My side button switch on my iphone locks and the screen rotation and the button where its suppost to lock the screen is now the silent mode. How do i switch them back to the way it was ?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4
There has never been a physical button on the iPhone to lock screen rotation.
Okay so ima describe it as clear as possible. So im on ios 7 and you know how if you slide the bottom up,that little settings tab comes out. On that settings tab theres the a icon that has the lock rotation. Yea my iphone,instead of the lock rotation button on the settings tab it has the silent mode button And on the side of my iphone instead of the silent mode switch its now the lock rotation switch.. I wanna know how do i change that back to normal ? My iphpne is not jailbroken
Locking screen rotation is achieved from the control centre. Just swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and tap the appropriate button.
The User Manual has been updated for iOS 7.
No i meant like where the non physical lock rotation button and the vibrate switch both do the opposite things from eachother and i wanna know how do i fix that
There is no mute button on the screen or in iOS.
Is or was the device jailbroken? Sorry, but nothing you are describing makes any sense based on the way iOS works.
This is not the way the iPhone (or iOS for that matter) works. There is no such setting.
Either you are mistaken or the device is jailbroken.
You dont quite understand what im saying...is there a way i can put pictures up on this so that i can show you my problem ?
Take a screen shot on the device then attach that image to the posting.
While you're at it, take a screen shot of the Cydia app on your device so we can confirm that it is jailbroken.
the first three images show you that my device is not jailbroken. and the fourth image as you can see has the silent mode switch there. thats what i was talking about. and you see the side little switch on the iphone and ho w its suppost to put the phone in silent mode.? yea my iphone locks the rotation when i move the switch. do you understand what im talking about now ?
I am having the same issue on my iPad. Is this a bug or a known issue or is it just a configuration corruption that requires a factory reset?
I would like to know how to make my phone do this if anyone knows how.
Hey this response is a little late for you however can benefit others withe same issue in the future.
So you had a very hard time explaining your situation mainly because the people who replied back were idiots.
First off it's not a glitch, and is not due to jail breaking your device. To revert back to normal settings first go to settings. Next go in the general tab. Look for "mute" (9th rectangle). Now in that section it will say what to use the side button for instead of having rotation inhibitor checked make sure to check mute. Problem solved.
Before you go calling others names, it's generally a good idea to know what you are talking about.
In this case, you do not know what you speak of.
There is not "mute" setting under General nor has there ever been any setting in iOS on the iPhone (the model being discussed here and the forum that we are in) for the Mute switch. At one point, there was a setting for the mute switch on the iPad, but again, that is not the model being discussed here.
So I guess I come from the future where only I have an ipad that lets me change what the side switch can be used for? How about next time you know what you are talking about instead of making yourself look like a total clown.
It may be to late to prevent YOU from looking like a clown, but to prevent others, you may note that this discussion is regarding an iPhone, not an iPad. Yes, that option is available on an iPad, not on an iPhone.
