iOS 8.4 screen rotation not working

iPad Air 2, 64 GB. After updating to iOS 8.4 screen rotation NOT consistently working. I have verified the screen lock setting in the control panel Is NOT set and I have done several hard resets (hold power button and home together). rotation works for awhile then stops working, another hard reset fixes it. This did NOT happen with iOS 8.3. Anyone else seeing the problem?

My home screen wasn't rotating after updating even though the rest of my iPad did rotate correctly. A reset did the trick for me.

Same issue here with iPad Air and iOS 8.4. Hard reset fixes it for a few days. Seemingly related issue: I had noticed that my screen was much dimmer recently. I had to turn brightness up much further than before to get the screen looking the way I wanted. A hard reset fixed this as well. Will have to see if this issue returns along with the rotation issue.

As far as I know, this is an iPad only problem. I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 6. No problem with the iPhone, but I do have the problem on the iPad. Neither is jailbroken.

The "delayed wake from sleep" and "rotational issues" apply only to the iPad Air 2 under iOS 8.4...and now also under iOS 8.4.1.
