I replaced the battery in my iPhone 6 with a Coolege knock-off. After reassembly, at first the screen orientation would no longer rotate to landscape and the flash/flashlight would no longer work. I took it apart again and made sure all cables were securely connected. Now, the flash works fine again, but the rotate is still locked into portrait mode.
Hi @deaconblues Did you check your settings to make sure that lock rotation wasn’t accidentally turned on during your repair? You can find this setting in the control center that comes up after swiping up from the bottom of the screen:
same problem: screen rotation not working after battery replacement! shake to undo, compass and level functions still working fine though…but the screen doesn’t rotate anymore in any app. already checked the “block rotation“ in control center. I’ve been super concentrated durning the replacement I should have done everything perfectly…there is no way I damaged the gyroscope…any idea??
