My iPhone 5 used to auto-lock

Since the upgrade to iOS 9.2.1 the Autolock has stopped working and I can not lock the phone.  I'm not completely sure that it starts immediately after the upgrade, but it worked and I not knowing not modified parameters. I tried:

  • Change the automatic locking at various different times including never and restart later
  • Reset all settings and restart
  • Ignition and extinction of Assistive Touch and restart

I have now run out of ideas can anyone help? Is there a manual way to lock the phone in case it gets into the wrong hands?

Any help much appreciated.

Try a force restart to see if it restores the lock. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it rises. You won't lose anything.

To lock manually what happens when you press the sleep button? Your phone crashes?

  • Search iPhone settings for "Auto-Lock" does not work

    Hello

    Does anyone know why the Auto-Lock setting is not to be found when you use the search at the top of the main settings page.

    From time to time, when I'm on a conference call, I like to set the auto-lock on 'Never', so I can leave the visible main phone screen to mute/one-mute the call without having to unlock the phone. I have the memory of a goldfish, so I do not remember that it is in the section "Viewing and brightness" and that is why I use the search at the top of the main settings page field. I would normally enter 'Auto', and it would be "Auto-Lock" for me.

    Since the release of iOS10, the la recherche search can't find this definition more although it still is in the section "viewing and brightness.

    The search for other settings seems to work, but it seems that it is just this one, but I have not actually tried too.

    Any ideas on what is happening and how I could get to find the Auto-Lock in the future?

    Thank you

    Seems to be a bug, so nothing you can do but remember where the parameter is and report the bug:

  • Use Schedule Auto dynamic locking

    Hello

    The configuration is the following:

    My client wants to run 4 devices of individual test on the same PC. Each test set-up will take place at least 4 parallel trials at the same time by using the parallel model. For now, let's assume it's the same sequence is performed in all the plugs and fixtures. That might change, but the same conditions of blocking will be present on the different sequences.

    What I need to do, it is in the stages of locking and resources, both internally in a fixture and through all meetings. This is where my problem lies.

    If I use an ordinary lock, then I can do this, all I do is keep track of this fixture is actually running the steps. I can lock on a parameter, say Parameter.Fixture. Or lock simply ignoring what is actually being run around the world.

    But if I try to use Auto planning then this won't work. IM know not everything as automatic functionality of calendar but it seems that if I use the same parameter, it hangs on the real parameter rather than the value of the parameter contains the. What I tried was to use a chart such as locking, the expression typically would be Locals.Locks [Parameter.Fixture]. But it does very well with performance that threw me an error-17502. I can't use the words double locking as which can allow a simple mounting to acquire both.

    The customer wants to use auto MRP to reduce test times. In general, there is a unique instrument used on all fixtures that would be considered as a unique resource, while some test steps can be run at the same time within a luminaire (radio tests that intereferes through taken).

    Anyone has an idea on how to create a dynamic locking expression that can accept step or I missed something fundamental to automatic planning stage?

    Note that you can get an effect similar to autoscheduling using locks with multiple threads (sequence calls have an option to run in a new thread). If each thread locks the resources he needs, he will be executed when the resource is available. Operations (threads) for a device can run in a different order than those of other share, based on the availability of resources, thus optimizing the flow. If you want to force operations can not overlap, for example for a specific device, you can have each thread locks the resources that it uses both the device he uses.

  • iOS 10 Auto-Lock does not.

    Hello

    I just updated my iPhone to iOS 10 6s and now the auto lock does not work, the display stays on, unless I lock it manually, and if I get a notification that locked the rest of the screen turned on, which depletes the battery quickly.

    I checked the settings under display & brightness (I put in 30 sec)

    I checked that assisted Touch is off under accessibility

    I rebooted my iPhone

    I have reset all settings

    If anyone else has encountered this problem, or have any other ideas how to solve?

    Thank you.

  • Auto-Lock does not not from the iOS10

    Hello!

    Since I've updated my iPad Pro 12.9 to iOS10, he'll never sleep. The locking/unlocking and auto-lock settings are the same as before the update. 5 minutes and the lock/unlock switch is on.

    I tried to restart, to set another period of sleep, to toggle the switch and nothing seems to work.

    Any solution?

    Thank you!

    Hi Borjazz!

    I see that Auto-Lock does not work on your iPad.  It is important to have automatic locking works, so I'm happy to offer assistance. First of all I recommend you stop the application settings by double clicking the Home button and it slide up. Then restart the iPad and test again. If the problem persists then the how to test to see if this is a hardware problem will be to back up your iPad and restore it to factory settings, without restoring your backup.  Here are the instructions on two processes:

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

  • do not auto-lock rotation

    II have just updated to iOS 9.2.1 and since then auto locking rotation disappeared from the bar down and been replaced by mute. The feature has been moved or has it been deleted all together?

    Your iPad has a switch that can be thought to lock the screen orientation or inhibition system sounds. If you go to settings > General > use side switch, you can select Rotation Lock or Mute.

  • How can I prevent my computer from auto lock?

    I think that my settings were part of a group security policy (laptop).  I have administrative rights on the laptop, and in the past, I have simply outweigh the policy setting "on RESUME, password screen" (or changed the deadline to 24 hours).

    However, this time it seems to be different.  I tried to change the registry settings, scoured the internet and I can't find a solution to the problem.  I edited each registry setting, I can think of to prevent this from happening, but it does not simply block a closure, after only 5 or 10 minutes (I've never actually timed).  I even tried to set the number of seconds in the registry, it's okay that I put, it hangs still after 5-10 minutes.

    Then I discovered that if I connect an external monitor, the computer will randomly not, after a period of time.  But as soon as the external display is disconnected, it crashes again after 5-10 minutes.

    Any help is greatly appreciated, it's extremely annoying.

  • Auto lock mode: how to disable?

    Great when you're on Walkabout with your laptop, when I'm at home, laptop plugged in, I don't want my laptop to keep coming back to a login screen every few minutes.

    I am on a Thinkpad E520 running Windows 64 bit professional.     Here's what I've tried so far without success:

    (1)--> control Panel--> Power Options I have everything "maximum performance" put and disabled the display standby timers.

    (2) control Panel--> Lenovo - camera-enhanced security--> I have disabled camera and timers recognition features.

    (3) Board of control--> Lenovo Power Manager--> I disabled all timers.

    Disabling the options in the control panel areas above doesn't seem to affect the automatic protection feature.    This automatic locking descent touch is driving me crazy at home, the only consolation is that the fingerprint reader makes it a little easier to get back in once the laptop goes down.    It's like a terrible screensaver you hate that cannot be disabled.

    How this auto-lock feature is turned off?   Ideally it should be a big button available in the toolbar you can push: walk - stop.   This way you can easily turn the timer on and off with a single action suites.

    But for the moment, I can't find anything in the control panel or from the taskbar which turns off this lock automatic descent touch.

    Where is he?

    I do not know... I uninstalled the function with all enterprise-level random stuff that was on the system that I don't use.
