Phone is"stuck" in portrait mode and will not switch to landscape when tilted. Have I inadvertently locked it?
Youtube works plays in landscape, but normal operation of tilt is gone. Any clues?

You may have orientation lock on. Is the icon denoting orientation lock present?
This is covered in the manual:
Shows that the iPhone screen is locked in portrait orientation. See “Viewing in Portrait or Landscape Orientation” on page 32.
Thanks for the quick response, all is now good.
Following the Manuel does not work with 4.0 up,as a double click of the button only takes u to multitasking, not to a screen to change the orientation. Any ideas?
From p. 33 of the manual...
Lock the screen in portrait orientation: Double-click the Home button, flick the bottom of the screen from left to right, then tap the icon.
Thank you for quick response.
I do not have an icon showing lock is on but I will check the manual for advice.

I have the same problem (inadvertantly locked screen in portrait) and I am using 4.0 - the manuals answer (p32) doesn't work. Can anybody tell me how I unlock the orientation lock?
My phone has been locked in portrait for weeks. So glad this helped me unlock portrait setting. It was driving me crazy.
Another way of doing it would be while holding phone in PORTRAIT position, swipe your finger from bottom to top. A menu will pop up. Tap on the 'lock' icon identical to the one on your top right screen to unlock or lock.
easy peasy, thanks.
How do you lock/unlock orientation of display. Portrait to landscape?
