Ooma Mobile Won't Rotate

The installation of the APP appeared flawed so I called Ooma. By the time I got connected and looked at the APP again, it appeared ready to use with the exception of the screen failing to rotate to landscape. None of the instructions I found regarding the screen lock squared away the issue. Compounding the problem... I can't find the APP listed amount all the APPS on my ipad II.
Q1) Assuming that APP should be listed SOMEWHERE on this tablet... where might that be beside that found by clicking the PURCHASED icon in the Apple Store section?
Q2) How do I get this APP to unfreeze itself from the Portrait position?

Well! I learned something ELSE about this 2 year old table; how to pull down a Search line that I didn't know I had.
After reading the relies here, I realized I pulled the Ooma Mobile icon down to the Systray (or whatever Apple calls the bottom of their screen). That probably still doesn't explain why I can't find a trace of it in the Purchases listing of the Apple Store. The Search brought up only the icon in the Systray.
I haven't actually connected with anyone yet through the APP but I did verify it was at least dialing out last night; too late to make contact with someone though so I just disconnected. Seems to have worked without a glitch to that point.
I appreciate the help and will probably just assume that particular APP wasn't engineered to rotate.
Thanks to both of you for answering.

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

My iPhone won't rotate how do I fix this

I Updated my iPhone 5 and now the pictures won't rotate, how do I fix this?

Swipe up from off the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the top right button to turn portrait lock on/off.

After I updated to iOS 5.1, my iPad2 won't rotate anymore.

I updated to iOS 5.1. the other day, and my iPad2 won't rotate anymore even if the screen is not locked. I went to service center, and after testing the iPad's accelerometer playing some game, the guy at the service center thought that it is not a hardware problem, but more on the 5.1 update. Weird thing is, I enabled the "assistive touch" feature's "rotate screen" function, and the screen rotates, although with prompting. That is, it will rotate only after I choose or unchoose to either "rotate screen" to portrait or left or right. Anyone else who has experienced this? Any suggestions how to fix this?

First of all, check again at "Settings > General" and view the Side Switch configuration.
If "Mute" is selected, then double-click the Home button, swip right the icon bar at the bottom and confirm the "Lock Rotation" icon is not locked.
If "Lock Rotation" is selected, then turn the Side Switch a couple of times in order to force the rotation again.
I hope this will help you.
Kind regards

My iPad mini screen won't rotate

Why my ipad min screen won't rotate.

If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, swipe up from the bottom to get to the control center. Look for the lock icon in the row of icons at the top. It will be the last one on the right. Check that to see if the screen is locked.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

IPad screen won't rotate

I have an iPad 2, out of warranty, that won't rotate (one of 150 iPads that are nearing the end of their usage cycle and will be sold at the end of the school year). It is stuck in landscape mode and won't rotate to portrait mode. In an attempt to fix it, I've tried everything short of opening it up: I've done a hard reset, I've done a system restore, and I even ran the battery clear down until nothing would come on the screen when the power button was pushed. Nothing has made any difference. (And no, the screen rotation is not locked, and no, the side switch is set to Mute, not Lock Rotation.)
It makes me think the internal gyroscope is not functioning. Now here's where it gets interesting. I have downloaded the free Gyroscope app, on this and several other iPads for comparison. I can report two significant findings on the iPad that won't rotate properly: (1) All 3 axes of rotation on the gyroscope respond properly; and (2) the numbers on the defective iPad do not agree with the numbers on the other iPads. I.e., sitting side-by-side on a flat, level desk top, a "good" iPad reports Yaw: -173 degrees, Pitch: 0 degrees, and Roll: -1 degrees; while the defective iPad reports Yaw: 3 degrees, Pitch: 16 degrees, and Roll: -32 degrees. That leads me to believe that the gyroscope (or accelerometer) needs to be calibrated. However, I'm not aware of any facility for doing that. And furthermore, it's not clear that this has any bearing on the fact that it won't rotate.
So... any ideas or suggestions? I am not averse to opening the device up, if there is a replaceable part. I haven't been able to find any info about such a task. My only other options are, as far as I know: Send it to Apple for replacement at $249, or sell it at a discount since it is not fully functional. Thanks in advance for any useful ideas. - JR

Then you are not the usual user.
If you can disassemble the iPad 2 then you may be able to replace the small custom circuit board containing the gyroscope and accelerometer chips (if you can source the part).

TS3274 My iPad screen won't rotate.. I have unlocked at the volume button and on the multi task bar

Why has my iPad screen stopped rotating? I have tried by using the mute button to unlock. It says it is unlocked. But it won't rotate.

1. Make sure the Side Switch is set to Lock Rotation: Settings>General>Use side switch to

IPhone 6 Videos app won't rotate

Hi Everyone,
Recently, my iPhone 6 Videos apps is stuck in landscape mode and won't rotate the screen.
Symptoms: the iPhone refuses to rotate the display in Videos. All other apps rotate fine.
Toggling orientation lock makes no difference. Portrait lock, standard view, adjusting compass, restart and restore didn't fix the problem.
Has anyone else seen this?

Restore as new.

My ipad 2 won't rotate. i tried reseting it severally my "Use Side Switch" is set to Mute and there is no rotation lock sign close to the battery sign in the upper right side

The software switch is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe to the right in the bottom of the screen. The speaker icon on the left would be where the software switch would be.
If you don't see a lock icon in the upper right corner, the screen isn't locked, reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

TS3274 My screen on my ipad won't rotate

My screen won't rotate it is only sideways and won't turn horizontal

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or
iOS 7 : via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off').
iOS 6 and below : via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar.
The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS3274 Screen still won't rotate on iPad

Screen won't rotate. The settings show it is unlocked & it's not set to the mute button.
Tried resetting iPad based on other threads & it still won't rotate. Any ideas? Thank you.

If you do not see the padlock icon in the upper right corner, then the screen isn't locked. If the padlock icon is there, the screen is in fact locked. If you don't see the icon, and you have tried resetting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, try resetting all settings.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but ALL device settings will have to be entered again and that does take some to time to do that again.

My iPad video screen won't rotate orientation?

iPad screen won't rotate when watching apple movies, still works for other apps etc???

Close the videos app in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
