Orientation Screen stuck upside-down and freezing

iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8
My phones home screen flips upside down when the orientation moves around then freezes in that orientation.  It also happens while in the messaging app when it goes in landscape mode.  They only way I can get t back to normal is by shutting my phone down then turning it back on. Help!
Im wondering if this issue is a software problem/bug or a hardware problem?

I have been having this same issue repeatedly for the past few days as well.  My home screen as well as other apps like safari or messages also get stuck in landscape mode or upside down after unlocking my phone.  Since this issue is not isolated, Apple needs to address it with an update if it is just a software issue.  This is certainly annoying, and it is ruining my user experience.

  • IPad 2 screen stuck upside down

    I got a new iPad 2 for Christmas. Updated the software (iOS) to iOS 6 and then afterwards the screen turned upside down. I have done everything to try and fix and cannot get the screen unstuck.

    None of us can possibly know what this includes .... "I have done everything to try and fix and cannot get the screen unstuck." But did you try rebooting the 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • Playbook Screen Stuck Upside Down

    I don't know how to correct my screen. I have to hold it upside down with the power and volume buttons on the bottom, rather than the top when looking at the screen. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    There are orientation lock videos on youtube, like this one: http://youtu.be/ekh5tiHUzK8 , http://youtu.be/6uoQBbfh5uM etc.

  • My iPad mini screen keeps turning upside down and I cannot fix it, please help!

    When my iPad mini is in the upright position, the screen turns upside down and I have not touched the rotation switch, it just does this on its own and I cannot get it to go back into the right position. Also, it will not let me view it in the longside "landscape" mode. Can someone please help me fix this and tell me what is going on, why is it doing this? I have only had it for a few months and it is very upsetting to see it doing strange things like this without my prompting. Please help! Thank you so much!

    Or...

  • Screen turned upside down, writings went mirrored

    The screen on my ipod went bad, the screen turned upside down and the writings went mirrored. I have tried to reset AND restore it to no avail. The music plays fine, it's just the screen had become annoying. Any help please?

    You can try the usual apple troubleshooting:

    I am not entirely sure what the problem is from your description. Your saying that the display is acting like it is rotated sideways when it is not and the writing appears to be backwards?

  • Imported images upside down and blurred Lightroom 1.4

    Hiya everyone. First post on here so I hope I am putting this in the right place but hope you can help me. I have had a trawl through the archives but havent seen a fix for this problem.
    When I try to import images direct from my camera (Canon EOS 30D)into Lightroom, they have started to be displayed on the IMPORT page upside down and very poor quality. If I go ahead with the import they are displayed in LR proper in the correct orientation and clear quality.
    I have done a system restore back to a few days ago when it was working ok, and have tried uninstall and then reinstall. I have also taken my camera back to its default settings in case that is the cause, but nothing has worked.
    I am using the following -
    Lightroom 1.4
    Dell Studio 1535 laptop
    Windows Vista
    Intel Core Duo @2GHz
    4GB Ram
    Hope you can help as I am wary of putting all my photos on LR now in case it fails - I am using Picasa as a storage instead.
    Thanks everyone

    Are you going straight from the camera? Take my advice - don't. Use a card reader instead.

  • 2nd gen iPod nano has blurry, upside down and backwards text suddenly

    I have a second gen iPod nano and after a couple of weeks the screen is blurry upside down and the text is backwards. I have tried resetting it and restoring to factory defaults. Nothing helps. It is fully charged. I followed the troubleshooting instructions from Apple and I didn't find this listed on the forum.  Thanks for the help.

    I would have to disagree with you. I like the shake and shuffle feature. I would assume people also use ipods for travelling/commuting. Bus rides, trains, flights and so on.
    But, to each their own opinions I guess.
    Peace!

  • Screen is upside-down.

    My screen is upside-down in Windows, and it's not the monitor settings that did it. How do I change it back?

    Right click on the desktop and select Properties, go to Settings, Advanced. There should be an Intel * Chipset menu, click that.
    Somewhere on the menu should be a rotation setting. Check that it is set at 0 degrees.

    Open Organizer and edit its Preferences to turn off all the Media Analysis options.  For good measure, disable Watch Folders, also.

  • When I open an ap or a safari page the screen tips upside down.  The screen doesn't automatically move to fit the direction the ipad is sitting

    I have an I-pad retina.  Starting yesterday I noticed when playing a podcast video I could only view it with the screen in rectangular mode instead of the horizontal.  Starting today when I open an app or a page in Safari the screen tips upside down.  In other words, it doesn't follow the direction in which I'm looking at the screen, I'm constantly having to make the adjustment myself.  How can this be fixed?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
