Landscape orientation locked

Somehow I must have locked my Mail app in landscape orientation on my new iPhone 4. How do I unlock it so that Mail shows up in portrait mode instead of landscape?

I had the same problem with my iphone 5s with latest ios 7.  i tried everything including restarting several times, but nothing worked, all apps immediately went landscape mode unless i had phone locked in portrait mode.  I finally decided that the accelerometer was physically broken.  I went to the compass app to test the accelerometer and at first it didn't work right.  then I went to the "level" app which is part of the compass and starting turning my phone over and over and eventually the accelerometer recalibrated itself and everything works fine now.  So try that.

  • Supporting locking landscape orientation

    It's really convinent to lock the landscape orientation when reading. So will the future version of reader support it ?

    The only thing, what is necessary, is to NOT support iPhone upside down orientation. I can't imagine a case when somebody needs to read PDF and hold iPhone in upside down position.
    If upside down orientation is not supported and you turn iPhone to this position (e.g. when uou read in bed), the screen remains in landscape orientation and that is the desired efect. None Apple application support upside down orientation. See for example apps: iBooks, Safari, Messages, Email, Notes, Calendar, Music, ...

    Im not aware that you can lock your screen in landscape so I'm assuming you have locked it in portrait and want to allow it to ne seen landscape, therefore double click the Home button, swipe the icons to the right, you will see an icon with a circle-arrow. That is your screen orientation lock.
    Assuming again you have iOS5 have a look at the following for more help, page 21

    Orientation lock is off on iPhone 5 however when on Safari it's locked in landscape???? Help!!

    Hi there FphTania,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Can't get Lollipop lock screen to show analogue clock when in landscape orientation

    I use a magnetic dock to charge my Z3C at night, at which time it doubles as my bedside clock. Unfortunately, while I prefer the analogue clock, the lock screen switches to digital as soon as the handset display is rotated to the landscape orientation.
    In portrait, even with the magnetic dock attached, I can choose the analogue clock either through the settings or by using a long tap on the digital clock and swiping to analogue.
    In landscape mode, which is only available when attached to the dock, the analogue display reverts to digital. A long tap on the clock does not seem to have any effect.
    Is anybody else experiencing this? Any solutions? I've tried a few DayDream apps, but I'd rather get the native lock screen working, because it's better in other ways.

    @Briaetta
    I was able to recreate the issue, contact Sony directly

  • Lock the app in Landscape orientation

    I want to lock a app in landscape mode. So that i have used - (BOOL)shouldAutorotate { return NO;} and - (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations { return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;}. Till iOS7.0 it was working fine. But in iOS 8.1 My App is not getting landscape orientation. Even keyboard is not opening properly. Please suggest me if i am doing anything wrong. Or Apple has changed something in these methods.

    I found a possible CSS-only solution on Stack Overflow - was written for iPhone Portrait but I'd imagine the pixels could be adapted for iPad Landscape.

  • Start app in landscape mode locked and later enable autoOrients

    Hi!
    I want to start my app in landscape mode locked and when an effect finished unlocks autorients to true and the user can change the orientation.of the device.
    I have tried few things but i can't get it. My descriptor file contains:
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    And in my code when the effect is finished:
    stage.autoOrients = true
    When i play my app in desktop it run but later running it in a phisichal device (playbook) orientation its ever locked.
    ¿Is posible lock orientation (and force landscape mode) and later unlock orientation?
    Thanks so much!

    You should be able to do this now (AIR 2.6). The Stage.autoOrients property used to be read-only, but now it is writable. The main gotcha is that when you set Stage.autoOrients to false, the exact result is device-dependent. You might have it lock to the current orientation, or it might switch to the device default orientation and lock to that (you can still use setOrientation() to change, though). In my limited testing (3 devices), it has always done the latter (portrait is the default on phones, landscape on tablets).

  • The orientation messed up on ipad air2, orientation lock is off

    The orientation is fixed the wrong way on my ipad air2, the orientation lock is off, turning the screen does nothing. Turning the orientation lock on will make the screen flip rightside up and then turn upside down immediately. It stays in portrait mode at all times.

  • Orientation lock on the iPhone 6+

    is it just me or does anyone else find it very annoying that orientation lock only works on portrait on the iPhone 6+?
    Apple has acknowledged that this device is somewhere in the middle between an iPhone and an iPad by offering the expanded landscape app views, I think allowing for locked orientation in landscape should be allowed under the same rationale:  there is enough screen real estate to reasonably assume a lot of people are going to be using it on landscape the majority of the time.

    Make sure that you have not turned your "Do Not Disturb" on.  This will have a quarter moon icon.  Hope that helps.
