Turn off screen without locking

I just want the Ipod screen to go black automatically after some time, but I dont want it to lock at the same time. So to wake it up, I just want to touch the screen and not have to unslide the lock. Is there any setting to make this happen?

Well, this is getting interesting. The previous 2 responses describe different behavior for doing the same thing. While listening to music, and then the ipod auto locks, then double clicking home you get:
- the unlock bar at the bottom, but above, also music controls, that you can use, or
- some other controls that are somewhat transparent, hovering over the wallpaper, that you can use.
Well, I don't get either of those two! How can it be that 2 people are getting these different results, but i dont see either one?

  • How to turn off screen without passcode lock.

    I just upgraded my wife's iPad 2 from ios 6 to 7.  It used to be when you closed the ipad cover, it would turn off the screen right away.  I would still like it to turn off the screen right away when the cover is closed (so as not to waste batteries) yet NOT require a passcode when opened again (just a slide of the arrow like it used to be).  But right now, if I turn off the lock/unlock feature, and close the lid, the screen will remain full-on until the the auto-lock timer goes into effect - which will be never if I set it to "never".
    I don't want to argue about the merits of having a passcode, I concede all your points, so there is no reason to tell me how stupid I am for not wanting to use one - but I would like to be able to have the screen go off without requiring a passcode to turn it back on.  Is this now impossible?  At the least, it should turn off the screen immediately when the cover is closed, and wait to put it in passcode lock mode until the auto-lock timer expires.
    Is there any way to do this or is this just a case of Apple imposing this security feature our own good? Thanks.

    Wow.  That was a super-fast answer.  Thanks.  I had seen that optoin and foolishly hadn't tried it because I thought typing my passcode there was just another way to put it into passcode lockdown "immediately".  Well, I said I was stupid. Thanks, it does now work the way it used to and I can still have it require the passcode after a certain timeout period.

  • Stream 7 Can't Turn off screen without putting tablet into sleep mode

    Is there a way to switch the screen off without the tablet going into sleep mode?
    So that I can play music in the background?

    Hey @Crixxtachi ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing issues playing background music while the screen is off.
    The tablet will work just like a laptop or desktop and we need to look at some Windows settings for this. 
    The simplest solution is to access your power management settings, and set the display to go to sleep but not the computer, or at least increase the time before the PC actually enters sleep mode.
    I havn't had a chance to test a Windows tablet yet but I would assume that in the power management settings you should see something on the left hand side that says "Change what pressing the power buttons do." In here you may be able to set it to turn off the display.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • 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!

  • Lock Screen and Turn off Screen

    Is there any API to auto lock screen, turn off screen, but not turn off power?

    No, these API are not currently available. Here's the same topic:

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

  • IPhone 4 how do I turn off the rotation lock.

    How do you turn off the rotation lock.

    This typifies the difference between Cook and Jobs. Poor execution of a simple feature. Dumb and thoughtless. As cliche as it may be Apple isn't exceptional without Steve. Perhaps only Johnny Ives can deliver us something as great as Jobs. I laugh as my iphone starts to become irrelevant. ?

    How to turn off screen on Macbook Air when connected to Led monitor screen?

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • Turn-Off screen keeps coming up - maybe broken sleep button?

    hey there,
    i got my 3gs on saturday (t-mobile, germany) and it worked great for exactly one day. on sunday i noticed that the phone woke up from time to time showing the turn off screen, which usually appears if you hold down the sleep button for some seconds (red slider at the top).
    after that, the same screen popped up more often, it even interrupts other actions by appearing on top of applications like phone or mail.
    sometimes the phone will make a screenshot of the current screen if i push the home button, so it seems like the sleep key is stuck.
    the phone has no visible damages, the button looks normal and doesn't act jammed.
    all this happens unpredictably so i can't reproduce it, but its happens pretty often by now and is anoying as ****
    i tried restarting the phone, resetting the prefs, resetting everything, restoring in via itunes etc.
    guess is have to send it back, i just wanted to ask for more ideas and leave a mark for other affected users.
    regards
    jan

    Bad news. I got my 3GS Saturday (6/27) at the local Apple Store. By Sunday morning, I noticed the "random" power off slider. Sometimes, the sleep switch works, sometimes it doesn't. It's gotten progressively worse...after less than 72 hours of ownership. I have a case open with Apple and a Genius appointment in 2 days. In the meantime, I suggest you DO NOT power off your phone. Apple had me do a reset (for the 4th time) and the phone would power down DURING the boot. After 10 minutes..and pressing NOTHING, it suddenly started up and ran. The sleep switch is virtually dead. The Apple rep mentioned something about "cracked circuit boards", but did not elaborate. I suspect something in the assembly process is trashing the board the switch is attached to.

  • How do I turn off screen curtain on my iPad?

    How do I turn off screen curtain on my iPad?

    Turn off screen curtain
    If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device by pressing volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on.
    Try triple-tapping using three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain.
