Like the title says, my screen won't rotate.

I know that you can lock it, and it would show the little lock icon in the top right of the screen if this was on, but that feature is disabled...

I started to notice that a few of my apps would open, and then for some reason they would flip upside down, and I couldn't get them to reverse, I just had to flip my phone around.

Now I've noticed that not only does it do that, I can't get the screen to rotate if I flip it sideways. Like watching a video or browsing on a web page. It's just stuck straight up and down (which is better than it flipping upside down like some apps I guess)

I can't imagine this is a setting, but I'm really hoping my phone isn't messed up. Any ideas? Thanks
 
Sounds like a potential hardware issue. Might want to talk to Apple about it.
