IPhone 6 Plus Stuck in Portrait Mode Only

Today, my iPhone 6 Plus stopped switching to landscape mode and only works in portrait. The glitch is even there when watching a video in, say, the CNN or IGN Apps.
I know the iPad has a switch to lock the screen rotation, but didn't think the phone had this?
Has anyone else had trouble with their new phone being stuck in portrait?

For me, it was as simple as that lock button, which I'd not noticed before, but yes, a hard restart usually fixes most issues. I did a restart first, so it spooked me when even that didn't work; which is why I posted.
I've also downloaded 8.2 and feel that it has fixed a few bugs I'd noticed. love the phone too. My case finally came, it's the Griffin Reveal; picked it up from that big online retailer.
The Plus has had some tough press for some reason, but I love it!

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.

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.
I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:

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 5 is stuck on recovery mode and itunes is not detecting my phone when pluged in

My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and the phone is not being detected by itunes when the lead is pluged in, this all started when i was trying to update the phone to latest software any ideas????

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Camera Video and Photo Playback Stuck in Portrait Mode

When viewing video or photos recorded with my new 4G iPod Touch (within the Camera App) the orientation of the playback is stuck in portrait mode. No matter how I rotate the Touch the orientation of the video or photo playback stays in portrait mode. Wondering how to get the content to rotate to landscape mode for viewing? When using other apps on my Touch, rotating the Touch works fine (ie. the app switches to landscape mode). Have already tried locking and unlocking the Orientation Lock but this has no effect on the Camera App playback. Any assistance would be appreciated.

My wife's 4th gen did this last night. I had to reboot it to get it to act normal again. I saw that happen once before on either my 3rd gen touch or my iPhone 4, but I forget which it was. In that case it needed a reboot as well.

Hello Andyoneill9,

Resolution
Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
Check your "hosts" file
After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
Open Terminal.
Enter this command and then press Return:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
Restart your computer.
Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

My iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode. i have tried to restore using itunes but it ends with a message saying there was an error and couldnt be restored

hi desperately need help. my iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode... when i try and do the restore via itunes it goes through the motions but when it gets to the end it tells me there was an error and it couldnt be restored... originally it was an ex contract phone that i had opened to orange from vodafone.. it was fine until i tried to do the ios 6 update

There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.
