Question

ios7 lock code

I just upgraded to IOS7 without any issues. I was supprised that it did not take longer actually. I'm only having one issue. I want to put a lock code on the phone. I can go to Settings->General->Passcode Lock and enter a passcode, but when I lock the phone, I do not have to enter a code for it to unlock. If I set the auto-lock to one minute, the phone will lock and ask for the passcode when I unlock it, but only if I wait for one minute. I must be missing something simple.

iPhone 4, iOS 7

There are two settings for passcode lock

1. Auto-lock: This just tells the phone when to lock the phone when left alone (ie. 1 minute)

2. Passcode Lock: This tells the phone when to prompt for a passcode when awakended.

Set Passcode Lock = Immediate and it will always prompt after going to a lock screen, manually or 1 minute automatically

Ok.. I have 2 iPhone 5 devices (not the newer S or C versions)... and one has the "never" option under auto lock - which is what I want...BUT.... the other only has up to 5 mins? NEVER is not in the list??

The obvious is a restore - but am I over looking something?

I had read this thread and there is nothing in here that seems to address why one phone has the NEVER option in the list... while the other does not.

Thoughts..?

Ok.. so turns out that the new company that I work for has a security setting that limits the amount of time the iPhone can remain idle and open and that is 5 mins of course. "Never" option is not there when I have that exchange account on my pohone.

Frig. What a pain. At least it is not the phone.
