AUTO-LOCK

How do I change the locking options on my blackberry torch - it is autoset to 5 mins and there is a little lock next to it so I can't change it - and of course the phone locks after 5 minutes even if I am actively using an application at the time.. Whether I am sending a text, browsing the internet, watching a video, using the GPS function... When this happens I have to type my password to unlcok the screen and often have to reopen the app I was using again (but not always). HELP please!  I'd like to resolve this asap as I am driving somewhere next week and was hoping to use my phone as sat nav - but this will be hopeless if the screen locks me out after 5 mins as even if the the app doesn't shut down, I wont be able to check screen to make sure I understand the instructions, and chances are it will shut the app down as well!

  • IPhone 3G after iOS 4 does not wakes after Lock or auto lock.

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 3G (not S), I upgraded it to iOS 4.0 on Tuesday June 22.
    it took around 2-3 hours for the whole process, but it all workd out fine.
    Now I have two issues, one major one minor.
    Major issue:
    Every time I lock my phone, by using the (sleep/wake button), or if the phone gets auto locked, and if I leave it for a minute or so. I cannot wake it up by pressing the Home menu button (the round button in front). The only way to bring it back to life is to hard boot the phone by pressing the sleep/wake button and the Home menu button together for 10 second. This boots the os back to life, takes around 1-2 minutes. While the phone is inactive, if I make a call to it, on the calling side I hear the ring tone, but the phone lies dead like a stone. So no incomingcalls or SMS, while the phone is in this state, and the caller thinks I am not picking it up.
    So far I am avoiding problems by not locking the phone at all, but that is eating up my battery.
    Minor problem: as many have mentioned earlier also, it has gone too slow. And a substantially short battery life, accompanied by unusual heating.
    Tried restoring the phone using iTunes 9.2, I am hitting 1602 error there, so tried restoring in the "Recovery mode", it worked fine, but the problems persists.
    Another thing I noticed was that I can never switch off the phone too.
    Every time I press and hold the sleep/wake button and initiate the Power off mode, either of the two things happen.
    1) The circular star loading animation starts, gets stuck a some point, and suddenly the phone boots back to life after some time.
    2) The circular star animation continues, for hours, untill the phone runs out of battery and dies out itself.
    So far I have'nt seen a clean shut down after the upgrade.
    what to do....

  • JQuery animate not working in Safari after auto lock on IOS 8.2

    Hi Guys,
    We are developing a browser-based video platform which makes use of jQuery's .animate function and am encountering some problems. The animate function is used to simulate inertia when dragging buttons around. This all works perfectly, until the iPad auto-locks after 2 minutes. Once the iPad is unlocked, all inertia is gone. there's no error that I can see, the animate just doesn't work. Refreshing the page doesn't restore functionality, neither does re-entering the address manually into the address bar or navigating to the apps page and back. The only way to restore functionality is to double-tap the iPad's Home button to bring up the apps menu and swipe Safari up to close it.
    'It's the code' I hear you cry. Well, I have 2 iPads for testing. One is an iPad 3, the other is a brand new iPad air. Both are on IOS 8.2. The old iPad works perfectly all the time in the exact same condition when the iPad air fails. I've also tried factory resetting the iPad air to try to resolve this but without success.
    I've also done a lot of research into this and have seen the posts on stackoverflow saying a few people have resolved the issue with the upgrade from 8.1 -> 8.11 (I also had this issue on 8.1, the version that came with the iPad). Alas I still have it on 8.2.
    Also, before anyone tells me to use CSS3 transitions, I use this on other platforms which work perfectly and do not support CSS3.
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
    Problem iPad:
    Version: 8.2 (12D508)
    Model: MD785B/B
    Working iPad:
    Version: 8.2 (12D508)
    Model: MC705B/A

    Mmmmm... this humble pie is delish.
    Ok, so after managing to reproduce this error on my old iPad I think I have it sussed. It's not the iPad's fault entirely. It seems that when you lock the iPad is can mess with the timestamps on events. Even after the app is reopened the timestamp seems to think that its back when it was locked. I've worked around this and used getTimestamp. Seems a few other people have seen this as well.
    Hopefully anyone in the same boat will see this. Thanks to anyone who read it.

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 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...

  • I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

    I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, change language setting. Now what???

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

    I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting).  My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't.  I am super frustrated at this point.  So any suggestions would be great.  Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

  • I am using iPhone 5s 32gb . Since yesterday  auto lock feature is not working ( I have set it to 1 minute ) and occasionally a blue band has startedappearing horizontally on the screen and moves across the screen

    Someone please tell the solution .
    Is it a hardware issue or os

    I have the same problem, only my lines are red. I just bought a 52 16GB to replace my iPhone 4. The old phone started having the red lines moving back and forth, and I looked on some of the forums, and was led to believe that it meant the phone was dying. Since I've had it for a long time, and it was real slow, I thought getting a new phone would be the solution. But wouldn't you know it, after a week or so, the red lines started showing up on the 5s. And now the auto-lock doesn't, and I keep running the battery down because I forget to manually lock it. The red lines make me think there's a virus, since it migrated to the new phone. As to the auto-lock, I have no idea.
    Any help would be really appreciated. I had to select a reply option, so I replied to the original post, but I'm hoping someone out there has a solution.
    Thanks!

    is anyone has fix for this issue?

  • 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/Unlock is not working when the iPad cover is closed or opened for iPad 4 with retina display after upgrading to ios7.

    As the title above, is there any solutions for that? I tried restarting my Ipad and i've double checked the auto lock/unlock button is on.

    I have the same problem also.  Restarting isn't helping and the auto lock/unlock button is on.  Plus a couple of time when I turn it on it is asking if I want to power off.  That is when I push the button on the front to wake it up.  Not the power button on top.  I have an IPAd 2. Worked fine before the update.

  • How to Turn Off Screen, but NOT Auto-Lock phone?

    I have an iPhone 5S.  I have auto-lock set to 5 minutes.  I often want to shut the screen for a short period (less than 5 minutes) to conserve the battery and to put it in my pocket while making sure I don't do something on the phone.  As such, I press the sleep button at the top.  No matter how quickly I turn the phone back on (by pressing the sleep button again) it is now locked.  I find this *very* annoying.  Obviously, the "Sleep button" doesn't just put the phone to sleep, but locks it too *despite* the auto-lock setting.  Is there any way to really just "sleep" the phone withOUT turning on the lock?
    Thank you,
    Stuart

    "Sleep" and "lock" are the same thing where an iPhone is concerned. The only other option is passcode lock.
    Best of luck.

  • Battery drain problem - question if auto lock is problem

    Just upgraded from iPad2 to Retina iPad. Went smoothly with cloud backup and download but experiencing sever battery drain. Went to use it 2 days ago after limited use prior evening (taking minutes in Evernote for 2 hr meeting) and had shut off. Restarted and had 2% battery and totally useless. Recharged overnight to 100% but had no demands yesterday. That evening opened up and found I had 21% remaining.
    Did battery problem search at this site, made some adjustments, and recharged to 100% for this AM. Two primary adjustments were stopping Bluetooth and Autolock changed from never (iPad2 setting) to 10 minutes and wondering if the autolock feature is the problem as discussed in the next paragraph. Others I didn't change, gmail set to fetch/manual and Cloud is push. WiFi on and disabling like suggested in some threads would be a royal PITA having to turn it back on every time and counter to the Apple vision of useability. App Store is set to advise of updates. Each of those were like on the iPad2 where had no battery problem, except I didn't activate cloud until just prior to the upgrade. IOS on both machines fully upgraded to IOS 6.01.
    Interesting discovery this AM. While I set the Auto-Lock to 10 minutes last evening, the the iPad Cover lock/unlock is set "ON". It appears that the 10 minute Auto Lock is working, however, the automatic lock/unlock is not which would explain the battery drain when set autolock was set to never. This AM as I opened it, had to manually unlock it as opposed to having the cover unlock it for me. As I close the cover and peek under the edge can still see the iPad  illuminated until the 10 minutes kicks in...then manually unlock it again. The cover I am using is the heavy duty RooCase with magnetic clip and had no problem when using it with the iPad2. (Great case by the way!) Any suggestions? Thanks.
