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.

    Trying to restore the software locks up the iphone and renders it unusable

    Thanks for your reply.
    When connected to the PC the screen on the phone showed the apple logo and stayed frozen with that image. The only way to get rid of the image was to hold both the power and home buttons. The message on the iTunes app said: iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone. I left it like that overnight, but there was no change in the morning. Took it to the Telstra Shop in Melbourne, and they tested and said it was 'broken'. They gave me a new phone, but I had to recover all my contacts, agenda, etc from backup on the PC.

  • I probably misclicked when I activated the security lock on the iPhone and now I can not figure out what password I entered. Moreover, I have patches and funky looking phone so I can not restore iphine pres itunes. Please advice.

    Your only recourse is to force it into DFU mode:
    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • Can you use portrait orientation lock without the control centre on ios7

    With regards to the question above does anyone know another way to lock the screen orientation without the use of the control centre (e.g. like the old way of double clicking the home button). The reason being is that I have a case that fits the screen perfectly so my fingers cannot get to the bottom of the screen to access the control centre. Many thanks in advance

    According to page 23 of the user manual http://support.apple.com/manuals/ the only way to change the orientation is with the control enter

  • Locking/Unlocking the Iphone

    I think I phone is missing a very basic feature of Lock/Unlock the phone with password protection. Alteast, Apple MUST have an option to password protect the unlocking of the phone.
    What if you loose the phone like one of my friend and the person can access your e-mail account and all the personal notes and stuff.
    What do you guys think?

    Here are the manuals, a link to which should really come on the phone:

    Hello jimmy ii
    The only option is to contact that person to have them remove Activation Lock from the iPhone. They can do it online and do not have to come to you. Check out the article below for more information.

  • HT201412 Normally the screen of the IPhone turns with you when you turn

    Normally the screen of the IPhone turns with you when you turn the phone on it's side.  Mine has stopped doing that.  My phone works fine, the screen just wont turn.  How do I fix that????

    Check to see if the orientation lock is on. Do you see what looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it near the battery icon in the status bar? Swipe upwards from the bottom of the phone to bring up Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the top row right. It is a toggle, white is on, black is off.

  • Music and orientation lock

    as almost everyone knows the iOS 4 is coming with orientation lock and the music controls come from the bottom multi tasking bar. I was wondering if the iPod touch second generation would get the orientaion lock and music controls there too or if it will lack those features and be stuck with the old music controls.

    I just upgrade and the answer appears to be no. I read else that at least in beta Apple for reasons unknown to me put this on the multitaskbar only available in newer 3G or later iPhones/iPods.

  • My IPhone orientation freezes / locks and the only resolution Is to restart the iPhone... Help!

    Hi everyone!
    im using an iPhone 6 Plus with OS 8.0.2 and sometimes when I unlock my phone the orientation is locked upside down or will not change to landscape mode...
    i've tried the following to resolve without any luck:
    - Lock and unlock iPhone
    - Turn on and off orientation lock (Swipe up)
    - Rotate iPhone in all directions to to try and force the screen orientation to change
    The only solution I have found which is really frustrating is to restart the phone with the lock and home button...
    Can anyone shed any light on this?
    Thanks!
    Scott

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • My iphone 5 has a lock on the rotation

    my iphone 4s has a lock on the rotation. how can i take it off

    Actually, it's the portrait orientation lock.  Unlike iPads, iPhones can't be locked in landscape orientation.

  • Can I use the display from the iphone or rotate so that I can use the tv in portrait orientation? or rotate the display of the tv?

    Can I use the display from the iphone or rotate so that I can use the tv in portrait orientation with a app or appleTV? or rotate the display of the tv?

    The landscape and portrait mode when AirPlaying your iPhone to the Apple TV will depend on the app you are in on the iPhone. 
    For example, the home screen on your iPhone is in portrait mode even if you rotate the phone, so if you are AirPlay mirroring this, it will show in portrait mode on the TV.  If you have photos taken in landscape mode and rotate your phone or watch a video in landscape mode, then the video should appear in landscape mode on the TV. 
    If things that should be in landscape mode are not in landscape mode, you might have the orientation lock turned on.  You can turn it off or on using the steps in this link: http://www.cultofmac.com/142535/how-to-enable-orientation-lock-on-your-ios-devic es-ios-tip/

    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.

  • IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

    IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • 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?
