Seriously, somehow unkowingly I pressed the locked button. And since then I had it that way thinking I might have broken my phone or messed up with the software or something.
But, thanks to you. :)
Someone said: Omfg thank you sooooooooooo dam much !!!!!
Someone said: Thank you! It worked. I tried everything and just could not stand typing and surfing the web in portrait. For the few it didn't work for, it took me a few trys since I am use to sliding on the main screen. After you pres the main and only button twice, slide your finger along the shirt cut icon area (right above the button) toward right so you are moving to the left side. Once you get to the far left, there is lock button. Click and it should work. Thank you for saving me a trip to apple store. Great post!
Someone said: Thank you as well, I was thinking I should get my Manuel out!
Someone said: I don't understand a thing! MY apps are RANDOM when I scroll them and I don't even understand what the 'same icon as on the top IS'. Each time I scroll them all to the left I have a different app and not next to the music (ipod) app!!! I'm still having the same problem. My iPhone 4 (bought last week!) ONLY turns sideways when I view safari and not when I use anything else..inlcuding the keyboard! I'm SOOOO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW!
Someone said: omg thank u sooooooo much i had no clue wht was wrong with my phone
Someone said: OMG.!! GOD BLESS.!! lol I started getting worried.!!
Someone said: it helped me 2! thanks so much!
Someone said: Yeah that's all great and everything, glad everyone else fixed it but me. I turned off the lock and every application will flip to landscape mode EXCEPT my messages! Help!
Someone said: Thank you thank you so much! I also though I had to go to
The apple store you saved me so much time. you are a lifesaver. :)))))
Someone said: Yay!!! Thank you!
Someone said: thanks for the info.it works
Someone said: My phone will turn sideways for everything it's supposed to EXCEPT for texting and I've even tried making my font smaller. Nothing has worked.
