After the latest update on my iPhone 7 plus, when I rotate the phone to landscape, the screen goes black. It doesn't sleep as the sound is still working, and if I rotate back to portrait it comes back. Happens in apps and out of apps. Tried resetting phone, and nothing changes. Any suggestions?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.3
This was driving me nuts. Actually it is not related to landscape. At least for me it happens if I place my finger near the front camera ambient Light sensor. When you rotate to landscape your hands will often make the sensor go dark and therefore it seems to be caused by landscape. But as said, I can also replicate issue in portrait mode with 6S and 11.4.
Workaround: avoid blocking front ambient light detector (near camera) to not have this issue.
I have the same issue. Covering the light sensor above the top of the screen causes the screen to go black. I have 11.4.1 and still isn’t fixed.
Having the same issue since last update. It’s the front lens sensor that’s the issue. Not landscape. Not sure what they screwed up but if you put your finger over the lens the screen blacks out. Portrait or landscape modes.
I’m getting the same issue as of s couple of days ago. When my finger gets close to the camera (not necessarily screen touch - just about a cm away) the screen goes black.
You’re right. It’s the sensor on the front screen. Haven’t figured out a workaround yet expect recover the phone.
I found a post suggesting cycling off/on trutone or autobrightness restarting and it worked for me. Was driving me nuts for weeks.
So how did you fix it my phone doing it now
