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.

Yes, this works!I backed up, reseted (first turned off Find my iPad on iCloud), started as new device, updated to 9.0.2 from iTunes and restored eveything. It's working. No rotation issues whatsoever.


I had done a soft reset and it didn't work. So I contacted Apple Support and they suggested the previously explained method which I followed succesfuly.

They said this issue was addressed in 9.0.2 update. Though you still need to do a full reset, yes, it was resolved for iPad Air 2 WiFi 128 GB. Hope it helps!
