Iphone 6 rotating problem

My ipone6 has rotating problems with for example the calendar app, somtimes it's working but most of time I can't rotate the screen.
When is this going to be solved, as I many people are complaining about this?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Or, if you want to use your computer and iTunes instead:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If setting it up as new device does not bring back the full functionality of your brightness settings, get the phone checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider, Apple Store or contact Apple Support to have it serviced:

Screen Rotation problem

Hi, my screen rotate does not work. I tried everything but... I think that sensor does not work properly because it doesn't matter that auto rotate is on .HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ???

You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

L220x SoftOSM screen rotation problem

I was showing off the screen rotation feature on the L220x but then found that it would not return to landscape orientation (embarrassing). I tried using the SoftOSM but the orientation button was greyed out. It had been OK before.
Then I remembered I had recently been prompted to download and install an update to the SoftOSM.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled the original version and at once the screen returned to landscape.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, I've got trouble with auto rotation with latest update of SoftOSM also. Auto rotation option is checked but greyed out. Doesn't auto rotate altough works fine when using hotkeys.
I had problems with SoftOSM before but then it was related to XP SP3. Could not rotate at all. I had to uninstall SP3 and restore my system to previous state. But ok - shame on Microsoft this time ...
So it worked all fine untill i updated SoftOSM yesterday, altough Windows update was running at same time so I don't really know who to blame ...
I'm going slightly mad with this. I hate wasting time on such a "trivial" issues when it should work (IMHO) flawless from beginning and always! Is this such a big thing to resolve? Is this so complicated to inplement? Why? I'm frustrated with this.

N85 screen rotation problem

I see a demo on Youtube about the N85 screen rotation, it shows the screen zooming in and out while rotating, but mine running on v11 only blanks out and comes back without zooming, can anyone tell me what firmware version has this effect, I still can't get any update on my RM-333 on NSU.

Hi,
I'm not sure in which version of firmware this effect turns available, but you'll have to turn it on. Find your way to were you change your theme, push the "option"-button and you can find the option "theme-effects" or alike. Turn it on and enjoy!
Just as you know different themes got different effects; fading, zooming and so on. Try and you'll find out.

Droid Maxx XT1080M Screen Rotation Problem and Notification Drop Down Issue

My droid maxx xt1080m screen rotation got stuck on landscape while viewing photos the other day. I went into settings and unchecked the box for auto rotate screen. My photos were still in landscape and would not go back to portrait. I turned off the phone and restarted, went back to the gallery and pictures were back to portrait. I then went into the settings and checked the box for auto rotate screen, went back to photos and they will not rotate. Nothing and I mean nothing will rotate at all. Photos in the gallery that used to rotate, apps that used to rotate will not rotate. How do I fix this?
Now I also notice that the notification list at the top will not drop down when swiped down. I will have to swipe it 7-8 times to get it to come down. This is my second maxx as the first one got stuck in a loop on boot up and would not reset.

Can you boot into SAFE MODE ?? You can also UNINSTALL that Gallery Lock APP from the online Android Market (PLAY).
Safe mode:
- Power Off
- Power On
- Press & HOLD both up & down volume buttons at the same time -- for like 3 mins while it boots up. Keep holding these down!
- Phone should eventually come up and say SAFE MODE in lower left corner ..
Does THAT work??? If so, see if that app is in your APP drawer and try to uninstall it.
If that doesn't work, you can boot into the Maintenance Menu using a similar procedure that can get you to the ability to do a Factory Reset, if that's what you want to do.
let us know.

IPhone Screen Replacement Problems

So I recently got my screen replaced by JetCity in Chicago for $140... two days later I dropped my phone and the screen shattered again. This time I was determined to change the screen myself. I ordered a new screen, took apart the phone without any kinks, replaced the screen, made sure everything was connected, and put the phone back together. I turned it on and all I saw was a blue vertical bar across the center of the screen, which stayed there for awhile, until the phone finished booting up and then the phone screen went into standby or whatever. I can connect the phone to the computer and it's recognized by iTunes, so everything else in the phone appears to be working except the output to the screen. Thinking it was a faulty replacement screen, I connected my old cracked screen back up, and the same blue bars appeared. I'm not sure what to do at this point. If anyone has any clue as to what the problem is, PLEASE tell me. I've had an iPhone since the original came out and I've been using a $4.99 att goPhone as a replacement and I'm slowly dying while attempting to use it day to day... I'll attach photos of what the phone now looks like when I press the home button to wake it up. Any ideas are MUCH appreciated.

I'll try the firmware restore now, I've tried reseting the connector onto the logic board a few times, and have already tried cleaning the connectors with isopropyll. I figured debris was probably the original cause but since cleaning it didn't work, I just figured the logic board somewhere during the replacement got messed up somehow. I'll probably just do the exchange if the firmware restore doesn't work. Any other soulutions still appreciated.. but I'm pretty sure theres not much else I can do at this point short of getting a replacement.

IPhone auto rotation problem

I am trying to create an app with multiple views. I have a seperate nib file and view controller for all the views. I have created methods in the app delegate that call up the different views as well as add a transition. I then call that method from the view controller subclasses. My problem is that I want the device to only support landscape mode in some views, and portrait in the others. I modified the -BOOL should autorotate to interface orientation, but, the only view that rotates correctly is the first view loaded. The subsequent ones launch in portrait mode and will only flip into landscape if the device is rotated into portrait then landscape, and sometimes I have to repeat this. Am I missing something here?

I guess I'll need to build a test bed to be of any more help. I still suspect this project would be easier for you if you changed your app's structure to use a single root view that remained over your window for the life of the program. In fact, the Utility template might be a good starting point for you. You might use the MainView for your splash screen, and the FlipsideView for your GameView, replacing the info button with whatever is calling exitSplash and removing or modifying the FlipsideView's Nav Bar depending on where you want to go from the GameView. Per my previous thread, using the Utility template with landscape views has its own set of problems, but at least the comments in my thread would then apply, and others could help you without building a test bed from scratch. In particular, you might want to try xnav's suggestion to start with the Tab Bar Application template which you'll find near the end of that thread.
One more snippet of code that might be useful to you:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
UIView *rotatingView = rotatingViewController.view;
return [rotatingView superview] != nil ? YES : interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait
|| interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown;
I put the above in my RootViewController.m so that only one of its subviews would rotate into landscape orientation. To avoid using the undocumented setOrientation method of UIDevice, I then ensured that users could only switch away from the rotatingView when the device was in portrait. Of course if you choose to use setOrientation, that would offer you even more flexibility.
Best of luck on your app!!

E75 Screen rotation problem

Hi, I hope somebody here can help me.
I have an E75 and a problem with the screen has recently turned up. When I open the phone to use the keyboard the screen does not rotate as it should and remains in the original orientation. I have it set to open 'messaging' when the phone is slid open but it no longer does this either. The screen sometimes rotates on its own accord too.
Any ideas what is up with it or if it's repairable?
Many Thanks
Alexander

try a factory/soft reset and check your settings once more
here is the codes
NOTE: In front of the hash key ( #) there is also a STAR key that people often miss and state that the code does not work. 1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Lumia 920; Screen rotation problem, seems to be a ...

Hi,
Since a week I have a problem where my screen will not rotate anymore. When I soft reset the phone it magically works again, but after some usage with the phone it comes back and I cannot rotate it anymore until the nextt soft reset.
I hoped a hard reset / restore to fabric settings might help, but it didn't. Did not install alot new apps (only whatsapp actually). There are no updates available on the system to get it more up-to-date than it is.
Since the problem is gone when doing a reset (for a short time that is) I doubt it is a mechanical problem and I fear Nokia will not see it as a malfunction in their phone. Anyone has seen this problem?

I will do that, weird thing; When making a photo, It saved sideways in my album.
Hope the service point have a good solution. But was hoping someone new a quick fix.

[iPhone] auto-rotation problems

I'm having a really tough time getting auto-rotation to work properly.
My biggest problem is most of my application only works in Portrait mode, but there is one view (with subviews) and a controller that handles landscape (it displays an image). When I rotate the device to landscape mode while this view is up, then cause this controller to pop back to the previous controller (a navigation controller), the rest of the interface is now in landscape mode instead of portrait, which is messing up my other portrait only views. I expected that popping my landscape-supporting controller would revert the interface to portrait, since none of the other controllers support landscape.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
And is there a way to "force" the device into landscape mode when a landscape image is selected? See I have a image picker controller (portrait), and when I pick a landscape image I'd ideally like to just have my image viewer (and subviews) show up in landscape mode - like how Movie Player does it.
I know this is possible, but I haven't figured out how yet.

I am having the same problem that you have descibed below. Did you ever find a solution? I have tried all types of possible solutions but cannot get the previous view to revert back to portrait as well.

IPhone Screen Rotation lock

Upgraded my phone and a new rotation lock icon appeared at the top. Finally figured out how to turn it off.
Double click menu key and move icons to left and it will expose the rotation lock icon. Just press. Easy once you know where it is.

Double tap phone button and slide icons over to expose iPod controls. There is a rotation icon. Just press and "Shazzam" unlocked.

My original iPhones screen had problems, and the apple store replaced the phone for me. However this new phone doesn't connect really at all to the 3G network. My phone automatically goes to GPRS. Is it a defective iPhone?

What do you think?

My friend threw a Straight Talk SIM card in so now it is working on the GSM network. The service isn't as good but at least my phone works again.

Why won't my screen rotate when I turn my device?
