ipad Air 2, IOS 10.2.1 Periodically after being left on a table the iPad will be locked in Landscape mode. Only a restart returns portrait mode. Any ideas?
 
Hello - my iPad Air 2 on iOS 10.2.1 has occasionally shown the same behavior probably since first upgrading to 10.x - likely a bug in the device (accelerometer and/or the iOS installed) - some discussion HERE; also, if you simply google 'ios 10.2 ipad locks orientation', plenty of similar hits will be listed.

Nothing seems to be specific to help, either in settings or in manipulating the buttons - I've eliminated the locked orientation in a variety ways, e.g. sleeping/awakening (while closing & opening my smart cover), performing a restart, or less often doing a reset which is the most irritating - cannot add much more that the information found in the search suggested.

Thank you. I suspected as much.
