Lock rotation question with iOS 4.2

Hi,
before I switch to iOS 4.2 I want to make sure about one thing first.
Is the screen rotation lock (now via software) forcing the screen to be in portrait just like it does on the iPhone, or does it also allow to lock the screen in landscape (as it was the case using the button)
If it doesn't work in landscape, then I'll stay at iOS 3.x
Thanks for any help.

Wish I would have checked here first. I don't have an iPhone, so when I upgraded to 4.2 and lost my system audio, I called Apple. The tech had me factory reset the pad, the appologized for not knowing about the rotation lock switch remapping, jackweed. There went a few hours of my life, sheese. Plus it's an odd mute, only mutes system sounds but plays music and video audio all the time. I see why I guess but wonder who asked for that???
Don't even get me started on this stupid airprint BS, hopefully they will "figure out" how to print to any network printer.... like several app dev's did days after the iPad released, what's with that Apple?

I am only able to choose mute and rotation unlocked or locked rotation but with mute off. Why? How to have both?

In order to have rotation unlocked the mute has to be checked off. To have mute off, I have to choose locked rotation. How do I get sound and rotation? Volume works on music but not games. Volume is up on the side and on task bar. Help?

Hi Plyrwiz,
The Lock Rotation/Mute option is simply to set how the switch just above your volume button will be used. If you set it to Lock Rotation, then when it is in the Up position, it will lock your screen and prevent it from rotating when you turn the device sideways. However, if it is in the Down position it will have the Rotation unlocked, so the screen will rotate when you turn the device.
Likewise, if you have it set as a "Mute" button, then when it is Up the volume will be muted, and when it is down, it will not.

I'm facing similar problems too but more importantly, my iPhone 5 keeps going off every 5-10 minutes or so. Its really frustrating as I'm missing so many calls and there is nothing I can do to fix this It was working fine when I updated to IOS 8 but since this 8.0.2 update its just not working. It goes off in the middle of using or on standby. When it turns back on it takes years for it to actually become functional. Once it does, it has little moments where the battery reads 20% one moment then 48% the other While using safari I noticed it said Searching.. (for signal) yet had 3G by its side and internet working ..??! Its really frustrating as yesterday I needed to use my phone in an actual emergency yet couldn't for nearly 10 minutes waiting for the phone to load..!!

HT201328 Is it possible to decline a phone call while phone instrument is locked? Earlier version IOS 6 allowed this.

I am unable to decline the phone while the phone is locked. Earlier with IOS 6 I was able to do that, but after installing IOS 7 that feature is not available.

Tap the Sleep/Wake button to silence the call, a double tap will send the call to Voicemail.

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

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.

Hello everybody
I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

So far the best thing I've seen to get the screen to lock in landscape orientation is to use Assistive Touch
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New..

Restore from Backup... Restore as New > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

You can inform Apple of your displeasure:
Apple - iPod touch - Feedback
That is all.

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

IPad camera buggy with "Lock Rotation"

When I "lock rotation" on my iPad and take pictures, the "camera" icon in the snap button always shows upright. However, when I download into iPhoto, they come in as a dog's breakfast of different rotations.
It's basically ignoring my "lock rotation" command -- okay, I can live with that -- but the camera icon in the shutter button is always upright. The problem is, that icon should tell me the actual orientation it's recording in the photo's EXIF data, and it's not doing that.
I'm snapping pictures of antiquarian shop manuals for ancient locomotives, and I don't want to get them covered in grease. So I snap the relevant sections, then go out to the locomotive and refer to the manual in my iPad, you know, like Boeing does. But this damned orientation bug makes them really hard to work with, because the IPad wants to show every other page in the wrong orientation, so it doesn't fit and I have to zoom.
Any workarounds/fixes? hello Apple please fix?

I had the same problem. As soon as I plugged in the jack no sound came to the earbuds. I went to Settings/Music/Volume and saw that the slider was turned to off... so I slid the slider bar to the far right to ON. When I plugged the jack in, the sound came through the earbuds. However, a few minutes later it quit.
So I went to the MUSIC ion on the bottom of the Homepage, touched it and it went to "Playlists" which contains songs that were there waiting to be played. I don't know how they got there but they were there. HOWEVER, I noticed a Sound Bar at the top of the page and it also was turned to OFF. So, I slid the bar to the far right all the way and lo and behold the sound came through the earbuds perfectly. This is the second step you have to do. You have to go to every place in settings that has sounds. You did the first step, as I did, but do the last one. Go to MUSIC, turn on that sound and it will be your solution. You will be able to listen to music, videos, watch movies - everything with the jack in. If you should hear music coming through a video, go to the Playlist and turn off the song. I have iPad 3. My only problem with sound was that the jack was not putting sound to the earbuds. Without the earbuds and the jack not plugged in everything was fine. It is not with hardware it is with Settings.

On iPhone 4s with IOS 7 - call controls seem to get locked

On iPhone 4s with IOS 7 my call controls seem to get locked when on a call - due to which I will have to unlock my phone everytime I have to disconnect a call or to place on mute / speaker etc.
Has anyone run into this issue?

ciao
io ho RISOLTO!
allora ecco come ho fatto:
ho collegato il cell al pc e ho fatto un backup completo su itunes, poi ho scollegato il cell e ho fatto un "cancella contenuto e impostazioni" successivamente ho seguito le istruzioni di inizializzazione come fosse un nuovo iphone, inifine ho collegato il cell al pc e ho eseguito il ripristino delle app.
e finalmente tutto si è normalizzato, speriamo definitavamente.
auguri di buon anno

Contact whichever cell carrier it is now locked to and find out their official unlock policy and whether you qualify.
If you don't know who it is locked to you can call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number.

Difficulty answering iPhone 5 with iOS 7 from lock screen

With iOS 7, when I try to answer the phone from lock screen, the slide to answer green bar is less responsive than answering phone in previous versions of iOS and it also takes awhile for other party to hear you. Several persons tell me the same. Using an iPhone 5. Can anyone help me out on this? Is it a generalized problem that Apple should address?

No, we have to wait till Apple fixes this problem.
For the Slide to reply bar: Turn on "Reply with message" in your passcode settings you that you will have a button to answer a call instead of a slider. (Will also enable Messaging from the lock screen)
