IOS auto lock duration

After upgrading to iOS 6.1 i found that i could set my auto lock duration to 'indefiniate'. I noticed yesterday that my phone auto locked as i was driving home. I checked my settings and observed that my 'indefinite' option was removed from my phone.
i am using an iPhone 4.5
Anyone expriance this? Is this a known issue? i tired resetting my phone to the facory settings but that didnt restore the option for me.

Do you have a company MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so, do you have a security profile (Settings/General/Profile, near the bottom)? If so your Exchange administrator can remove that option.

  • Disable iOS auto-lock

    @ http://www.adobe.com/products/air/features/
    we read :
    ---Begin
    Screen dimming (where applicable)
    Disable auto-lock and screen dimming on the phone to prevent  applications from going to sleep (useful, for example, in a video  streaming application that doesn't require frequent user input).
    ---End
    Any Idea how to disable auto-lock on iOS with air SDK 2.6?

    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....

  • 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.

  • 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??

    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, change language setting. 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.

  • Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

    Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

    My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
    I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh -  that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

  • 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:

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

    Temporary fix - turn off assistive touch if you happen to have it on.

  • 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.

  • Notification center and auto-lock does not work. iPhone 5 iOS 7.

    Hey there!
    I have got an issue with my iphone 5 after installing iOS 7.
    AfterI switch on my phone everything works perfectly but after some time ( sometimes it is few hours, few minutes ) the following options stops working:
    1. Notification center -  I cannot slide it down, neither the one from the top or bottom. Nothing happens when I try to do that.
    2. Auto-lock screen stops working! It is eating my battery really badly.
    Everything comes back to normal after restart but then again... some things happen as I mentioned above. Please Apple fix this ASAP because it really is frustrating. Am I the only with who has this issue?
    I am looking forward to hearing from you.
    Kamil

    Same here. For me, all three happens. Notification Center stops working, control center stops working, and the auto lock stops working. What I noticed:
    1. When I hold the power and home button together to do a force restart, the time it takes for the above problem to occur is far less than if you do a normal power off and on....
    2. Im currently running iOS 7.0.4... And with every update, the time it takes for the problem to come up again is getting shorter. With iOS 7.0.0 it used to be like 3-4 days. 7.0.2 it came down to 24-36 hours... Now, with 7.0.4 it happens within a couple of hours.
    It really gets frustrating because even if you are in the lock screen, the display doesnt turn off unless you manually press the sleep button....
    The only things I haven't tried yet:
    - Reset all settings (Frustration after the iOS 7.0.4 update might force me to do this within the next week....)
    - Restore the phone (Mine's 64GB 4S... And I don't sync my phone quite often so this is quite a hectic process for me. I dont want to do this unless I really have to)

  • 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.

  • Auto Lock Screen and Yahoo Messenger on iOS 6

    I experiencing few bugs after i upgraded my iphone 4 to iOS 6. The first one is about the auto lock of screen. Sometimes it won't work. And the last one is crashing and hanging when im using Yahoo Messenger.

  • Has anyone else had the problem where Siri on iOS 6 locks the phone after sending a text using a Bluetooth headset.   I have the auto lock turned off but I have had it happen many times.

    Siri is locking  my iPhone 5 running ios6 after sending a text message using my Jawbone icon HD Bluetooth earpiece.  Sometimes it will lock before the text is even sent. I have the auto lock turned off.

    I have this problem too. Auto lock is off and Siri can be used from the lock screen but this defeats the purpose of hands free usage for example when you are on a bicycle and can't use the phone normally. After sending a message or a reply to one Siri locks the phone and you cannot hear new messages until you unlock the phone which can be potentially dangerous!
    I'd love to see if there is a solution as I can't see any option in settings (either Siri settings or pass lock settings) to fix this.
