Screen Locking During Screen Share Access

When I access my iMac from another Mac using Screen Sharing my iMac system is then open for anyone walking by to access. Is there any way to use Screen Sharing for access and keeping the physical screen on the system being accessed locked? I know there are ways to do this using a third-party VNC, but that requres using a non-standard port for access. Is there some working-around for Screen Sharing, or perhaps some way to change the port that Screen Sharing is using (and if so, does this work?)???

I don't understand what you're asking here... about the screen locking during a call "over the time" set.
Could you please explain?

Screen lock during answer

How do I make my Thunderbolt screen stay locked during an incoming call? It's very difficult to retrieve the phone without touching the screen and accidentally rejecting the call. Same problem with calendar and clock alerts. Is there any way to change this?

you may want to consider using a lockscreen widget. something like THIS. i haven't used it, but i believe you can use it to set the lockscreen to a different type a access (as opposed to the very simple swype that answers calls). i too had this issue when pulling the phone out of my pocket. i often answered the call before even getting the phone out.

E7-00 screen lock during call

Hey
I have an annoying problem with my phone: the screen lock doesn't seem to work properly during calls. The lock goes off during calls, and very often the call is accidentally put on hold, ended, or put on speaker because of unwanted touch events.
Is there a fix or workaround for this issue?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never had that issue. It seems a buggy prox sensor.
Try installing PocketLock ( http://store.ovi.com/content/35377 ) (free) and then run it and back to homescreen. Try your finger near the E7 logo. My device locks when the finger is about 1cm far from the screen.

IOS 4.3 - screen locked during incoming call

Hello, all!
I have interresting problem after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 4. Sometimes (1 time per each 10-20 times) when incoming call is received, ipone playing the ringtone, vibration is generated and I see on display usually information "incoming call from..." and slide button to receive call - then touch screen of iPhone becomes fully locked and I can not receive the call ! Hardware pushbuttons (power and volume control) still working, but display is fully locked! In this case it is only one way to answer the call - using bluetooth headset. Any other way and any other operations have no any effect - iPhone still playing rington and still waiting when I answer the call.
This situation occurs aproximately on every 10th or 20th incoming call - i.e. one or two times per each day. And, of cource, this is usually very important call that i can not answer because of this stupid situation.
The problem was detected after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 via iTunes.
So, please tell by wich way it is possible to fix this bug and where I have to send notification to solve this problem in the shortest time?
Thanks!

I'm experiencing what is I believe to be the same issue with my iPhone 4, and have been suffering in silence for about a week.
iPhone 4 model MC603X with Modem Firmware 04.10.01, 16Gb, cheap silicone cover, Vodafone NZ as my carrier.
My screen locks after 1 minute of inactivity as it should with my settings. Perhaps 1 call in 5, or 1 call in 10, the screen wakes up and displays called ID information etc correctly, but I cannot swipe to answer the call. The touch screen simply fails to respond.
If I push the power button briefly to silence the ringtone, this does not make a difference. The iPhone has to be locked (and screen turned off), then push a hardware button to wake up the display, and then I can swipe to unlock the device.
This is only since iOS 4.3 and unfortunately iOS 4.3.1 has not changed this behaviour.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers, Mike

How do i get my ipod 5 unlock? i cant get past the home screen lock (home screen lock is what i need unlocked) plz help

how do i get my ipod 5 unlocked from the homescreen? plz help

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

Screen lock means SCREEN LOCK!!!

Please please can apple change the software to allow screen lock to work!!! I am a tradesman and need my phone on me at all times, I keep it in my pocket and the really really dumb feature called voice control keeps dialling random people... Apparently this cannot be disabled!!! If this is not changed In the next software upgrade I am switching to Samsung like so many of my colleagues... Apple has gone downhill since the iphone 5, and in my eyes is not keeping up with consumers needs!

Settings > General > Siri = "Off"
Incorrect: Disabling Siri enables Voice Control (the original internal voice command feature of iOS). With Siri disabled, there is no way to disable voice dialing from the lock screen by pressing the home button. You have the choice of Siri or Voice Control, but there is no way to completely disable voice commands in the iOS. Try it.

Screen lock during call

I'm sorry if this has aleady been dealt with but couldn't find anything on it.
Is there ANY way of getting the screen to lock when on a call as I'm constantly putting people on hold, mute and even dialing other numbers when on a call as my face touches the screen? I'm sure it can't just be me and my big face?!

do you have a case on the phone? If so, take it off and try using the phone.

Screen Locked with box "Cannot Access Find My Friends"

This has never happened...when I try to go on my iPad there is a box that says "cannot access find my friends" with 2 buttons "later" or "open". When I select either of those nothing happens. I have tried shutting down and it won't let me select to power down. I have asked Siri all sorts of questions and commands which she answers and follows. When I ask her to go to the find my friends app it displays a white screen. I never even use this app. Here is a pic of what it looks like.

Try a device reset:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
Afterwards, enter multitasking and close off the Find My Friends app as it may be running and throwing this message. It appears you are likely on iOS 6.x so I'll include the procedure to close off the app for that iOS as it's different than iOS 7 and above:
Double-tap Home, press and hold one of the running app's icons (in your case, Find My Friends) until it wiggles, press the red - on the icon to close the app. Do this for all of the apps you want closed.
Note that a similar pop-up message stating something like "This iPad had not been backed up for xxx amount of time" has also been know to appear with similar symptoms as this message. The only way to clear the message is with a device reset as mentioned above. Apple needs to address (at least) this "no backed up" message issue as it can prevent one from using their device unless they know of the reset.

N8: question about screen lock during calling

I really like my N8 but there's annoying thing. While I'm calling, in the most cases the screen turns on and with my face I press the buttons on it. So I always end my calls unwantedly or turn on the speakers...
Is there any solution for that? I've not found any settings or software for that yet.

Sounds like the proximity sensor is faulty on your phone. You should have it checked out at your local Nokia Care point.
You can find your nearest Nokia Care Point at:

DX650 - Disable Screen Lock

How can I disable the screen lock on the DX650 phone (CUCM 10.5)?
Users don't want to have to enter a PIN number to access the phone.
I have tried different settings of "Require Screen Lock" on the Device page, but no luck.
Thanks, Randy

On the device settings do the following changes:
Display On Time: Change it to your office starting time or a bit earlier
Display On Duration: Change it to the end time of your office or a bit extra
Require Screen Lock : Change it to User Controlled>Check the Override Common Settings
Uncheck the setting: Enforce Screen Lock During Display-On TIme >Check the Override Common Settings
Restart the phone.
Now in the setting of the Android OS you will get an option to make it None. Also you can set a pin and then do a manual lock as required by pressing the lock button on the phone,

Trouble with amazon and screen locking the app with voiceover

Hey,
This is really bugging me, when I want to listen to a book in my amazon kindle app. I can't seem to screen lock my ipod touch, so that I can put it in a pocket or something instead of carrying it around, does anyone know how to screen lock or screen curtain the screen, so that it doesn't go weird. Thanks for your time.

Yes, I agree with this 100% - when listening, I can be doing other things, not looking at the screen. I figure 100% of the people using kindle portable devices are in agreement. My iPhone has a cover, but now I have bought yet a second case to put the first case in so that it covers the screen. But this is certainly not the optimum solution.

Xfce4: Problems with Sound and Screen Locking on ASUS G53S

Hello everyone,
I recently installed Arch for the first time, and decided to use xfce4 for my desktop environment. Everything seems to work well after I followed the instructions given in the wiki, except for the sound and screen-locking functionality. Regarding the sound, I made sure that my user account is added to the audio group, and installed the gstreamer1.0-base-plugins and gstreamer1.0-good-plugins packages. The xfce4-mixer applet starts up without any warnings and recognizes the available devices, but I am still not able to hear any sound. The "Lock Screen" applet simply does nothing upon being clicked. Do you have any ideas as to what I should try in order to fix these problems?
Thank you very much!

To be able to lock the screen you have to install and configure a screen locker or screen saver, e.g. xscreensaver, slock, i3lock, maybe combined with xautolock. When you use a screen locker and not xscreensaver, XFCE might not recognize it. Then create a symlink in /usr/local/bin/xflock4 or use a shellscript if you need to pass parameters.
My configuration: xautolock with i3lock. /usr/local/bin/xflock4 is this executable shellscript:
#!/bin/sh
xautolock -locknow
xautolock is started in the XFCE autostart with this commandline: xautolock -locker 'i3lock -d -i ~/Bilder/arch/arch-linux-lock.png'
PS: If you like i3lock and need user switching capabilities, I can give you a patch where Ctrl-S calls a custom command (gdmflexiserver by default)

VNC and screen locking on mountain lion

I'm thinking of upgrading to mountain lion. Does anyone know if the builtin vnc protocall in 10.8 can enable the screen on the controlled mac to be locked/blanked. Ex: I control mac b from mac a. The screen on mac b is blanked or locked so passersby cannot see what i am doing. This was not possible in previous versions of the Mac OS. Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Accessing phone with a screen lock

How do you access a phone that has a screen lock on it?

You'd need to know the PIN/pattern/passcode or else reset it via Android Device Manager (assuming the phone was set up with it).
