IPhone 4S screen rotates strangely in email app

iPhone 4S screen rotates strangely in email app.
The top-most status bar rotates (which shows the...
Signal reception, time, etc.)
But the rest of screen does not rotate. (Email body)

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Why won't my iPhone 4 screen rotate and why do my apps launch upside down?

Hi, I've had my iPhone 4 for maybe a month now and it's been working completely fine until today some problems developed.
1. My screen won't rotate when using apps, text, etc. even though I have screen rotation unlocked.
2. When opening some of my apps (example: Cleverbot, Bejeweled) they launch upside down for some reason, but only when I have screen rotation unlocked. If I lock screen rotation they launch upright.
P.S. Screen rotation and the apps were working completely fine up until today all of a sudden they stopped working right and I have no idea what I could have done to cause it.

To be precise:
Check to see if Screen Lock is ON, then turn it OFF. Press Home Button twice quickly > scroll new bottom row to the right > Tap Screen Lock icon on left side.
NOT the little icon at the top of the screen.

After I upgraded my Iphone 4 to iOS 6 my email app won't open.

Can anyone tell me how to fix my iphone 4 so that the email app will open? It opens to a blank, white screen for about a minute then closes.

There is no supported method to downgrade iOS.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPhone 6 screen rotates to landscape without me physically moving my iPhone

HI I noticed that my iPhone 6 keeps rotating to landscape without me moving my iPhone, for example if I'm on safari and I get a banner notification it rotates to landscape automatically, also if I click on a photo on Twitter iOS app the photo opens in landscape (even though the photo is clearly a portrait)... no I don't have the rotate lock on...
I Don't think the iPhone 6 screen should jyay rotate to landscape without me moving physically the iPhone to landscape view... Also the worst part is that when It does that as much as I move my iPhone it won't get to portrait view back again, unless I close everything or if I turn the lock rotate screen on, then it will go back to Portrait...
What can I do? Is it just me or is it an ios 8.0.2 bug?
thanks!

The thinner the phone and the bigger the screen, the more delicate the phone
But the iPhone is not the only device that has those problems when getting dropped.
Buying a shockproof case could solve this, although I have read posts where even those cases did not help.

6 Plus: Screen rotation for pre-installed apps

Having a bit of an argument on this one with the fiance, so some input would be greatly appreciated:
With the Phone app on the iPhone 6 Plus, is the screen supposed to rotate or not? My fiance called Apple Support and was told that it was supposed to. However, I chatted with Apple Support several hours later and was told that some apps on the 6 Plus, including the phone app, do not rotate.
So which one is it? Personally, I'm satisfied with the answer that I got, but the fiance isn't since she was told otherwise by a different Apple Support person.
Thanks.

I've also experienced this same problem using snapseed. It's really frustrating to use the app.

My iPhone's screen is unresponsive when emailing a photo from the camera roll

Hello all, first time here, and I have an odd issue with my iPhone 5, running iOS 6.1.4
If I go to my camera roll and select a photo, then go and select "mail" from the options, it brings up the typical email message(I use gmail)
but if I go to tap the address section, it takes 5-6 taps to get the phone to bring up the keyboard to enter an address. The weirdest part is,
if I go into my email and start a message normally, it only takes the 1 tap to get the phone to bring up the keyboard for the address. I have
tried to reproduce this in other apps, and it appears to only happen when I email a photo from the camera roll.
Any ideas? Maybe a backup/restore? Thanks in advance.

Restored as new, did not restore from a backup. Set up my gmail account, took a test photo and tried to email it, and problem persists. Guess it must be a hardware thing, just so weird it only happens in the camera roll and not in regular email.
Thanks for the advice and help everyone!

IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times. I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position). I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back. This is very annoying.
I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos. Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use. It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located. (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

Screen rotation locked iphone 5 s

My iphone 5s will not come off the "locked rotation" I've tried all the forum tricks still nothing! Please help!

Hi ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your screen will not rotate as expected, try these troubleshooting steps:
Not all iOS apps are designed to rotate. Some may use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen does not rotate as expected while using the calculator app, continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, restart your iOS device.
If the screen remains locked, back up and restore your device.
If the display orientation still will not change when rotating your device, follow these troubleshooting steps.
You can find the article with these steps here:

Is iPhone email app or GMail web app better for gmail?

i'm a new iPhone user. i'm have a gmail account which i use almost exclusively through a web browser (i haven't synced it with Mail.app on my MacBook). setting up the iPhone i've used the default email app on the iPhone to check gmail (via POP). it seems to have started at the very first email i ever received 2 years ago and be downloading them in 50-message-at-a-time chunks. independently, i checked it via safari and used the iPhone Gmail web app (hoping that's the right term) which seems to have a fair amount of additional options (labels etc.).
has anyone got any guidance as to which is a better option?

I've used both but tend to stick with the Mail app so I can access both my mail accounts together. It's really up to you as to which you like better. You should change your GMail to IMAP instead of POP though... much better email handling and you'll never lose any emails.

I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS. How can I transfer all my apps and data to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. If I do a restore of the iphone 3GS I only get the 3GS apps (i.e. no facetime)

I have just bought a new iphone 4 as an upgrade to my iphone 3GS. How can I transfer all my apps including saved levels in games etc. and data and folders to the new iphone 4 and keep facetime etc on the new iphone 4. When I have done this for someone else they got all their data etc but lost the Face Time App and teh iphone 4 looked like the iphone 3 screen.

There is no FaceTime app for the iphone, FaceTime is built into the iOS. Follow the directions here:

Iphone 4 screen keeps rotating when closing apps

It only started a few days ago but it's starting to get on my nerves. My iPhone 4 screen keeps rotating when I go to close an app, and it rotates back when I go back to the home screen.
I don't know why it's doing it, but was wondering if anyone did know. And if so how to fix it?
Thanks a bunch!

It's fixed nevermind..

TS3899 My iPhone & iPad mail is locked - Press mail app, the screen starts mail, freezes and bounces back to main menu. The fault occurred whilst opening a draft email created in the 'Mail 2 Group' app. Hard reset/reset all/restore backup have no effect -

I installed the Mail 2 Group App on my iPAD, created an email which I saved to the 'Draft' folder, with something over 300 of my contacts in the bcc. On returning to this email, again in my iPad, the screen locked in mail for a few seconds and bounced bak to the main menu. This repeated on my iPhone, on which I have been carrying out my own checks - this includes deleting the Yahoo account, hard reset (red cross and two buttons), restoring a backup and Reset All in settings.
I'm stuck !!

Sending a message with that many addressees may have required more RAM than was available. You can clean up RAM as follows:
Double-press the HOME button
Kill each app by flicking its screen image up
When all apps except the Home screen are closed press HOME
Wait about 2 minutes for the shutdowns to finish
Turn the phone off (hold the SLEEP button until "slide to power off" appears, and do so)
Wait another minute
Turn the phone back on by holding the SLEEP button until an Apple logo appears
Now try to send the mail again. Note that you may have an unrelated problem if this works: Many ISPs (Yahoo included) limit the number of email recipients for a single message as a way to combat spam.

Email app won't open. I get blank screen and it immediately force closes. I've rebooted the iPad several times. It still works on my iPhone 5s

Hi Darr4425,
That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?
Thanks,

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.
