How do I turn the touch screen off?

Is there a way to turn the touch screen off to avoid mistakenly calling someone when the phone is in a pocket or purse?
thx

You can put your iPhone into screen-lock mode (also called sleep mode). It is not off when in this mode: It can still receive calls and other data, but it will not respond to touches on the display, it will not display anything on the screen (except briefly when new data comes in, such as a phone call), and will use much less battery power.
You can place your iPhone into sleep mode by briefly pressing the power button on the top.
You can wake your iPhone from sleep mode by briefly pressing either the power button on the top of the home button just below the screen.
You can set your iPhone to automatically enter sleep mode after a short period of time within the Settings app.

  • Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

    Dear All,
    I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
    I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
    when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
    Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
    how to do this on both operating systems?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Boudy,

    The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

    How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

    Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None.  You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct?  The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

  • How do you turn the Palm Centro OFF?

    Ok, the manual states how to turn off the PHONE, but not the entire DEVICE.
    Does anyone know how to completely turn the unit OFF?
    Thanks

    This is somewhat related to the turning off question.  (Thanks for the answer to that one, by the way. ) 
    For some reason, the screen on my Centro won't stay off.  I'll hit the power button, and the screen will go blank, but I'll look at the phone a few minutes later, and the screen will turn on again.  I'd like to keep the screen and touchscreen off until I need it to save the battery.
    I'm using PowerMan to conserve power, if that has any bearing on this.  Thanks!

  • My touch screen barely works and nothing has happened to it. How do I get the touch screen working?

    How do I re-set or get the touch screen fully working?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

  • How do I turn the dern thing off??

    Forgive my ignorance; I'm older than you are but newer to this technology stuff. I have a 5G iPod, and I know the manual said hold down the play/pause button space on the wheel to turn it off, but it doesn't seem to shut down; it just goes dark, then, when I press the "play" button, it lights up immediately where it left off. No apple, no boot up (or whatever you call it); just instant on. Am I missing something? I want to shut the thing down.
    Also, while we're at it, there's a menu item on the iPod for audio books, but when I download an audio book (not from iTunes) or load one from a CD, it only appears under "music" in the iPod. How can I separate audiobooks out so that, if I want to play music continuously, I'm not interrupted by a lecture?
    Thanks.

    Ya the Off/sleep thing is how it works. When you hold down the Play button the iPod screen shuts off but the iPod is just sleeping. If you leave it off long enough it will eventually go into a more OFF state and next time you turn it on you will see the apple screen boot up.
    Also, if the iPod is not playing and you don't touch it, it should turn itself off (well that sleep mode) in a couple minutes. So you can either leave it and let it turn off or push and hold the play button to force it to sleep. In either case, get in the habit of moving the hold switch (on top) to the hold position so it doesn't get accidentally turned back on in your pocket, a breifcase, etc.
    Sorry, I don't listen to audio books, so can not help you on that one.

  • Trouble turning iPod touch screen off

    This problem started a few days ago. Sometimes (mostly at night for some reason) I have difficulty turning my screen off by the button at the top of my iPod. Pressing it once gives me the screen for turning my iPod off completely instead of going to a black screen. I have to press the home button and then press the top one to black out the screen. This has happened so far only after I change the music I'm listening to.
    Also, occasionally I am able to turn the screen black and it will turn back on about a second later though I didn't touch anything.
    Any help with one or both of these problems would be truly appreciated.

    (Never mind this post.)

  • IMac connected to TV, can I turn the iMac screen off?

    Hi,
    I connected my Intel (white 20") iMac to my TV and I'm using the TV screen as the main screen with the menu bar and all that. But the iMac screen is always on, until you launch Front Row or Hulu..etc. then the iMac screen turns off. Is there a way to make the iMac screen to stay off permanently?
    Thanks
    Gene

    On the MacBook, you can wake it while the lid is closed, and the built-in display will not be used. You can then open the lid, and the built-in display should still stay off. At least, that's how it worked with my older PowerBook. So the MacBook design is capable of doing it without any additional software; Remote Buddy just takes a short cut, which is why it is kind of cool, like it does to change the "Main display" from one to the other, or "Toggle mirroring," without opening System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab.
    I was exactly where you specified in the Remote Buddy menu. The brightness control can adjust the brightness exactly like the built-in control, but even the lowest setting is not an OFF setting.
