E7 Screen/Timeout lock exceptions

I have a Nokia E7 (I love it)  one thing I have noticed is that when I am playing games that use accelerometer controls (and hence no touching the screen) The Display/Screen/keylock is actived.  Is there a way to create an exceptions list in the settings so that when certain programs are running (games and maps) then the screen time outs do not apply?
I use to use a program called Mr Lock for my E71 which did this,  but I was hoping that it would be built into S^3 by default.  If not then I guess the answer to my own question is set the screen/lock time out to 30 minutes and then let Mr lock do the rest.

Thanks, but i guess I need to clarify... The instructions above sets the timeout and automatically locks the phone once that time is reached. Other phones differentiate between the 2. I'm guessing there is no way to have this phone timeout without locking altogether. With my previous phone I could have the screen timeout at 15 seconds and lock at 2 minutes. So at anytime < 2 minutes but > 15 seconds, I could touch my phone to turn the screen on  to use  without having to enter a password. Anytime after 2 mins the phone would be completely locked. It may seem a like a small difference but this was a very useful configuration. Let me know if I can replicate this activity or if there is a setting I've over-looked with the Droid Charge.
Thanks,

  • Screen Timeout vs Screen Lock

    It would be nice to be able to have separate settings for the screen timeout vs when the screen locks.  Currently, when the screen turns off it is automatically locked.
    Are there any plans to separate these 2 functions?  
    For example, I would like to be able to have the screen go off after 30 or 60 seconds and be able to bring it back just by touching it but have the screen lock after a few minutes of inactivity.  I believe this was the case on previous phones.
    Thanks,
    Rob.

    Rib, just touch the top edge power key to being the device out of sleep state in one touch. Without having to enter the security password.

  • Lock Screen Timeout not working since upgrade to 10.2?

    I have always had by Lock Screen Timeout set to 3 mins but since 10.2 upgrade it now appears to be hardcoded to what seems to be about 15 to 30 minutes. Anyone else having this problem?
    This is a bit of security problem if you rely upon screen lock to secure your personal data from unauthorised access. If I put the phone down I want to be assured that it will lock out quite quickly.
    I suspect that the problem is caused by Lock Screen Notifications so I have switched that off for now to see if it helps. I allow Gestures when locked to unlock the screen. Tend to use the power button to lock. Use gesture to unlock.

     Try a reset: when powered on hold down the power button for 10 seconds.
    You can restore your phone to factory settings if you wish to see if it corrects your issue. Resetting to factory settings will wipe out all your data so you should save it first. To save all your stuff download and install BlackBerry Link on your computer from the link below. Resetting will not back-up the OS on your phone. Once you have downloaded and installed BlackBerry Link connect your phone to your computer and save your stuff. Once saved disconnect your phone from the computer.
    To reset your phone: tap the Settings App, scroll down and tap Security and Privacy, tap Security Wipe, tap the blank box and enter blackberry.
    Once Wiped reconnect your phone to your computer and install your stuff.

  • Lock screen timeout issue after Lollipop upgrade - Galaxy S5

    I have the S5, and a couple days before installing the Lollipop update I changed my screen timeout to 30 mins because I didn't want my screen to turn off while looking at pictures for long periods of time. I didn't end up changing the timeout back before the update, so after installing Lollipop, it applied the 30 min timeout to my lock screen and I am unable to change it to a lower setting. I've tried changing the timeout settings under display and all sorts of variations of settings in the phone, and it works when I am actually past the lock screen, but lock screen still doesn't turn off until 30 mins passes.
    The main problem with this is when my phone gets notifications in the middle of the night, the phone stays on for the full 30 mins and drains my battery if it isn't plugged in. Is anyone else having this issue? I haven't tried reverting back to Kit Kat to see if I can fix the issue, but I was just curious if there was another way to get around it before going through all of that. It would be really helpful if they would just add a timeout feature specifically for the lock screen so that I could adjust it there...

    This has been reported on some other blog sites I recall seeing and the quick fix was to disable your lock screen.

  • TS3406 Twice call from same number if not done anything, the screen is locked

Now no way to access the home screen or something else on the screen by any touch (Back seen on the screen also does not get touched) except force power off and on. Please find the solution for me. 
    and shot) m same number if not done anything, the screen is locked.

    Ok, well I had the network support guy down, when I mentioned an "OD Server" he went into Directory Access and put some details in that seem to have fixed the problem! So thanks for that...
    Unfortunately, it looks like some of the other machines in the room might need binding, but at least the network team is aware of it.
    Whereabouts would I look for ARD crash logs on the affected iMac? I tried locking/unlocking the screen again after the other issue was fixed and had the same problem. Its almost instant - as soon as you hit "lock" the status immediately switches to "ARD Not Active".

  • K1 screen rotation lock problem

    To all the experts on the board,
    I bought a K1 tablet and played with it for a week. After the system updates, everything works reasonably well except the screen rotation lock. I push the screen lock button down as instructed, but the screen still rotates. Any idea how to fix the problem? Many thanks in advance!

    I've had the K1 for over a year now and I have noticed some trends with the rotation lock slider not working correctly.
    First off, I want to make clear that when I say the slider isn't working correctly, I mean that even with the Rotation Lock OFF, the screen stays in whatever position it was last in, whether it's portrait or landscape, no matter how much I move or reorient the tablet. The notification for the slider pops up on the screen as if it were working normally switching between locked and unlocked, so it doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
    When the rotation lock does stop functioning, a system reset serves to fix the issue for a while. After a few days on standby or with intermittent use, the rotation lock stops working again.
    As a side note, applications that are landscape only can force the tablet out of portrait and applications that are portrait only can force the tablet out of landscape, however when the applications close, it's hit or miss if the tablet stays in the new orientation or jumps back to the old one.
    Also, I have noticed that the rotation lock never started acting up until after I inserted a microSD card. Can anyone else verify that this trend happened for them as well? What's even stranger is the fact that at first the card wouldn't even mount, but as soon as it was inside the tablet, that's when I noticed the rotation lock wasn't responding. It was a 32GB microSD high capacity, so I chocked it up to the firmware of the tablet not being compatible with such a large sized microSD card. I tried a smaller microSD card andeverything seemed to work fine. The only reason why I went back to the 32GB card is that I happened to try it some time later and the system was able to read it.
    I really like the tablet and it's kind of frustrating that there's still not really a good solution to this. Any feedback or help would be appreciated.
    Thank you kindly,
    MW

  • Screen Timeout - Advanced Calling Update

    My phone's screen timeout is not functioning since the Advanced Calling update.  The screen turns on randomly and will not timeout automatically.  This has only been present since the update and has been an issue at nights, with the screen automatically turning on and failing to turn off, draining battery percentage.  Has anyone else experienced this?

    No issues here.  My G3 has been no different since the update except the quality of calls is through the roof.  A call has never sounded better.  I sound like I'm on a landline.  I'm actually considering dropping my home phone now.

  • Screen problems - black screen and lock-up (plus HDMI issues)

    Hi, I'm not sure if these are related to the same fundamental issue, but they are both serious problems that need resolution.
    I have a new mid-2012 MBPretina.  I am on all the latest updates (10.8.2).
    The first problem is the most recent, and the most serious problem.  Since I updated the Java a couple of days ago I've been experiencing random black screens and lock-ups.  Essentially, what happens is that sometimes when I perform an action (opening an app, clicking a link on a webpage, performing other kinds of in-app actions, etc.) the computer screen will go black.  About half the time I can, through my own memory, try keyboard combinations to quit or force quit the most recently used app (the one where the action was just performed), and I will get some glimpse of the underlying apps, while the menubar and other areas will remain black until I move a window on top of the black space.  Sometimes no key combinations work and I am forced to perform a hard restart with the power button.  This is a serious issue, obviously, since I will lose current work/progress in my apps.  I'm not sure if this is because of the new Java update, or has to do with something else, but it started happening shortly thereafter, over the last 2 days.  I work most of my waking day on my laptop, and this "black screen of death" has happened about 5 or 6 times a day.
    The second problem I have been experiencing since I starting using my MBPr with external HDMI displays in August/September.  The problem is that I will plug the MBPr into an HDMI display, the screen will temporaliy go black, and then bring me to the login screen (as if it's crashing, albeit softly).  This happens about 1 out of 4 times nowadays.
    How can I fix these problems, especially the first?

    UPDATE:
    Clearly there's a problem because a third of the way through a clean reinstallation from scratch it black screened again. Hmmmm.
    Now this is not good. Problem is I can't rule out potential updates from Apple that might have caused this either.
    The search for solutions continues.

  • I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked

    Hello,
    i have an iPhone 5.
    i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
    i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
    iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
    i Have tried:
    changing all all do not disturb settings.
    checked call forwarding etc.
    checked mute
    my silent button is not on.
    i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
    oout it in recovery mode.
    i Have no success with any.
    the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
    does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
    PLease, please, please

    I Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

  • Trying to upgrade OS on an original iPad.  Screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  Connected to iTunes and get an error 3014 message stating it cannot be restored and screen is locked in this mode.  How do I unlock?

    Trying to update OS on an original iPad.  Connected to iTunes -- screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons.  iTunes says must restore to default settings, but receive an error message 3014 that this cannot be done.  Cannot unlock screen to use nor can I update or restore, so iPad not usable at this point.  How can I unlock screen so I can use iPad, how do I fix this error?  Latest version of iTunes is downloaded and I've followed all the instructions in regard to Windows.  I'd at least like to unlock iPad so it can be used.  Thanks.

    bummer. *Note that if you are actually running iOS 5.1.1, that's it for the iPad 1st Gen.

  • How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 4.  When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to.  How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking?  It's driving me NUTS.

    The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

    when i am on my home screen or locked screen, my battery usage and service toolbar has disappeared. How can i get it back?

    Yeah there's no setting for that. So either you don't have an iPhone, or your iPhone is jail broken. If it's jail broken, just restore to factory and all will be fixed :)

    Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

  • ****PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE**** PLEASE - Re: ON SCREEN CAPS LOCK INDICATOR

    can someone please help me before i pull all of my hair out.
    i have windows vista - 64 bit - the HP IQ500 touchsmart with a wireless keyboard.
    in the systray the num caps and scroll lock appears as little blue boxes (when on).
    everynow and again they simply disapper.
    i researced how to activate them again but cant remember how to do it.
    there is a way without having to mess with the registry and without downloading any program
    i just cant remember how. i know wherever it is...you ultimately get 3 boxes that you can check in order to turn the options back on.
    i am not talking about toggling, or sound, or mscofig and then boot.
    does anyone know the steps to turn the caps scroll and num lock indicator in teh sys tray back on
    oh, and right clicking on the toolbar and going to the notificiation area is not what i am referring to either.
    I checked in the control panel programs and the hp on screen caps lock indicator etc program is there.
    I reinstalled it nonetheless and confirmed it is installed properly
    When I right click on the notification area I do to properties/notification area/customize
    There are two lists there
    1. Current Items and
    2. Past Items
    For some reason I see caps lock - scroll lock and num lock under the past items
    There you are also able to change the status of the items to either Hide wne active, hide or show
    All three (caps/num/scroll) are SHOW
    I click apply OK then apply
    I restart the computer and nothing. The on screen caps lock indicator is still not in the notification area/systray area
    I repeat teh steps to ensure that the three have the SHOW option chosen and they are.
    So....
    Program is installed
    Items are check for SHOW
    Restart was done
    Ohhh and also...I went to MSCONFIG and made sure that the HP Keyboard Program was selected/check mark as one of the start up programs.
    There in a run command to activiate the 3rd party program (hp onscreen indicator program)
    When you enter the run command that I cant remember...you then get this option where there are three check boxes...one next to num lock - one next to caps lock and one for scroll lock.
    Once you check/select the boxes/options you want...presto they appear in the sys tray/notification area.
    I just cant remember the run command it to save my life.
    Please....put my mind to ease...cause I am losing it!
    I just cant seem to "walk away"...must be my OCD :-(
    Thanks

    NO.
    We are all iPhone users just like you.
    Apple has no blacklist.
    You can contact your carrier and see if they offer such a service.
    You cannot block it at all.
    Sorry
