iphone 6 plus rotation problem

The simple fix is to configure the compass app. This fixed my problem permanently on my 6+.

Yeah, i was planning to get one, i just wanted to wait for all the selections to come out from different companies. But i wonder if i should wait. Man people are laughing at us we just bought a $1000 device that bends.

Get an LG 'Flex', it is 'bend' from the factory and cheaper..

Go to settings, display and brightness. Change the view to standard and will be well. Just talked with Apple Chat. Had same problem.

Well I have had my phone for 5 days now and today it just started to randomly switch the screen to upside down. If I rotate the screen 180 degrees the Icons are all the right way up now but the home button's at the top of the phone. It seems to get stuck in theta position for a while and then sometimes fixes itself or if I switch orientation lock on and then off again that sometimes resets it.

I also hope this is a software issue and not a problem with the phone. I don't want to be without the phone while Apple fix the problem when it's only 5 days old!

If it's a hardware issue, a refund might be in order.......

I'm using 64GB Plus in Gold and have this issue. The screen "flips" so the spring board is upside down. When turning on its site and back up right again it does nothing. If i slide up for the toolbar and choose screen lock it flips the screen back to normal but when i remove screen lock it spins back upside down again. Only way to cure it seems to be turning the phone off and on again. I've had this a few times now. View mode is set to Standard.

Yeah the iPhone 6 plus does have this issue where the springboard loads upside down as if it doesn't know which end is the bottom and hence gets stuck there. This happens most often when I slip the phone upside down into my pocket and take it out after a while. I am not sure about zoomed view, I have only used standard view and noticed this behavior.

Simplest Workaround:

- Slide open your control center (you may have to slide from the top since the view is inverted at the moment)

- Engage/enable your orientation lock (looks like an open lock icon with an arrow circling around it)

- This should bring back your display to it's correct orientation

- You don't need to re-start your phone, you may open control center and disengage/disable the orientation lock again.

Repeat if this happens again - it will. It seems to be an issue within the OS not being able to anchor the correct orientation but this is a guess on my part and I do hope this is not a sensor/gyro hardware issue.

I'm having the exact same issue. Sometimes it gets stuck in a particular orientation and won't respond to rotations in any direction.

Receiving a call while this was happening seemed to unstick it. Calibrating the compass did not; in fact, after calibrating the compass, it got stuck in portrait mode.

Thank you so much. I knew it was working before, but didn't realize it wouldn't work with it Zoomed.

Mahalo again.

I Think it is important to note that your issue definitely occurs and is not related to just choosing zoomed over standard view. My 6 plus has been having this issue constantly, being stuck in landscape or upside down. I don't want to jinx it but after updating to 8.0.2 my rotations have been great. Not sure if 8.0.2 code fixed it or the upgrade process cleared something out. I did OTA update. Crossing my fingers that rotation continues to function normally
