Is there a way to lock screen while talking?

Is there a way to automatically lock the iphone screen when talking? I keep resting the phone on my shoulder while working and I accidently either hang up on people or I end up adding conference calls with people I haven't talked to in years. Its getting pretty embarassing.
thanks

You might want to check the sensors which are to the left of the earpiece on the phone when you are looking at the screen. Test it by making a call, and placing your hand over the left portion of the screen, if the screen doesn't turn off, then it would seem that the sensors aren't working. You could try backing up your phone in iTunes and doing a restore to see if that will fix the problem, and if that doesn't you should take it into an Apple store and have them take a look.

How can I stop my phone from going into the lock screen while talking on it? (New issue with ios 6)

Prior to ios 6, I could talk on my phone and have the mute button available. Now it goes into lock mode while speaking on the phone. This is terribly annoying when on conference calls and you want to mute/unmute, or just hang up a call. I now have to swipe to unlock, go to phone, and hang up or unmute. I've tried upping my timeout, but that just delays the inevitable.

Yep, it's a pain. What's even more concerning is that at the Genius Bar, he was trying to tell me that this is the was it was supposed to be, so they probably fixed it in OS 6. He said it is for people that are using "Bluetooth" and want to keep the phone in their pockets". Ridiculous! What compounds the issue is that the Apple Reps have no clue as to what's going on, and either do the senior tech's on the phone. As I said in my message, this has made it very cumbersome, and makes it very difficult for those who need to use wired headsets.

Iphone 4 how to lock screen while talking?

I just got an iphone 4 white (Verizon). I haven't seen this problem posted in a while but I'm having a terrible time while making a call, I'm constantly bumping buttons with my face while on a call which can lead to muting, dropped calls, etc.
I do have an Otterbox Defender. Is this messing with the sensor? Either way there must be some way around this because I need a case and can't be taking it off each time I get a call. I've tried the lock/sleep button on the top and that drops the call (unless you're on speaker).
What is the fix? Do I have a defective phone?
Thanks for any help!

this is a pic of my case. So what should I do? Thanks a lot!!!

Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times. I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position). I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back. This is very annoying.
I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos. Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use. It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located. (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

Lock screen while playing videos and music?

iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 (up to date), no SiM card installed.
This is an old iPhone I use to play videos and music for my daughter (2 years). She watches the video, but tends to too=uch the screen because that's what kids do. This pauses the video, or sends the phone to the home screen. Is there a way to lock out the screen while the video plays so that only the home button will pause the video?

Hi Scott,
I think Guided Access with Ignore all screen touches is what you need.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7fad0d10
Turn on Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:
Turn Guided Access on or off
Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
Start a Guided Access session. Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.
Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. Use the handles to adjust the area.
Enable the Sleep/Wake or Volume buttons: Tap Options and turn on the buttons.
Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch.
Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.
End a Guided Access session. Triple-click the Home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, and tap End.
Have fun,
Nubz

How can I lock screen while in a phone call

My earrings keep muting & hanging my phone calls up; is there a way that the screen can be locked during a call?

If it's not locking automatically, there may be something wrong with your proximity sensor. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? It can't hurt.
You can also lock it by tapping the button on the top of the phone.

Is There A Way To LOCK Items To The Dock (to prevent accidental drag off)

Is there a way to lock items to the dock to prevent accidentally dragging them off? Every now and then, I'll accidentally drag something I just meant to click (really, I click too hard while moving my mouse) and I'll see a POOF as the icon disappears... which means I have to dig for it in the finder and replace it. D'oh!

run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock
to unlock it change true to false in the command.

I want to take an iPad 3 on a long trip. Is there any way to back up while I'm on the road?

I want to take an iPad 3 on a 2-month trip. Is there any way to back up while I'm away from my home computer?

Your own movies are backed up in the camera roll wich is backed up to iCloud. You should be able to restore the movies if something were to happen to them if you use iCloud for your backups. You would have to purchase more storage from iCloud, but the videos will be backed up
You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones

Is there a way to lock the folder arrangement in Apple Mail?

My Mother-In-Law has Retinitis and is not able to see well. Every now and then she'll accidentally drag a folder into another in the Folder List.
Is there any way to lock the arrangement of the folders so she can't drop a folder into another, or into the trash?
I'm unable to find anything in the settings or menus.

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

TS1702 Is there a way to lock out or restore original settings on an iPad used in a school lab setting. We need something like the program cornerstone, which will allow the iPad to revert back to its original setup.

Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.
