The Auto-lock function does work when I put the Assistive Touch on. Is this a bug of IOS 6? Does anybody here have the same problem?

I also have same problem with auto-lock. Someone complain about this problem in other topics as well. 😟

I hope Apple will fix it soon 😟

Same here

iP4s, AssistiveTouch ON and problem with AutoLock

After restart iPhone, problem does exist. But after turn on-off WiFi it happend

After turn off Assistive Touch - Auto-lock works fine

It looks like a software bug

So, the solution is turn AssistiveTOuch OFF 😁 . iOS6 ***** 😟

.... or lock screen manualy by Assistive Touch 🙂

This is not normal for iOS6 because my iPAD2 with iOS6 works fine (even with Assistive Touch)

Yeah, i can confirm about this bug. I already reset the settings for a few times... Based on my observation, the problem mostly persist when my phone is on idle at Home screen...

Same here,
iPhone 4s with Assistive touch on, Auto Lock Screen bug occured..

In my case the same

Only on Idle at the Home Screen Auto-lock does work

AFter carrefully check - problem on the iPad occurs as on the iPhone4S

I'm seeing the same thing with my iPhone 4 (not the S). I commented in the other topic here:

Until apple comes out with a fix, I have to turn touch assist off in order for the phone to auto lock per my 1 min setting.

It happens on my iphone 5 but not on my updated 4s from 5.1 to IOS 6

There is a workaround. See the related topic here:

I'll repost the workaround here as well:

I've been testing this for the last 30 minutes or so and found that if the AssistiveTouch panel is the *last thing pressed*, even if it's just to return the panel to it's minimized size, the screen will *not* AutoLock.

To get AutoLock to function normally, something other than the AssitiveTouch panel needs to be pressed. This can be a simple screen swipe.

Because of the additional motion (screen swipe or otherwise) required to get the screen to AutoLock correctly and not stay on indefinitely, I really doubt this is "by design". Seems like a nasty bug that will bite someone hard and kill their battery without them knowing it.

Also, PLEASE report this issue to Apple. Without users reporting it, It may get buried and take much longer to get resolved.

the problem is definetly related with Assistive Touch.

here is the only solution I found: after you closed an app using assistive touch home button, just touch some arbitrary place on the home screen. you may try flipping the page or just touch and move slighly, but don't run another app, just touch somewhere on the screen. then you will see that the auto lock will work (even though you have apps in multitask bar).

i guess when you use the assistive touch home button, it got stuck somehow.

I tried to report this bug to apple but it says I have to be a registered developer. Can someone who is a registered developer help to report this bug? Thanks

I thought it was just me, but yes it doesnt work well with the assistive touch enabled.

I used someone elses tip, and swipe a page after using the home button on the assistant to return to the main screen. It seems to work well when i do that. however if i touch the home button on the assistive touch, and dont do anything after, it never goes to sleep.

i have an iphone 5, and it seems most versions have this issue. IOS6 bug IMO.
