IPhone 6/iOS 8 Portrait Rotation Lock

Hey All,
Just got my iPhone 6 today, and the first thing I noticed was that the screen will not rotate. I tried the usual by going to the control center, but the Portrait Rotation Lock was already in a disabled state. I toggled on and then back off, still no luck. Tried powering down and back on, still no luck.
Is there something obvious I'm missing?

I have the same problem. Portrait orientation lock is OFF and the screen will not rotate on ANYTHING. I have a new iphone 6 so I don't know if it is a glitch in the phone or IOS 8. But from reading the posts sound like its a problem with the new IOS. Apple needs to get a fix out immediately as this will cause a lot of buzz on such an important feature not working. Not to mention, how it is even possible for the new IOS and phone to be released with this being missed.

Thank you, razmee209! I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off. Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

IPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8

iPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8.
Phone was fine before the upgrade, iOS 8.1 did not fix the issue.
Have done a factory reset at Genius bar and they say it's a hardware issue and have gotten this response below:
"Now, when you perform an update to any iOS device many system checks are run to verify that all components are working as they should. This is part of the firmware update process. When these checks are run sometimes issues are detected, even if all seemed to be running well previously. When this happens one of two things can occur. Either the hardware will be deactivated completely, or it will be locked in a state of use so that the device can still be used. In the case of the gyroscope for screen rotation, the firmware locks in place so that while not perfect, the device can still remain on some functioning level. This is what appears to have happened when you updated. The software itself did not cause any failure, but it detected a currently upcoming issue and prevented it from becoming worse."
All I want is a replacement but they want me to pay £199 since it's out of warranty.
Anyone have the same issue?

If the device is out of warranty you must pay the out of warranty replacement fee to have your iPhone replaced. If the phone was still under warranty the phone would have been replaced at no charge.

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).

Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
Thanks in advance.

WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
They are not connected.
Mute and rotation lock are independent. However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.

Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

Which iOS version is the iPhone running?

IPad rotation lock in iOS 4.2, is it gone?

The iPad rotation lock disappeared from its original location in favor of a mute button on the iPad when Apple released iOS 4.2 for the iPad on November 22, 2010.
Apple has acknowledged the workaround in the knowledgebase:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
This has caused much consternation, and while the forums do offer user to user help, it generally can be frowned upon, when people rant about issues that no one on the forum has any direct control over. If you desire this feature to be returned to the current mute button, or an easier downgrade path, please submit feedback to:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I'm an end user myself, and while I'm not happy about the change, all I can do is inform others how to work around it.
Thank you.

November 22nd, 2010, the rotation lock functionality shifted from the slider next to the volume control, to a similar function on the iPhone iOS 4.2, as the iPhone and iPad operating systems were brought together. Apple documents the change here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If people desire the iPad to have a single hardware switch for rotation of screen display with rotation of the iPad orientation again, there is this feedback page:

Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

My wifi disconnect from iphone 4g ios 7.0.3 when locked.

when my iphone 4G ios 7.0.3 is locked my wifi connection disconnects and i can't get notifications from facebook,skype and twitter and when i switched on my iphone wifi connects again and the issue is with my ipad mini ios 7.0.3 also...!!

So is your phone TURNED OFF, or is it just in sleep?
Like wjosten stated, if it is switched off, nothing will update.
If it is in sleep, it should still receive updates, even if it is not persistently connected to WIFI.
It should at least connect every 15 or 30 minutes to fetch mail, and connect when someone sends an iMessage.
Facebook & Twitter should update when notifications come in.
This is even if it is not plugged in.
I keep my phone in front of me at work all day NOT plugged in, and I get notifications, emails, iMessages as they come in. I'm not saying my phone is persistently connected to WIFI, but it does connect periodically.

Hi. I have an iphone 3gs ios vers 4.1 it was locked to Vodafone but I had them unlock it. Can I update to ios vers 6 and will it still be unlocked. Most apps need vers 4.3 or higher to download. Thanks

Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse anything I may say that sounds a bit stupid but I am not very technically minded.
I have got an iPhone 3gs ios version 4.1. The phone was locked to Vodafone and I asked them to unlock it which they did. I connected the phone to iTunes and it said congratulations your phone is now unlocked. My new Tesco sim card was accepted and the phone works fine. I have tried to download some apps but they all seem to need a higher version of the ios. iTunes says there is an update for my phone ios version 6. I need to know if I update my phone to this version will my phone still be unlocked and also will the phone continue to work properley. Hope someone can help.
Thanks DaveB

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ? By the way, I do not have the "back up now" option in Setting / iCloud.. Help anyone ?

Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, swipe left to right, far left is the orientation lock button, tap on/off. Tap home button when finished.

Is there rotation lock for documents in Adobe Reader for iOS?

I'm using Adobe Reader 10.6 on iOS 6.1.3. My Side Switch is assigned for mute function and thus using it for rotation lock is too complicated.

If you are using the switch for a mute function, then double-click on the home button and swipe right. The button on the left locks the rotation.
