How Do I stop the phone from locking while the navigation program is running.

I have a Blackberry 9630 V4.7.1.40. The phone is on an enterprise server network through work. The phone is set to password lock after a couple of min. of non-use. When I have the Sprint Navigation program running, the phone locks after a few min and loses my satellite. I then have to type in a password to unlock it and I then get the signal back.
I called Sprint and they said to press a button after every couple of min. to keep the phone "active". That sounds a little fishy to me!
How do I keep the phone from locking while the Nav. Application is running?
Thank you for your help

Agreed, that is the simplest thing to do... probably much easier than talking your IT guys into raising your timeout.

  • How can I stop my phone from going into the lock screen while talking on it? (New issue with ios 6)

    Prior to ios 6, I could talk on my phone and have the mute button available. Now it goes into lock mode while speaking on the phone. This is terribly annoying when on conference calls and you want to mute/unmute, or just hang up a call. I now have to swipe to unlock, go to phone, and hang up or unmute. I've tried upping my timeout, but that just delays the inevitable.

    Yep, it's a pain.  What's even more concerning is that at the Genius Bar, he was trying to tell me that this is the was it was supposed to be, so they probably fixed it in OS 6.  He said it is for people that are using "Bluetooth" and want to keep the phone in their pockets".  Ridiculous!  What compounds the issue is that the Apple Reps have no clue as to what's going on, and either do the senior tech's on the phone.  As I said in my message, this has made it very cumbersome, and makes it very difficult for those who need to use wired headsets.

  • How can I stop my phone from muting in the middle of calls?

    When pressing "send" and making a call, Six boxes pop up on the screen, one of them being the muting option.   My problem is that face or ear touch this button while I'm in the middle of a call.  I need to be able to manipulate the options that come on the screen everytime a call is placed, in this case being able to have no options on the screen while in the middle of a call.  Is this possible? if not, it should be; on the next upgrade.
    -Thanks

  • I have a iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought unlocked in the UK. I have just moved to singapore and have been told the iPhone won't accept a sim here as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock. Will this be the same for my ipad?

    I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it.  Will I have the same problem with my ipad?

    Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
    It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist )

  • How do you prevent your phone from locking during voice calls?  Mute/unmute features?  Are there any?  Please help?

    Here is the problem - I am often on conference calls.  My company, for security reasons requires that I use the lock phone feature.  However, I will be on a call, I have muted myself, then the phone locks.  I then have to key in my password, and unmute my phone.  This prevents me from "jumping in" the conversation appropriately.  I either sound like I'm not paying attention or worse, I'm talking over someone else and seem rude.  I have tried to search for any of the following features on the iphone 5 c.
    Prevent phone from locking during phone calls
    Set a button on the phone as mute/unmute
    Find a headset that has a mute/unmute feature
    I am not the only one at my company struggling with this so I'm thinking others might be too and that there is a solution!
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    Sounds like you need to upgrade to the iPhone 5s
    The 5s has Touch ID
    You can unlock your phone with your finger instead of typing in a key code
    No swiping to unlock either, just touch the home button
    You can enrol multiple fingers as well
    Here is a video of it in action
    http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
    Or wait and see what iPhone 6 has to offer
    That being said, as desiel vdub posted if the phone is up to your face, the proximity sensor should turn the screen off
    And when you lower the phone turn it back on again
    Not sure about the phone locking when your on a call doesn't sound right

  • How do I stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport?

    Sorry I post this here, but I couldn't access the developer forums (no error given, it just keeps returning me to this page https://developer.apple.com/devforums/) I'm not even sure wether that's been moved here and it's just the redirection non working.
    I need to Stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport, or in other words, to stop it from trying to "fit" the layout into the viewport.
    Why?
    Because any recalculation javascript does on absolutely positioned elements makes the whole site super IRRESPONSIVE.
    I don't know wether the issue is the element going out the already-set layout viewport (which triggers the page resizing to fit the visual viewport) or just the calculations being made constantly, but I can stop the calculations from happening when not "touching" the screen, but I need a way to stop the page resizing.
    I tried setting the viewport width to 1040px, as my layout width, and it fixed the header's width being narrower than the body (or shifted left?), but the whole page is still resized with every motion-frame (one every 3 seconds, due to overloading the redrawing engine)
    Is there a way to prevent that?

    No, that link doesn't solve it. It just says the same is found everywhere online.
    There's probably no way to do it, as per their way they "accidentally" omitted the oposite case: the page being wider than 980. They only mention what to do if the site is narrower. Something I learned is big companies (with reputation management) could let you run in circles for years no answer rather than telling you something is not possible.
    I'm the developer (can't access the dev forums, don't know why) and I DID setup the viewport, scale and other properties but none of them stopped from re-fitting the new re-sized layout in the viewport. They just ensure the "initial" view.
    I think the feature I'm looking for must be achieved with some JavaScript function targeting Safari-proprietary variable/property… if even possible.
    I just had to make things never reaching the edge until somebody contributes something useful

  • How do I stop  Guest Account from appearing on the login screen?

    All of a sudden - like since I upgraded to iCloud - my login screen displays "Guest User". I have Guest disabled in Accounts. The only account I have active is mine. I don't want Guest to appear on the login screen. How do i stop it from doing so?

    Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
    This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.

  • How do I stop my phone from downloading every email when updating software?

    Everytime I update, or have to restore my phone it decides to download all emails that I have deleted previously. How do I stop this from happening?

    If you network operator supports it, I suggest that you try to enable the automatic time update function in the phone.
    Menu > Organizer > Clock > Options > Settings > Automatic time update.
    See if that might solve the problem.
    If you still are having problems with this or if this is not supported by your network operator I think this will have to be checked at a repair center.
    In that case contact your local support team for more info.

  • How do I stop Java processes from appearing on the dock?

    I have a Java application that has a fairly extensive build process using ant. It builds fine on OSX, but constantly annoys me. There are a large number of unit tests that run using JUnit, and each test starts in a new Java process. The problem is that when each process starts (and there are about 100 during the course of the build), a new Java icon appears on the dock and stays until the process finishes. First of all, that slows down the build (since it has to do all that graphics work to keep changing the appearance of the dock). Secondly, every time a new process starts, it takes away the keyboard focus from whatever I'm currently working on. I either have to click in the window I want again, or else wait for the process to finish.
    On Windows, this is handled with an alternative version of the JVM called "javaw.exe" that does not get a foreground window. However, I see no "javaw" in the Java directory on OSX. Is there some option to start Java with that will stop this dock updating? Note that there are times when I want the dock to be updated (when I'm running a "normal" Java app).

    Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
    This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.

  • How do you stop a movie from playing past the end?

    I uploaded a video to Vimeo I made from various clips and there was about 40 seconds of black after the end. How do you add a marker so it knows where to stop and hopefull return to the beginning. I already put the 'stop' marker in but it plays past it in the elements editor and assume that's what it did in the uploaded video. I believe 'stop' marker is only for DVD play.  I have Elements 11.

    Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline. Make sure that the slider is all the way to the right so that you are at maximum expansion. Then, as Hunt suggested, hit the End key and inspect the area where the Timeline Indicator stops. These possible fragments/leftovers present typically as very thin vertical black lines scattered in the tracks. After you delete any such fragments, repeat the process to make sure you have all the fragments.
    The major reason for me adding to this thread was to remind you never to put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. It is a bad practice to fall into. It is not needed and creates all sorts of problems especially as seen in burn to disc.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thanks.

  • How can I stop my phone from nagging me about "Sof...

    I removed "Microsoft Apps" and "Social Networks" from my (Nokia Belle) Mobile, because they are of no use for me. Futher I do not intend to use "Lotus Notes Traveller-U..." for the same reason. How can I stop Nokia Suite and - more important - my mobile from nagging me about installing / updating these packages? I really don't want the heavy payload (19 MB total?) of these packages on my tiny little "C" drive.

    Hi @Kharol
    You can deactivate the "auto search" by going to "Menu", "Software Update", "Configurations".
    I know this can be annoying because I've uninstalled some preinstalled apps too.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!
