Orientation. Lock is messed up

My orientation is messed up since OS upgrade.
Sup?

What do you mean by 'messed up'. 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 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'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre 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.

  • The orientation messed up on ipad air2, orientation lock is off

    The orientation is fixed the wrong way on my ipad air2, the orientation lock is off, turning the screen does nothing. Turning the orientation lock on will make the screen flip rightside up and then turn upside down immediately. It stays in portrait mode at all times.

  • Android orientation lock does not work within the ADPS App

    Hi,
    and another Android App Bug for today. The Android orientation lock feature does not work in Apps created with ADPS. If orientation lock is enabled and I turn the tablet, the orientation off the ADPS Apps will turn with the tablet.
    My Test Tablet is an Acer IconiaTab A510 with Android 4.0.3
    Kind regards
    Yves

    When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 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.
    In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos?

  • Orientation lock on the iPhone 6+

    is it just me or does anyone else find it very annoying that orientation lock only works on portrait on the iPhone 6+?
    Apple has acknowledged that this device is somewhere in the middle between an iPhone and an iPad by offering the expanded landscape app views, I think allowing for locked orientation in landscape should be allowed under the same rationale:  there is enough screen real estate to reasonably assume a lot of people are going to be using it on landscape the majority of the time.

    Make sure that you have not turned your "Do Not Disturb" on.  This will have a quarter moon icon.  Hope that helps.

  • Orientation lock

    I am used to using the silent button as orientation lock, however In ios7 I do not know how to change this setting. I am aware I can lock orientation by swiping up, however I prefer using the switch on the side of the screen. Does anyone know how to change this setting? I am using iPhone 5 with ios7
    Thank you

    The switch on the side can only be configured as a rotation lock on the iPad. That is not (and to the best of my knowledge never has been) a feature of the iPhone.
    Best of luck.

    Hi there FphTania,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Any other ways to turn orientation lock on/off?

    The whole right side of my screen does not work, I need to turn the portrait orientation lock off so I can text using landscape mode. But because I cannot use the right side of my screen I cannot simply turn it off using the control center. Are there any other ways to turn the portrait orientation lock off?

    If I reset the phone will the orientation lock turn off?, or is there a way I can do it through itunes?
    Thanks

  • Is their an orientation lock that prevents me from using the iPad Air2 horizontally

    How do I get my iPad Air2 display horizontally?  I read somewhere that there was an orientation lock but can't find any further information.

    Strangely Enough though the iPad air 2 does not have a side switch.
    So Mute and Rotation lock are both now managed from the Control Center at the same time

  • Screen orientation lock

    I have not screen orientation lock but in this place I'v a volume mute. Whats going on?

    I post this quite often for users that lose system sounds but it relates to the screen lock as well. Read this and the link I post at the end.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Orientation lock - iOS8 & iPad 2

    After upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS8, the orientation is stuck on portrait mode.
    I've turned off the orientation lock, done a hard reset, but no luck..
    Anyone have a solution to this?

    I Have this problem on my iphone6 since i updated to 8.1.3
    Camera doesnt go in to landscape when i turn the phone, so all
    the pics in my gallery are saved in portrait. Wich is realy annoying since i do alot of photo editing, i have to manualy flip every pic when i want to use it.
    Same with internet pages, videos in youtube, texting,... No landscape at all!
    Is there a chance this will be fixed in the next update or should i just take it to the store to let them have a look at it?

  • Orientation Lock Button

    I've noticed that when I switch the orientation lock button it mutes the ipad rather than locks the screen. What is going on with that and how can I fix it? Has anyone else had that issue?

    *Assuming you have the most recent update*
    Double click the home button & you'll see your most recent apps pop up in a tool bar at the bottom of the screen. Slide your finger left to right to scroll to a quick settings toolbar, this is where they moved the Orientation Lock; The icons from left to right should be Orientation Lock, Brightness Bar, |<<, >, >>|, Volume Bar and finally iPod icon.
    Hope this helps

  • IPod Touch and Orientation Lock?

    Given no multi-tasking, does that mean no orientation lock too? Certainly that could have made it the the 8 GB iPod Touch iOS4 upgrade.

    I disagree; the best way to get customers to upgrade their hardware is to sell better hardware (as in the multitasking possible in the latest hardware). Limiting software upgrades for marketing reasons is a short sighted strategy. I will upgrade when I have a compelling reason to give up on what I have.
    The best way to keep customers wanting to come back is to not do evil; helping customers get the most out of what they buy is a better long term strategy.
