Lock Screen and home

Ok,
Who designs a phone with side mounted charging and yet the lock screen and home screen don't rotate?!
Have I missed a setting somewhere?
Allan

To prove my point (and because it is an irritation!) I have just tried several different rotation programmes in the app store.
Sure enough:

Does it all (and an XDA Developer- surprise!)...
So I will trial it for 7 days and then pay the 58p to have my phone do something which Sony could've fixed (apparently an issue since the Z1!) and which is standard in many other phones.
To be honest, when the lock screen widgets can be accidentally swiped off, and indeed so can the normal home screen ones, I am considering changing lock screens full stop.
Not impressed.

  • Iphone lock screen and home screen...

    hi apple,
                we apple users are worried about the lock and  home screen of iphone, people breakjail or try to breakjail their iphone because it lacks some features of high-tech of android phones,please apple dont let us drop apple for android,work on the lock screen and home screen whereby it can look like jailbreaking...thanks.

    Android isn't high-tech. Android is nothing but a poor copy of Apple's UI as with Windows being a poor copy of Apple's computer GUI.
    As with Windows on a computer, Android is a swiss cheese for security mobile OS not to mention being a fragmented mess that will only get worse when Apple's patents are enforced. Jailbreaking or hacking iOS removes all the built-in security making it as insecure as Android.

  • Changed locked screen and home screen (screensaver)

    I changed the appearance of my home screen on my iPad for kicks and just because the option was there after the IOS 6 update.
    Now, or rather twenty minutes after I changed it,I want to change it back to what it was-but I can not seem to find that option.
    *** and Htf do I fix this?
    Thanks in advance to any and all with the solution.

    You can change the background image via Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper - is that what you mean ?

  • How do I reset my iPod 5 but it won't turn on and I tried the lock screen and home screen trick but it won't work and plus I don't have a laptop I only have my cosians who live in Scotland

    Help

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection for most of the steps.

  • How much will it cost to get my iPod 4g touch fixed if both my power button (locks screen) and home button doesn't work?

    I do not have apple care nor insurance for my iPod so i'm wondering how much it will cost? or will they just replace it with a refurbrished one?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. If only battery is bad the exchange price is $79. They do not fix yours.

  • If I have a large photo as my lock screen and home screen will it drain the battery faster than if it were a smaller image?

    If I have a high resolution / large sized image set as my lockscreen / homescreen will that effect the battery life of my iPhone 4S?

    I do not believe so. Either way, the display of your iPhone is just showing a picture as a wallpaper, if you had no wallpaper or just a black or white one, your phone would still be displaying something (the pixels are still on). Your pixels don't know what they are displaying, so your phone is still using the same amount of battery. Hope this helps!

  • Just got the new iPad 4, and recently it won't let photos become my screen saver for my lock,screen, and home screen, just wanted to know why?

    Need to know how I can get back to putting photos as my wallpaper!

    How are you trying to add wallpaper? What message do you get when you tried?

  • How do i change wallpaper - home screen and lock screen and view only the icons?

    Ever since I uploaded iOS 7 I have somehow changed the wallpaper from the locked screen and home page. Currently it is set on both (lock and home screen) How do I change it back to be able to view the icons on my iPhone?  Secondly I don't when I have IM either.

    Setting wallpaper is done by going to Settings>Wallpapers and Brightness. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking about being able to view the icons. Is it possible you have more than 1 home screen and you are looking at an empty one. Try pressing the home button, what happens? Lastly, I don't know what your statement "I don't when I have IM either", is referring to, or what it means.

  • HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

    i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

        LauraAnn41,
    Help is our middle name! So let's jump into troubleshooting right away. Have you tried holding the power button and home key simultaneously for up to 30 seconds as an alternate reset? Please give that a shot and let us know how it goes.

  • Since update to NJ4, problem with audible, lock screen, and car charging.

    Since update to NJ4: I listen to audible a lot on my phone. Since the update, when I'm listening and the phone goes to lock screen, when I power up, my home screen background goes to a solid color and the phone screen jumps from audible to lock screen and I can't do anything but turn off the phone.  When I set security to none, no problem.  Seems only to be when phone goes to lock screen.  I also noticed I always used a third party car charger with no problem, now it says I need to use the original charger, it never did that before and I've had the phone for a year.  I did a factory reset and still have the problems, did not help. Any suggestions?

        nuqrat Software updates can change functions of the device as it is designed to help the phone operate better. It is common that the phone displays the message about the original charger be connected. Some charges can drain the battery life or not charge the phone properly if they are not from VZW or the manufactuer. As for the the issues with the screen and lock settings, we recommend testing the device while it is in Safe mode. http://vz.to/SsJCZp  Please keep us posted.
