IPhone 5 texting in landscape mode

Typing is fine in upright mode but, when the phone is in landscape, the texting becomes non-responsive. I can get a few letters out in a sentence but it's clearly not working the way it should. I'm pretty sure it's time to take it in but thought there might be someone on here with a fix suggestion.

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

Keyboard freeze when texting in landscape mode

I'm finding that my keyboard may freeze when texting in landscape mode. If I turn the phone upright, I can resume texting. If I type a few words and return to landscape mode, everything seems to work fine. This does not happen all of the time when texting in landscape mode...only on occasion. I have not had any other issues using the landscape keyboard in another application. Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions? Using the iPhone 6 with iOS 8.

Yep this is an ios8 issue. Never had it with ios7 or previous.
This his is the most buggy iOS to date.
Come on, Apple. Fix this.
THis is with iphine 5 as well.

Texting in landscape mode

I wanted to know if there is any talk of the iPhone being able to text in landscape mode? I found out on phone scoop that you are able to use landscape mode when using Safari and sending e-mail. Thanks.

Sorry-I didn't see the answer to my ? when I searched the discussion pages. Is the answer No-you cannot text in landscape mode? Thanks.

IPhone wont switch to landscape mode

My iPhone wont switch to landscape mode when I rotate the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

You likely have the rotation lock on.
This is covered in the manual:

I am having the same problem with a new phone. Is yours new? I was planning to take this one back to the store where I purchased it. I updated itunes and phone software, didn't help, so I'm thinking it's a hardware problem.

I have been experiencing periodic loss of touch screen response with my iPhone 6 when in landscape mode. Flipping to portrait then back to landscape usually corrects it, but at times I need to close and reenter the app.

Hi McGannahanSkjellyfetti,
If you are experiencing difficulties with touchscreen response on your iPhone I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode

For the last couple of days my iPhone has been stuck in landscape mode. No matter what I do it will not switch out of landscape. I've tried shutting it off, closing apps and even restored my phone but whenever I go into an app it automatically switches to landscape.
Anyone else have this problem????
Thanks

Double click the home button scroll over to the audio controlls there is a button on the left that looks like a reload button that locks the orientation

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode after iOS 6 upgrade

I used to have a fully operational iPhone 4 until yesterday, when I upgraded to iOS 6.
Many apps including Mail, Safari, Contacts, Calendar and several third-party apps have been stuck in landscape mode since then.
I have tried to:
- reset
- restore from back-up
- restore to factory settings,
without success.
At the end of the day, I am not even sure whether this problem relates to iOS 6 or if it is just a coincidence. Anyway, the only workaround I found is to lock autorotate in portrait mode, which is not acceptable in the long run.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Pb solved!
Yesterday, my iPhone ran out of battery and powered off automatically. When I restarted it after a full battery load cycle, the iPhone was able to autorotate again.
So far, so good
Hope it helps someone else.

Should Apple let the whole Iphone be used in landscape mode Ala the Ipad?

i personlly like landscape mode better and would like the whole UI in the home menu flip like the ipad does.

Tell Apple at the link below.

When my iPhone 4 is in landscape mode is it possible to navigate the Music from song to song?

I like to listen to music on my iPhone in "shuffle" mode during the day at work. I like the look of it in landscape mode but I can't fast forward through songs if I want to.

I couldn't believe I was searching so long for such an app but I eventually found two: CarMusic and GestureMusic (I use the CarMusic app more often). Both of these apps have the position scrubber in landscape view. In addition, with these apps you control the music with "gestures", so to skip a song, you swipe your finger across the screen (can be done for both forward skip or backward skip, just swipe the other way). And to pause the song you simply tap the screen anywhere (tap again to resume). This definitely makes driving and listening more safe.
In the small chance that Apple actually reads these for customer feedback, I'd recommend their own Music app have such functionality. If that's too much to ask for, then at least display a regular player in landscape view. Right now the default iPhone Music app shows "Cover Flow" in landscape view which is neat and all, but there should be an option to switch it to view a regular player as well so we can skip forward or back, etc. I've read forums as far back as 6 years ago about people requesting the same thing, but nothing done about it yet.

How to make sure text in landscape mode appeared in portrait?, How to make sure text in landscape mode appeared in portrait?

I think a few pictures speak a thousand words. I try to get creative and design some pages in landscape mode.
This is how the TOC looks like in landscape. As you can see there is a chapter and many pages. I didn't use sections to make sure that they don't appeared as a list in TOC page.
This is how Chapter page looks like.
But when viewed in portrait mode. nothing appeared.
How shall I make sure that at least the text in chapter page goes there?
Thanks!

If I add a text box, it does not seem that inline is an option.
When I create the chapter page, the bottom part is empty, but I do not know how to add text. If I add a text box, it is not inline.
I hope to be able to add inline text which appeared at the bottom, possible?

When texting using landscape mode with phones it becomes really sluggish

is anybody else having this issue? i have big fingers so its easy for me to text when phone its on landscape mode since virtual keyboard is bigger, but when i do the phone takes forever to process what im writting, is there anything i can do to fix this issue? thanks.

I am having the same issue. Was hoping it was just a simple fix, or that maybe I could go exchange my phone and the problem would be solved. Seems like such a preventable problem on a phone such as this one. I can't text too well without switching to landscape mode, since the buttons are larger, but it's SUPER lagging! I can feel it stalling, and most of the time I have typed a couple of words and have to pause and wait for the words to show up on screen!! Reeeeeally hoping this can be resolved!

Safari crashing on iPhone 6 plus and landscape mode.

safari is crashing when up the app. Safari crashes in landscape mode. Does anyone have a solution.

Happens to me too on my iPhone 4s and iPad Air. It has something to do with Safari and specific websites, does not happen in Chrome. Here's another site that crashes Safari in landscape:

My iphone is stuck in landscape mode. How do I get it unstuck?

For apps that automatically adjust between portrait and landscape, it is always on landscape. How do I get it to rotate when I change position?

Double press the HOME key, then scroll the bottom ribbon to the right until the rotation lock appears at the left end.
