How to deactivate Auto lock in iOS 8?

EVERY time i want to use my iPhone 5 iOS 8 i have to enter my passcode! Auto Lock = NEVER does not have any effect! What can i do? PLEEAAASE HELP!!

Hello, MaxsDad.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There could be two reason for this behavior and I will do my best to help. Try turning off Passcode off by going to Settings > Passcode > enter passcode > Turn Passcode Off. If this feature is unable to be disabled, check out the attached section below.
Can’t turn off your passcode or change passcode settings?
If you can't turn off or change your passcode settings or these settings are grey or dimmed out, you might be:
Using Touch ID, which requires a passcode.
Using a configuration profile that requires a passcode. This is common with business or education devices. Contact your IT administrator for more information.

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.

Bug : How to unlock iPad locked by IOS?

Hello,
I locked iPad with password to protect it from my kids. I don't want to allow them play with iPad without my permission. I know the password.
IOS had locked iPad after some incorrect attempts to unlock it. My kids did it. So, what is the correct way to use this feature ?
1. Perform backup after each use of iPad with help of iTunes. So, this way allow to restore iPad after next accident.
2. Fix this BUG in IOS.
What do you think about it?
Best regards, Roman.

It's not a bug - the iPad is designed as a one-user device.
One way around this would be to disable the passcode before handing it over to the child and re-enable it after they're finished.

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.

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;

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....

Auto-lock doesn't work after updating iOS 6.

I'm using iphone 4s. After updating iOS 6, the auto-lock function doesn't work anymore. I left it for 10 minutes and when i came back, the screen was still on although the auto-lock time is 2 minutes. I tested many times, tried to reboot but it didnt help. But the screen auto-lock is still working. Does anyone have problem like me and know how to fix it ?

Are you using Assistive Touch?
See this thread:
Re: IOs 6: Auto Lock Bug iPhone 4S (Updated)

My iPod touch screen doesn't shut off. The auto lock is set for two mintues, and everything else is working fine. I've noticed it only fails to shut off when in the music screen. How do I get the screen to shut off without using the lock button?

Please help. This is really annoying and it runs my battery down. My auto lock is set to two minutes. I've checked several times. Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 iOS 6 auto-lock problem

Since I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6, the auto-lock button doesnt work anymore.
In addition, after pushing the button, my iPhone starts to oscillate between the "power off" and "unlock" pages.
The same behavior happens also during the execution of different applications after a few seconds.
Under thes conditions, my iPhone is now unusable.
No clear for me how to step back to iOS 5 until this bug is fixed by Apple.

I use assitive touch as well but not because I need assistance. Some things I just find quicker to do by using it.
Since updating my iPhone 4 (not S) to iOS 6 yesterday (OTA), I'm also experiencing Auto-Lock not working 100% of the time. I've always had the auto-lock time set to it's 2 minute default and under 5.1.1, it has *always* auto-locked. Then today, I put the phone down for about 30 minutes after a brief use. I came back to the phone to find the screen still on with the battery level dropped as well cause of it. I had NO additional apps running...
I am experimenting now and it *seems* that if auto-lock is set to 1 minute, it will auto-lock correctly. It may be that the 2 minute setting is what's causing the issue. As I said, I'm still testing this, again with no additional apps running in my testing...stay tuned.

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??

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.

How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

You cannot do two different simultaneous VISA writes over a serial bus. There is a single rx line on the pc's com port and a single rx line on the instrument. You only hope is if the instrument allows you to chain commands and the reception of the carriage return triggers the instrument to implement both at the same time. Maybe you can send CTS01 and CTS02 separated by a space or comma. The manual should tell you if that's possible or maybe you need to ask the manufacturer.

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.

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.

How do i turn off the auto lock feature? In my options it does not have "never" on it. It is only timed amounts.

How do I turn off the auto lock feature. I have only timed options. There is not the "never" option available.

I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear
