Auto-Lock screen dimming

When my iPhone recently updated, it apparently changed the Auto-Lock; there is now no way I can find to keep the phone on for more than 5 minutes unattended.
Is there no way any more to turn this feature off? Especially when it's at home in the charger, I prefer to be able to glance at mail, or a list of something on the notepad as reference, without having to constantly keep turning it back on.

Ok, thanks.
It would be nice to have different time-out options when connected or not connected, and depending on which feature you were using.
Maybe in some future upgrade.
Thanks,
doug

  • The auto lock screen function

    the auto lock screen fucntion sometimes works, sometimes doesnt work. I use Ip4s.
    Is this a problem of software?

    I just updated to iOS 8.1 and I am not seeing this problem.  I had not updated my iPad because I have been using it off and on for the past month, and decided to use it for a presentation I have tomorrow.  When I connected my iPad to my Mac to copy over the presentation, iTunes told me that 8.1 was available.  So I did the update, copied over the presentation to my iPad and started doing a run-thru with a few co-workers.  There were a few times where we debating on what changes to make to slides, which easily took over 2 minutes, and the iPad never went to sleep.  So maybe this has been fixed.  It would be great if someone else was willing to give it a try, just to make sure I am not missing something.

  • Lock Screen Dimming Wallpapers 5.0.2

    Hi!
    Since I downloaded 5.0.2, the photos I set as lock screen wallpapers become dim. Basically, my lock screen shows the time clearly, but the wallpaper is dark. Anyone knows how I can fix this? I tried boosting the brightness of the photo, but it looks bad...
    Thanks for your time!

    This user wants to use his own picture on the lock screen but w/o dimming it, if you check the clock it's bright and the background will be dark

  • Nokia 800 auto lock screen

    Is there any way to disable auto screenlock?
    It only has 4 time periods, 30s, 1m, 3m and 5m.
    Other Windows phones allows off, so it seems Nokia has done this by design.
    This is an extremly annoying feature if driving where I listen to music from the phone through the sterro, if I want to skip a song I have to unlock first which is distracting and dangerous instead of simply swiping.
    I can understand it can save battery but when it's plugged in this isn't an issue, plus I lock my phone when I put away anyway.
    This is a design feature which is forced on us instead of allowing us to choose for ourselves.
    Os there anyway this can be changed in a future update.
    As I said other windows phones like HTC HD7 never had this so its not the OS.
    It also does it while using maps with navigation, which is useless, it doesn't seem to do it with Nokia drive though.

    This seems to be an issue with Windows Phone. On my Nokia Lumia 800 I also don't have the 'never' option. However, my friend has the exact same phone and he DOES have that option. The only difference I can think of so far is that I use a password to unlock the screen and he doesn't. In that case it is kind of logical that the 'never' option is missing when you require a password to use the phone. However, even when I disable the password, the 'never' option does not return...
    For me it is an issue during my running work out with the Sports Tracker app. When running, I don't want to enter a password each time I need to check the status in the app. So before I start running, I disable the password and set the screen lock to it's max of  5 minutes but I still find it very annoying that I have to swipe away the screen lock before I can see my running stats.
    I search the internet high and low and find many posts in forums from people with the same issue, but no post at all that actually confirms this is a bug or 'expected' behavior.
    Also not encouraging, I also found this post that says this issue also exists in Windows Phone 8.
    During my search I also found the official Windows Phone Forum here.
    And you may want to give your vote to this idea about this the screen lock issue.

  • Notification center and auto-lock does not work. iPhone 5 iOS 7.

    Hey there!
    I have got an issue with my iphone 5 after installing iOS 7.
    AfterI switch on my phone everything works perfectly but after some time ( sometimes it is few hours, few minutes ) the following options stops working:
    1. Notification center -  I cannot slide it down, neither the one from the top or bottom. Nothing happens when I try to do that.
    2. Auto-lock screen stops working! It is eating my battery really badly.
    Everything comes back to normal after restart but then again... some things happen as I mentioned above. Please Apple fix this ASAP because it really is frustrating. Am I the only with who has this issue?
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.
    Kamil

    Same here. For me, all three happens. Notification Center stops working, control center stops working, and the auto lock stops working. What I noticed:
    1. When I hold the power and home button together to do a force restart, the time it takes for the above problem to occur is far less than if you do a normal power off and on....
    2. Im currently running iOS 7.0.4... And with every update, the time it takes for the problem to come up again is getting shorter. With iOS 7.0.0 it used to be like 3-4 days. 7.0.2 it came down to 24-36 hours... Now, with 7.0.4 it happens within a couple of hours.
    It really gets frustrating because even if you are in the lock screen, the display doesnt turn off unless you manually press the sleep button....
    The only things I haven't tried yet:
    - Reset all settings (Frustration after the iOS 7.0.4 update might force me to do this within the next week....)
    - Restore the phone (Mine's 64GB 4S... And I don't sync my phone quite often so this is quite a hectic process for me. I dont want to do this unless I really have to)

  • Cannot lock screen even with AssistiveTouch

    After restoring my iPhone 5s from backup
    1. Pressing power button to lock screen no longer works (nothing happens), but holding it down to Power Off still works.
    2. Tried enabling AssistiveTouch, but pressing Device->Lock Screen does nothing (all other AssistiveTouch functions fully work), which rules out hardware issue.
    3. Phone no longer auto-locks (screen will not turn off until battery dies).
    Currently the only solution I can think of is to Restore to factory defaults, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
    IOS 8.2

    Have you tried restarting your device? Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time until the Apple appears. Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays see if the issue is resolved.

  • IPhone 3GS Lock screen keeps appearing

    When I lock my screen, after about 10-15 seconds, the lock screen pops up (shows my lock screensaver/slide to unlcok and Time/Date) and then after 20-25 seconds it goes back to auto-lock (screen fades to black). This repeats over and over until the battery is drained (usually within a few hours). Tried to do a full restore and it did not solve the problem.

    If your 3GS is still under Warranty Coverage, Apple will fix this under warranty.
    You have an interesting story, because sometimes the digitizer responded? Maybe it was luck, and when you swiped finger to Unlock, you hit the few functioning places in the "slide to unlock" box. But the problems you are describing are digitizer problems. If you have found a way to "I reset the settings manually from the phone from a suggestion." to get it to work occasionally, then you may have a problem beyond just the digitizer.
    The first step would be Warranty Fix with Apple. If no longer Warranty Coverage, the next step in trouble-shooting would be to replace the Front Glass Screen because it normally has the digitizer built with it.

  • Z1 compact lock screen, heating and camera issue

    I have 3 issues with my sony xperia z1 compact D5503 , which are as below.
    1. I set my auto lock screen time to 5 minutes but don't know how it gets to default 15 seconds after some time. This happens many times in a day. Not sure if its issue with anriod. I have anroid kitkat 4.4 installed on phone.
    2. When my phone is charging, it heats up.
    3. some times the camera gets stuck or open very slow.
    Can anyone please help me on this?

    Download the latest android version 4.4.4 via pc companion. These issues are addressed into that. Also don't use your phone while charging. You isse that's why it heats up. Also normal temperature rise is ok anyway.

  • Lock Screen and Turn off Screen

    I really searched a lot of files, but I can't find about that....

    No, these API are not currently available. Here's the same topic:

  • Screen dimming vs. "lock"

    Is there any way to get the iPod Touch to automatically dim the screen after a short period of non-use without going into "locked mode"? I would like to have it conserve battery power by fully dimming the screen but not have to press the home key, slide my finger and then wait for it to reconnect to my network.

    i don't think that was the question
    that much was obvious from your response. i think it was however, and the 'helpful' star would suggest it was.

    Anna,
    Thanks for your help. I did not realize that the sleep/power button allows you to shut off the screen without shutting off the device. I still believe that we should be able to set it to automatically shut-off only the screen backlight and then resume when the screen is touched.
    you CAN set it to automatically shut off, (using the auto-lock under settings, general) but it will lock the screen as described. this makes sense to me, as it will lock and prevent you 'pressing buttons' accidentally, while it is in your pocket.
    but if you want, suggest it to apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

  • New iPad (3) dimming, not Auto-Lock

    Guys, having a problem with the new iPad (3) 
    I listen to pandora everynight.  ipad is charging and it normally auto locks and turns the screen off while pandora is in the background.
    Now, I notice, it dims the screen but does not auto lock ? Ive turned off the ipad, and also did a hard reset but same.
    I also turned on the ipad and left it in the main screen with all the apps to see what happens with pandora not active and the same, it goes dim but
    does not auto lock.
    any possible fix ??
    i just notice, if I unplug the ipad (3) the auto locks works after 2 mins but when charging the auto lock does not work and stays dim.

    Got this from Pandora...
    Hi Richard,
    Thanks for writing. When the iPad is plugged into it's power source, the Auto-lock is disabled. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
    I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajat S.

    ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.

  • When playing YouTube in background the phone stays on and does not auto lock and if it is auto locked and you receive a text it will stay on / lit even in the lock screen

Please fix thank you, loyal customers for 8 years and own almost every product you sell, thanks again

    Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
