iphone 6 plus rotation problem

I am having problems with my new iPhone 6 plus. The phones screen sometimes does not rotate when I rotate in landscape mode, and sometimes it does. It seems like a software bug, and I hope its not a hardware problem. Also sometimes the icons rotate 180 degrees [it flips] and its stuck like that for a while. The odd thing is Safari does not rotate with it. So when I open a webpage the page bottom is near the thumb sensor, but the icons are upside down. Which makes me think it most likely is a software problem, but not sure.


Anyone experiencing this problem, any solutions yet?

rbylawski, thanks.



Since the initial report with v8.0.2, I concluded via several attempts/tests that compass re-calibration is only temporary. I also ran "Reset All Settings" however after a day rotation was again stuck in apps.


I have since updated to iOS v8.1 and have not had an issue after 6 days. I will continue to test and close issue #18686886 if rotation lock does not return in another week.

I just purchased 2 iPhone 6 plus today. One of it setup up fine. Set the display zoom to standard and rotation worked. My 2nd one took me 3 hours to figure out WTH is wrong with it. Tried "reset all settings," "erase all home screen layout" and still didn't work. I did the "Erase all content and settings" and rotation works. This is basically the factory reset. Through multiple trial and errors. I noticed the rotation always works until I restore it to my iPhone 5s restore point, which was done this morning. Don't know if this will work for everyone, but if you're still pulling your hair out, why not give it a shot? Btw, when setting up the 1st iPhone 6 plus, I also did a restore the another 5s i have. That one worked with no hick up. No idea why, but my problem is solved. Good luck guys!
