My iPhone 4 does not "switch" from portrait to landscape mode in any app. Is there a way to fix this? I'm running 5.0.1

My phone does not toggle between landscape and portrait mode any more. This is, as far as I tested, in any application. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi ckuan,
Thanks a lot for that fast reply. Must have touched that lock button by mistake without noticing.
Stupid me :-D. Btw happy new year!!!!!

Can I lock Portrait or Landscape mode?

the iPad has a nasty habit of sometimes switching modes. I would like to lock the mode until I unlock it. I have looked through Settings and did not find a "lock" key.

The screen lock is the slide switch on the right side of the iPad ("right" when held in portrait orientation).
You may want to peruse the iPad User Guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPad_UserGuide.pdf
That will answer a lot of questions for you.

[iPhone] How to change Portrait / Landscape mode.

I am tring to change view mode between portrait and landscape mode.
UIViewController has two UIViewes and I want them to be shown as a landscape mode.
I found the property of interfaceOrientation in UIViewcontroller.
but it is readonly.
Is there a way to change view orientation not with info.plist but with code.

You can call setStatusBarOrientation on the UIApplication class and then set your landscape view.

Portrait/Landscape mode switching

I'm still waiting for my imate JASJAM (which is same as HTC
TyTN) to arrive to test this. Just wonder if there is Actionscript
to detect if the display is in Portrait or Landscape mode and if
there is event notification to tell the Flash Lite app that the
display mode has been changed.

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

Why will iphone not play video in landscape mode anymore

I am a HUGE purchaser and user of iTunes Music Videos and on my iPhone, I was happily playing them in playlists and watching them in landscape orientation as a video playlist.
I was quite upset when I bought my first iPad and found that it simply would not support this basic (for me) functionality.   But I searched and found a music video playlist app and purchased what SHOULD HAVE BEEN included functionality on the iPad.   Seriously, if the iPhone could do this basic operation why shouldn't the iPad, which is much better suited for video playlists with the bigger screen?
Now, after updating to iOS7, you've broken the functionality even moreso.   Imagine my joy, surprise and sheer level of cursing and swearing when I turned my videos into landscape mode and found some dickbag has decided I should see album covers instead of my video in full screen on the phone.
So, Apple, the "We sell devices so that we can also sell the media" company,   why are you screwing with something that should be basic and intuitive on the phone and ipad?
I, and I expect everyone else, expect to open the music app, go to the music videos playlist automatically generated in that app (BY your programmers) and then be able to play the videos from the video playlists you allow me to create - my own playlists in both portrait and landscape modes.
So please fix this ever-increasing pain in the ***.    I will not be purchasing any more videos (And yes, check my history, I am quite likely in the top 5% of purchasers of music videos) because you are slowly removing the intuitive methods for playing them.

A revolutionary A7 processor with 64-bit architecture, and none of those bits are smart enough to figure out "hey, maybe if my owner is listening to a video in the Music app and switches to landscape mode they're more interested in seeing the video larger, not unrelated album art thumbnails. Let me temporarily borrow the landscape view logic from the Video app."?
I hope they fix this at least by iOS 8. It's not logical (let alone user friendly) to exit out of the Music app and go into a separate Video app just to see a music video in landscape. The ironic thing is the Video app forces videos to be landscape – as if the logic it follows is that anyone watching a video really wants to see it in landscape – but yet that logic gets kicked off the boat when the video digits cross the river over to Music app land.

WiFi icon disappears in landscape mode

On my 32GB iPhone 3G-S running version 3.1.2, while in Safari or Mail, the WiFi icon disappears when I turn the phone from portrait to landscape mode. I am still connected to the WiFi network OK and can use the applications fine, but there is no verification that I am connected. For completeness, I am currently in Europe and have placed the phone in Airplane Mode to avoid international roaming and data charges.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Well - I appear to have, at least temporarily, solved this problem by doing a phone reset. Icon is now staying visible in landscape mode after the reset.

Placeholder doesn't center in a uitextfield in landscape mode

Hi,
I have a placeholder for a title and I want that it remains centered both in portrait and landscape mode. When the title is set, there is no problem, the autosizing mask works well, but if there is the placeholder it doesn't work. I also try to set the palceholder from code, but nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Kinda weird problem you got there. Have you tried re-flashing the firmware?

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.

iPhone 6 - I can only send photos in landscape mode via iMessage. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo. Gone so far as erasing all content and settings. Problem persists.

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:

So long,

Since the upgrade to 8.1.2, I can only use "messaging" in landscape mode and not portrait. Anyone else having this problem?

I unable to view or type messages vertical or portrait mode...it appears to be locked in horizontal or landscape mode. Any suggestions?

What user troubleshooting have you tried? User steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. There is no lock for the iPhone in Landscape mode, so I believe a reset should help. Also, double-tap the home button and bring up the multi-tasking bar, find the Messages app and then swipe upwards on the app thumbnail to force it closed.

TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

Try following - 1 by 1:-
* make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
* turn off mobile and turned it back on
* hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
* resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
* resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
* restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
Cheers!

How to make sure text in landscape mode appeared in portrait?, How to make sure text in landscape mode appeared in portrait?

I think a few pictures speak a thousand words. I try to get creative and design some pages in landscape mode.
This is how the TOC looks like in landscape. As you can see there is a chapter and many pages. I didn't use sections to make sure that they don't appeared as a list in TOC page.
This is how Chapter page looks like.
But when viewed in portrait mode. nothing appeared.
How shall I make sure that at least the text in chapter page goes there?
Thanks!

If I add a text box, it does not seem that inline is an option.
When I create the chapter page, the bottom part is empty, but I do not know how to add text. If I add a text box, it is not inline.
I hope to be able to add inline text which appeared at the bottom, possible?

Iphone 6 won't lock into landscape mode, keep switching back to portrait mode

Hi,
Please help me, this has driven me nut, I can't seem to lock my iphone 6 into landscape mode, it will only lock my screen when I am in portrait mode.
For example, if I open safari and turn my phone sideway, safari would turn into landscape mode, and if I want to lock my screen to keep it in landscape mode, it won't do it, as soon as I select that screen lock button, it will turn back to portrait mode and lock my screen up into portrait mode.
What should I do to keep my screen lock at landscape mode??? I have tried this with several apps and the same thing happen, like in Calculator, when I turn it sideway and try to lock it, it goes right back to portrait mode.
I restored my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5c so just wonder if it has anything to do with that or just some bugs in iOS8???
My current display is in Standard and not Zoom display, and I even try to set it as Zoom and then reset it back to Standard to try to see if it works and it still doesn't work.
HELP ME!!!!

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode.
