When I rotate iPhone 4s through 90 degrees, Safari doesn't go to landscape orientation. When I exit with Home button and reopen the app, it finally goes to landscape.
Same for Camera app, Calc app etc.
Seems the auto-orientation to landscape broke since I installed iOS6. Auto orientation to portrait works, but not the other way.
I tried hard reset, any other suggestions?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6
Double click the home button, then swipe the bottom row to the left. You should see the leftmost icon appear as a rotating arrow - an arrow in the form of a circle. If there's a padlock inside the circle, click that icon and the padlock will go away, and you will have re-enabled the iPhone's rotation. If there was no padlock, you won't be able to change the device's behavior this way.
Did you actually read what I wrote: when I exit the app with the home button and reopen the app, it finally goes to landscape.
Obviously I'm aware of the orientation lock setting and it is not activated. Still Safari will only go to landscape after I exit with Home button and reopen the app...!
Try this... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

I've now discovered that when I lay the iPhone flat on it's back and wiggle a bit, it will go to landscape. But not when the iPhone is upright.
Is my orientation sensor out of whack?
It should normally work when the iPhone is upright, shouldn't it. At least that's what I remember it doing earlier.
After speaking to Apple Care, turns out to be a hardware issue.
iPhone replaced under warranty.
Glad you got it sorted and thanks for posting back.
Enjoy.
Since iOS6, auto-orient to landscape broken. Safari, camera, calc etc!
