Disabling Screen Lock..

It appears that when I put my phone to sleep by pressing the sleep/wake button, it will lock the phone regardless of my auto-lock setting. It requires me to slice the lock to unlock the screen. Why can't I simply go back to home screen or last application screen by pressing the wake or home button? With 3.0, app can continue to run while in sleep mode so user ought to be able to easily view the last app screen without having to unlock the screen. Is there anyway to disable the lock screen? Auto-Lock setting has no effect apparently.

The slide to unlock is required after the iPhone's screen is set to sleep regardless if you have the Passcode lock feature enabled or auto-lock. This is to prevent an app on the home screen from being pressed or a selection for an app that was selected when putting the screen to sleep if the screen is turned on while in your pocket for example.
3rd party apps cannot run in the background, but included apps can such as the Mail client if automatically check for new mail is selected, with the SMS app for receiving text, etc.
There is not a way to disable the slide to unlock when waking the iPhone or the iPhone's screen from sleep.

How can I disable screen lock?

You've lost me. What screen are you in? There is no choice to change the password in security settings unless you're messing about with the Master password option. You just need to click the padlock in the red circle and enter a valid Admin user password:

Cannot disable screen lock on my galaxy 4

When my Galaxy 4 was purchased I could disable the screen lock feature by selecting "None" from the various screen lock choices. Now, the "None" choice is not shown. Is there another way to disable screen lock?

THat is rather strange the option for none is no longer in there. Have you recently downloaded any new software or applications? In case you need it, here are the instructions for disabling the lock screen http://spr.ly/6-17NzGL Lets restart your phone and give this a try. Let me know what happens.

App rejected for disabling screen lock (idle timer) in iOS8

I just had an app rejected because I have a user changeable setting which allows the user to disable screen lock via
[UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES;
Apple says I used an undocumented API but it IS indeed documented here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIApplicat ion_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIApplication/idleTimerDisabled
My app graphs the barometric pressure and if you want the graph to run longer than a minute or two, it is important to disable screen lock. The default behavior is screen locking as usual, but there's an option in the settings to disable screen lock and this seems to be what Apple took issue with. I've had academic users request this feature, and I have used it in other apps successfully, however this time Apple rejected my app for using it. Is this normal? Is disabling screen lock via UIApplication really now allowed?

Just saw this in the doc:
However, apps that don't have user input except for the accelerometer—games, for instance—can, by setting this property to YES, disable the “idle timer” to avert system sleep.
(emphasis added)
So does your app use the accelerometer? Seems weird that that would be the only case where an app could disable the idle timer but they did specifically mention it in the doc, so…
As a paid developer you can and should take this to the IOS dev site. You might can a more definitive answer.
good luck
regards
<edit>
Looking at your last post I don;t think the problem is using an undocumented API, it is in not using it in the prescribed manner. At least that is how I read it.

How can I disable screen lock without entering a passcode?

Disable screen lock (SRSS 4.2)

Hi,
I want to provide some users to disable the screen lock function so that they don´t need to enter there password if they unplug there smart card and plug it into another DTU.
I tried to modify the environment variable "SUN_SUNRAY_UTXLOCK_PREF" as it is described in the utxlock manpage but it doesn't work.
Thanks a lot for your ideas
Axel Ziller

By default SRSS 4.2 does not use the normal X screen lock to reauthenticate after a hotdesk event. Instead it does what's called "Remote Hotdesk Authentication", which means that it performs the reauthentication in a new, completely separate session. This is because there are situations in which the X screen lock can fail to obtain its lock, leaving the session unprotected.
If you don't care about that then you can turn off the default RHA separate lock mechanism by adding the -D option to whatever arguments you're currently giving to the utpolicy command. After you've done that, and executed a cold restart of SRSS, the old screen lock behaviour should apply and the UTXLOCK_PREF setting should be honoured.

DX650 - Disable Screen Lock

How can I disable the screen lock on the DX650 phone (CUCM 10.5)?
Users don't want to have to enter a PIN number to access the phone.
I have tried different settings of "Require Screen Lock" on the Device page, but no luck.
Thanks, Randy

On the device settings do the following changes:
Display On Time: Change it to your office starting time or a bit earlier
Display On Duration: Change it to the end time of your office or a bit extra
Require Screen Lock : Change it to User Controlled>Check the Override Common Settings
Uncheck the setting: Enforce Screen Lock During Display-On TIme >Check the Override Common Settings
Restart the phone.
Now in the setting of the Android OS you will get an option to make it None. Also you can set a pin and then do a manual lock as required by pressing the lock button on the phone,

Plasma 5 screen lock

There seems to be no way to disable screen locking in the new Plasma 5 interface. The System Settings section for screen locking only allows a max value of 99 min and there is no section for disabling screen locking altogether.
Does anyone know of a method to completely disable screen locking?

It's not possible to enter "Never" there, it's a counter field. I wonder what KDE devs were thinking when they introduced screen locking that it's not possible to disable.
It changes to 0 automatically when you input 0, so that should solve this.

Disable Home Screen Lock

How do I Disable the home screen lock on my Touch 9800? In the Security settings > Password the lock icon is Enabled and can not be disabled! The only options are lock after 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes. Is there a way to disable the lock feature?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you are on BES, it may be forced by your BES Admins...you'd need to talk to them to see about changing it.
If you have activated Encryption/Content Protection, then the password is required to support that. You'd have to disable that in order to be allowed to also disable the password.
Good luck and let us know!

Screen lock options disabled except for pin and password - Bionic)

Before upgrading, I was using the pattern-lock as my screen lock option. After the ICS upgrade was complete, the pattern lock option was still active and working as I would expect. But when I went into the Lock options tab, the other options were disabled and greyed out, except for pin and password options. I selected pin just to see what would happen, and when I went back pattern lock was now greyed out. My only two enabled options right now are pin and password. How do you fix this??

Hello harls!
This is very peculiar! Let's figure it out. I want you to be able to access your phone as easily as possible.
What Ann154 suggested is very possible. You may have something blocking you from using any other type of screen unlock option.
Other than that, I might recommend closing out all applications and restarting the phone. Then please set your setting for the lock screen to none and try and switch back. Also, you don't have any type of third party user interface installed or recently installed any applications, correct? If so, I might recommend uninstalling them.
Thanks and keep us posted!

HT5934 How can I disable the lock screen option. I do not want to punch in a multi-digit security code every time I need to use the phone

I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

I know I shall regret asking, but why does keeping the iPhone out of reach of your toddler imply it must also be out of reach of yourself?
I suppose not comepletely out of reach for me, but not out in the open. I would have to put my phone either on top of a high shelf, which I would need to get on a stoll myself to get to, or in a closet or inside a cabinet. The truth is that I spend most of my time at home in the same room as my daughter, which is the layroom, and there aren't really any places there to put my phone out of reach. Putting it our of reach for her would mean missing phonecalls myself.
This is beyond this topic of discussion, really and I'm sorry. My daughter had gotten used to the fact that if she did get a hold of my phone she couldn't do anythig with it. Now she's learned that she can take pictures if she gets a hold of the phone and it's a fight every time she "finds" my phone, because now she wants to be able to take pictures and it's tiring having to take it away from her, deal with the crying and screaming and also have to punish her for the offense. Again, this is getting way off topic.
My opinion on the actual topic of this discussion is that this "feature" shouldn't have been imposed on me, I should've been given a way to disable this feature. It was, in my opinion, not well thought out by apple and I really think we should get a new update that allows us to disable it. (already told apple what I thought, thank you).
