Disable auto lock

I have an iPad Air (1st Gen).
Running iOS 8.1.2
Using a passlock code (no Touch ID on these models).
When I try to disable the auto-lock feature, it only gives me options ranging from 1min to 15mins. The "Never" option isn't there.
How can I set it so that the screen does not auto-lock?
The reason I need it is because I have a video streaming app but unfortunately the app has a bug whereby when streaming a video the screen times out.

If you aren't getting the Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never option then do you have an Exchange email account (e.g. a work email account) set up in the Mail app ? If you do then it's possible that the account administrator is preventing the 'never' option for security reasons (to stop work emails being read) - if you remove the email account you should get the 'never' option.

Automatically disable auto lock when connected to charging device?

Hello,
I am aware that you can disable auto-lock in the settings by selecting 'never.'
Is there a way the auto-lock feature can be disabled automatically when the iPod Touch is connected to a power source like a dock, car charger, etc?
It's a pain to have to change this setting each time I get into the car, and when I forget, it has the potential to become a safety issue. (Of course, I would never mess with my iPod settings while driving...)
Perhaps a 3rd party app that does this??
I've seen this question posted on various forums, but have never seen a good answer...

Hello Ats65,
Make the pairing again and make the device update with system update
Also check another Bluetooth keyboard if available.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

How to disable auto-lock

I've got a 32Gig iTouch, I like it a lot except for one feature. When my iTouch is connected to a power source, say my Bose SoundDock, I'd like to have the brightness level to stay on indefinately. The iTouch is receiving power throughout the connection period. I've turned-off the auto brightness feature in the Settings Menu, yet after about 30 seconds, the brightness dims?? Does it dim no matter if the auto-brightness is off or on -- makes no difference, or do I need to adjust another setting to get the desired result, to have it bright for as long as I like?

Settings / General / Autolock - set to never.
Is that what you want?
Also, I have a number of clock applications for the Touch/iPhone that will turn off the auto-off feature when in use.
I use those when in the SoundDock, and they stay on as well.

How do I disable auto-lock?

There is no option to turn this off, only 1-5 minutes for it to kick in. This feature was set by someone else, but now I have a separate phone for work purposes and need to turn this off.

If you have an Exchange account on your device, the administrators my have blocked that option. If you are no longer using the device for work, try removing your work email account.

You can test if you're on a mobile device, and set up listeners for when the app is activated:
if (Capabilities.cpuArchitecture == "ARM") {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, handleActivate, false, 0, true);
Then on the activate one you could make the system stay awake:
private function handleActivate(event:Event):void {
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;

How can I disable the lock code on my N8

Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?

Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

Automatically overide Auto-lock function when on exterlal power

Is there way to automatically disable auto lock on a 3GS when hooked up to external power?

That would mean if anybody finds your phone all they have to do is connect it to external power and then.......
Not necessarily. It doesn't have to unlock, just stop it from locking. Oh well... I was hoping there was an ap somewhere.

Bluetooth triggers auto-lock?

On my iPhone5, when I place a call using my bluetooth headset, auto-lock activates during the call. If I want to hang up or use the phone while talking, I have to press the home key and swipe to open. When I make a call using the speakerphone, auto-lock does not activate, the screen just dims.
Is there a way to fix this, without disabling auto-lock entirely?
Thanks!

Check this link, and it still hasn't been solved with the new IOS 6.0.1:

How do I disable Windows 8.1 Auto-lock

New Computer, Windows 8.1, 64-bit. How do I disable the Windows 8.1 Auto-Lock? I searched Forums, and the most popular answer was to go to User Accounts and Reset Security Policies. I went to Control Panel/User Accounts and there is NO
option to 'Reset Security Policies'. Now what? :(

Hi,
Did you have any custom GPOs for specific users/groups?
If you didn't modify your GPO,you cannot see this option(Reset Security Policies).
For this issue,I suggest you check your power plans setting first.
Also,please check Screen Saver's time and the following setting.

Disabling Passcode Auto-Lock

I have a new iPod Touch and ever since I enabled it to get my e-mail and calendar information from Outlook it requires me to use a Passcode and to set an auto lock time. This is frustrating but especially so when I am in the car listening to music and I want to skip a song. I have to type in my passcode and before I can skip the song. This is a dangerous operation if one is driving. Is there a way to disable the auto lock or make it only apply to the e-mail app? Is Apple planning to improve this in future uprgrades to the software? If not I will not be using the Touch as my MP3 player and only as a PDA. An Mp3 player that auto locks after a few minutes is not much good.

Apple's workaround for this is to tap the Home button twice. Then you get the basic player controls even though the unit is locked.
I hate the Touch for car use. I am forced to stare at it to change anything and find it dangerous. I keep a 5G iPod video in a case for extended car use, and I can feel around the scroll wheel that way.

How set auto lock to disable when on handsfree

hi
I have a 3g and just got a new MKi9200 parrot hansfree thing which is oretty cool. as I am using NDrive sat nav ( also v cool for 9.99) is there a way to set auto lock so screen stays on when on handsfree or do I have to change it in settings each time?
cheers
tommy b.

There is no real way to stop it yourself if you are just sitting at the home screen or in some app that doesn't provide a setting to block auto lock unless you manually change it yourself when you want.
For me, I have a few apps that have a setting in them to block the autolock thus the developer was able to add that ability into their app.
If you are saying you have up the NDrive Sat Nav app and wish it didn't auto lock on you, then it is on that developer to provide that functionality into their app.

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.
