For some reason, when at the home screen, my phone won't change layouts. Is there a setting somewhere i'm missing or something?

it works in apps like mail and messages, but not when i'm at my home screen, any ideas?

I had the same problem it worked fine at first and then I did a restore from a backup. When I restored it enabled portrait lock since I had it on my other phone.

Trying turning off portrait lock. Once I did that it started to work again.

It's because you're in zoom mode. The home screen won't rotate when in that mode.

Check the display zoom setting and disable it if it's enabled.
