IPhone app suspended on screen lock

If this is the wrong forum for such a question, please let me know!
I've developed an iPhone app with Flash CS5 that polls certain things every few seconds. It's working as expected, except when the iPhone screen locks (by itself due to inactivity, not when a user presses the lock hardware button on the top of the phone).
Other applications I've seen are able to continue their polling or activity after the screen is locked, but mine appears to stop completely until the screen is unlocked. It resumes correctly after the screen is unlocked.
What do I need to do (either in the Actionscript or perhaps a publish setting?) to allow the app to keep polling when the screen is locked?

And so what happens when you actually connect your phone to your computer via USB like the logo indicates?

My apps close on screen lock, I thought it was normal, but it doesn't happen on my other iDevices.

It's an iPad mini 64GB. And once the screen locks whether manually or by closing the cover, after a few minutes whatever app I had open will close.
I thought this was normal, but on my iPhone 6+ it doesn't happen.
I don't think the built in apps have this problem, I mostly find it with games and video players. But the same games and video players work fine on my iPhone.
This issue has been there since iOS 7, on 8.1.2 now.
Any ideas?

You should still be under warranty. First try rebooting the iPhone by pressing and holding both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time until the Apple symbol appears, ignoring the power off slider. You should get indications of life within about 10 seconds while holding the buttons.

Hello Scorpio2013,
There are a couple of ways to disable VoiceOver: from iTunes and directly on the device itself. I've linked an article that contains steps for getting to a point at which you can disable VoiceOver.
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3577
VoiceOver
If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default; to enable it, tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
Cheers,
Allen

Problem WiFi while iPhone 4S is in screen lock

I bought an iPhone last week, and I've realized that when the iPhone screen is locked wifi disconnects.
If I have also connected 3G, the 3G connection appears, and if I have not connected 3G is none connection.
And in milliseconds reappears wifi icon again.
Is it normal?
Thank you very much.
*I heard something about it, but it happened in old iPhones.

I can't call !!
Today or Tomorrow I will try to go to an Apple Store.
Anything new?

You will then need to force the phone into recover mode (search Google). All data on the phone will be lost.

Is there an iPhone app that will screen calls?

I would like to make it so that a certain number can only contact me at certain times on certain days.

Consider using a 3rd party service such as Google Voice (free). It offers good filtering and controls, including schedules that might meet your needs.
No 3rd party iOS app would be able to access the core functions of the phone required to do what you want.

Is there a pattern screen lock for iPhone?

Like the android OS. Is there an app to download for iPhone that allows patter screen lock?

No. Applications cannot change the lock screen functionality in any way.

HT1725 App download interrupted by screen lock?

is there a way to download and app without the screen locking and interrupting it except turning off the screen lock?

Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), see if you can redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes (if you have the incomplete track listed in your library then you will need to delete that first, otherwise you won't get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Is there any way to block the shutdown of the device is protected by password? This function would help in case of theft with the issue of the find my iphone app.

Device experiences issues, locks up.
I need to do a reset.
How would I do that with a pass code lock in place?
Wait until the battery dies?
Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
"Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

Is there a way to lock the screen? Why did it copy all my iphone apps?

I really would like to lock the screen so it doesn't change position if I move it a little bit. Anybody know if this is possible?
Why the heck did it copy all of my Iphone apps onto itself even though I told it not too? Not too happy about that...
Otherwise I think it is absolutely amazing. The touch screen is very responsive. In fact, I think it is perfect.

There's a little switch above the volume buttons on the right side. Flip it and try turning the screen.

Not sure since we're not sure the processes you took to sync it. When its plugged into your computer and you are viewing it in iTunes you can go into the "Applications" tab and select which apps you want and don't want. On the main info page there is a checkbox that says sync apps automatically".
Cheers.

IPhone screen lock turns off app audio

Why does my This American Life app stop playing when I lock my iPhone screen? And how can I make it keep playing? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change? It's annoying to have to keep touching the screen so it will keep playing!

Wait, I just realized this only happens when I'm streaming audio -- I'm trying it now at home, with a WiFi connection, and it keeps playing after the screen locks.

I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas? Thanks

I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU

With a sim lock,
you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

No such app exisits or can exist. Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone. Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.
