Landscape mode on iPhone 6 Plus

Hi all, this is my first post.
I have a 128Gb iPhone 6 Plus. Loving it.
I have been wanting an Apple 'Phablet' for about 4 years (everyone I talked to about it thought I was crazy!) and one of the major things that is exciting for me is the landscape mode that this particular device brings.
Landscape made works well once the phone is unlocked - moving the UI and all the apps to fit. It works with some apps, such as mail and messages (bringing much needed extra features) but why oh why did they not extend this functionality for the rest of the phone? I would understand if this was 3rd party apps, that haven't had chance to catch up with this new size phone all all its features, but even Apple apps such as Podcasts don't yet. I'm hoping that's just a release away in 8.1.
But what I'm finding most annoying is the lock screen. When the phone is locked, it will only display in portrait mode - am I missing something? Can I turn this feature on?
If not - please can someone feed this back to Apple that this needs to be fixed as it seems this new size phone is as popular as I thought it would be, and is here to stay. The Landscape mode needs to work seamlessly across all the UI. I'm guessing that a whole new breed of dock / in car mount, charging for the phone is on the horizon. I now dock my phone in landscape mode in my car.
Thanks

Landscape mode on iPhone

Currently spotify looks pretty horrible on my device. The app needs to be update for the resolution change on the bigger screens. I would also like to see spotify make use of the Landscape mode apple has embraced, as it offers a view far superior to standard vertical view.
Please comment either way if this will be devloped, as this will be a deal breaker for using the app on my device.

I've been a Premium Spotify member since the U.S. release. With the 5s, I thought it was slighly ridiculous that there wasn't a GUI landscape adaptation for iPhone... But I searched it out and thought okay, Spotify apparently can't be creative enough to make it work with the small 4 inch screen.... but still, I held out. I made the upgrade to the 6 - and I was very let down to see that there is not yet a fix... I'm only on the 6! I really feel bad for the Plus guys. Get it together Spotify, you should of had this one in the bag a month ago.

Pictures not in 4:3 ratio got truncated in landscape mode in iPhone 4S

I have some screenshots taken in the computer in various ratios, not 4:3.
When I view them in my iPhone 4S in portrait mode, I can see the whole pictures, although there are some black background above and below the picture due to the ratio.
When I view them in landscape mode, some parts in the top/bottom or left/right are skewed. I have to manually zoom them out to see the whole pictures.
Is there a place where I can configure the settings so that the whole pictures are displayed when viewed in landscape mode?

That's just the way the iPhone automatically loads pictures. If the ratio of the picture is slightly off from that of the iPhone screen, it will automatically zoom in the picture so that no empty black space is showing.

Pdf file, How do I fit by width in landscap mode on iphone?

In landscap mode, pdf file show full page and I have to zoom in everytime. I want to fit width when put in landscap. How to??

Doesn't seem to be a setting for this in iBooks 3.1 (tested on both an iPad [3rd Gen] and iPhone 4S both w/iOS 6.1.3)
However, a little experimentation reveals -- it depends on the PDF.
If the PDF is text (I used 'PowerShell in Action' - a programming book) you can use the same method as Mobile Safari - Double tap in the text and that section expands to fit the width of the screen in landscape or portrait. Centered on where you tapped in the text.
If the PDF is a single image - like a PDF comic book (I used a volume of 'Girl Genius'), it appears that the double tap to expand doesn't work. If the PDF is already full width, a double tap does appear to shrink it back to full page view.
Unfortunately, this seems to be on a per page basis. When you flip to the next/previous page it goes back to full page view.
Note: There are other PDF viewer apps/apps with PDF viewers built in that behave differently, more like you are looking for. Some are even free.
Hopefully Apple will improve this in the next version.
And, of course, the obligatory disclaimer - YMMV with different PDFs, versions of iBooks, and iOS and this is just a random comment on the Internet. Not warrantee expressed or implied. And my employer (which is not Apple) has no idea I just wrote this.

Video exposure not working in all 3 video modes new iphone 6 Plus ios 8.1

Bug 1. In video mode, exposure does not automatically brighten in darkly lit areas - then when you touch the screen to focus and try and use the sun slider for upping or lowering the exposure, you have to swipe it many, many times to go a short distance, then IT ONLY WORKS TO DARKEN THE EXPOSURE, IT DOES NOT LIGHTEN IT IN ALL 3 VIDEO MODES. It works fine in Photo mode. Go to this video at :54 to see it working properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tehcNa3ecs4#t=75
Bug 2: Slo-Motion videos will play back on computers in slow motion ONLY if the base frame rate is set to 60 fps and the Slo-mo speed is set to 240fps. With any other settings the computer (both win and mac) play the video back at full speed.
Especially with bug 1, can any of you check your phone to see if sliding your finger up will brighten the image while in any of the 3 video modes?

Hi,
I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

IPhone 6 plus problem in app Landscape mode

Hello,
i got the iphone 6 plus yesterday, I switched from an android phone, and there are some things that I am finding quite annoying. First, some of the apps do not support landscape mode and force portrait mode. I have an iPad and this is not an issue with these apps there. screen rotation is not locked and standard view is enabled. When entering text on landscape mode, screen responsiveness is poor for text entry. When I want to share something, the options are limited to Facebook, YouTube, email and a couple more, on android I couls share directly to many more things including whatsapp. I don't know how much of this is just normal iOS

Control center not working on iPhone 6 plus when in landscape mode

I has a iphone 5 before it , and there's no problem with the control center, now with this expensive iPhone 6 plus , the control is not working when the phone is in landscape mode , when the screen tapped repeatedly, I can only see the little tab of the control center but I can't able to bring it up.
Anyone has this problem?

Hello torontonightowl,

For some initial troubleshooting on this issue where you're unable to open the control center on your iPhone, please first restart your iPhone, and if the issue persists then reset the iPhone.

IPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

my new iPhone 6+ will not switch to landscape mode when turned horizontally in the homepage. Any thoughts about why this is? It will inindividual apps, but just not on the home page. And no, my screen orientation is not locked in portrait mode. Is anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

My iPhone 6+ doesn't:
 rotate to landscape mode on the home screen
 display dual-paned email
 display the extended keyboard in landscape mode.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing all three symptoms on their 6+ too?
(It ***** because I bought the horsey 6+ for these features.)
I'm suspicious that it was my restore that did it. Did anyone else experiencing the "no rotate" bug restore from an iTunes backup? I did, and I think that it went afoul. I restored from an iTunes backup (via USB), from an iPhone 5s running the iOS 8 GM Seed.
Does this ring a bell?
I'd rather not wipe it and set it up as a new device as this takes HOURS that I don't have right now, but I suspect that the restore (possibly the iOS 8 GM) is the culprit.
Thanks!

Safari crashing on iPhone 6 plus and landscape mode.

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:

IPhone 6 Plus - remove extra keys on keyboard in landscape mode

is there a way to remove the extra keys that appear on the keyboard in Landscape mode? I would rather the extra keys are not there so that the letter keys are larger? thanks

There is no way to modify the existing keyboard. However, iOS 8 allows for adding third party keyboard. Search the App Store. Another keyboard may better suit you.

IPhone 6+ Website Links Don't Work In Landscape Mode

I've had this issue since I started using the iPhone 6 Plus and I actually had it swapped (not for this reason) so it's been happening on 2 separate phones. I've also installed each software update and currently (Feb 02 2015) have 8.1.3 but it continues
ISSUE: While in landscape mode, all links on a website (happens on any site) don't work as links. They act as plain text.
WORK AROUND: Turning the phone into vertical orientation fixes the problem. Also, you can turn it to vertical, then turn it back to landscape and the links work again.
So it's not like a huge problem where I have to quit Safari or reboot the phone but still, it seems like I obviously can't be the only one having the problem since it happened on 2 phones and I only sync through iCloud but don't even have backups turned on so I didn't restore from back up at any point.
Seems like something that would have been fixed with one of the 8.x.x updates but it's still happening.

Same here - I returned my original, same problem on the second one, and same problem on my son's phone. I called Apple tech months ago, got to a senior supervisor who assured me he'd get back to me, but never did.

Safari crashing on iphone 6 Plus when in landscape. Latest version of 8.1 is loaded.

Safari is crashing when my iPhone 6 plus is rotated in Landscape mode and this is really annoying! I have the latest version of IOS 8.1 loaded.

For anyone having this problem I have solved it on my phone, if you have jailbroken your phone and have the StatusHud2 tweak installed, you may want to uninstall until they update as there seems to be a conflict with this tweak and YouTube. After I uninstaled everything went back to normal.
Hope this helps.
My setup: iPhone 6+ / IOS: 8.1 / Pangu 1.1.0
