Auto-Lock "Never" not available

I added an Exchange mail account and I found that the "Never" option is no longer available in *Settings > General > Auto-Lock*. This is a well-documented issue as in this article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/152642/2010/07/noneverautolock.html
I emailed my IT, but they are slow to respond to this kind of non-critical issues. But, the inability to choose "Never" under Auto-Lock is truly annoying in certain situations.
Is there anything I can do on my iPhone to bring back the "Never" option?

If I were to change the Exchange account to a regular account and let iPhone "Fetch" email, then the Never option returns as expected.
I contacted the IT Department at my school again. This time, they don't even reply.

  • 'Never' auto lock setting not available.

    My iPhone 3G doesn't have 'Never' listed as an option under the Autolock settings. It has 1,2,3,4, and 5 minutes listed, but Never is not there. I'm on software 3.0.1 and hardware model MB702LL. Could there be a setting in another menu that is disabling that option? I'd appreciate any ideas on how to fix this, thanks.

    I just added an email account to my iphone through Microsoft Exchange. I couldn't figure out why on my auto lock I didn't have the "never" setting any longer. Only 1 thru 5 minutes. I searched on here and find out through your posts that it has something to do with the Exchange. I disabled it and sure enough the "never" setting came back. My question is this, Is there a way to have the email account through Microsoft Exchange on and keep the "never" setting in auto lock? Can I override it somehow so to speak? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    After acceessing home screen with assistive touch auto lock is not working in my iphone 4S after upgrading to ios6

    Additional testing i perform to make wifi work but nothing works out:
    i did re-installing the software using iTunes, reset the network settings restarting the phone. Nothing solves my problem.
    wifi was working with older software versions. i think there should be a problem with 8.1.1.
    is anyone has fix for this issue?

  • Livecache lock handler not available in APO

    Hello Experts,
    We are getting the error "Livecache lock handler not available" error when we are running planning jobs in SAP APO.
    We are using parallel processing profiles for DP background processing jobs (Macro calculations) and I am getting this error only when a job is run with PP profile.
    Below are the parameters of the parallel processing profiles:
    Application: DP background processing
    No of parallel processes: 2
    Block Size: 500
    The error message is written in the spool generated for the background job and the job fails. Eventually the process chain fails in which the job is included.
    Please provide some pointers if anyone has come across the same error.
    Regards,
    Raghu

    Hi JB,
    Thanks for the note, Basis check the solution in the note and system seems to have met the requirements.
    But one thing is likely to increase the MaxSQLLocks in the system as the demand of the locks is more than the availability. So basis is looking at this dimension to increase the number of locks in the system.
    Will update soon in case of any conclusion.
    Regards,

  • Live cache lock handler not available

    Hi we are frequently getting this error Live cache lock handler not available and this causes our process chains to fail.
    Can anyone please explain in details what this error refers to and direct to any good links for error resolution.

    Hello,
    1. As SAP customer, you could create the SAP message to the component BC-DB-LCA and get SAP support.
    2. If you set the flag 'activate livecache lock' in tcode /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN for your planning area on SCM system, please run the connection test for the LEA connection in /ndb59 to check the LEA connection settings.
       The liveCache installation guide has additional information about LEA connection.

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • Hello trying to get help with the option on auto lock (never is not on option on 4s or new I pad 2? Both are up to date with the latest 6.1.2

    Just trying to get help in auto lock it is not an options for (never) on 4s or new i pad 2 both are a mirror of each other it seems I have had problems with this phone from day 1 all up dates have been installed. Calling the support line is good if you get someone that is advance and that is not worried about there call time which I may have to do however I do know that this site is great help any help will be appreciated. This is my husband phone and I pad  we purchased both phones @ the same time I have his older I pad he was given a new one for work which is the latest HELP please thanks. No problems with my phone or pad.

    I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
    Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience.  That's more a
    matter of your display driver not really doing its job.  What video card do you have?
    FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
    From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7.  That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment.  It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
    trying to make improvements.
    If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop.  I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running.  I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
    and it just kept working fine...

  • Auto lock does not work reliably

    since updating to ios 6, auto lock function does not always work. never had this problem with the previous ios. what can i do about it?

    Have you checked what the timing is for auto locking on your phone?
    Before I upgraded to iOS6 it was set to 1 minute so it felt like it locked instantly.  After upgrading, iOS 6 moved my lock time to 5 minutes.  I had to change the autolock time back to 1 minute.

  • Auto-lock is not working after last update

    After installing the newest IOS update the auto-lock features quit working. It was set to auto-lock after 5 minuets of inactivity, I have reset that to 2 minuets and it still does not auto-lock. If I forget to manually lock it after using it my battery runs down.
    About the same time that I did the IOS update I installed the Printer Pro app from the App Store. I have deleted this app from my IPAD but auto-lock still does not work.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Auto lock is not working

    Auto lock function is not working on my mobile. sometimes it works.
