Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button on the right hand side now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.

Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

The autorotate on my IPad 2 suddenly quit working as well, I was able to get it to start working again by doing a complete shut down ( Holding down on the top power button then swiping off on the screen) Then just turning it back on. I have not seen the problem occur again.


My new iPad 2 had the same problem last night a few hours after I originally turned it on. Turning it off and on fixed it. Very odd that it occurred. I hope this isn't a common issue.

my iPad2 dose the same thing even after the 4.3.3 update.

the power-off dosen't fix this problem.

last time I had to restore from the latest backup to resolve this.

it looks like an ongoing problem with iPad2, which, Apple crew must look at and solve it.

this lock/unlock problem should not continue to happen.

Apple people are you listening to complaints?
