IPhone 6 Plus screen rotation issue

The home and lock screens on my wife's iPhone 6 plus rotate.  Can this be shut off?  And if I turn on the screen rotation lock, will it stop rotation of the lock and home screens as well as the regular use screens (i.e. - apps, Safari, etc...)?  Can these two functions (lock and home screen rotation and all other screen rotation) be set independent of each other?

I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.

    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.

  • Galaxy S6 Edge screen rotation issue

    Has anyone else experienced a screen rotation issue on the S6 edge?  My device is locked in portrait mode and will not rotate.  Before you ask, YES SCREEN ROTATION IS TURNED ON.
    I have spoken with both Verizon and Samsung tech support and they didn't have a clue other than swap out my phone.  Doing a google search on S6 screen rotation issues pulls up a few hits with other people reporting the same issue.  I have done 6 factory resets so far and it has not corrected the issue.  I'm convinced this is a software glitch that will someday be fixed (hopefully soon).
    I wanted to see how big an issue this was so I can determine if I stick it out with the S6 edge or return it within my 14 days and get something else.

    Facing the same issue. Screen does not rotate at all. Went to local Verizon store, was informed that they do not have the device in stock and would only be able to replace once it's stocked.
    The irritating part is that they didn't have any estimate when the replacement would be available. Seriously, either Samsung or Verizon underestimated the phone.
    On pressing further, the alternate provided option was that I can order the new piece at retail price which would be overnight delivery and once I return my existing device, I would get the amount back.
    I have decided to wait couple of days before taking this option. But I am wondering whether they actually don't have the device or they just want a new sale instead of replacement.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • ZR screen rotation issue with lollipop

    I updated my Xperia ZR to Lollipop yesterday, and found out the screen doesn't rotate itself when it's connected to the charging dock. Instead of rotates to horizontally in Android 4.1-4.4, the home screen now stays on portrait mode in Android 5.0.2. Anyone else has the same issue?

    Hi,
    Regarding the screen rotation, have you guys for example tried to boot the phone into safe mode to see if same behaviour appear?

  • 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.

  • Iphone 6 plus screen gap issue

    I just opened up my brand new iphone 6 plus 64gb gold, and i noticed at the bottom left side where the screen meets the metal part of the phone there is a tiny gap, it's noticeable tho. When i push the bottom corner down the gap disappears but return when i let go.
    Is this a known problem?? Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • IPhone 5s screen color issues

    Got a 5s, love, however I was wondering, the color white seems "yellowish". I was able to get one (AT&T) through Best Buy, and ordered one through Apple. Both phones seems to have the white color issue. I went to the Apple store and compared the screens, my phone seems "yellowish", even confirmed by the Apple employee. Anyone else having issues?

    Thank you for your help, Shipping cost is a issue. I will contact the apple soon

  • S6 Edge Screen  Rotation

    Brand new phone and I'm  wondering if I  need to  return it  due to  non-working  screen  rotation. When I  have  the camera open, all of the camera options  are upside-down. Changing the  screen rotation  makes no difference with any feature so I am wondering if  this new phone is broken?

  • IPhone 6 plus - screen not rotating when waking up from sleep

    I just got a 6 Plus and I'm having issues with the screen rotation. It seems to be reproducible and I have the view set to standard and I have tried a factory reset.
    If I have the phone in portrait mode and put it to sleep. That mode seems to stick. As an example, I can hold my device in landscape mode and unlock it but the app will not automatically switch to landscape. It will stay stuck on portrait. I have to move the device to portrait and then back to landscape to get the correct orientation. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Also when it wakes up from sleep the screen flashes, don't think its supposed to do that.
    Here is a picture I took with my phones that shows how the screen looks like, notice the difference in brightness in a pattern.
