Lumia 521 troubleshoot

[Karl Kahambwe]

Every once in awhile, my phone won't rotate between landscape and portrait mode. For 2 weeks or so it hasn't let me switch unless I'm watching a video or something. It's getting really annoying because I have to text with one hand now. Somebody help please!

Welcome Karl!

Look in your phone settings for "sceen rotation"
See if the rotation is locked\unlocked

If that isn't set, try a soft reset.
(holding power and volume down until the phone restarts)

Thanks guys the soft reset did the trick!
