IPhone 4 iOS 7 lock screen won't automatically shut off after receiving a message

whenever i get a message on my iphone 4 (ios 7) the lock screen does not automatically shut off. it just stays on until i manually turn it off and it drains my battery completely! how do i fix this? it's really annoying.
i have auto-lock set to 1 minute.

Same issue here.
Noticed it on a iPhone 4 and iPhome 5S.
Already running iOS 7.0.3.
Screen, last night three times, goes into lockscreen and seems to be stuck there. It won't go off (into suspend or how you call it) until you hit the button.
Not sure if it's messages related, since i didn't get any message the last "freeze" time.
I was running some apps, including GPS and Safari and whatsapp.

  • After my software update, my iPod screen won't automatically turn off without manually locking... help!

    my iPod screen won't automatically turn off without manually locking... help!
    Does anyone know how to change the settings so it will turn off/dim/lock automatically without needing to press the white button at the top all day?  I'm draining batter and it's so annoying!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Wallpaper on iPhone 5 Lock Screen won't stay

    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to a new iPhone 5 a couple of days ago and noticed that the lock screen wallpaper I had on the 4S did not transfer. I assumed it was because the image I had used was no longer in my photo roll and changed it to something else. The iPhone will only actually show the lock screen wallpaper on a random basis, however; most of the time there is nothing displayed. This is true whether I choose a stock image or something from my camera roll. The normal app background wallpaper is unaffected and shows exactly as expected.
    Is anyone else seeing this sort of annoying behavior?
    Never mind. I didn't think about the fact that, when charging, it only displays the battery charging image.

  • Toshiba LCD 40G300 television won't stay shut off after connecting to my tablet

    I have an ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T. I connect my tablet to my television by using the HDMI port on the television. This action works completely fine. When I disconnect my tablet from the television and attempt to turn off my television, the television turns off momentarily and then turns back on. The only way that I have found to correct this is to unplug my television. This apparently allows the television to reset itself and thus I'm able to shut off the television and have it stay off. Please advise as to what I can do so that I don't have to continue to unplug my television to shut it off.
    Thanks! 

    Does this happen only after using it with the tablet? Do any other devices have this effect?
    What happens if you turn off the TV first and then unplug the tablet?

  • TS1702 My iBooks will automatically shut off after just a minute or so of viewing a PDF?

    Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

    I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?

    Sorry, but it's not.  The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

  • I have an iPhone 5 that constantly shuts off after 5-10 minutes..

    My iPhone 5, purchased on Amazon, used, constantly shuts off after 5-10 minutes of uptime right after a color fade. I got it to stay on but I just can't reboot it otherwise it'll happen again. But if I don't reboot it, my battery percentage will not update. I'm not sure if it's water damage or just a bad battery. I'm afraid to leave it charging overnight since the battery percentage doesn't budge and it'll just continue charging.

    You should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and see if the battery needs to be replaced.
    Did you check the moisture indicators to see if the device did get damaged by liquid?

  • How do I remove the lock(with the circle around it) from the top of my iPhone? The screen won't display sideways.

    How do I remove the lock (with the circle around it) on my Iphone? The screen won't change to the side view. I have no idea what button I accidently

    Double click the home button, swipe the dock at the bottom of the screen to the right, tap the circle/lock so it becomes just a circular arrow.

  • I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
    And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

    I have no idea why it stopped working.  But why it failed does not matter.
    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repair Center and have it assessed and see what it would take to get it working.

  • Ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation

    what is the solution when ipad home screen won't automatically adjust to horizontal orientation?

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Hi my friend gave me his old Iphone 1 today and its stuck in the apple boot logo. Sometimes it automatically shuts off but about a second later it comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Im hoping to restore it.. Thx

    Hi my friend gave me his iphone 1 today and its stuck at the apple boot logo. Some times it automatically shuts off but about a second later is comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Thanks for the help.

    You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
    You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
    If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
    If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
    If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.
