Screen orientation

I am using a 5c. I can't change the screen orientation although the orientation lock is NOT on. Any other suggestions?

Hi Ralph,
Yes, this is exactly my problem. The lock button is definitely black, not white and I did go to messages or even facebook, the screen wouldn't rotate. This is particularly annoying when I try to answer a message and I can't get the rotation on the screen to make the keyboard a little easier to use. Next suggestion?

How do you turn off larger dynamic type on the iphone4 when your screen orientation is locked (vertically)?

So I have the iphone 4 with the latests update ios7.
So I went on settings > general > accessibility > larger type.
And I clicked "on" for "larger dynamic type"
Now my font is so big I can't even see apps that I have and such
I want to turn it "off" but my screen orientation is locked! (I can't move my phone horizontally) I think if I can move my phone horizontally I'll be able to see the on/off button for larger dynamic type.
I tried sliding the bottom upwards to turn off screen lock orientation but it's not on my screen because my font is set to a really big size that the "screen orientation lock button" didn't make it to the screen

Turning on Dynamic type and increasing it shold not have that effect.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

IPhone 6 Plus Screen Orientation Sticks

i have a 64gb iPhone 6 plus the screen orientation can go wrong pictures are upside down and then you have to power off the phone
any person with the same problem
Come on Apple get to right

It's not a hardware problem so far as I am concerned. Hardware problem would indicate that the accelerometers are "sticking" and making the phone think it's actually upside down.
The weird thing is - on mine, when this happens, the springboard screen is completely upside down upon unlock. If I continue to hold the phone right side up and I open any apps - they will correctly launch in the home button-down orientation. Once I leave said app, springboard is still upside down.
If it were an accelerometer (hardware) issue - then the apps would also load in the incorrect (upside down) orientation. It simply is a bug with Springboard and I have no idea how to reproduce it - but I can say that it seems to randomly just decide to wake from sleep upside down.
For me - the only way to "resolve" the issue is to restart the phone by either powering off and back on, or by holding both buttons until I see the apple icon (warm reboot).
For clarity - I am using a 128GB 6+

Programmatically change screen orientation and/or resolution?

We don't have VB.NET available and I was wondering if it is possible to create VBA code that would change:
1) screen orientation (and maybe resolution)
2) on a specific monitor (in a multiple monitor setup; we have two)
The idea would be to put it into an Excel workbook and have the macro autorun then exit.
I see examples for C#.Net but can't find any for VBA. Maybe it's not possible. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: ANY MS Office application can be used as long as it can be used via a shortcut on the desktop and run automatically. "One click and done" is the idea.

Hello Doug,
I believe you can use Windows API functions to get the job done.
Anyway, the current forum is for Office Apps. I'd recommend asking VBA questions on the
General Office Development forum instead.

Hi Dougmeister,
I agree with Cindy that the VBA doesn't have function to achieve the goal. Also there is no function in Excel object for this requirement.
The way we can achieve the goal is that using Windows API as Cindy motioned. And here is an helpful article talking about this topic:
Office Talk: Working with VBA in the 32-bit and 64-bit Versions of Office 2010
And about Windows API issue, I would suggest that you get more effective response from
General Windows Desktop Development Issues forum.
Hope it is helpful.

Tablet PC Screen Orientation

I am writing an application for MS Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and need to utilize the hardware rocker switches which come with the tablets. The problem comes when users rotate the screen. Hardware rocker switches have new directions after rotation but generate the same key codes. I guess I need to detect the orientation of the screen and adjust the reactions appropriately. Can anyone on the forum tell me how to find the screen orientation of a tables PC?
Thanks

I'm not sure, but just a thought... the screen isn't square, so does the Toolkit class return the correct screen dimensions for the screen's orientation? If it always gets the right dimensions, even when changed while the app is running, then you can infer which direction it is (if width is larger then height, it's one way, else the other)... unless you can rotate it to face all 4 sides... then that wouldn't work, I guess.

Change View State Based On Screen Orientation?

I'd like my app to change layouts based on the current screen orientation. I believe this is done through view states. I have three questions...
1) How do I check the current orientation?
2) Is there an event listener that will tell me when the orientation changes?
3) How do I toggle between view states?
Thank in advance!
UPDATE: I figured out the answer to question 3...
currentState = 'yourStateName';
UPDATE II: I figured out the answer to question 1 as well. I simply used the Capabilities object to determine the screens current width & height, then compare the two. All of this is in a function that gets called when the app launches:
public function checkOrientation():void
     var screenWidth:Number = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
     var screenHeight:Number = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
     if (screenWidth > screenHeight) {currentState='yourStateName1';}
     else if (screenWidth < screenHeight) {currentState='yourStateName2';}
Now all I have to do is figure out how to call this function when there is an orientation change. I tried the code below but get the included error:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, checkOrientation); // ERROR: Access of undefined property stage
Why can't access the "stage" property???

Air 2.6 Screen orientation

I'm trying to get this Air 2.6 feature to work again.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/891/cpsid_89107.html
Changes in AIR 2.6
Screen orientation changes in 2.6 namespace
Based on the release doc, it says "The swf is required to be compiled with the flag "-target-player=11" to make use of supportedOrientations API."
How do I "compile with the flag" ???
I'm using Flash CS5 to publish .swf
I got the adt cmd line working.
My AS3 script:
addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, onOrientationChange);
function onOrientationChange(event:StageOrientationEvent):void {
trace("onOrientationChange:"+event.afterOrientation);
...and process result.
Thanks,
Alfred

StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE and StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING are not part of the supportedOrientations API. If you want to prevent Portrait, you can do that like this:
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, orientationChanging);
private function orientationChanging(e:StageOrientationEvent) {
if (e.afterOrientation == "default" || e.afterOrientation == "upsideDown") {
e.preventDefault();
That trick will work with AIR 2.0 as well as AIR 2.6, and without requiring player 11.

I have the older generation ipad and the screen orientation is locked. I don't seem to have a switch option under General. Can you help me?

Ipad orientation of screen is locked. I don't seem to have the command for switch on general systems settings.
Any ideas?

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, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
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 buttons.

The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button. Any ideas?

If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), 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.

Screen orientation is locked in landscape mode

Screen orientation is locked in landscape mode.

Swipe up with 4 fingers, slide to the right, and tap the orientation lock button on the left of the music controls. If this button is not present, and instead replaced with a button with a speaker icon, slide the switch above the volume controls on the right side of your iPad. If that does not work, put your iPad into DFU mode (hold down sleep/wake button for 3 seconds, in addition to the sleep/wake button, hold down the home button for 10 seconds, and then, let go of the sleep/wake button, and hold the home button for 20 seconds, or until you see the "Plug in to iTunes" screen), plug into your computer, and force restore. Then, it should be fixed. Good luck!
Thanks,

Screen orientation settings

Home is really great, but has a flaw that I'm sure others noticed, too: there's no screen orientation lock, and we're suffering from reverse portrait orientation flu!
The reverse portrait orientation makes us lying-down-in-bed readers unable to browse our links comfortably, and most other apps haven't enabled it by default (a professional Apple-esque approach), while others, who still ignored the mode, also included a screen orientation lock (see MobileRSS for a great example).
Please fix this ASAP!
Thanks!

The solution lies with the Sync team and the software, not the hardware. For instance, that software workaround only applies to iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod touch 3G users, leaving everyone else, myself included, out of the multitasking feature in iOS4.
