My phone won't go in landscape anymore?!

Why? Out of nowhere it stopped working, it's annoying I can't watch YouTube big screen. Yes the auto rotate box is on. I guess I'll try a reset but anyone else had this?

By reset you don't mean factory reset do you? Just do a "hard" reset, with the phone on hold down the power button and the volume down button until the phone reboots. Should take about 8 seconds or so.

Rebooting usually fixes it. If that doesn't work: Uncheck the box for auto rotate, reboot, re-check the box and reboot. It may just be confused. (Try yelling loudly at it too?)

No I meant reboot off and on lol and I already did and it fixed it, I thought of that while I was making this thread which is weird thanks though!

Yup my maxx has done this 3 times since I've owned it. I just restart the phone. Hoping a future update will fix this and hoping it's not a hardware thing.

Has happened to me also. It seems to follow after a screen time out while being in landscape.
Have pin pointed any particular app, yet!
Reboot always fixes it

My phone does this from time to time as well. Mainly, when I am playing temple run, and the motion controls stop working. Then I try to text using the horizontal keyboard and it will not turn horizontal. The only fix I know of is to just restart the phone. After that it works fine but it gets annoying!

my razr also did it and when I was taking pictures they were all showing up upside down. Reboot fixes it.

Yes rebooting helps but I find with mine if i just push the power button to put my phone in stand by wait a few seconds then again it usually works fine. But there are times you just need to reboot.

I have had this happen only once. I just put mine in "sleep" mode and then woke it back up. That was my fix.
