No Landscape Mode on my iPhone 4S

Dear community,
Since my upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 I've lost the ability to view video, text messages, photos, podcasts or any content for that matter in landscape mode. I've tried everything i could think of without any success.
Any ideas on how I may resolve this issue?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ok, here are the exact details for dummies like me. i followed trinibass's directions but couldn't see the locked icon. when i found it after 4,5 times, it worked. the "control center" (the one you use for your flashlight and very few other things) is accessed by swiping up from the bottom of that pretty colorful screen w/all your apps that you usually see when accessing your phone with the manual button just below the screen. step 2, swipe your finger upwards. then you should see a gray/black/white screen. on the very top row of that screen, last icon is an old fashioned padlock. THAT is the one you click on, and voila, it unlocks your keyboard for landscape mode. however it got turned off is a mystery to me.

Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
Any thoughts?

No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
But it is definitely a bug.

The message pane obstructs view in landscape mode.

In the landscape mode of my iPhone 6+, the left hand pane which displays messages (in the message app) or recent emails (in the email app) obstructs useable screen space. I am a 2 thumb typer and like using the landscape view for messages and email. I have not found a way to select whether I wish to display that pane, or not. Is there a way of doing that?......or can we convince Apple to provide one?

Thank you!! That was too simple, I kept checking settings

Posting video filmed in landscape mode to Facebook

If I film a video in landscape mode on my iPhone 5, and try to post it to Facebook, the video posts in portrait mode, so that the entire video is sideways. Is there something different that I should be doing with the video on my phone to have it post correctly?

A FREE version of MusicVideoPlayer was just released!

Does iphone6 display landscape mode at all?

I read somewhere that the iphone6 screen does not rotate to landscape view, even with compatible apps. Does this mean I can't enjoy this basic function implemented in every previous iphone? For example, could I watch videos in landscape view?

"Sadly, the iPhone 6 doesn’t have landscape mode like the iPhone 6 Plus, so when you tilt the phone horizontally in compatible apps, nothing happens. We were pretty bummed out about this."

IPhone 6 month view in landscape mode??

hello, was wondering if there is a way to view an entire month in landscape mode on the regular iPhone 6 just like we can on the iPad?? Couldn't find it and would love this feature if it doesn't exist. I don't schedule things by the hour. I think the screen is plenty big for this and the month view in horizontal mode is useless since the little dots won't show colors.
Thanks for any info!

I haven't found a way to display the whole month in landscape view on my iPhone 6. May not exist. You can send feedback to Apple about this here:

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 Apps in Landscape Mode on iPad

With the new high resolution display, why won't the small iPhone apps rotate to landscape mode? This is incredibly annoying when I have my iPad docked and I need to run one of these apps. There's plenty of resolution to rotate the app to landscape!

IPhone keyboard in Landscape Mode

Hey,
Is any one else having the same issue ? Any solution is appreciated. When I use my iPhone keyboard in landscape mode (application - gmail) some of the letters in the keyboard don't pop-up. The keyboard inputs the letters in the mail however the on-screen prompt for a key being pressed (letters jumping up) does not happen. It happens for different letters each time. I have seen 'q' key do that .... r some times etc. It is not just the first row of letters too. I have seen other letters.
I reset the phone, restored it and even got a warranty exchange. I still have this issue. Any ideas ?
Peace...

IPhone test in landscape mode

Hi,
I use Device Central to test my site "through the eyes of an iPhone user", and it works just as expected. Question: Is there an option to view my site on a mobile phone held horizontically, will say: in landscape mode? For the life of me I can't find such an option. I would ask in the Device Central forum, but there seems to be nobody there. If somebody knows of another working emulator that has this feature, I'd be glad also. Thank you for your time.

Apple has it's own iPhone and iPad emulators when you become an Apple Developer for the iOS platform and download the SDK. The application comes with an annual fee. I am sure that you can view your application in landscape mode in those emulators, but there are definitely other Windows-based emulators although I am not sure which ones support the "new" iPhone 4 (screen resolution I'm talking here).
If you develop your site in Flash and export it using the iPhone Packager there is an option for Landscape, Portrait, or Auto orientation as well as Full-Screen mode. Flash's iPhone packager can be unreliable though if you don't code your ActionScript properly. This iPhone packager is only available on Flash CS5 Professional. The iPhone packager also has the option to choose "iPad" as an output device.

IPhone 6 - I can only send photos via iMessage in landscape mode. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo.

Howdy jackbry,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you haven’t already, you can try resolving the issue with not being able to send iMessages that contain portrait photos by restoring your iPhone to factory settings as shown in this article:

IPhone 6+ Website Links Don't Work In Landscape Mode

I've had this issue since I started using the iPhone 6 Plus and I actually had it swapped (not for this reason) so it's been happening on 2 separate phones. I've also installed each software update and currently (Feb 02 2015) have 8.1.3 but it continues
ISSUE: While in landscape mode, all links on a website (happens on any site) don't work as links. They act as plain text.
WORK AROUND: Turning the phone into vertical orientation fixes the problem. Also, you can turn it to vertical, then turn it back to landscape and the links work again.
So it's not like a huge problem where I have to quit Safari or reboot the phone but still, it seems like I obviously can't be the only one having the problem since it happened on 2 phones and I only sync through iCloud but don't even have backups turned on so I didn't restore from back up at any point.
Seems like something that would have been fixed with one of the 8.x.x updates but it's still happening.

Same here - I returned my original, same problem on the second one, and same problem on my son's phone. I called Apple tech months ago, got to a senior supervisor who assured me he'd get back to me, but never did.

IPhone 6: Where's the status bar in landscape mode?

I just got the iPhone 6 (I believe iOS 8.1) and my only problem is that it removes the status bar in when in landscape mode. I find it extremely annoying that I can no longer see the time, monitor my battery life, check whether if I'm even receiving a signal, etc. when I'm using apps such as Safari or Notes in landscape mode. Is there any way to get the status bar back like in previous software versions? So far, I hate having to switch to portrait mode, using the pull down menu, or pressing the home button just to see it...

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.

IPhone 6 plus problem in app Landscape mode

Hello,
i got the iphone 6 plus yesterday, I switched from an android phone, and there are some things that I am finding quite annoying. First, some of the apps do not support landscape mode and force portrait mode. I have an iPad and this is not an issue with these apps there. screen rotation is not locked and standard view is enabled. When entering text on landscape mode, screen responsiveness is poor for text entry. When I want to share something, the options are limited to Facebook, YouTube, email and a couple more, on android I couls share directly to many more things including whatsapp. I don't know how much of this is just normal iOS

Hi Sunnifromlondon,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone screen is not rotating as expected, there could be several potential causes. First, we can attempt some troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue.
I recommend going through all of the steps in this support site article:
iOS: Screen does not rotate
