Prevent iphone 3G gps/maps from going on standby

Just asking because I can't believe this essential feature is not available; I can't find the setting to tell Maps to prevent the iPhone 3G from going into Standby whilst the app is active and running. Obviously if you're in the car trying to use Maps for GPS navigation, you have to keep tapping the screen to keep the phone from standing by. It's a smooth and brilliant app, but for the purposes of navigation this renders it somewhere between very frustrating and completely useless. I'm just hoping I've missed the option somewhere, as it's disappointing to think that so much attention to detail has gone into this phone only to find the blindingly obvious has been omitted. Same for things like a hide keyboard button in some of the default apps (ie SMS). It's just.... missing.
I know I can just turn off automatic standby in the iPhone settings, but that's a poor solution! Is there an option to disallow auto standby for Maps, and if not, how can we lobby/submit suggestions for it to be included in the next firmware update?? Being able to keep the backlight from dimming would make sense as well.

The Maps program is not designed for turn-by-turn in motion directions, like a Garmin, etc.
As you know, you can set the Auto lock to never, which would accomplish what you want.

  • My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

    That's normal behavior. It turns off automatically in order to preserve the battery. Pushing the On/Off button turns it on immediately. This also requires entering the passcode and prevents the phone from being accessed by anyone but you.

  • How do I prevent Iphone 6 voice control from activating

    I had the problem on my 4 but I thought it was just old.  Now, my Iphone 6 is 2 days old and it is doing the same thing!!!!!!
    The voice control activates on it's own for no reason and then impacts music play.  The songs are sped up and then skip around as voice control keeps cutting in.  I do not have shake to shuffle on and I do not have Siri active.  This seems to be a recurring problem since the 3.  Can Apple please address it, I am about to return my Iphone 6!!

    holy cow, I thought I was cursed until I read your question.  My iphone 4 was driving me crazy for its last month activating Voice Contol on its own.  I too thought it had just gotten old.  I've had my 6 plus for two days and the same thing is now happening!!   That inane blue screen and doorbell noise popping up.   I feel like throwing the phone at the wall. 
    Seeing you have the same problem is a bit insightful because it suggests that it's not the phone but something else.  How else could both of us have identical problems at the same time with four phones?  
    i am wondering if somehow we have a bugged backup that is causing the problem to propagate itself?   Sometimes my ipad 2 also has music playing issues but no voice control problems.  I.e., I can be listening to Pandora and suddenly the music pauses itself.  
    Another problem I had on my iphone 4 at the end was that it would suddenly pause music as well.  Other times it would speed playback up as if I were holding the scrubbing key down.  Did you have anything similar?
    I wonder if backing the phone up with a version say two months or so ago is worth a shot?

  • Prevent billing document from going to COPA

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to prevent a certain billing document from going to COPA. I created a new pricing condition, assigned an account key and linked this account key to a GL account. This enabled the condition value to be transferred to the GL account. In order to prevent the condition value from going to COPA, I did not assign this condition type to a COPA value field (transaction KE4I).
    However, I notice that the bllling document is going to COPA but no condition values are getting transferred. Is it possible to prevent such billing documents from going to COPA entirely (as they would unecessarily create a profitability segment)?
    P.S: This billing document was created with reference to a delivery of type LO (delivery without order reference) as we do not have the need for a sales order in this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Rugmani

    Hi
    First of all, I would like to ask you why you would not like to take this in COPA. When a revenue value is posted in GL account and you dont take a posting in COPA, it would imbalance your FI and COPA profitability...
    However, if you have rationally analysed your requirement and you would like to do it anyway, then here is the solution
    Use Exit COPA0005 and apply the following code..
    (This code is sample, based on blocking COPA doc where distribution channel = 45 and Ref Org Unit = CRMB).. You need to write your code in a way that it does not stop creating the COPA doc in other cases where it is required....
    Do thorough testing once you have this code..
    *&  Include           ZXKKEU07
    data : wa_ACCIT type ACCIT.
    if I_ERKRS = 'XXXX'. (Your Op Concern Code)
      read table T_ACCIT into wa_accit with key VTWEG = '45' AWORG = 'CRMB'.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        E_INIT = 'X'.
      endif.
    endif.

  • HT202124 Is plug in a USB wireless receiver (Logitech Unifying Receiver) prevents Macbook Pro Retina going to standby mode?

    As the title implies, is this prevent Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) from going to standby mode? It's not convenience to unplug the wireless receiver every time I don't use the notebook though.

    That kind of panic can be caused by an adapter for an external display that isn't connected to anything. See this thread.
    There are also reports that the panic may be triggered by waking an external display from sleep. To test that theory, open the Energy Saver preference pane and click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Move the Display sleep slider all the way to the Never position on the right. See whether there's any change.

  • When using Maps as GPS,  screen keeps going off - iPhone 3G

    When I use maps as a gps, how do I stop the screen from going off?

    But, that makes the auto-lock feature be turned off for all usages. What about if you only want the screen to stay on while you're using Maps? I have to turn off the auto-lock every time and then go back and turn it back on? It seems like this should be a setting in the Maps app instead of having to change the master settings.

  • Preventing the User from going back to the main page after logging out.

    Hi all,
    In my project I want to prevent the User from going back to the Main page, by clicking the back button of the browser, after the user has loggged out.I had invalidated the session so the user will not be able to do any operations, but he can vew the infos. I want to redirect to the login page if the user tries to go back using the back button after he has logged out.
    I tried the same in this forum after loging out. Surprisingly it is the same. I can browse through all the operations i did even after logging out from here.
    Is it not possible to do that in Servlets?Could somebody help?
    Thanks,
    Zach.

    Hi,
    You can use a servlet filter to do this , as it can interceptany request to your application you can decide to allow user access or not to any page/servlet.
    public class Test implements Filter{
         public void destroy() {
         public void doFilter(ServletRequest arg0, ServletResponse arg1, FilterChain arg2) throws IOException,
                   ServletException {
              System.out.println("filter");
              HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) arg0;
              if(!request.getRequestURI().contains("index")){ // set condition that will be checked to verify if the user is logged in
                   System.out.println("redirecting ... ");
                   RequestDispatcher d = arg0.getRequestDispatcher("/index.jsp");
                   d.forward(arg0, arg1);
              arg2.doFilter(arg0, arg1);
         public void init(FilterConfig arg0) throws ServletException {
    }in you web.xml add :
    <filter>
              <filter-name>test</filter-name>
              <filter-class>test.Test</filter-class>
         </filter>
         <filter-mapping>

  • Why can't I import gps data from iPhone photos in aperture 3

    I have an iPhone 4 (it's already an old model!) and why can't i still not import GPS-data from photo's on my iPhone 4 in Aperture...
    Importing photos from the iphone just goes fine...

    Richie:
    But do you see the GPS of the iPhone data in Meta data section of the Inspector (set to a preset that shows GPS), as Frank Caggiano asked?
    If the images do import the EXIF data, then you should be able to lift and stamp the GPS coordinates. I do that freuently.
    Select on of your iPhone images and lift the sata
    In the lift&stamp HUD deselect everything but the GPS coordinates, like this.
    If no GPS-coordinates do appear in this setting, then your iPhone images do not have the EXIF info required, and you may need to check the iPhone settings.
    If you see the EXIF data, then you just need to select the DSLR images that were taken at the same location and you can stamp the EXIF data to the DSLR images.
    And after that you should be able to see their locations in the Places view.

  • Prevent iPhone Mail from loading images in HTML e-mails

    Hello there!
    Is it possible to prevent iPhone Mail from loading images in e-mails?
    If yes, where can I change those settings?
    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Ian, thanks for your quick reply.
    I just hope Apple is going to build this feature into one of the next firmware updates, since from my point of view this is not only a security concern, but could turn out quite expensive if you are on a bad price plan.

  • How do I keep my iPhone or ipad from going to sleep while using airplay to my Apple TV ?, How do I keep my iPhone or ipad from going to sleep while using airplay to my Apple TV ?

    With airplay on, how to keep ipad from going to sleep? Same with my iPhone, with airplay steaming to my Apple TV, the phone or ipad will go to sleep. Settings?
    Advice welcome.
    Thank you for your time, Eric

    Yes, that is happening because of the app. Not all apps behave this way. For example, if you use the youTube app with AirPlay the screen will turn off but AirPlay continues. If you use the Netflix app the screen will not turn off and, of course, AirPlay continues.
    The best course with the NCAA app would appear to be to supply power to the iPad and set Autolock to never. Turn the iPad screen intensity down.

  • OneNote prevents my computer from going to sleep when I have a shared notebook open. Suggestions?

    Hello,
    The issue is that my computer will not go to sleep if I have OneNote opened with my shared notebook loaded.
    Background: I'm currently running Windows 8 Pro on a desktop machine with Office 2010 Home and Student installed. I log into the OS under my outlook.com internet account.  OneNote, which I always keep open, has my main
    notebook shared on my SkyDrive.
    Scenarios: The computer will go to sleep if I reboot the machine and do not open OneNote. The computer will go to sleep if I close my shared notebook, reboot the machine and open OneNote (with no notebooks open). The computer will go to sleep if I open
    OneNote with my shared notebook, close it, AND exit OneNote from the icon in the system tray.
    The scenarios I ran lead me to believe that OneNote is continuously polling my shared online notebook, thus preventing my computer from going to sleep. The is a regression from the behavior in Windows 7. Are there any configuration changes I can make to
    fix this?
    Thanks.

    Try modify the settings under:
    Control Panel --> Power Options --> Multimedia settings --> When sharing media to Allow the computer to sleep

  • Best MMORPG for Iphone 3G and a question about gps maps

    Hi there,
    Could anyone tell me what are the best free and paid iphone 3G MMORPG games? And please tell me some positive and negative things in the games.
    I didn't know where i could ask this so, i came here to apple forum, because i have subsribed to internet on iphone today. This topic doesn't have anything illegal.
    Another thing, does anyone knows if using gps maps through 3g internet, spends a lot of internet trafic? today i've used gps maps for about 12km and it spend me 80kb of trafic. Is this possible? because someone told me that iphone gps spend a lot, but really lot internet trafic. I didn't used sattelite view.

    The sattelite view uses far more data, of course - because of the photography it has to download. But the regular map is still a bitmapped image that has to be updated. It's not a massive amount of data, but not insignificant either.

  • I Am from Brasil and december last year i bought a non contract iphone in usa but it still locked, now apple is sending non contract unlocked iphone, next week i am going to usa and would like to know if it is possible to pay and unlock my iphone in usa

    I Am from Brasil and december last year i bought a non contract iphone in usa but it still locked, now apple is sending non contract unlocked iphone, next week i am going to usa and would like to know if it is possible to pay and unlock my iphone in usa

    A no-contract sales price does not mean unlocked.
    Apple is now selling an officially unlocked iPhone in the U.S. which has nothing whatsoever to do with AT&T unlocking iPhones. It is up to the carrier and the carrier only to officially unlock an iPhone that was sold as carrier locked with the carrier - in this case sold as carrier locked with AT&T. This may change one day, but at the present time AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason or under any circumstances.

  • UCCE v7.5 - Prevent Agent from going into Not-Ready on RONA

    Does any one know whther it is possible to prevent Agents using IP Phone Agent from going into Not-Ready once a call has been presented and the RONA timer has expired?
    My customer is fully aware of the implications of doing this. They are not using CAD or CTI-OS.
    Many thanks
    Freddie

    If you don't set the RNA timer in the agent desk settings, the agent will not be made not ready.
    Whoops: did not read carefully. You are using IP phone agent. Sorry, I don't know.
