IOS 8 landscape bug

not fixed at all .. I have 8.2 this is exactly the same issue

So far so good on my iPhone 6 running 8.1. Please, please, please!!!

The new update is 8.1 - That's the one that Apple says fixes the bug.

I haven't updated to it yet to see if it has fixed the issue for me. At least we know it is a bug and that they're aware of it.

My guess is that it is linked to some setting (or few combinations of settings) that some people may have and that's why not everyone sees it happen. There was a bug in an audio book app that only occurred if you had the "triple click" option turned on in accessibility features (something that was totally unrelated to the app).

Exactly. At the risk of 'jinxing it', I believe my rotation bug had disappeared even before 8.1 - simply because in Accessibility I had turned off Zoom, which was for some reason on. Now I have updated to 8.1 and so far it has not appeared, fingers crossed.

I Have big issue with this on my iPhone 5 as well

Mine is better since 8.1 update but I still have it. Keyboard doesn't seem to freeze up like before but screen still goes black sometimes and it comes up like I'm doing a voice text. Haven't contacted Apple again. Anyone else with this same thing?

Same here. Better but not fixed.

Still a problem with iOS 8.1.

After updating to 8.1, it seemed to be fixed, or at least I didn't notice it. But lately, the I'm noticing the problem has returned and is as bad as it was with 8.0.2. So at least for me, this problem is not fixed. I'm on an iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1 has this problem. Powering off (not resetting) and on clears it (at least for a time).

I have found that when the screen/keyboard freezes in iMessages, I just shake the iPhone gently and all is back to normal. However, I don't think Apple meant to have the "shake gently" feature for iOS 8.1.

Just to add to the many pages of this discussion. I first encountered the bug when upgrading my iPhone5, I thought that because it was an upgrade rather than a clean install maybe there was a bug. I then upgraded to a new iPhone6, I did not restore from backup, rather I installed everything new, initially the phone was fine but its started having the same rotation bug as the iPhone5. I am running the latest release 8.1 but still a problem. Its a real shame that silly simple bugs like this can appear with a new release version of an OS.

I hope Apple are acknowledging the issue and prioritising this as a next version fix. Its one of the key important phone functions that you expect to work above many of the more whizzy things that have been added.

Hi all. Just my two cents here. I am new to iPhone. I've had a 5s for about a week (after 4 years of Android) and during the first days this was not an issue (and I use A LOT of screen rotation constantly due to the smaller screen), but ever since yesterday I have stopped closing the apps from the multitasking area (which were a habit of mine from the Android era) in the belief that with iOS it is not necessary (nor is it with Android). So today this bug shows up, my screen is rotating everywhere one minute, but won't rotate at all the next, no matter where I try it. So I closed all the apps from the multitasking area (double press the home button) and the screen started rotating again.

I do not know what exactly does closing an app from the multitasking area mean to the apparently quite buggy OS, but if it indeed does free RAM then this would be similar to the reset via the lock and home button combination that other folks are here suggesting.

Long story short, closing all the apps from the multitasking area worked for me instantly.

Running IOS 8.1.2 on an iPhone 6 Plus (128GB) and I can tell you putting the phone in landscape is almost impossible sometimes. In landscape apps crash like no tomorrow. For instance in Safari when I go to watch a YouTube video. Other problems I get is it will not go into landscape mode and when it finally decides to it freezes and then I have to kill the app and restart. I really hope Apple comes out with an update soon to fix these problems. It appears I'm not the only one who's experincing this.

I have this bug too, iPhone 5S, since iOS 8 update... (currently running 8.1.2)

Apps now only load into portrait mode, rotating phone doesn't activate the auto orientation switch, reseting/powering off phone cures this for an hour max but there was still a big delay in the switch.

I have found that swiping up (left/right : D ) the control centre then swiping it back down forces orientation switch to landscape (while in landscape position) but this is no long term solution and it needs fixing in the next update, i already submitted a bug report to apple on the release of iOS 8.

Gentleman, after a long ride, I finally got it. Its the FaceTime-App! You can reproduce the bug each time after you´ve used the FaceTime-App. Tested on iOS 8.1.3. It´s a nightmare but you can just make a reboot and everything works fine.

Dear Apple-Support, please fix this s*h*i*t* asap! I really appreciate it.
