Iphone 6 plus stuck in landscape mode rotation failure

Hi
My iPhone  6 plus keeps getting stuck in landscape mode even though rotation is not locked. Is this a bug, is there a fix?
Thanks

Hi Sunnifromlondon,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.

  • My iphone is stuck in landscape mode, even after restore

    Help! Today my iphone is stuck in landscape mode, even after restore system, safari, mail, camera and other apps don't rotate! I tried rebooth, restore and, when i open the apps, it turns to landscape and dont rotate. I locked to portrait position, but the camera stays in landscape, for example. And when i unlock the portrait the display of all apps returns to landscape!! My iphone 4 is new, i bought it november 2011!!! Please, help me!

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 6 gets stuck in landscape mode

    Hello
    iphone 6 or possibly the ios update has some bugs.  For instance, it gets stuck in landscape mode even though the screen rotation is not locked.
    In addition, safari does not react quickly when trying to access the menu to close a page or add a new one.  It takes several attempts and after uing the home button several times, the menu finally appears.
    Please advise

    This is happening to me too.  Some posts indicates that it is more likely to happen in zoom mode and switching to standard mode fixes it, but my phone has always been in standard mode.  I am having this problem with an iPhone 6 128 GB phone with iOS 8.1.  I hope this is only a software problem and not a hardware problem.

  • IPhone 6 getting stuck in landscape mode

    My iPhone 6 keeps getting stuck in landscape mode. Also the camera will not always open from the locked screen, it just bounces up and down but does not slide all the way up to launch the camera app. Is apple working on a fix?

  • Iphone 6 plus stuck in recovery mode

    Hello
    I wanted to restore my fairly new 6plus to "as new" as i found that when i originally restored from backup battery life wasn't the greatest.
    I followed all the necessary steps and when i hit restore in iTunes, it started searching for iPhone and remained there.
    I tried all methods of holding down home and power button etc. but still nothing
    Can anyone offer any advise as yo how i can fix this or do i need to take it in to apple.
    Thank you

    While trying to update my IPhone 6 Plus to IOS 8 through iTunes the file became corrupt my IPhone was stuck on recovery mode. I had tried everything but nothing seemed to worked. I gave up and decided to call apple for help, they had me on hold for about 20 minutes. While waiting I had found the program Reiboot and it saved my IPhone (I was still on hold). If none of the things mentioned before me work for you do the following
    1) Go to http://www.tenorshare.com/product/reiboot.html
    2) Download reiboot for Mac/PC depending on your preference.
    3) Install then run the program.
    4) Connect your IPhone/IPad/IPod then click exit recovery and it should return you device back to how it was before you tried to update.
    NOTE:If you want to try updating again do it through your device it worked out for me.

  • My ipad is stuck in landscape mode, can I disable accelerometer and manually rotate?

    My iPad is just over 1 year old and has been treated well, but unfortunately it is now stuck in landscape mode.  We went to the Genius Bar today and after testing it they said it is a problem with the accelerometer and not fixable, only replaceable.  Unfortunately, we bought it in the UK and are just out of warranty, and are now in Australia (apparently if we bought it here we'd be covered for around 2 years under their consumer laws).  This means we are now stuck with a fairly new but broken product, which is a shame because we are both still using our iPhone 3GS phones from about 5 years ago with no problems!
    Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the accelerometer and manually switch between portrait and landscape?

    I had the same problem with my iPad Air that was brand new. After about 30 minutes on the phone with Apple Support (who are always so nice)it still wasn't resolved. We had come to the point where the last solution would have been to revert it to factory settings or send it back. Luckily I had to download the latest version of iTunes, and scheduled a call back. I have a Smart Cover for my iPad and began to wonder if the magnet had somehow caused the gyroscope to jam (since it does snap on back directly where the gyroscope is located). While running the Gyroscope app I took the corner where it snaps and ran it along the edge where the power and volume rockers are, and wellah!!! The gyroscope immediately responded and was back to working perfectly. Won't be using my Smart Cover anymore  though.

  • 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 iPad Air stuck in landscape mode

    It stucked on lockscreen first and if I rotate it the clock will follow but not the background and battery view, after I opened it the screen totally stuck in landscape mode. It backed normal when I open setting app.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode while updating to iOS 6.1

    Hello there, I was updating my iPhone 3GS(New Bootrom) from iOS6.0 to iOS 6.1. While it was updating, iTunes suddenly ends up saying error and now my iPhone is stuck in recovery mode loop. I've tried DFU mode on my iPhone and try to kick it out by using TinyUmbrella but the computer doesn't reconize it. And when it was on recovery, iTunes doesn't reconize too, a window pops up and says i have to install 'Apple Mobile Device'. I've re-install and install iTunes a couple of times and nothing is working. Switching on and off the iPhone doesn't work too. Please, someone help me with this problem! I really do not know what to do! Please reply this As Soon As Possible!

    Ok. I have spent the last 8 hours researching this problem and have the absolute 110% answer to everyone's problem with this issue.
    Error 13 and 14 : Are checksum problems with the firmware image that is in the update package.
    The update package is a .ipsw (IPod or IPhone SoftWare). This file is actually just a .zip renamed .ipsw.
    The error is caused by a failure to download a crc-free version of the file. Not really sure why there are so many crc problems with the iphone updates, but Apple does not check the integrity of the update package before wiping your current version of IPhone software and that is why all IPhones that start an update with a bad update package end up in recovery mode. These errors are NOT related to the iTunes installation, antivirus software, or firewalls.
    Recommendation : use a program like "Object Fix" (Freeware) to verify the integrity of the file prior to commencing with any new updates. You will have to keep trying to download it until you get a error free file. Once you have a CRC error free file this problem will go away. (I thought TCP/IP helped get rid of CRC errors.)
    I had another problem and that was...
    Error 1603 and 1604 : These are USB driver connectivity problems.
    Recommendation : FULLY uninstall and re-install itunes software as stated in the Apple support documentation. Be sure to reboot between each step and these problems should clear themselves up. In addition, firewalls and anti-virus software may cause these errors as well.
    Finally, shame on apple for not properly documenting their software so that end users do not have to decrypt their error messages with no true support to solve the issues. These are problems that enough people have had that there should be specific documentation on these problems.

  • Samsung stratosphere keeps getting stuck in landscape mode?

    All of a sudden a couple of days ago my phone started getting stuck in landscape mode, even when the auto rotation was off. I didn't mess with any of the settings to make this happen but sometimes I have to turn the screen on and off a couple of times before it goes back to regular mode. I even factory reset the phone today, but it is still going on.

    Hmm it would do that too, but I actually just realized what the problem was when
    I took the snap on case off. Apparently when I slide the keyboard down the
    bottom part of the screen goes beyond the part where it's supposed to stop. I'm
    guessing that caused some kind of censor to not work properly. But thanks for
    the help.
