Screen position locked on iPhone 4
When i rotate the phone sideways the screen doesnt rotate, it stays in the same position.
is there a setting somewhere to turn this position lock off?
Message was edited by: B.Sellers
The home screen will not turn sideways. However, if you are having problems in other screens, double click the home button until the multitasking window comes up on the bottom. Scroll it all the way to the left and you will find the lock button. press it and the lock should disappear.

Light coming from screen under lock button (iPhone 5)
I can see a sliver of light coming thru in a crevice between the screen and the metal band, right below the sleep/wake button. Anyone else see that?
Keep me posted on the issue as it progresses compurhythm78. I've read on other websites I've found via Google search that people with this problem have taken it to the Genius Bar at the Apple store and they have replaced their phone with a new one as this is a common hardware problem with the iPhone 5. I wanted to make this post on here as this is more of a credible site to see if this problem would be covered under the warranty or if anyone knew how to fix it (if that's even possible). It's not like it's a huge problem with the phone, but I use the lock button quite often and it's just really annoying having to hit the button multiple times to get it function.

Audio drops and Screen position lock issues
Since upgrading to 4.0.1 I now have the screen lock icon (like the ipad) to the left of the clock. And the Audio drops all the time, music plays BUT no volume. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Ok,found the solution to unlock the screen orientation in either portrait or landscape mode. Found by double clicking the home button (multi-tasking)
As for the audio not working, still have NOT found the solution. -
My iphone screen stays locked in a magnified position
my iphone screen stays locked in a magnified position. Any icon fills 30% of the entire screen. I have tried resetting without any success. I also restored my phone using iTunes and the problem still persists.
Any idea of what is wrong?You probably have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers.

I completed the iOS 7.0.2 update and now my screen is locked in the Connect to iTunes position. I am not near my home computer so I cannot connect to iTunes. Please let me know if there is a way to recover this without connecting to a computer.
Use iTunes on any computer to restore your iPhone. Your data
will be gone, but your iPhone will be functioning. You can restore
when you get home.
You may wish to look into iCloud to prevent data loss in the future:

I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked
Hello,
i have an iPhone 5.
i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
i Have tried:
changing all all do not disturb settings.
checked call forwarding etc.
checked mute
my silent button is not on.
i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
oout it in recovery mode.
i Have no success with any.
the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
PLease, please, pleaseI Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?
I just upgraded to the iPhone 4. When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to. How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking? It's driving me NUTS.
The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

I have an iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2;
for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ? By the way, I do not have the "back up now" option in Setting / iCloud.. Help anyone ?Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?
Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen? -
My iPhone screen is locked and is saying it is not backed up, it says that it needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to a wi-fi network but I have done this and nothing is working!

When my wife receives a call and her screen is locked she gets two choices. Remind me and answer. When I get a call, I get 3 buttons. Remind me, message and answer. Both are iPhone 4S with ios7. Is there some setting to fix this? I thought the phones were set up identically.
Thanks.Glad it helped. I only remembered it was there because I'd just been checking something else in that screen.
Best of luck. -

IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB
Hello Everyone,
I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
Thanks and Regards,
Rajat S.ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.
