Locking iPad Screen Orientation
Since my last iPad OS update I have been having problem with auto-rotate lock button.
When I ever I try to fix the screen orientation via switch on the upper right side of my iPad I see that it is enabling and disabling the sound. I though it was a bug introduced by new release.
After doing some internet search It turned out to be a functional change introduced by new 4.2 release and unfortunately when you do an update you don’t get to see a information screen informing you about this kind of changes.
Now I know how can I activate auto-rotation-lock. Here is what I found.
Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button on the right hand side now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.
Following iPhone article explains the same feature with an illustration.
