iPhone 6 Plus Screen Orientation Sticks

iphone 6 128, same issues, the screen orientation lock is not on, but screen freezes/sticks in vertical when holding horizontal, after power down and up works but then sticks and is slow to switch orientation

Indeed, resetting all settings has worked for me. I have not been able to reproduce the issue since.

It worked for me too until it happened again a few hours later.

I held down the on/off button until it asked me if I wanted to restart the device. I hit cancel and the home screen returned to normal.

I REALLY hope Apple address this bug with the phone/ios.

Yea.....reset all settings worked for a couple of day....its back. I'm not going to reset all setting again, took some time to get all my settings back to the way I want. Apple need to address this issue.

I am also experiencing the upside down issue, and sometimes turning the orientation lock on and off again fixes it. I also cannot get the iPhone 6 Plus to go into landscape mode on the main screen from time to time. I'm going to try a reboot and see if that solves it or not, but it appears to be software-related and not hardware-related.

I'm on iOS 8.0.2, and didn't experience this on iOS 8 until the 8.0.2 update.

I tried the Reset All Settings workaround and the condition came back after about 48 hours. I'be powered down the phone and powered it back on which seems to help for a little while. This needs a root cause and a fix as it makes the phone very frustrating to use

Calibrating the compas fixed the problem for me.

I have the same problem with a 6+. I have found the same solution as you mentioned, Namely holding down the home and power buttons simultaneously. When the iPhone restarts, the orientation is back to normal. I have to think that this is a software issue and will be resolved in one of the upcoming updates that Apple is sure to releaseo

I had the same issue. I just set the display back to standard and all apps rotate ok. I set it back to zoom (the mode I want) and all apps keep rotating ok. I guess that is what Reset All Settings is doing. I've just done it, so perhaps in a couple of days the issue will come back, but at least if that happens I can do this again instead of reset all settings.

By the way, I have an iPhone 6 (not a 6+) on 8.02. This is definitively a soft issue, not a hardware one.

I was having this problem, but if you go to Settings > General > Accessibility, then turn off Reachability it will fix it. You can then turn Reachability back on once you've confirm the orientation has been fixed.

I am having the same problem. It is happening very often. When I turn on my phone it's in Landscape mode and I rotate it and nothing happens. It's stuck on landscape mode.

I turned off and turned back on and it is back to normal which is Portrait mode. It's ridiculous. Looks like it didn't get tested at all.

EExact same issue, iPhone 6 64gb. Gets stuck in lanscape.

Having the same problem. I just locked the orientation and it came back to normal. Hope it doesn't continue though because it's annoying having to do that each time.

YYes this is a minor glitch indeed. To fix this problem just make a call and hang up. This will reset the screen again.

IPhone 6 plus 64gb

i hold phone in a vertical position and attempt to call say for example *611 then hang up. Screen should return to normal.

Same issue on my iphone 6 plus
Ipad 3 or Iphone 5s in the familly have not that problem with IOS 8x
