IPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8

iPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8.
Phone was fine before the upgrade, iOS 8.1 did not fix the issue.
Have done a factory reset at Genius bar and they say it's a hardware issue and have gotten this response below:
"Now, when you perform an update to any iOS device many system checks are run to verify that all components are working as they should. This is part of the firmware update process. When these checks are run sometimes issues are detected, even if all seemed to be running well previously. When this happens one of two things can occur. Either the hardware will be deactivated completely, or it will be locked in a state of use so that the device can still be used. In the case of the gyroscope for screen rotation, the firmware locks in place so that while not perfect, the device can still remain on some functioning level. This is what appears to have happened when you updated. The software itself did not cause any failure, but it detected a currently upcoming issue and prevented it from becoming worse."
All I want is a replacement but they want me to pay £199 since it's out of warranty.
Anyone have the same issue?

If the device is out of warranty you must pay the out of warranty replacement fee to have your iPhone replaced. If the phone was still under warranty the phone would have been replaced at no charge.

Lock portrait mode

Greetings,
Perhaps I'm missing something, I've looked for it anywhere I could think. How do you lock portrait mode on this phone? I disabling auto rotate doesn't keep your phone from going into landscape mode. It's a very basic functionality that I'm desperately missing.

There's no setting in the phone that allows you to force portrait mode. Even if you turn off auto rotation under Settings -> Display an app may switch to landscape. many games do this for example but if you place the phone in the docking station it will also rotate.
There are some 3:rd party apps that can force portrait like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation but if you try to run an app that's designed for landscape it might not work properly.

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode after iOS 6 upgrade

I used to have a fully operational iPhone 4 until yesterday, when I upgraded to iOS 6.
Many apps including Mail, Safari, Contacts, Calendar and several third-party apps have been stuck in landscape mode since then.
I have tried to:
- reset
- restore from back-up
- restore to factory settings,
without success.
At the end of the day, I am not even sure whether this problem relates to iOS 6 or if it is just a coincidence. Anyway, the only workaround I found is to lock autorotate in portrait mode, which is not acceptable in the long run.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Pb solved!
Yesterday, my iPhone ran out of battery and powered off automatically. When I restarted it after a full battery load cycle, the iPhone was able to autorotate again.
So far, so good
Hope it helps someone else.

Locked portrait mode

Does anyone know how to unlock the screen from portrait mode?The only app that works is utube.I can't turn the phone say reading the NY Times in Safari.It doesn't turn so I can read it the long way.It shows locked on the screen all the time.Or am I missing something here?Thanks.

Double tap the home button, then swipe the bottom of the screen to the left. The first icon is the lock icon. Tap that icon, and the orientation lock should be disabled. Repeat the steps if you ever want to enable it again.

Ipad is not connecting to wifi in sleep mode after iOS 6 update

I used to be able to receive FaceTime calls when ipad was in sleep mode but ever since this past update I don't. I had problems like everyone else wi connecting to the Internet but I was able to fix that. Is there any way the ipad can stay connected while in sleep mode.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Ipad mini stuck in recovery mode after ios 8.1 update

i have a first generation ipad mini which usually works fine. last night the ios update appeared in my settings and i tried to install it.
i didnt have enough space so deleted some apps and then installed.
the ipad switched on at the end but said the update failed as i didnt have enough space i needed a little more. i deleted more apps and attempted to install again
this failed my ipad is now stuck in recovery mode, it hasn't taken itself out as apples help pages suggest after 15 minutes its been in recovery now for 15 hours
i have tried to connect to itunes as the screen is telling me to but it will not recover from there either as apparently i can't connect to apple servers my connection isnt working - i assume because others are having this problem as i a using the same pc to post this message so know my network is fine.
i need help to get out of recovery mode - itunes says my software is up to date so i may have this nightmare software already.

i originally tried to install the update using wifi and this did not work. i think i might just chuck the thing as looking on the boards all my stuff will be lost anyway - i backed up 2 days ago but that is nowhere to be found now in itunes or the cloud kmt

Both Ipad2 and Iphone3Gs stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update

Hello,
My Ipad2 (and the Iphone 3Gs of my wife) is stuck after trying updating my devic with iOS 5.
Error 3200 occured and then the screen only shows the usb plug to Itunes, and that's it !!
Any idea please ?
Regards,

Well, after attempting every kind of tips seen on the web, I tried this one to exit recovery mode : stop then start "Apple device service" on Win7 64 bit, change the usb plug where my devices were linked.
And, I don't know why, Itunes recognized again both Ipad2 and Iphone 3Gs, said 'hey your devices are in recovery mode !' ,and proposed to backup and update them. After long minutes waiting, both devices were upgraded with iOS 5 and then sync to put my apps on them.
Thankfully everything now works properly, but It has been long hours of trouble and frustration...

Why is my iPad stuck in recovery mode after iOS 5 update?

I plugged in my iPad2 to sync and download a document. I noticed that there was an update to iOS 5 so I elected to download the update. As a result my Ipad seems to be stuck in recovery mode as every time I plug it in and attempt to connect to iTunes I get the message. "Itunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with itunes." I do so and after waiting for the update to download it tells me the same thing again. I have tried different USB ports, rebooting my iPad and the computer and disabling antivirus software. Please help me I literally need to use my iPad.

I had a similar issue with my Ipad. I had to take it to Apple, they restored the system but after that my IPad did not sync. It was not until an hour ago I read on another forum someone suggesting disconnecting the Ipad abd turning it off, then connecting it to the PC (usb port) and then turning the Ipad on. Try it it may work for you. I tried apple support 3 times before with no luck! Good luck.

Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update? I can't get it out even after I restore. Please help!

I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out. I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode. Please help!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
