IOS 7 Screen Locks Randomly

I am having the weirdest thing happened since updating to iOS 7 my iPad mini tends to auto lock the screen during normal use, not all the time just random. Most of the time when this happens, is when after I unlock the iPad from sleep and attempt to use my Apps the lock screen and sound automatically clicks and the screen goes dark "back to sleep". This issue causes me to unlock a second time to actually use my iPad. This issue happens randomly less then 20% of the time just enough to be annoying, I don't remember this issue before iOS 7... I have already logged in my issue at apple.com/feedback

This may because a magnet is getting close to the right edge of your iPad. The iPad smart covers have a magnet in them so that when you close the cover, the device goes to sleep.
To turn this feature off:
1. Open the Settings App.
2. Tap General.
3. There you will see iPad Cover Lock / Unlock. Turn this Off.
If this does not work please reply and I will look further into your problem

Computer goes screen lock randomly and intermittenly

Recently purchased a MBP w/Retina Display. As I use the computer, it will randomly (and several times throughout the day) go to screen lock state. havent been able to figure out why.
Have tried the following to rule out some issues:
A) Power Settings - Does on battery or plugged in
B) Inactivity - Does it even as I am typing or using the mouse
C) Crash - all apps are at their state and not reloaded, so it doesnt look like anything is crashing and sending it to screen lock.

I just received my MBP w/ Retina 3 days ago and have the exact same problem This occurred twice: Yesterday while on a flight out and today on the flight back. My early suspicion is that it has something to do with the uneven surface of the tray table on both flights. It does not happen on a solid surface. I don't know if this is due to flex in the thinner body activating the sleep or a similar problem with pressure on the screen hinge but again, I am suspect this could be the problem.

My iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.1 will randomly stop what I'm doing show a black screen then the spinning icon and then it shows my lockscreen. It takes about a minute to do this and it does it about 30 times a day. How do I fix this?

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

I am unable to unlock my iPhone 4. When I swipe to unlock, a woman's voice comes on and says "screen locked." I am running IOS 7.1

When I try to swipe to unlock my iPhone 4, I am unable to do so. A woman's voice comes on saying: "screen locked." I am running IOS 7.1 What could be causing this problem, please and how can I resolve it?

Tap on the "slide to unlock" text, and after you hear the voice, double tap the text. If you have a passcode, tap the letter, wait for the voice, and double tap the letter. Repeat for each letter.
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver OFF. You may also be able to turn it off by triple pressing the home button.

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Recent iOS update has made my iPad 2 unusable. The screen locks up. It's very laggy and web pages do not load correctly. Is there a fix for this or are they even working on a fix.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Can I keep iOS 7 from turning off my Wifi when screen locks

can I keep iOS 7 from turning off my Wifi when screen locks?

No. The Wi-Fi auto-shutoff is meant to be a means to conserve battery life.

My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

Have you tried to power off and on? If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

Detect screen lock on iOS to stop video broadcasting

I'm developing a video chat app and for technical and privacy reasons, the app must stop sending video when the phone is locked. The camera will stop working there anyway (getting back to the app shows a frozen video).
I'm using UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend, which works well for the home button, but how can I detect the screen lock?
With the camera not working when the phone is locked and the lock not being detectable, this would be a pretty big showstopper in general for video apps, but I haven't found a way to solve this.

Hi blooblzr,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the camera app stops responding. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

IOS 4.3 - screen locked during incoming call

Hello, all!
I have interresting problem after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 4. Sometimes (1 time per each 10-20 times) when incoming call is received, ipone playing the ringtone, vibration is generated and I see on display usually information "incoming call from..." and slide button to receive call - then touch screen of iPhone becomes fully locked and I can not receive the call ! Hardware pushbuttons (power and volume control) still working, but display is fully locked! In this case it is only one way to answer the call - using bluetooth headset. Any other way and any other operations have no any effect - iPhone still playing rington and still waiting when I answer the call.
This situation occurs aproximately on every 10th or 20th incoming call - i.e. one or two times per each day. And, of cource, this is usually very important call that i can not answer because of this stupid situation.
The problem was detected after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 via iTunes.
So, please tell by wich way it is possible to fix this bug and where I have to send notification to solve this problem in the shortest time?
Thanks!

I'm experiencing what is I believe to be the same issue with my iPhone 4, and have been suffering in silence for about a week.
iPhone 4 model MC603X with Modem Firmware 04.10.01, 16Gb, cheap silicone cover, Vodafone NZ as my carrier.
My screen locks after 1 minute of inactivity as it should with my settings. Perhaps 1 call in 5, or 1 call in 10, the screen wakes up and displays called ID information etc correctly, but I cannot swipe to answer the call. The touch screen simply fails to respond.
If I push the power button briefly to silence the ringtone, this does not make a difference. The iPhone has to be locked (and screen turned off), then push a hardware button to wake up the display, and then I can swipe to unlock the device.
This is only since iOS 4.3 and unfortunately iOS 4.3.1 has not changed this behaviour.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Mike

HT201210 After updating iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password.

After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password and I am locked out of my phone. Anyone else seeing this? What can I do to fix this?

Hello kennyred,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Streamed music stops when screened locked on iOS 8

Streaming stops when screen locks on iOS 8

I was having this problem too, but I just now discovered that it starts playing again if I press the volume control on the iPad.

Where is the new screen lock button on the iOS 7?

Prior to the update. My iPod had the screen lock to prevent my screen from changing directions. Now, with the update, when you double click on the home button, it's gone. Where is it now?

drag up from the bottom of the screen, and control center will appear. You will see a circle icon for it.
