Screen Timeout vs Screen Lock

It would be nice to be able to have separate settings for the screen timeout vs when the screen locks.  Currently, when the screen turns off it is automatically locked.
Are there any plans to separate these 2 functions?  
For example, I would like to be able to have the screen go off after 30 or 60 seconds and be able to bring it back just by touching it but have the screen lock after a few minutes of inactivity.  I believe this was the case on previous phones.
Thanks,
Rob.

Rib, just touch the top edge power key to being the device out of sleep state in one touch. Without having to enter the security password.

  • E7 Screen/Timeout lock exceptions

    I have a Nokia E7 (I love it)  one thing I have noticed is that when I am playing games that use accelerometer controls (and hence no touching the screen) The Display/Screen/keylock is actived.  Is there a way to create an exceptions list in the settings so that when certain programs are running (games and maps) then the screen time outs do not apply?
    I use to use a program called Mr Lock for my E71 which did this,  but I was hoping that it would be built into S^3 by default.  If not then I guess the answer to my own question is set the screen/lock time out to 30 minutes and then let Mr lock do the rest.

    Thanks, but i guess I need to clarify... The instructions above sets the timeout and automatically locks the phone once that time is reached. Other phones differentiate between the 2. I'm guessing there is no way to have this phone timeout without locking altogether. With my previous phone I could have the screen timeout at 15 seconds and lock at 2 minutes. So at anytime < 2 minutes but > 15 seconds, I could touch my phone to turn the screen on  to use  without having to enter a password. Anytime after 2 mins the phone would be completely locked. It may seem a like a small difference but this was a very useful configuration. Let me know if I can replicate this activity or if there is a setting I've over-looked with the Droid Charge.
    Thanks,

  • Lock Screen Timeout not working since upgrade to 10.2?

    I have always had by Lock Screen Timeout set to 3 mins but since 10.2 upgrade it now appears to be hardcoded to what seems to be about 15 to 30 minutes. Anyone else having this problem?
    This is a bit of security problem if you rely upon screen lock to secure your personal data from unauthorised access. If I put the phone down I want to be assured that it will lock out quite quickly.
    I suspect that the problem is caused by Lock Screen Notifications so I have switched that off for now to see if it helps. I allow Gestures when locked to unlock the screen. Tend to use the power button to lock. Use gesture to unlock.

     Try a reset: when powered on hold down the power button for 10 seconds.
    You can restore your phone to factory settings if you wish to see if it corrects your issue. Resetting to factory settings will wipe out all your data so you should save it first. To save all your stuff download and install BlackBerry Link on your computer from the link below. Resetting will not back-up the OS on your phone. Once you have downloaded and installed BlackBerry Link connect your phone to your computer and save your stuff. Once saved disconnect your phone from the computer.
    To reset your phone: tap the Settings App, scroll down and tap Security and Privacy, tap Security Wipe, tap the blank box and enter blackberry.
    Once Wiped reconnect your phone to your computer and install your stuff.

  • Lock screen timeout issue after Lollipop upgrade - Galaxy S5

    I have the S5, and a couple days before installing the Lollipop update I changed my screen timeout to 30 mins because I didn't want my screen to turn off while looking at pictures for long periods of time. I didn't end up changing the timeout back before the update, so after installing Lollipop, it applied the 30 min timeout to my lock screen and I am unable to change it to a lower setting. I've tried changing the timeout settings under display and all sorts of variations of settings in the phone, and it works when I am actually past the lock screen, but lock screen still doesn't turn off until 30 mins passes.
    The main problem with this is when my phone gets notifications in the middle of the night, the phone stays on for the full 30 mins and drains my battery if it isn't plugged in. Is anyone else having this issue? I haven't tried reverting back to Kit Kat to see if I can fix the issue, but I was just curious if there was another way to get around it before going through all of that. It would be really helpful if they would just add a timeout feature specifically for the lock screen so that I could adjust it there...

    This has been reported on some other blog sites I recall seeing and the quick fix was to disable your lock screen.

  • G5 Dual 2.5 gets to grey apple screen... then locks !

    power supply is good, running through a APC power backup. power button & light come on. video comes on. everything is disconnected except for original keyboard & mouse & monitor.
    it gets to the grey apple start up screen... then LOCKS. the little spinning 'flower' never shows up. then the fans slowly increase.
    i have to hold down the power button for 5 seconds to shut-down. i've tried keyboard startup tricks, but the power to the keyboard & mouse seem to get CUT... i can't even boot from a CD.
    going to try to replace the lithium battery first.
    any other suggestions ??

    You may be able to open the drive and boot from the system disc if you hold down the mouse button on restart. If this doesn't work, slide down the silver optical drive gate and insert a strong, straightened paper clip in the emergency eject hole shown in Figure 3 here (you don't have to remove the drive)(it is a mechanical release, so you will have to slide the tray out by hand)

  • Prevent screen timeout in Flash 10.1 for Android

    Is there a way (in AS3 or the HTML container) to prevent the phone's screen from turning off while playing a game in Flash?  I'm working on some game prototypes for Flash Player 10.1 on Android 2.2, and it seems that as long as I'm touching / clicking the screen it doesn't time out, but if I haven't clicked for a while or if I'm making something controlled mainly by the accelerometer, the phone's standard timeout for the screen kicks in.
    Apps developed to run on Android have a way of preventing the screen's timeout from kicking in for accelerometer-based games, though I haven't found a way to do this for an in-the-browser Flash game.  At the moment designing something for the accelerometer is pointless, since without touch interaction the screen's going to turn off in 30 seconds or however the user's screen timeout is set.

    On a similar note, how do you prevent XMLSocket timeout, when the screen saver turns on? Our application preriodically sends keep-alive messages to the server, but apparently when Android screen saver turns on, the Flash stops running even when the  browser with embedded app is up, and the socket connection times out, so the user does not get new notifications...

  • Can't update from 10.0.0 to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up

    Can't update to 10.2.8 as screen freezes and computer locks up when using Pref/view/update/10.2.8 100 meg combo update. I have to wipe disk and reinstall 10.2.0
    I can't find a stand alone combo that works with 10.2.0 - indeed I can not find any update for 10.2.0. I do find discussions of the 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 updates, and once one has 10.2.2 there is a combo to get to 10.2.8.
    What is the solution - by the way I like 10.2.0 better than prior 9.2.2, and do not mind having to wipe disk and lose 9.2.2. But my wavelan 16 bit wireless PCMIA card, indeed any airport card, no longer is recognized. Indeed I can't find Airport. This is a 10 year old computer and files/docs etc are long gone (but life was good until I decided to move to X this month). How do I correct this lack of wireless (it does connect directly to my Ethernet line so getting on the web is no problem)?

    Hello papau. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You could try the 10.2.6 combo as that will install on 10.2
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70174
    and then 10.2.8 which requires 10.2.6 can be downloaded here.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate_.html
    Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, found in Applications/Utilities/ before you start and once again when you finish.
    During the installation process, just wait till the system completes things and not use any other applications until the update is finished.

  • HT2907 How do you stop inadvertent contact with the touch screen? Why no Lock Button?  Doesn't anyone work out at Apple??  MY Gen 7 also doesn't link to workout equipment automatically like my Gen 6 and I can't stop the bloody voiceover.  Any thoughts?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone screen blacked out! Lock Button Broken!

    Doesnt show anything but siri works, and makes noise. There has been a similar thread and the solution was to restart the phone by holding down the lock and home button at the same time but my lock button doesnt work !! PLEASE HELP ASAP!

    did you tap the Home Button (Middle circle) to turn it on, then go to settings>accessibility>Assistive Touch>Turn it on (Top one)
    Now there should be a circle in a square, tap it and you get more options, such as for you: Tap the Circle>Device>Lock Screen and your screen will be off.
