Lock screen - does it really turn off ipad mini?

....because i do this and i still hear the email chime.
i know i can go under sounds and select none for email. i know i can mute the whole ipad.
does it really power down when i tap lock screen?

Ive had 3 iPads now including a Mini and I have never really seriously used the off/on switch at the side of the device. I find that as long as I power down all the hidden Apps so that all of them are off, it sleeps without loosing much power. I only turn off my Mini in theaters...
I only have one hand so I can't do a reboot using both hardware buttons, that's my issue?

  • 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.

    See Here for
    Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore...
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    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!

    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.

    works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1).  Try again.  with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only.  (you cannot get rid of the subject)    with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

  • Creative Zen ver1.21.01 - Screen doesn't always turn off when in lock m

    The screen doesn't always turn off when we lock the player.
    It's a random problem, maybe related to some screens only.
    When playing songs, if we lock the player, the screen fades out a little bit and will turn off automatically after 2-3 seconds. But in some screens (try the System/Information by example), it always remains in faded-mode, even after more than 5 minutes.
    Thanks.

    It dit it again yesterday, when my album finished to play (in lock mode), I opened my case and discovered that the screen was still on.
    Maybe something in the process of the playing makes the the screen turn on automatically. I usually?use playlists, maybe the screen turns on when the?play stop?
    I know that's not a very important issue, but for me it's "buggy"!
    I have my player since week and it froze 3-4 time, so yes I had the "chance" to use the wonderfull reset button!

  • Cannot turn off iPad

    I pressed sleep buttom for several minutes, but nothing shows on the screen except the apple mark. I would like to know how to turn off iPad if sleep buttom does not work.

    Try resetting the iPad. Hold down on the sleep AND home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider. Let go of the buttons. Let the iPad fully restart and then try to turn the iPad off again.

  • Is my iPod really turned off?

    My backlight goes off but the text stays on the screen when not connected to power source. If I hold the pause/play button and it does go blank but as soon as I let go the screen lights back up again and the text is back.
    Is this iPod ever really turning off?
    iPod 5th gen.   Windows XP Pro

    When you hold the play/pause button and the text
    shuts off, it is properly asleep. Then you might
    want to switch on the hold switch to ensure you don't
    accidentally press a button & turn it back on.
    See if this helps;

    Bryan....
    well according to that article you sited
    "When iPod is not powered and sleeps, the screen is blank."
    my text never dissappears unless it is charging...then I get the charging symbol....so if there is alwasy something on the screen I can assume it's not working properly??? Do you think?
    Since I've never seen any one else's when it was turned off I'm not sure if the screen is supposed to go totally blank. I had a generation 2 and that one did shut totally off and the text would dissappear....that was why I assume this one would do the same.
    I would seem to me of the text was still showing it would HAVE to be using power still?
    <sigh> I hate to have to part with it to have it serviced. I havn't had it that long.
