Since latest upgrade the screen won't rotate to landscape even though the lock icon shows unlocked. Any ideas how to fix it?

My screen looks like your screenshot 1 with the rotate Icon. I have already tried the following:


Hard reset (Home and sleep button till seeing the Apply sign)

Switching between using the side button the rotate or mute

Resetting all settings

Resettling just Network Settings

Formatting the whole Ipad back to factory and loading from backup


Any help would be much appreciated.
