IPhone 6 plus doesn't auto rotate on homescreen

Hi All, excuse the daft name I was sick of everything being taken haha
Got the new iPhone 6 Plus for myself and the wifey, mine is fine....the wifey's today doesn't auto-rotate the icons when turned to landscape, yet it did yesterday.

Rotation of springboard on the iPhone 6+ only works in standard zoom. It took me awhile to figure it out. Go to settings ----> Display & Brightness ---->Display Zoom (View) ----> Standard. It will reset the phone, but it should rotate afterwards. In addition, make sure that the autorotate is set to unlock (swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the shortcut functions, portrait or rotate is the padlock symbol - must be off). Hope this helps.

IPhone 6 plus gets stuck in rotation.

SOmetimes my iPhone 6 Plus gets locked in rotation. No matter what I do it won't readjust. I have to lock it to bring it back. When I unlock it either goes back to being upside down or in landscape. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
Running IOS 8.0.2
I t's is also freezing up and is unresponsive at times in any app.

IPhone 6 plus Bluetooth not auto connecting - sometimes

Hi all,
I've seen numerous sites about numerous issues with blutooth on iOS 8 and iPhone 6
But I do not have an issue pairing, that is not what this post is about. I can pair just fine. I can pair to my car just fine. It syncs the contacts just fine. I can play music, use Siri and make phone calls just fine.
BUT; infrequently; something happens to the bluetooth on my iphone 6 Plus. I get in my car an my phone has not connected one day, at random. I look at bluetooth on my phone and it makes no attempt to connect to the car, so I select the car, it thinks about it and then after a while says to make sure it is in range, couldn't connect.
To resolve this; I turn off bluetooth on the iPhone, and turn it back on. Immediately it connects to the car. This works if I do it from the slide up control center also.
Similarly, I've experienced Airdrop just fail to find anyone via bluetooth, until I do the same, Off On bluetooth on the phone and suddenly everyone appears again. Again intermittantly.
What I've Tried.
Restarting phone. Hard restarting phone. Resetting network settings. Unpairing all bluetooth devices and re-pairing (note pairing has nothing to do with airdrop) and many combinations.
Symptoms suggest the bluetooth chip on the iphone has crashed and just isn't receiving anymore.
iPhone 6 plus; latest OS. originally restored from a backup of an iPhone 4S running iOS8. No other issues with device other than wsometimes screen doesnt wake on first press of home button / lock button.
Has anyone experienced this issue? If so did you resolve it? If not do you have plans? This is starting to get annoying enough for me to just return it. My old iphone doesnt have this issue.

I have this problem too. My phone and car (2013 Hyundai Elantra GT) are paired and there's no problem with that. Normally, they automatically connect via Bluetooth when I start the car. However, occasionally, they don't. When I try to manually make them connect (from the phone or the vehicle), the connection fails repeatedly.
I'm not going to do "Reset all Network Settings" on my phone unless it's a last resort and guaranteed fix because I don't want to lose wifi logins to every wifi network I've ever connected to.

Myatt screen too small & doesn't auto-rotate

It's a smartphone app that isn't designed for a smartphone size screen. Please update your myatt app to allow it to auto-rotate, like web pages, for increased readability.

Considering the amount of money we all send AT&T for cell phones, cellular service and U-Verse service, I don't think it's too much to ask that their cell phone apps work properly with their cell phones or that their U-Verse DVRs should include the same frame advance and slow motion features as all of their competitors. (Even cheap VCR & DVD players include frame advance and slow motion.)

IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode. Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
 rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
 display dual-paned email
 display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
(It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
Does this ring a bell?
I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
Thanks!

IPhone 6 Plus keyboard in landscape - can you make keys larger?

Hi,
is it possible to remove the extra keys the iPhone Plus shows on both sides of the keyboard in landscape mode and instead have a larger keyboard with larger keys that takes up the whole screen?
I have large hands/fingers and struggle to type on small screens; hence my disappointment that the iPhone 6 Plus doesn't have larger keys than the iPhone 5 or 6. I have not been able to find a setting to change this. I have also looked at third party apps but not found anything conclusive yet.
Many thanks,
Phil

The keyboard size cannot be changed. You could try a stylus pen.

Auto-rotation

How do I turn off auto-rotation when opening a file? Photoshop Elements 9.

It doesn not auto-rotate on its own. It reads from the image metadata and based on orientation opens it. Are you seeing with all the images. How do you see them in Paint or other image viewing apps? How about Windows Explorer or folder thumbs.
Try rotating one to correct one and save and then open in Editor.
Thanks,
Garry

IPhone sensor ( auto rotate ) Doesn't work !!

Hello
I bought an Iphone 4S-16G last week and I understood that on of my Iphone sensor ( auto rotate ) doesn't work it means when I landscape my iphone my messages or photos or in a games doesn't rotate , Now what should I do ?
I already restored and turned off and turned on and checked rotation option in portrate oriention by double clicking but it didn't work .
Please Help me .

oops my bad, you did say exactly that you had tried that. Sorry. Also you already Restored too. Only thing I could add, is to Restore as New iPhone, at end of Restore when prompted Set Up as New iPhone. And then see if better. Anyway, iPhone 4S has full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

IPhone 6 Plus camera rotation problem - any way to fix it?

I took 7 photos this evening with my new iPhone 6 plus. All were taken in landscape mode. All were taken standing, holding the camera in landscape position pointed straight ahead or at a slight tilted down angle to shoot something relatively low in height.
3 of the photos came out oriented correctly. But 4 came out rotated incorrectly. And there doesn't seem to be a way to correct the rotation in the Photos app, is there?
Why don't the photos consistently turn out rotated correctly in the Photos app?
In the Camera app itself, I looked at each one after shooting via the little window that appears after taking each photo. In all those views the photos were oriented correctly.
A bug? Anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks,
doug

Thanks for the hint about the rotate. AppleCare didn't know about that when I did a support chat with them on this issue.
What they had be do was "reset all settings."
Side-note: They said doing that would not delete any data, but it took like an hour to get things back where they were because all sorts of things were lost: wallpaper, my touch id fingerprint, wi-fi password, Messages addresses, the name of my iPhone - and at least a dozen other settings. They could have warned me.
Anyway, I only did one test of 7 landscape photos after that, taken at various tilts, and they all came out correctly rotated. So maybe that fixed it. Or maybe it just didn't show up in the 7 photos I took. Time will tell. Worth a try? But just know you have to redo all your settings.

IPhone 6 Plus screen rotate glitch

Has anyone noticed that the home screen doesn't rotate and the native mail app doesn't switch to 2 columns IF you have the phone set on the "zoomed" view vs. the standard view?
Try it... set your iPhone 6 Plus to zoomed view (Settings > Display & Brightness > View > Zoomed). Does your home screen rotate? Do you have two columns in mail when you rotate to landscape?
Hopefully Apple sends out a bug patch a.s.a.p. I like using the "Zoomed" view, but don't like that it hinders the screen rotate function of the home screen and native mail app.
Anyone else notice this?

I also found that the two column view is only works in standard view. I just got my iPhone 6+ a couple of days ago. What are the advantages of the zoomed view?

Since my last software update the auto rotation on both my ipad air and my iphone 5c won't work. I have tried everything, including; checking the auto-lock - it isn't on lock. I've checked the settings in the Control Centre and they're as they should be.

Since my last update the auto rotation on both my ipad & my iphone has stopped working. I've done all the usual stuff to correct it but no joy. I've reset, rebooted, turned off then back on, checked all settings including those for the side switch and everything is as it should be except the rotation still doesn't work. There are no open apps, movies or videos that could be locking the screen so I am now totally stumped.
Any suggestions please?

The fact that gs.apple.com was in your host file to begin with is an indicator that your computer was used to jailbreak or hack an iOS device at some point in the past. You can not get help here for a hacked or jailbroken device. If your phone was hacked or jailbroken, Apple won't touch it.
RecBoot and Tinyumbrella are hacking tools.
Google "iPhone DFU mode".
Try restoring in DFU mode. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at the genius bar and see what Apple has to say about it.

Auto rotate on iphone 5

It seems like the auto rotate function on the iphone 5 is not very responsive. It's unlocked, so that is not it. Anyone else having this issue?

you do it from control centre

IPhone: Where to find good Documentation and Samples for Auto-Rotate?

So I'm starting to get into the auto rotation features for my iPhone apps. I've spent a couple hours looking for some apple documentation and searching online, but I'm not finding any "definitive" guide to discuss the process. Any recommendations would be great!
Specifically, I'm trying to learn about the following:
- I have already implemented auto-rotation, but how do I setup my view so when rotated, it adjust the UI to take advantage of landscape mode. (i.e. I want to add extra features, and re-position some things)
- I also would like to the option within a couple views, that when rotated, goes to an entirely new view.
Thanks in advance!

I generally find that vector drawing programs are better for drawing toolbar icons and the like, as vector drawings are easier to tweak and adjust later. I've had great success with VectorDesigner in my own apps; it has a shallow learning curve and a solid basic feature set, although it can be quirky at times. (It also doesn't play all that well with certain development tools: don't try to add VectorDesigner files to Xcode projects, and make sure you zip them before you add them to a Subversion or CVS repository. VectorDesigner files are packages--like application bundles--and those tools don't play well with packages.)
If you want to go a little higher end, Illustrator is the Photoshop of vector drawing, but like Photoshop you'll probably find it very difficult to start out with.
You'll also need a raster graphics editor to tweak exported images. I use Pixelmator for this, but Photoshop will work just as well.

Iphone 6 plus rotation for camera or games now broken since recent patch iOS 8.1.2

Anyone else having this issue?

Hey there Smoothasice,
If your screen is still not rotating as it should, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check for in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
Get more help
If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
Restart your iOS device.
If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
