Turn phone sideways and it won't turn back

I've turned my phone sideways and wrote texts and the phone screen won't turn back when I turn the phone upright. 
Also, when turning my phone sideways, trying to send a text using the microphone at the left of the keyboard, the screen goes blank.  It still takes my text down and when pressing the button to turn the phone on, ends my text writing. 
Anyone else had these issues?

Update-  took it back to Best Buy and questioned the screen going blank after I hit the microphone button to try and send a text.  Guy told me it was 'user error' because I could make it do it, but he could not.  He said it was "well known" through i-Phone users that the phone is supposed to be powered down once a week, however I know many people who have this phone who have never powered down and still do not seem to have the issue(s) I am describing.  Bottom line I could not return (has not been 30 days) because he could not show valid reason.

  • My iphone 4 was acting up so i turned the fully charged phone off and it won't turn back on

    my iphone 4 was acting up like th escreen wouldnt respond to my tough or the home button
    so i turned the iphone off and the battery was around 95% so i know its not becuase its dead
    and it won't turn back on
    the screen did she the apple logo like it was about to power on but then it went black and hasent done anything since
    i have plugged it in to my ocmputer and the wall charger and have had no luck
    any help??

    Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes.
    The, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

    My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
    What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
    You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

  • My iPhone screen doesn't move when I turn phone sideways

    WWhen I look at a web page or picture, it stays in vertical position even when I turn phone sideways. How can I fix this?

    Hi Eileen@@,
    If your screen still hasn't been able to rotate, I would recommend you take a look at the troubleshooting information in this article:
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Some apps don't rotate. Some might 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 doesn't rotate when you rotate the device, try these steps:
    Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
    If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
    If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
    Get more help
    If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
    Restart your iOS device.
    If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore you

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • My iPhone suddenly turned off by itself and it won't turn back on, what to do?

    So I was just texting with my iPhone (with 35% battery life) earlier and when I check my phone again 5 mins later, it completely turned off. So, I tried holding the sleep/lock botton on top + the Home button (for more than 10 sec) and it won't turn on.
    So I tried plugging my iPhone to the wall-adapter charger and it turned on (with a 100% battery life?), but seems like all my settings have been resetted and I was advised to connect with iTunes. Then I unplugged my iPhone and plug it onto my computer to sync. I waited, the apple logo comes up and then it turns off again, logo comes up and turns off again (constantly doing that and it's not going anywhere).
    Did my whole iPhone battery just died or something? I repeated the process and whenever I unplug the phone from the wall-charger, my phone completely turns off. When I plug it with my usb-to-computer, the apple logo comes up and goes. Any one can help?

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

  • My iphone can't be recognized by itunes and it won't turn on fully..

    My girlfriend bought an iphone today on craigslist..the man who bought it said that it was jailbroke but he didn't use it very much. The program was cydia. We went the the att store to get some accessories and the techician did a restore on the phone. Now it won't turn on, it is stuck on the apple icon loading screen, which is a snowflake now, and it isn't being recognized by itunes! What should I do?

    Unfortunately for you, jailbroken phones void Apple's warranty.  In addition, you forfeit your right to any support from Apple including from this forum.  Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.
    This is why it is never advisable to purchase a phone from anyone other than an authorized reseller.
    You will need to search the internet for a solution to your problem.  Keep in mind that most jailbroken phones will never again work properly, if at all.

  • My iPhone 4 suddenly shut of and it won't turn back on

    I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
    Please help me..

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.
