen) only the battery life is showing but on any other screen, it is normal. How do I fix it?

have you tried resetting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone restarts?

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.

The green PHONE icon has dropped from the bottom of the home screen and isn't among the icons that I have installed. I can get to it by searching but how do I get it back on the bottom of the home screen?

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?

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

How do you edit the template image that appears at the top only in portrait mode?

I am using a customized version of the iBooks Author template which has the space image. I have replaced the images for the book cover, chapter and section. But I noticed that when you rotate the ipad to view the entire TOC, the original space image is still there. How can I edit the template image that appears at the top of the Table of Contents only when you rotate the ipad in portrait view?

I just tried w/that template - switched to Portrait mode...tapped once to select that image....cut - gone. Switched to Landscape...not there. Back to portrait...still gone.
What process did you use?
Can you repeat your issue with a fresh book?

Help! Blackberry Curve 8530 won't go to Home screen only stays at carrier screen!

The other day I updated my Quick Pull app. I forgot to reset the times in which i wanted it to reboot. Last night I remembered and set the time. I normally set it for 3, but since it was 3 it wouldn't be able to reboot until this evening. After I was done with my phone, I rebooted it manually by going to the app and clicking reboot. My battery was also low in the red so I stuck the charger in it. When I woke up this morning my phone was dead, if had fell on the floor and the charger came out. I put the charger back in a waited a little while for it to charge. When it came on, it only went to the Cricket screen, but would not go to the home screen. I took the battery out multiple times, I waited patiently, yet my phone is still stuck on the cricket screen.. Is there anyway to reset it so that it can work again?

Please try this first:
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

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.
