Screen rotation locked iphone 5 s

My iphone 5s will not come off the "locked rotation" I've tried all the forum tricks still nothing! Please help!

Hi ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your screen will not rotate as expected, try these troubleshooting steps:
Not all iOS apps are designed to rotate. Some may use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen does not rotate as expected while using the calculator app, continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, restart your iOS device.
If the screen remains locked, back up and restore your device.
If the display orientation still will not change when rotating your device, follow these troubleshooting steps.
You can find the article with these steps here:

  • K1 screen rotation lock problem

    To all the experts on the board,
    I bought a K1 tablet and played with it for a week. After the system updates, everything works reasonably well except the screen rotation lock. I push the screen lock button down as instructed, but the screen still rotates. Any idea how to fix the problem? Many thanks in advance!

    I've had the K1 for over a year now and I have noticed some trends with the rotation lock slider not working correctly.
    First off, I want to make clear that when I say the slider isn't working correctly, I mean that even with the Rotation Lock OFF, the screen stays in whatever position it was last in, whether it's portrait or landscape, no matter how much I move or reorient the tablet. The notification for the slider pops up on the screen as if it were working normally switching between locked and unlocked, so it doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
    When the rotation lock does stop functioning, a system reset serves to fix the issue for a while. After a few days on standby or with intermittent use, the rotation lock stops working again.
    As a side note, applications that are landscape only can force the tablet out of portrait and applications that are portrait only can force the tablet out of landscape, however when the applications close, it's hit or miss if the tablet stays in the new orientation or jumps back to the old one.
    Also, I have noticed that the rotation lock never started acting up until after I inserted a microSD card. Can anyone else verify that this trend happened for them as well? What's even stranger is the fact that at first the card wouldn't even mount, but as soon as it was inside the tablet, that's when I noticed the rotation lock wasn't responding. It was a 32GB microSD high capacity, so I chocked it up to the firmware of the tablet not being compatible with such a large sized microSD card. I tried a smaller microSD card andeverything seemed to work fine. The only reason why I went back to the 32GB card is that I happened to try it some time later and the system was able to read it.
    I really like the tablet and it's kind of frustrating that there's still not really a good solution to this. Any feedback or help would be appreciated.
    Thank you kindly,
    MW

    Why is there no screen rotation lock?

    I understand that how you lock the screen to prevent it from auto rotating has been changed in OS4 but when the iPad goes to sleep the locking of the screen gets turned off and it starts auto rotating again. Anyone know how to lock it until you turn it off yourself. Thanks.
    Check again. My screen stays locked even after a shut-down and a reset.

    The old screen rotation lock is now a "silent" switch which can be used to selectively silence system sounds like alerts, key presses, etc.

  • IPhone Screen Rotation lock

    Upgraded my phone and a new rotation lock icon appeared at the top. Finally figured out how to turn it off.
    Double click menu key and move icons to left and it will expose the rotation lock icon. Just press. Easy once you know where it is.

    Double tap phone button and slide icons over to expose iPod controls. There is a rotation icon. Just press and "Shazzam" unlocked.

  • Screen rotation locked!  HELP!

    Well, my new iPad 2 with 4.3.5 has a screen that wont rotate.
    I've tried everything listed here...switch on and off...hard reset...restore from iTunes...nothing seems to work.
    Any advice?

    Have you got rotation lock on (is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator) ? If so then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Take photos off from broken (black screen) and locked iphone

    I have iphone 5 and unfortunately LCD and digitizer are broken. I can not see my screen at all and it is all black. I want to take my pictures off from my iphone but when i am trying to connect to itunes it is saying  in order to take back up i have to unlock my phone. But i am not able to unlcok my phone since it is broken and screen is all black. I suspect my touch screen is not working as well. My phone is working when i press the home button siri answers as well.
    I was able to retrieve photos from photo stream of icloud. But i had not shared my all photos in photo stream. There were only few photos in photo stream rest were in the album.
    Any help would be appreacited!!!

    So I tried connecting it via iPhoto, but it doesn't show any photos in import panel (may be it is locked). I tried to get photos from icloud but again as i said it only gave me photos off from photo stream and not from photo album.

  • Any way to actually lock screen (not screen rotation lock)

    Was wondering if there was any way to lock the screen so that if the screen was touched accidentally, the iPad would not respond? This would be helpful in situations where the iPad was passed from person to person while showing pics or to prevent inadvertent touches while watching a movie etc.

    No. Only real solution is to NOT touch the screen when handing it off.
