IPhone 4 Auto-Lock

My phone is set to Auto-lock after 1 minute, however if certain applications are open (Text Messages, e-mails) it will not lock at all, whereas other applications (games, browser, news) it will lock after 1 minute. This never happened with my 3GS. Any explanation?

  • 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....

  • I am using iPhone 5s 32gb . Since yesterday  auto lock feature is not working ( I have set it to 1 minute ) and occasionally a blue band has startedappearing horizontally on the screen and moves across the screen

    Someone please tell the solution .
    Is it a hardware issue or os

    I have the same problem, only my lines are red. I just bought a 52 16GB to replace my iPhone 4. The old phone started having the red lines moving back and forth, and I looked on some of the forums, and was led to believe that it meant the phone was dying. Since I've had it for a long time, and it was real slow, I thought getting a new phone would be the solution. But wouldn't you know it, after a week or so, the red lines started showing up on the 5s. And now the auto-lock doesn't, and I keep running the battery down because I forget to manually lock it. The red lines make me think there's a virus, since it migrated to the new phone. As to the auto-lock, I have no idea.
    Any help would be really appreciated. I had to select a reply option, so I replied to the original post, but I'm hoping someone out there has a solution.
    Thanks!

    i did re-installing the software using iTunes, reset the network settings restarting the phone. Nothing solves my problem.
    wifi was working with older software versions. i think there should be a problem with 8.1.1.
    is anyone has fix for this issue?

  • My iPhone 4s with 5.1.1 Auto-Locked is ghosted at 1 minute and I can't change it.

    My iPhone 4s with 5.1.1 auto-locked is ghosted out and I can't change it.  This just happened and a restore doesn't help at all.  What can I do?

    Make a backup of the phone, remove one account at a time, and reboot after each one. See if it goes away.

  • 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.

  • IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
    I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajat S.

    ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.

  • IPhone, can not get it out of Auto-lock

    On occasions once my 3g Iphone has gone into autolock I am unable to use the phone again. I can not get it out of auto lock, I have tried restarting but it maskes no difference.
    I often have to ring it from another phone to bring the Iphone back to life, which is rather annoying and I am not always by another avaliable phone.
    Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix this? Thanks

    Have you tried reset (page 34 of the manual)?
    Restore - page 141?

  • IPhone 6 audio stops playing with auto lock and when earphones pulled out

    When playing an mp3 through Dropbox on my iPhone 6, by audio has been freezing when the phone goes into auto lock. It never used to do this, and I don't think I've changed any settings.
    I tried playing music through iTunes to see if it was a dropbox issue. The same thing happens. It also happens if I"m listening through the earphones and I pull the earphones out of the phone. The audio just turns off. iTunes is still open, but it stops playing.
    Does anyone know if this is an iPhone 6 thing?

    Thanks Meg,
    glad to know it's normal.
    So my problem remains with the audio freezing when the phone goes into auto lock then. This didn't used to happen.
    cheers,

    No, that shouldn't happen. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the apple appears?

  • 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)

  • IPhone 6 shuts down at auto-lock

    My husband and I each upgraded to the iPhone 6 in November. We have had zero problems until yesterday.
    His phone shuts down automatically when the 5 minute auto-lock activates. I reset the phone "as new" but this has not solved the problem.
    Prior to performing the reset, I turned on the phone and charged the battery as it had dropped to around 9% from 78% even though the phone was off for approximately 9-10 hours. I noticed that when the auto-lock feature was set, the phone would power off at the 5 minute mark, despite being charged. Once I turned off the auto-lock feature, the phone was able to charge to 100% and did not shut down on its own. We removed the phone from the charger and used it without incident. When the phone was not in use again, it shut down again.
    Any recommendations are welcome!

    Hey tfoxy74,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the detailed information. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your husband’s iPhone 6 shutting down unexpectedly. Usually, I would recommend attempting the troubleshooting steps in the following resources:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203899
    However, it sounds like you have already completed one of the best troubleshooting steps, which was restoring the iPhone as new and holding off on restoring the backup. If this is true, then it sounds like the iPhone may need to be serviced. I imagine it is still well within the warranty, so you may want to check out the following website for information on obtaining warranty service:

  • Iphone locks up in auto-lock mode

    when my iphone4 goes into auto-lock mode i have to reset to get it to turn back on.

    Hey Eric,
    Does this happen after using one specific app?
    Are you using any 3rd party car chargers or docking stations with the iPhone?
    If so make sure they have the works with iPhone logo. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1505
    You can try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new iPhone, just sync you data to your Mac before restoring.
