IPhone 3 screen active for too long

Hi I have an iPhone 3 and have a problem, if I am out and use the phone the screen remains active for too long, leaving me standing there with phone in hand waiting for the screen to become inactive before I dare put it back in my pocket (Because otherwise the stupid thing does things like ring numbers in my numbers directory or activates an app in my pocket)...
I am sure there must be something that we can do apart from stand around like an idiot with phone in hand before the **** active screen deactivates...

I need it to go to sleep sooner than the 1 minute default to avoid accidental dialing when putting it back in my pocket.  There does not seem to be a way to set it to 30 seconds , or is there?

  • IPhone screen stays on too long

    Can anyone tell me why my screen would stay on longer than a minute when the phone isn't being used? Sometimes I've noticed this when it's attached to a music dock or via USB to my laptop, but lately it seems to stay on even when it's sitting on my desk unconnected to anything. Easy enough to shut off the screen by pushing the button on top, but I'm using up battery power I don't want to, and it seems like the phone should go to sleep sooner than it is.

    Many thanks.
    I see how it happened. I'd turned on a password lock for a couple days a while ago, and when I turned it off, I set Auto-Lock to "never," thinking this was the way to turn off the password lock.

  • My Iphone 3g will not unlock if its been locked for too long

    just as the title says and all these issues too....
    Whenever my phone is locked for too long it will not respond to any button presses. the only way i can get it out of that is if i hard reboot it but happens again afterwards. the only way to keep it from not acting like that is to keep it plugged in constantly.  also if i try to shut it off normally it will power on by itself right after its shut off.  ive tried to do a full restore in recovery mode and that didnt even solve the problem.  any ideas?

    Anyone? C'mom, I know some of you techie type folks know how to fix this!

  • Why does Firefox close after being opened for too long with no activity?

    I need to leave an image loop playing on my computer continuously but the internet browser seems to time out after being opened for more than 14 hours. Is there a way to keep my internet browser opened with out activity for as long as I choose?

    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
    '''https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866''' {web link}
    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
    issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
    to have been fixed in v30.
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.

    Your coding mask is exceeding the limit of 24 characters(including special characters). Reduce some characters to make it 24 or less then 24.

    can't start up my ipod 5thG and stay remining the logo of apple for too long don't know how to do????

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ORA-00494: enqueue [CF] held for too long (more than 900 seconds)

    Hi ,
    I am getting this error , the database is in no archive mode and there is frequent log switch.
    However following few metalink notes I have set the hidden parameters like
    killcontrolfile_enqueue_blocker=false

    I wanted to reduce the frequece log switch how to reduce it.

    One way is to make the size of the redo logs bigger and another way is to do some less work :)
    Changing Redo Log File SizesEach Redo Log File member in a Group must be identical in size. If you need to make your Redo Log Files larger, use the following steps.
    1. Use the V$LOG view to identify the current active Redo Log Group.
    SQL> SELECT group#, status FROM v$log;
    GROUP# STATUS
    1 INACTIVE
    2 INACTIVE
    3 CURRENT
    4 INACTIVE
    2. Drop one or more of the inactive Redo Log Groups keeping at least two current On-line Redo Log Groups.
    3. Use operating system commands to delete the files that stored the dropped Redo Log Files.
    4. Recreate the groups with larger file sizes. Continue this sequence until all groups have been resized.

  • DFS Error 9061 (Replicated folder offline for too long) won't go away

    We have a server that got disconnected from a DFS replication group for too long. The error says to remove the server from the group and re-add it. I've done that about 6 times and I keep getting the error. I even tried deleting the replicated folder on
    the server so it would copy from other servers but the error just won't go away. How can I get rid of it and get the folder replicating again?

  • Our TC has been a door-stop for too-long ...

    Our TC has been a door-stop for too-long ... so I was thinking of blowing the dust off it & giving it another go ... the .n wireless would be very welcome, but will Time Machine work with it, and are the dreaded curtain & sparesbundle problems as thing of the past ??? I'm nervous - if it works, then great, but if those problems are still around ... nightmares

    I not sure how I can properly answer your concerns with the Time Capsule (TC), but my suggestion is to give it another try. Make sure that you perform a "hard" reset to clear its current configuration and use the AirPort Utility to configure it as you see fit. I also recommend that, if not already, to update both the TC's firmware (7.3.2) and the AirPort Utility (5.3.2) to the latest versions.
    I can't say that you (or others) didn't experience issues with the TC, but for the majority of folks it has worked "as advertised." I would suggest that you start with using Time Machine on just a single computer and let it run for a week or two to verify proper operation. Once satisfied, go ahead and add additional TM backups for your other computers.

    how can i go to DFU mode if my sleep/wake button doesn't work? my phones been stuck on the logo for too long.

    You can't. Either get your phone fixed at a third-party repair shop, or go to an Apple store & they will replace your phone for US $199.

    Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
    You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
    One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
    The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

  • Will the MBP speakers blow if I play it on max. volume for too long?

    Will the MBP speakers blow if I play it on max. volume for too long?

    Depends what you call too long. Leave any electronics running too long it will eventually break. Might take years, but no mechanical system is immortal. No computer has yet been built around superconductors either, so heat alone would cause circuitry to fail if it is always powered. While leaving on the machine all the time (except for bad weather) is a good idea since Mac OS X is able to do that, individual components I would not always leave in use. Use your energy wisely. Not to mention max volume for too long could theoretically make you deaf if you listen to it all the time.
    Use common sense.

  • Can you charge the battery for too long?

    I know that with cell phones if you leave the charger in for too long the battery starts to lose life. Is it the same way with the macbook or did the engineers work out a way that you can keep the charger connected for as long as you want and it won't drain battery life?
    I'd like to charge the battery whenever I go to sleep but I'm afraid that it will have charged too much by the time I wake up. I learned that the hard way with my cell phone, which seems to lose power much quicker than it used to.

    Hi,
    since Apple recommends to never remove the battery while running the MacBook on AC-power, it is the logical conclusion.

  • Is it possible to damage iPhone screen by pressing too hard?

    I have an iPhone 5s and I take really good care of it and want it to last a long time. I have an Otter Box and a screen protector and stuff to keep it in good condition. Sometimes, if I press the screen a little bit harder than usual, I notice that it looks liquidy for a second and the colors become wavy and distorted for a moment. The condition goes away after I release the pressure. Could I be damaging the screen when this happens?

    But is it possible to damage the screen by pressing too hard, regardless of whether you have a screen protector?
    Absolutely. You're talking about a glass screen over sensitive electronic components. It would be rather difficult to do with a finger, though.
