Oct 20, 2014 6:18 AM in response to mannyvelby jennyp28,I have this issue as well. I've had the new iphone 6 for only a few days.
Any time I opened a number of apps : calculator, safari, messages, it changed my orientation to landscape even when I was holding it in portrait orientation. I had to turn on: Portrait Orientation: Locked
This works for now but is very annoying! -

Oct 20, 2014 2:09 PM in response to mannyvelby RobinSenior,I had this problem on my 5s and then my 6, and was able to fix it by recalibrating my phone's compass. Follow the instructions here: iPhone and iPad: Calibrating Compass and then reset your phone by holding the home button and lock button until it shuts off. Problem solved.

Oct 21, 2014 10:36 AM in response to mannyvelby WAYNE SEE,I am having the same issue too.
Bought an iPhone 6 128g from Japan today and noticed that the screen won't rotate to landscape mode. Turning rotation lock and off won;t help. Calibrating compass won;t help. Resetting to a new phone won;t help.
I am sobbing here.

Oct 21, 2014 5:45 PM in response to rkoorisby WAYNE SEE,Hi rkooris,
I am currently using iOS 8.1. Updated yesterday. And the screen still not rotating.
Do you think I will get a new phone replacement from Apple if I send my phone to the centre?

Oct 22, 2014 4:58 AM in response to mannyvelby jennyp28,I was having this no rotate issue with my phone among other issues such as, compass not working and the undo typing constantly popping up. I brought it to the Genius Bar last night and they issued me a new phone.

Oct 27, 2014 1:09 AM in response to mannyvelby WAYNE SEE,Sorry I has been a mistake.
Just found out that the home screen of iPhone 6 won't rotate to appear as landscape provided that you are using iPhone 6 Plus.
There is no issue with my new iPhone 6.
Browsers or apps like youtube, gmail do rotate by themselves and have no problem showing in landscape mode.
Thanks

Oct 31, 2014 10:25 AM in response to WAYNE SEEby Moog1337,So is it just me or has this problem not been completely fixed in IOS 8.1?
This problem started for me on my Ipad mini 2 ever since I updated to IOS 8 and also carried over to my new Iphone 6.
IOS 8.1 did not fix it.
I mainly notice this problem when using Whatsapp or clash of clans. When I open the application it will sometimes be in the wrong orientation and when I rotate the phone it will not rotate, what usually fixes it for me is if I double click my home button and go into multi tasking mode and then go back. I also noticed a video recording in the wrong orientation one time.
I would have blamed a hardware defect if it were not for my ipad having the same problem, which it did not have before.
