IPhone safari stuck in landscape

When I open safari on my iPhone 5, it automatically goes into landscape and won't switch to portrait. My orientation lock is off, I have tried shutting down my iPhone, resetting network settings, and nothing works. Any help?

Hello ampifed1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

If the issue persists, restart your iOS device by holding the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If the screen remains locked, back up and restore your device

Display does not go into landscape mode
Remember that photos, webpages, and applications will not change viewing-orientation modes when iPhone is lying flat. Hold iPhone vertically to switch between portrait and landscape modes or vice versa.
Verify that rotation lock is not on.
To test, open the Calculator application while holding the iPhone vertically (portrait mode). The standard calculator should appear. Then rotate the iPhone to a horizontal position (landscape mode), and the scientific calculator should appear.
Note: Certain apps and features may support only one mode, landscape or portrait. For example, the Videos app plays video in landscape mode, and Reminders uses only portrait mode. Not all applications on iPhone use landscape mode.

  • 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.

  • 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 5 stuck in landscape

    My iphone 5 gets stuck in landscape view when I am searching through contacts. I use a mophie batterypack case. Could this be the issue? It hasn't gotten stuck in any other apps so far.

    Find the control center of your iphone by swiping straight up from the bottom of the screen. You will see a padlock on the right side near the top which appears as if it's an application. Click on the padlock to disable the orientation lock you have enabled.
    Good luck Friend.

  • Just got iphone, and safari stuck in Landscape mode

    Hey Everyone,
    Hope this isn't a newbie error, but everytime I start the Safari it flashes briefly in portrait mode, and then defaults to landscape. I've tried a hard reset, upgrade to 2.2.. and it still happens.
    Thanks,
    Dnouche

    This has been reported a few times in the past.
    Stuck accelerometers is the usual guess.
    If gentle taps on the side where the bottom of the web page have no effect, then a trip to th apple store or back to where you purchased the phone may be needed.

  • IPhone 6 stuck in landscape after unlock

    Most of the time when I unlock my phone, the open app is in landscape mode. It will not switch to portrait unless I rotate the phone 90 degrees to landscape and then back to portrait. This is extremely annoying on apps that have very discrepant functions in portrait vs landscape, such as Music. The problem was there when I first got the phone in October. It persisted until December, when there was an update that addressed this and similar issues. However, the issue has come back over the past couple weeks.
    It is really annoying, especially with one handed use. The weird thing is, I can go to the home screen and switch to another app, and that app will be in portrait mode! It's only if there is an active app when the phone locks, so that unlocking would unlock into an app, not the home screen. So that makes me thing it is a software issue and not hardware. It only seems to happen if the phone is rotated or laid flat while locked. It doesn't happen if the phone was held in portrait between unlocks.
    Thank you

    that worked until today, so 5 days of success. I think ill just try portrait lock until I need landscape. I guess that's kinda what it's there for
    appreciate the help though
    if anyone thinks of a more permanent solution, would appreciate that as well
    thank you

  • 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.

    Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

    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.

  • 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 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!

    My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
    I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
    However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
    Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
    Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
    O

    Sorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
    You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
    Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
    So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure.

    safari is crashing when up the app. Safari crashes in landscape mode. Does anyone have a solution.

    Happens to me too on my iPhone 4s and iPad Air. It has something to do with Safari and specific websites, does not happen in Chrome. Here's another site that crashes Safari in landscape:
