Need to prevent phone from ever blanking screen..

locking as duplicate of [/questions/971909]
We have set the screen saver to "never". After a phone call the screen blanks and requires a on.off button push and unlocking. After a call the screen is blank. This is undesirable behavior for us and I am seeking a way to prevent it. I am writing an ap for a mildly disabled person. They cannot operate the on.off button on the zte open. They also have problems with the unlock mechanism for the screen which requires swiping from bottom towards the top. All swiping is dificult. They can successfully click on icons and anything bigger than the standard 60X60 icons used by the os. I want them to simply be able to make a phone call with a preset number. Currently the application I have pushed to the device does the following. It displays a screen with three commonly called emergency numbers with large icons. The user chooses one of these icons and the dialer is brought up with number already dialed in. The user then simply touches the green dial button and the number is dialed. This works exactly once. After the first time the disabled user cannot restart the application since the screen blanks and requires an on.off push and unlock to get back to a previous state.
Current problems.
1. The screen blanks after a call and requires too many unachievable steps to recover the full app. Recovering the app requires normally a push on the on.off and the unlock procedure, then a reclick to start the application. This is unachievable by disabled user. Incoming calls always work. Both incomming and utgoing calls remove ability of disabled user to make an outgoing call without intervention from care-taker. If screen did not blank during a call, the application would work .
2. Miscellaneous problems.
a. typing keyboard is difficult for abled users and impossible for disabled user.
b. application could be better if the dial step was removed. We understand the security problem.
c. We would like option for oversized icons, oversized text which we would balance with fewer applications on a single page.
Any solutions would be helpful. I/we are knowledgable programmers but we would prefer to write the a first application as a simple ap and not have to change the operating system in any way. If the above is only achievable with a change and reflashing OS we would consider that approach but currently we have not dived into that code and would prefer to avoid that approach. Is there a simple solution to force the phone to not turn off the display during or after a call that does not require a change to the OS?

  • How can I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?  I don't use it for music and need to prevent it from automatically activating when I plug in to my vehicle.

    How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?  I don't use the phone for music, and I need to prevent it from automaically playing music when I plug the phone into my vehicle.  I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.

    iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
    The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
    Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.

    Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

    How can I turn off the ability, to turn off the phone, from the lock screen for more security?

    There is no such option.
    There will be some additional features included with iOS 7.

  • How to prevent EDGE from ever being used

    Hello all,
    I would like to fully prevent EDGE from being used from my iphone. I do understand that whenever I have a wifi connection EDGE will not be used, however...I have also noticed that if my wifi drops for a second (which even happens at home ocassionally) then EDGE will kick in... I want to prevent this.
    I have already been told that if I remove the simm card then EDGE will no longer connect, but this seems like a poor resolution as I then lose the phone functionality of my iphone too!
    Is there any definitive way to opt out of EDGE? Will AT&T allow a user to say "block my account from using edge" ? Has anyone done this? I'm sure AT&T must have a way...
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I am pretty certain that you can call AT&T and have them remove your iphone data package. This would prevent you from using edge. However, it is also going to kill SMS texting because the two features are built into the packages together. I am basing this on the fact that I have spent upwards of 40 hours on the phone with ATT about my plan over different issues I have had, and during one of those instances, they removed my data package for several days, (supposedly by accident). During that time if I tried to do anything on the net, it would say cannot activate EDGE, you are not subscribed to EDGE.
    Call them and have them remove the data if you don't want it.

  • I need help removing bezel from my laptop screen

    I have a HP Pavilion DV4-1125nr laptop and I cracked the screen and need to change it but I can't seem to figure out on how to remove the bezel out of my screen so I can remove screen and get the model number from the back.  I removed screens before but they had screws on top of bezel covered by little rubber knobs and the dv4-1125nr doesn't have any of this and it looks like you have to remove the bezel using your hands but I can only pop out the top and the sides, the bottom doesn't pop out and I'm afraid to force it out in case I break it.  What am I misssing here?  Is there a trick to get it out?

    http://h20574.www2.hp.com/?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN&lang=en&cc=US&hpappid=psml
    From above url ( HP partner Services Media Library ), do the following;
    1. Select Laptops and Teblet PCs in "Product Category"
    2. Select HP Pavilion Notebook PCs in "Product Family"
    3. Select Pavilion dv4-1000 Entertainment Notebook PC series in "Product Series"
    4. Select either FRU Remove/Replace (AMD) or FRU Remove/Replace (Intel) based on your CPU type.
    5. It should bring up another window "HP Service Media Library" and then select Display Bezel ( Recessed ) to bring up the video and detailed procedure for you to open up the LCD Display Bezel.
    Have fun and keep this URL handy and you can use it for all your DIY works later.

  • My updates are showing i have 2 apps to update but wont connect to show what apps need updating just goes to a blank screen can anyone help

    My updates show i have 2 apps to update but when entering the app store and clicking on update it goes to a blank white screen and wont load.
    I have reset my wifi so its not that i have also tried it on a different wifi can anyone help please 

    iOS 4.2.1 is the final version of iOS that an iPhone 3G will run, so you will not be able to use any apps that require iOS 4.3 or later. There is no way to get any later version of iOS onto your iPhone without serious hacking, something we cannot discuss here.
    You do not get the option to update iOS directly from an iPhone until you have iOS 5 or later.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from ever automatically updating without my say so. It just did, and DESTROYED all bookmarks. I'm BUMMED about that

    There were NO .json files saved anywhere in the 'puter.

  • Can you prevent Firefox from EVER opening a new window without approval?

    Many websites open a new advertising window when you click ANYWHERE on the webpage. On occasion they are so ill-behaved that they effectively hijack your browser, not allowing you to close the window or navigate away, and rather than risk getting a virus I usually kill Firefox from the task manager... not exactly an ideal way to shut down!
    Is there any way to get Firefox to ask my permission before opening a new window, or ideally let me add websites to a whitelist so they are allowed to open new windows, or less ideally let me add websites to a blacklist so they are NEVER allowed to open new windows?
    I am well aware that this is "normal" behavior and unfortunately falls outside of the controls that prevent pop-ups, because in some cases you DO want to allow a website to open a new window, but in my experience this is the exception and not the rule so forcing me to approve the new window would be nice, but as I said being able to whitelist approved sites would be ideal.

    Thanks, dmcritchie! On your advice I have been using ADP for a couple of weeks, and I think that took care of my problem!

  • I am an online professor using Blackboard 9.1. Bb only works with Firefox 3.6 so I need to prevent Firefox from automatically updating. How do I stop the harassing update popups?

    I used to regularly update but I started experiencing problems with my online classes. Blackboard tech support said that your updates are not working so I had to uninstall and reinstall 3.6 and now everything works okay but I need to stop all the popups about updating.
    I already have it set so it asks first but I do not want to be asked.
    Thank you.
    Thank you. Patrizia

    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

  • AC3d conversion from AutoCAD2008 - blank screen

    It must be something simple. When I convert my dwg to pdf I do not see the model. It shows in the model tree, but I can not find it. Also shows in Toolkit, I have the layout page...the model is there ...somewhere. Is there a Zoom Extens command?
    Also when I am converting my .dwg I do not get the Conversion Dialog. (I am doing a tutorial here from MCAD, btw any other sources of good star-up tutorials?)
    Thanks

    Hi Laszlo,
    Right-click the uppermost part in the model tree and select "Zoom to Part" from the context menu. This should get the model into view for you. Then create a new default view.

  • Not having Flash prevents me from reading the screen in Safari.

    I don't want to install the Adobe Flash plug-in and didn't mind the warning that it was out of date. Lately, however, not having Flash installed brings up a warning that  "darkens" most of the screen along with it (the warning) and I can't find a way to dismiss the message and get my normal screen brightness back. Am I allowed to NOT have Flash and still use Safari?

    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off one by one and relaunch Safari again to test.

  • 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 prevent Mail from downloading messages from IMAP?

    I just set up Mail to use two of my email accounts for a very limited purpose that requires IMAP. As soon as it got the Gmail one created, Mail started downloading all 3,700 Gmail messages in my folders AND ARCHIVE. The x button did not stop the process. I don't want mail on my laptop hard drive. I set Preferences to "get mail ... manually" on both accounts. When I restarted Mail, it started downloading the rest of the 3,700 plus new stuff in the other account. How do I prevent Mail from ever downloading unless I tell it to? Email replies preferred because I am not in the habit of looking at discussions I've never seen before and hope never to see again. --John 
    <Email Edited By Host>

    This is what syncing is all about. It sounds like you deleted some mail while logged in on your phone.  This deletes it from the server.  When your Mac synced up with the server, it deleted the mail it had previously downloaded so it would be in sync with what was on the server.  In the old days, assuming you really wanted that mail deleted, you would have had to manually delete it from every device.  Now it does it automatically for you. Similarly, mail you send from your phone will also appear in the sent mail folder on your Mac; you don't have to check all your devices to find that message you sent last month.
    If you haven't already emptied the email trash, you should be able to get those messages back.
