Screen Rotation Bug with iPhone X on iOS 11

Hi,


I'm currently experiencing a bug where sometimes my iPhone screen wouldn't rotate in any apps (like screen lock has been activate, but it's not). The only way to fix it is to lock the phone and unlock it. Then the bug will come again after a while, I can't find a way yet to reproduce it every time.



I already try to soft reset the phone, but the bug keep appearing.



Has anyone experience this kind of bug?


Thanks for your help.

iPhone X, iOS 11.2

Hi Brenden,


When the problem appears, it's really like the accelerometer doesn't work at all until I lock the phone and unlock it again. I could try watching a twitter video in landscape and see it not working and switch like to the message app to try the landscape keyboard or try to see my picture and rotate the screen, and it won't work until I lock and unlock it.


I might have found a solution tough. I enabled the screen rotation lock and have done a soft reset, then disabled it and again soft reset. No bugs for 24h now, the bug was very frequent like every 10-15 minutes. I hope it doesn't come back.


I'll keep you informed.
