Locking Landscape Mode

1. LOVE my iPhone
2. I'm old and my fingers are stubby, it is much easier for me to see and type in Landscape mode.
Is there any way at this point "OR" an app that will lock messaging and email in landscape mode?
Thank you in advanced.

You can't lock landscape mode (or portrait for that matter). You just have to hold it in that position for it to stay landscape. I too wish we had the option to lock in either mode. We can post feedback here... http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Search here (http://appshopper.com/) for an app that may offer a fixed a landscape keyboard in their messaging app.

Lock landscape mode

I would like the app to have "lock landscape mode" that is not affected by the "lock portrait mode" on your iphone device. I dont need lock portrait mode, I need lock landscape mode. Thanks!

There is no feature for a lock landscape mode. Not all apps work in landscape mode.

Hey Walterlam,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! And thanks for the question. There's two articles I'd like to point you to - try going through them in order, checking after each step to see if the issue is resolved.

If following those steps do not work, you can try restoring your iPhone:

Landscape mode doesn't work properly or gets locked

When I try to watch a video or use any other apps that support the landscape mode the phone will not do this when properly trying to get the phone to switch to the landscape mode. When I am in the camera mode it will also lock its self in landscape mode to where I am only able to to take a picture or video in landscape mode. This can be very frustrating especially when trying to watch videos on my phone. Not a very good use of the great image quality when viewing a video in orentation mode. I have the iPhone 6 with the 8.0.2 update but I think this was happening before I updated the phone.

Try restarting the iPhone and test again.

How can I lock my camera so it saves pictures in landscape mode

How can I lock my camera so that it will take and save pictures in landscape mode. I use the iPhone 5, IOS 8.1.1.
I take pictures with the camera held horizontal and the home button to the right. When I save the pictures to my iMAC in iPhoto they need rotation.
I can't find a camera app in the Apple Apps Store.

How to strictly lock screen in landscape mode by Agentry editor?

Hi
I am using SSM 3.0, Agentry client v6.0.38.1.
How can I lock Android device screen in strictly landscape mode for our customized Agentry app through Agentry editor?
If I lock device screen in landscape mode then it will affect other applications too.
So is there any way to just lock the screen for particular Agentry application?
Regards
Prit

Prit,
There is no setting in the Agentry to force the application to only landscape or only portrait.
However, you can through the Android branding process force the orientation.
After you unzip the SMPAgentryClientFramework-Android-6.0.38.x.zip, in the AgentryAndroidClientSolution folder there is a file AndroidManifest.xml
You will need to edit this file to add the following directive to the activity tags (12) in the file where the android:name starts with ".ui."
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
Here is one example from my file.
<activity android:name=".ui.screensets.OverlayScreenSetActivity"
               android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
               android:theme="@style/AgentryActivityDialog"
               android:screenOrientation="landscape"/>
After editing and saving the file simply build the branded client and when you launch the new client on the device it should automatically go into landscape mode no matter what orientation the device is in.

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).

Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

Hi,
Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
HELP ME!!!!

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

Screen orientation is locked in landscape mode

Screen orientation is locked in landscape mode.

Swipe up with 4 fingers, slide to the right, and tap the orientation lock button on the left of the music controls. If this button is not present, and instead replaced with a button with a speaker icon, slide the switch above the volume controls on the right side of your iPad. If that does not work, put your iPad into DFU mode (hold down sleep/wake button for 3 seconds, in addition to the sleep/wake button, hold down the home button for 10 seconds, and then, let go of the sleep/wake button, and hold the home button for 20 seconds, or until you see the "Plug in to iTunes" screen), plug into your computer, and force restore. Then, it should be fixed. Good luck!
Thanks,

Lock in landscape mode

How do you lock the phone in landscape mode. I have the new phone but don't see that feature.I also didn't see it when I upgraded my 3GS to IOS4

You can lock in Portrait Mode only.
The Button is Hidden in The App.-switcher Funktion in iOS4.
Just double-press The Home button and scroll to the Left.

Can I lock Portrait or Landscape mode?

the iPad has a nasty habit of sometimes switching modes. I would like to lock the mode until I unlock it. I have looked through Settings and did not find a "lock" key.

The screen lock is the slide switch on the right side of the iPad ("right" when held in portrait orientation).
You may want to peruse the iPad User Guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf
That will answer a lot of questions for you.

Problem with rotation and landscape mode in iOS 8

From start of iOS 8 I have got problem with rotation in my iPhone 5S 32GB as well as in my iPad mini retina 32GB. Automatical rotation to landscape mode is not working correctly. For example if you take the phone or tablet to landscape mode in base display and tap to Safari, Mail, Messages, the app will start but stay in normal mode, not landscape. Then you have to back the phone to normal portrait mode and back to landscape and only then the phone do the landscape mode. I have never seen this problem in iOS 7 or older.
Could you help me anyone with this problem? Or is the problem generally in iOS 8.
Thanks a lot
Jakub

Brian, thanks, but it's not a rotation lock issue - at least not relating to the rotation lock setting. It's just a general use setting. Right now i have my iPhone propped in landscape mode. If I now hit the home button, essentially returning to a portrait setting though my phone is still positioned in landscape, then open any other app that supports landscape, that app WILL NOT orient itself to landscape mode. It will stay in portrait mode. The phone has to be physically oriented to portrait, then back to landscape for the app to register landscape mode properly. This is a glitch, and not a rotation lock issue. it ought to be noted that this was not an issue in iOS 7 or any previous iteration.

IPhone 4 stuck in landscape mode

For the last couple of days my iPhone has been stuck in landscape mode. No matter what I do it will not switch out of landscape. I've tried shutting it off, closing apps and even restored my phone but whenever I go into an app it automatically switches to landscape.
Anyone else have this problem????
Thanks

Double click the home button scroll over to the audio controlls there is a button on the left that looks like a reload button that locks the orientation

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.
