Q: iOS 8.4 screen rotation not working

iPad Air 2, 64 GB.  After updating to iOS 8.4 screen rotation NOT consistently working.  I have verified the screen lock setting in the control panel Is NOT set and I have done several hard resets (hold power button and home together).  rotation works for awhile then stops working, another hard reset fixes it.  This did NOT happen with iOS 8.3.  Anyone else seeing the problem?

    I' facing the same issue.

     

    Problem occurs on iPad Air 2, iOS 8.4 only at "first" wake up after it was locked for minutes.

    On my iPad it can be fixed by just another lock and unlock.

     

    Perhaps it could be related to iOS 8.4 slow wake on iPad Air 2

    This is what I've seen too.  A quick lock/unlock clears it.  A pain, but it works.

    Mine is set to off,  however I am still unable to rotate the screen, for example, I am unable to read email in landscape mode.

    Are there any updates on this?

    Are there any methods to rotate video clips?

    The screen orientation appears correctly when I am taking the video (landscape), but synced, they are in portrait and I cannot rotate them as I have the option to do with photos. I took 100 training/teaching videos over the weekend and they are unusable as is.

    Thanks!

    AS per other users, I have found that putting my iPad Air 2 to sleep, then waking with the power button offers a temporary fix. After Inset "reduce motion" to "off", the problem has not recurred.

    The only current work-around for the wake delay is to use a Smart Cover/ Smart Case (magnetic wake)

    Waking from Sleep/Wake button or Home button both cause the delay

    Waking from Smart Cover/Smart Case (magnetically) or by plugging into a charger does NOT cause the delay.

     

    The current work around for the screen rotation issue is to disable Reduce Motion as below

    If the Reduce Motion setting is turned ON under Settings/General/Accessibility/Reduce Motion, the screen will not rotate correctly

    If the Reduce Motion setting is turned OFF under Settings/General/Accessibility/Reduce Motion, the screen will rotate correctly

     

    An alternate & temporary way to correct the rotation issue

    With the device on/awake, simply tap the Sleep/Wake button once to sleep the device, then quickly again to wake the device. This should cure the rotational issue until it reappears after the device has slept for longer than ~15 seconds.

     

    Seems we are stuck with these issues & their work-arounds until Apple get it's act together and fixes them. Supply your feedback to them here please:

    To the people who had your posts removed. I know you'll recieve this.

     

    Both downgrading and jailbreaking are not supported by Apple. We can't help you here, Apple won't help you, you will void any warrenty you have left, You run the very real risk of turning you iPad into a very expensive brick. Don't do it. Don't even thinkk about doing it. Enjoy Apples new music service. The problems will be fixed, don't worry, be patient.

     

    Thanks again go to SergZak for his work to find a solution. Sorry that this is addressed to you but I needed a "Reply to" to get my warning in.

    Once again. No downgrading. No jailbreaking. Don't listen to anybody who tells you differently.

     

    Bob.

    I hope they will fix it soon. But I think they first had to fix the jailbreaking vulnerabilities too and then will release 8.4.1.

    Thank you. The rotation problem has been solved since turning off the Reduced Motion.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

     

    The problem is NOT resolved on many devices by turning of "Reduce Motion".

     

    It's hit-or-miss.

     

    I have three iPad Air 2's here - two LTE, one WiFi, all 128GB.

     

    Turning off Reduce Motion is not helping.  (Although it almost seems like the Rotation Lock issue is happening less).

     

    But really - it's still happening.

     

    And interestingly enough, I'm getting used to the motion.  Kinda cute.

     

    Later!

    same issue here, iPad Air 2 128 GB.

    QA seems to be an issue these days at Apple :-(

    Same ipad, and same issue here. Definitely an iOS 8.4 bug (iphone on 8.3 - no problem). I too have reduced motion turned ON because duh. Not as irritating as a distant relative or herpes, but thereabouts. Please fix Apple.

    I have the same problem, iPad Mini ME278LL/A. Toggling "reduce motion" does nothing to fix it. Sometimes a restart fixes it, sometimes not. But the issue always returns.

     

    I detest what Apple software has become. I wish the ghost of Steve Jobs would come and fire the whole QC division.
