IPhone screen stays on too long

Can anyone tell me why my screen would stay on longer than a minute when the phone isn't being used? Sometimes I've noticed this when it's attached to a music dock or via USB to my laptop, but lately it seems to stay on even when it's sitting on my desk unconnected to anything. Easy enough to shut off the screen by pushing the button on top, but I'm using up battery power I don't want to, and it seems like the phone should go to sleep sooner than it is.

Many thanks.
I see how it happened. I'd turned on a password lock for a couple days a while ago, and when I turned it off, I set Auto-Lock to "never," thinking this was the way to turn off the password lock.

  • How can I make the lock screen stay active for longer than 5 seconds?

    I'd like to have the lock screen stay active for longer than 5 seconds.  Too many times I've not seen a notification come through.  I'd like to have it stay on for at least 5 minutes for shutting down.  I'm suprised a "lock screen delay" option isn't a general setting available to unjailbreaked phones. 

    Sorry, no.
    Tell Apple you'd like a setting to alter this:

    Your coding mask is exceeding the limit of 24 characters(including special characters). Reduce some characters to make it 24 or less then 24.

  • My iphone screen stays locked in a magnified position

    my iphone screen stays locked in a magnified position. Any icon fills 30% of the entire screen. I have tried resetting without any success. I also restored my phone using iTunes and the problem still persists.
    Any idea of what is wrong?

    You probably have Zoom on... double tap with three fingers.

  • IPhone 3 screen active for too long

    Hi I have an iPhone 3 and have a problem, if I am out and use the phone the screen remains active for too long, leaving me standing there with phone in hand waiting for the screen to become inactive before I dare put it back in my pocket (Because otherwise the stupid thing does things like ring numbers in my numbers directory or activates an app in my pocket)...
    I am sure there must be something that we can do apart from stand around like an idiot with phone in hand before the **** active screen deactivates...

    I need it to go to sleep sooner than the 1 minute default to avoid accidental dialing when putting it back in my pocket.  There does not seem to be a way to set it to 30 seconds , or is there?

  • Is it possible to damage iPhone screen by pressing too hard?

    I have an iPhone 5s and I take really good care of it and want it to last a long time. I have an Otter Box and a screen protector and stuff to keep it in good condition. Sometimes, if I press the screen a little bit harder than usual, I notice that it looks liquidy for a second and the colors become wavy and distorted for a moment. The condition goes away after I release the pressure. Could I be damaging the screen when this happens?

    But is it possible to damage the screen by pressing too hard, regardless of whether you have a screen protector?
    Absolutely. You're talking about a glass screen over sensitive electronic components. It would be rather difficult to do with a finger, though.

  • Why ipad 2 / iphone 3g resetting takes too long?

    Im trying to reset and delete all content of my ipad and iphone 3g by choosing the selections about resetting on the general. Why it takes too long to reset my ipad / iphone 3g? It is almost 2 days my ipad are on the apple logo / looping circle appears on it and still im waiting for my ipad / iphone 3g to return to main screen.  What will i do? Thanks...

    There is no other way except to restore the iPad - plain and simple. You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will need to use recovery mode

  • 6070 - Making the screen stay illuminated for long...

    How can I increase the time the display stays illuminated? No matter what I try, the screen darkens to unreadable after about 5 seconds. I've tried adjusting the Time Out setting in Screen Saver, and I've tried turning Power Saver on and off.
    I'd like the display to stay illuminated for at least a minute after key activity finishes.

    Just checking up on this again because I can't seem to figure it out.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • IPhone 4 restore taking too long

    I'm restoring my iPhone 4 (after it failed to take on the 4.3.2 software update and was restored back to factory setting at the apple stroe). I chose the option to restore it back to the most updated backup, which was a night ago. It had about 22gb of music (mostly), pics and apps (no video). I'm now in the 4th hour of the restore and the bar says there are 6 hours remaining. Is that normal? Should I disconnect the phone and try again?

    Isn't this appalling,  Nothing to do with the size of your library or how many apps you have downloaded I feel.
    I have a brand new iphone 4 with NO music or contacts or apps installed. I made the mistake of clicking "update to 4.3.3.almost 3 hours ago - and so far - in spite of having paid a small fortune for this supposed wonderful  device - I am yet to make one single phone call.
    The progress bar doesn't seem to be moving and I don't know whether to just unplug the thing or whether to leave it a while longer.
    What a nonsense. At least my Nokia works.

  • LG G2 flash stays on too long

    Our LG G2 when used in low light, the flash stays on for 6 sec before picture is actually taken, it can blind the subject for minutes after.  This issue was asked before on this link https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/830574.  I followed all the steps to include the Safe Mode, it also happens in safe mode. The discussion ended without any resolution.  Any suggestion, this phone is 4 days old with the latest software version VS09827A.  We have another phone, the exact model also new and it also has the condition.

    YateK,
    Thanks for getting back to me.  I wanted to wait until it actually got dark to test your theory.  The Night mode is not the solution, the picture is dark and grainy.  The flash does work but with the light staying on for the 6-7 sec.  The camera does take great pics but when the flash is needed it can not be used for people only objects.  I understand LG's quest for the best result by lighting the subject until the camera can sort out the best focus, but my HTC2 takes a great picture, with flash, in about 1 sec. This is more like a "real" camera's handling of the need for flash.
    You also mentioned a 3rd party app but reading the reviews some have the chance to turn the phone into a "brick" if not done correctly or they don't work at all.
    I may consider turning this phone back during my trial period for a Samsung, only after testing its handling of the flash issue.

    can't start up my ipod 5thG and stay remining the logo of apple for too long don't know how to do????

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
