Auto-Lock and Passcode Lock

So even though I'm not the dumbest rock in the box, I cannot for the life of me understand the difference between auto-lock and passcode lock. When I go into settings and then into general, I have set my phone to auto-lock at 5 minutes. I also have set a 4-digit passcode, but I don't understand what the "after 1 minute" setting means. What am I missing? I've read p. 98 of my user's guide over and over, yet I still don't get it. Thanks for any help and for resisting comment on my learning curve.

So would my 5 minute passcode lock "override" the 1
minute auto-lock?
There is no 5-minute passcode lock. You have them backwards.
Auto-lock (which is more like "sleep") is the one that has the various times you can select. But the screen does "lock," in that you have to swipe your finger across the screen to "unlock" it.
Passcode lock adds the 4-digit code to the process. The time you've specified for Auto-lock (1-5 minutes) still applies. The display will go to "sleep" (i.e., "auto-lock") within that amount of time.
But say you've just put the phone down temporarily -- right in front of you, while you're doing something else -- and you see it go to "sleep." Do you want to have to enter your passcode immediately, or do you want a 1-minute "grace period," giving you the chance to pick up your phone and "wake it up" without having to enter the code? That "grace period" is what "After 1 min." means on the Passcode Lock page.

  • No alarm in auto-lock and passcode lock, 3rd party recommendations?

    My iPhone 4S and iPad mini alarms are set to wake up time of 6:30 am every day. I use the built-in Apple Clock app. Both devices are set to auto-lock and passcode lock. A couple of times, I have overslept and have been late for work because the alarms have not sounded. Did this start happening with an iOS update? This is especially irritating when I am away from home and not waking up when family members are up and making noise early, like a backup alarm. Some 3rd party alarm apps will sound when they are left open and the auto-lock and passcode lock are on (always). I would much rather use the Clock since it is part of the Apple bundle of apps. I can't say Clock is "free," because I paid for it with the standard apps. I hope a good substitute third party free app is available, I am willing to try, because I try to avoid throwing good money after bad. Any recommendations?

    It should be working regardless of the lock screen. Try deleting all alarms, then re-adding.

  • Auto lock vs Passcode Lock

    What is the difference between Auto lock and Passcode Lock?

    auto lock and passcode lock are two different things.
    auto lock is to turn off the display)when you leave the phone unlocked and not use it( it's something like a screen saver that comes up in your computer screen after a while of inactivity, you can set the time in the auto lock section.so if you choose "never" it won't lock(turn of the display).this feature is to save battery life when the screen is turned on and your are not using it.
    passcode lock is to lock your phone with a passcode(either simple or complex).to un lock your phone you have to enter your passcode(since you are using iphone 5, i am not going to talk about the finger print sensor).this is like locking your computer with a password.you can set a timing as well to ask for the passcode.
    you can see just the auto lock or the passcode lock and you can use it in a combination as well.
    lets say for example if you set autolock to 1 minute and passcode lock to never, and you unlock your phone and  just leave your phone on the table with the display on, the auto lock will click in and lock your phone in 1 minute.when you unlock the phone you dont have to enter the passcode since you set it to never.
    but if you set the passcode to immedietly or 1 min with the same auto lock setting, you will need to enter passcode when you unlock the phone.
    i hope i made it clear enough, you can just play with the settings and see for yourself.

  • My deceased brother's IPad was given to me but it is locked and passcode protected.  I do not want access to the data on it, but would like to be able to use it.  Can it be unlocked and reset to factory settings?  Thanks!

    You can try this: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If he had not turned on Find My iPad then it will work, if he had you will run into Activation Lock. If you do run into it you can take a copy of the will (or probate finding if he died without one) and/or a Letter Testamentary and ask if they can look up where he purchased it. If they can, and you have the other documents, they can reset it for you.

  • Re: what is difference between sap locking and database locking

    Hi Paluri
    Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
    Regards
    Ashish
    Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
    Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
    SAP Locks:
    To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
    The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
    Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.

  • Dead lock and Blocking Lock

    I would like to understand what is major difference between Dead Locks and Blocking Locks in Oracle. If someone could explain or point me to good web Link I would really appreciate
    Thanks.

    Tony's advise is very good.
    In simple terms a blocking lock is a lock being held by one session that is preventing another session from performing an DML operation on the same data until the holding session commits or rollbacks.
    A deadlock is a situation where two or more sessions lock data in such a manner as each session is waiting on a resource held by another session so that none of the session can complete their unit of work. That is session A locks row 1 then session B locks row 2 followed by session A attempts to lock row 2 while session B now attemps to lock row 1. Neither session A or B will ever be able to complete thier transaction releasing the locks and allowing waiting sessions to process since each session is waiting on a resource that the other session has while holding a resource the other session needs. In other words a deadlock. Oracle detects deadlocks and kills one of the sessions freeing resources.

  • Cap Lock and Number Lock

    I recently upgraded my MacBook to Leopard two days ago. Just a few minutes ago, I needed to hard restart my mac (i've been having problems with this, i'm having it checked on fri. in the genius bar). I noticed when it restarted the num lock and cap lock button lit up. When i press them again to turn off the light. my "letter" buttons can only type with numbers. When i have the num lock on the keyboard works fine. Same with the cap lock button. It needs to be on in order for the letter NOT be capitalized. Is there a way to fix this?

    I guess it was glitch. I restarted my computer and it works fine.

  • Different between database lock and sap lock

    Hi All,
    What is different between database lock and sap lock why sap introduced locking mechanism.
    Thanks
    Santosh

    From a database perspective, every dialog step forms a physical and logical unit:
    the database transaction.. The database lock administration can only coordinate
    this type of database transaction. From an SAP point of view, however, this is
    not sufficient, because SAP transactions, which are formed from a sequence of
    logically related work steps that are consistent in business terms, are generally
    made up of several dialog steps. SAP systems need to have their own lock
    management. This is implemented using the enqueue work process. This also
    ensures that the platform-independence of the lock management is maintained.

  • DV4 flashing caps lock and num lock lights

    My laptop, an HP Pavilion DV4-2040US, has stopped booting up recently. The day before this problem come about I was using the laptop perfectly fine. I then went one day without using. When I turn on the laptop it booted up but nothing showed up on the screen. Then the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK lights started to blink on and off.
    I did some researching about the blinking lights and what they mean but I don't think mine is listed on there. It says the pattern will repeat a couple of times then shut off, but mine doesn't. The pattern is the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK both blink once every 3 seconds (about) and keeps blinking every 3 seconds forever. The only time they stop blinking is when I shut I down by holding the power button on the laptop.
    I've tried disconnecting everything and holding for 15 seconds and even tried holding it for 30 seconds and that still didn't fix the problem. I called HP support and the guy who I talked to told me it sounded like a motherboard issue, but he wasn't sure exactly and told me to ask here for help.
    If it matters, I can hear the fan turn on for about 2 seconds then stop. Also all the touch sensitive buttons light up too$

    Please, someone, anyone help me. I am having this exact same problem as we speak It happened after i put the laptop to sleep overnight. The LEDs for capslock and numlock blink consistently but slowly-approximatelt 2-3 seconds. When started up, i hear the fan come on for maybe a second or two and then comes off.I've tried all the mentioned solutions - i removed the battery for a while and put it back in-i tried the four arrows-i tried started up with AC adapted but without battery - and still no fix. What i am worried about is the documents and files on the laptop. Are they recoverable? Please help me on this someone. Please. Thank You.

    Hi Chris,
    See if you can match the pattern of the 'blinks' to those shown on the table below - this may atleast give you a better idea of what the problem is.

  • Scroll/Num Lock and Caps Lock LED's blinking not starting

    Hi, I have a problem with my Pavillion dv4-1222nr. It was fine last night and this morning when I turned it on the Scroll/Num Lock and Caps Lock lights started blinking.  I turned it off and on several times and still a blank screen and blinking lights also the light that shows the hard drive is running is not on.  I can hear the fan from the processor and the dvdr engaging oh, that light is blinking too. I pulled out the battery to see if it would reset but it didn't work. Can anyone please help

    Hi, I have a HP Pavillon Dv4 1225 dx. Since a week when I turn it on I hear a noise that seems that it is going to start but it doesn´t. The scroll, num block and caps looks bottom are blinking all time and the screen remains as if it were off, even if I wait for an a half an hour. I tried changing the memories, connecting another monitor, checking the battery but it doesn´t work. I would be great if you could give me an advice about what can I do to solve the problem. Kind regards

  • MacBook Keyboard Caps Lock and Num Lock are working in reverse!!!

    Ok, this sounds very strange...my keyboard on my MacBook only works when both the num lock and caps lock keys are depressed (so the green lights are illuminated). if the num lock is off then the keyboard does not work. if num lock is on and caps lock is off then the keys only type in ALL CAPS. if both num lock and caps lock are on (green lights) then the keyboard behaves as it should--except it's supposed to be that the num lock and caps lock keys should be off! I've checked system prefs for keyboard and mouse and for universal access, i've reset to defaults, i've restarted the machine...NOTHING works!
    Has anyone ever seen this before? Any clue what to do?
    thanks
    Mark

    Do computers have child diseases? My computer's immune system now seems to have taken care of the caps lock/num lock problem. I haven't had any inverted startups in weeks now. Very strange!
    In my experience, the treatment is to ignore the fact caps lock/num lock is lit, and to restart the computer. If you need to log in to restart, do it as if startup was normal, since caps lock/num lock is not actually turned on.
    And hope for the natural healing.
    Does anyone have different experiences?

  • Updating caps lock and num lock status

    I need to keep track of the status of the caps lock and num lock keys in a status bar of my frame.
    I get the current status with a code like this
    Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    numLockState = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_NUM_LOCK);
    capsLockState = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK);
    fireChangeEvent();
    where fireChangeEvent() updates a label in the status bar. The code is invoked when any of the caps lock and num lock keys are pressed (while the window has the focus) and when the window is activated. This code works while the window has the focus (i.e. the status of the keys if correctly tracked). It does not work correctly when the window is activated.
    Specifically the following scenario fails:
    - The window has focus and the state of the keys if correctly reported by the code above (say caps lock up, num lock
    up);
    - The window loses focus, i.e., another (non java) window gains the focus;
    - The user presses any of the two keys (say the caps lock key);
    - The window regains focus.
    When the latter event happens the code above is invoked (as a consequence of the window being activated) but it continues to report the status of the keys at the time the focus was lost by the window (caps lock up, num lock up).
    It seems that the toolkit does not automatically updates its internal status if a key is pressed when the java window does not have the focus. If I press the caps lock key (so that it returns to the up state) after the window has regained focus the status is updated and the new state is correctly reported. I need to manually realign the status by pressing the keys to have them correctly reported by the toolkit.
    Some ideas on how to have correct key status even after the window looses the focus?
    Thanks.

    the only is though it is not sensing the keyStrokes but if window looses focus because of another window gains focus it changes the values when it get focus next by ne means.
    Provide a short executable code might be the problem lies there.

  • Satellite C55-A and Ubuntu - Caps Lock and Num Lock key leds always off

    I don't find any Linux driver in Toshiba support web site.How I solve this problem?

    Hi. Are you sure this is a Linux-issue? Please try this: reboot the unit and press F12 several times when the Toshiba logo is shown. When the boot menu is shown try Caps and Num lock again.
    Same issue or not?
