iphone 6 plus rotation problem

I finally gave up and downgraded to the regular 6! It hurt my feelings but the 6 works flawless!

I am on the verge of doing this. I should not have to go through all these for a such an expensive device.

I just did the clean install...didn't work. I had a half dozen crash logs while I was still on with apple support.

They're escelating it to engineering tomorrow.

Same problem with (regular) iPhone6 on standard view - the screen will not rotate in several different apps: camera, photos, email, messages, etc.

I restarted the phone, and it started to rotate. However, it seems like it can easily happen again... has apple acknowledge this issue? Proposed a fix?

Thanks!

THE FIX IS TO CONFIGURE THE COMPASS. I DID THAT AND ITS WORKED FLAWLESSLY SINCE.

Sounds promising... I went to Compass app, and it indeed need calibrating (just turn the phone in all directions until it's happy).

We'll see... I'll post again here if it has issues still with rotation.

(for the record, this seems an easy fix - thanks! - but Apple cannot really expect all users to stumble on to this thread... Do we know if they have formally acknowledged this issue? Confirm the fix with the setting?)

hmm

Compass calibration didn t fix my issue , 8.0.2 neither , reset factory setting or reboot neither too.

Look like ZOOM mode with no springboard landscape mode fix my rotations issues.

It sounds like you've got a hardware problem. I call Apple and get a replacement.

So my phone had been doing this with increasing frequency since I got it. At first I thought some of my apps didn't support landscape and then I thought it was just a calibration issue. When the phone opened the home screen upside down and nothing could fix it (except for time or a restart) I looked up this thread.

I tried calibrating the compass and that lead me to discover this - this is what the phone thinks is level. It's obviously tipped and angled in order to get the crosshairs aligned.

Here is the "horizon" level but the phone is tipped at 45°.

This is the phone sitting on a level surface.

So in my case resets, recalibrations and what not didn't seem to have any direct effect. It would come and go and so I took it to the Apple store where they looked at it and then said they'd never seen anything like it and replaced it. I think it was a sticky or faulty gyro although I thought there were two working in combination so I suppose it could be software if they aren't working together correctly.

Anyway, I got a new phone and so far so good. If you don't hear from me again it's fixed.

Same problem. Did all the fixes mentioned here and elsewhere. It goes away and then comes back. FIX please.

I replaced the phone and have been getting issue on new phone as well.

I wonder if its a software issue. Or a hardware issue and I got extremely unlucky to get defective piece twice.

I went to the genius bar this weekend. My genius had his own iPhone 6 Plus and said this happens to him and his friends with iPhones 6 all the time. He said to wait for an update and that it is a software issue. I hope he's right!

So far so good - the new phone has worked perfectly...
