PassCode (Auto Lock) Problems

My iPhone is PassCode locked, however the only option I have for auto lock is immediately. My wife's iPhone4 has options like immediately, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes. Any idea what's happening?
Thanks

Seems this is a bug. I've read it in several different forums. A workaround is to use the iPhone COnfiguration Utility to make and install a profile on your phone which will re-enable the missing settings. Apparently, this bug pops up after one uses the "Reset Settings" button, which I had done previously.

Disabling Passcode Auto-Lock

I have a new iPod Touch and ever since I enabled it to get my e-mail and calendar information from Outlook it requires me to use a Passcode and to set an auto lock time. This is frustrating but especially so when I am in the car listening to music and I want to skip a song. I have to type in my passcode and before I can skip the song. This is a dangerous operation if one is driving. Is there a way to disable the auto lock or make it only apply to the e-mail app? Is Apple planning to improve this in future uprgrades to the software? If not I will not be using the Touch as my MP3 player and only as a PDA. An Mp3 player that auto locks after a few minutes is not much good.

Apple's workaround for this is to tap the Home button twice. Then you get the basic player controls even though the unit is locked.
I hate the Touch for car use. I am forced to stare at it to change anything and find it dangerous. I keep a 5G iPod video in a case for extended car use, and I can feel around the scroll wheel that way.

HT4623 iOS 6 auto-lock problem

Since I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6, the auto-lock button doesnt work anymore.
In addition, after pushing the button, my iPhone starts to oscillate between the "power off" and "unlock" pages.
The same behavior happens also during the execution of different applications after a few seconds.
Under thes conditions, my iPhone is now unusable.
No clear for me how to step back to iOS 5 until this bug is fixed by Apple.

I use assitive touch as well but not because I need assistance. Some things I just find quicker to do by using it.
Since updating my iPhone 4 (not S) to iOS 6 yesterday (OTA), I'm also experiencing Auto-Lock not working 100% of the time. I've always had the auto-lock time set to it's 2 minute default and under 5.1.1, it has *always* auto-locked. Then today, I put the phone down for about 30 minutes after a brief use. I came back to the phone to find the screen still on with the battery level dropped as well cause of it. I had NO additional apps running...
I am experimenting now and it *seems* that if auto-lock is set to 1 minute, it will auto-lock correctly. It may be that the 2 minute setting is what's causing the issue. As I said, I'm still testing this, again with no additional apps running in my testing...stay tuned.

Notifications and passcode screen lock problem

Connect iPod to the computer you normally use it with (the first one that the iPod synced with) and open iTunes. Then disconnect the iPod from the computer and it should no longer be locked.
If not, you'll have to restore the iPod.

Auto lock problem with Shuffle 4th gen.

On power up, automatically enters button lock.
I'm then unable to take off the lock (hold play button for >3 seconds)
I have to switch off, then have a second or 2 to use controls before it locks itself again
Tried Reset/Restore etc. Any suggestions please!

Tried Reset/Restore etc. Any suggestions please!
A restore would have eliminated the possibility of software glitch/error so the problem is more than likely hardware related meaning you'll need to have the Shuffle serviced or replaced.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Battery drain problem - question if auto lock is problem

Just upgraded from iPad2 to Retina iPad. Went smoothly with cloud backup and download but experiencing sever battery drain. Went to use it 2 days ago after limited use prior evening (taking minutes in Evernote for 2 hr meeting) and had shut off. Restarted and had 2% battery and totally useless. Recharged overnight to 100% but had no demands yesterday. That evening opened up and found I had 21% remaining.
Did battery problem search at this site, made some adjustments, and recharged to 100% for this AM. Two primary adjustments were stopping Bluetooth and Autolock changed from never (iPad2 setting) to 10 minutes and wondering if the autolock feature is the problem as discussed in the next paragraph. Others I didn't change, gmail set to fetch/manual and Cloud is push. WiFi on and disabling like suggested in some threads would be a royal PITA having to turn it back on every time and counter to the Apple vision of useability. App Store is set to advise of updates. Each of those were like on the iPad2 where had no battery problem, except I didn't activate cloud until just prior to the upgrade. IOS on both machines fully upgraded to IOS 6.01.
Interesting discovery this AM. While I set the Auto-Lock to 10 minutes last evening, the the iPad Cover lock/unlock is set "ON". It appears that the 10 minute Auto Lock is working, however, the automatic lock/unlock is not which would explain the battery drain when set autolock was set to never. This AM as I opened it, had to manually unlock it as opposed to having the cover unlock it for me. As I close the cover and peek under the edge can still see the iPad illuminated until the 10 minutes kicks in...then manually unlock it again. The cover I am using is the heavy duty RooCase with magnetic clip and had no problem when using it with the iPad2. (Great case by the way!) Any suggestions? Thanks.

It worked great for me.

Has anyone else had the problem where Siri on iOS 6 locks the phone after sending a text using a Bluetooth headset. I have the auto lock turned off but I have had it happen many times.

Siri is locking my iPhone 5 running ios6 after sending a text message using my Jawbone icon HD Bluetooth earpiece. Sometimes it will lock before the text is even sent. I have the auto lock turned off.

I have this problem too. Auto lock is off and Siri can be used from the lock screen but this defeats the purpose of hands free usage for example when you are on a bicycle and can't use the phone normally. After sending a message or a reply to one Siri locks the phone and you cannot hear new messages until you unlock the phone which can be potentially dangerous!
I'd love to see if there is a solution as I can't see any option in settings (either Siri settings or pass lock settings) to fix this.

I want to reset passcode, but under settings/genereal I have only auto-lock and restrictions

I want to reset passcode using IOS7 but in settings/general, ther is no "reset passcode'" only "auto lock" and "

Tap Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock -> Enter passcode -> Turn passcode off -> Enter passcode again.
Or you can change the passcode here.

Auto-Lock and Passcode Lock

So even though I'm not the dumbest rock in the box, I cannot for the life of me understand the difference between auto-lock and passcode lock. When I go into settings and then into general, I have set my phone to auto-lock at 5 minutes. I also have set a 4-digit passcode, but I don't understand what the "after 1 minute" setting means. What am I missing? I've read p. 98 of my user's guide over and over, yet I still don't get it. Thanks for any help and for resisting comment on my learning curve.

So would my 5 minute passcode lock "override" the 1
minute auto-lock?
There is no 5-minute passcode lock. You have them backwards.
Auto-lock (which is more like "sleep") is the one that has the various times you can select. But the screen does "lock," in that you have to swipe your finger across the screen to "unlock" it.
Passcode lock adds the 4-digit code to the process. The time you've specified for Auto-lock (1-5 minutes) still applies. The display will go to "sleep" (i.e., "auto-lock") within that amount of time.
But say you've just put the phone down temporarily -- right in front of you, while you're doing something else -- and you see it go to "sleep." Do you want to have to enter your passcode immediately, or do you want a 1-minute "grace period," giving you the chance to pick up your phone and "wake it up" without having to enter the code? That "grace period" is what "After 1 min." means on the Passcode Lock page.

Auto lock vs Passcode Lock

What is the difference between Auto lock and Passcode Lock?

auto lock and passcode lock are two different things.
auto lock is to turn off the display)when you leave the phone unlocked and not use it( it's something like a screen saver that comes up in your computer screen after a while of inactivity, you can set the time in the auto lock section.so if you choose "never" it won't lock(turn of the display).this feature is to save battery life when the screen is turned on and your are not using it.
passcode lock is to lock your phone with a passcode(either simple or complex).to un lock your phone you have to enter your passcode(since you are using iphone 5, i am not going to talk about the finger print sensor).this is like locking your computer with a password.you can set a timing as well to ask for the passcode.
you can see just the auto lock or the passcode lock and you can use it in a combination as well.
lets say for example if you set autolock to 1 minute and passcode lock to never, and you unlock your phone and just leave your phone on the table with the display on, the auto lock will click in and lock your phone in 1 minute.when you unlock the phone you dont have to enter the passcode since you set it to never.
but if you set the passcode to immedietly or 1 min with the same auto lock setting, you will need to enter passcode when you unlock the phone.
i hope i made it clear enough, you can just play with the settings and see for yourself.

2- Rebooted it from recovery, still black
3- Did a full Restore, still black
Now it's totally empty and still the same black screen.
Any ideas ?

Auto-Lock time vs. Passcode time

I'm too embarassed to admit what I thought the difference was, but just in case anyone who is starting out with an iPhone is confused, here's a tip that may help.
Auto-Lock time is the time delay before the iPhone goes to sleep when not in use.
"Require Passcode" means you can wake instantly from that sleep until the Passcode kicks in, ranging from immediately, to never if you don't want to have to enter a code.
Mine is set to sleep after one minute of non-use. But you can wake it in the first 15 minutes of sleep without entering a code.
I know this seems obvious, but the terminology is not and the manual does not so much as mention setting the Passcode interval, just Auto-Lock. So hope this helps somebody sort it out and doesn't get me too thoroughly flamed (grin).

Passcode lock problem

So I wanted to try the problem the 2.0.x firmware has with the passcode lock. Went to my Settings>General>Passcode Lock> entered my passcode twice, locked the phone, unlocked it....didn't ask for a passcode. Rebooted the phone, did the procedure a few times, still no passcode lock.
What could be the problem? I need this feature for when I travel and it doesn't seem to work at all, bug or no bug

You need to set the time after which you want it to lock. From memory it can be imediately, after 1 minute etc
