I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.
iPhone 4S
Settings > General > Auto-Lock > Never
That is not what I asked read more carefully. what you suggested leaves the screen on but I don't want the screen on I just want it to remain unlocked when I press the home button.
No, that's the way it's designed. It's intended to prevent accidentally activating the device screen.
Actually, nbar's answer is the only way to do what you want. Whether you like the answer or not. However, if you did such, you'd need to be plugged into a power source, or you'd be measuring your battery life in minutes.
I got the answer I wanted the 2nd time. it's not that I didn't like the answer it's just not what I asked for. was seeing if it was possible to leave the screen unlocked with out leaving the screen on which it seems it's not possible. I would suggest you refresh your posts before you start waving your hand at people.
In the future, I would suggest you quit giving an attitude to people who are voluntarily helping you with no obligation or incentive to do so. Regards.
I always try avoid folks like you, but made a mistake this time. You can count on the fact it won't happen again.
I think what diveman2045 MEANT to say was:
Gentlemen, thanks for your time and efforts in attempting to answer my (somewhat confusing) question.
Most sincerely,
Diveman2045...
(Sarcasm aside, diveman, you'll catch more flys with honey than vinegar... It's difficult to accurately communicate via emails and posts on boards like this, and even more difficult to accurately understand some posts... A little 'grace' might help in the future).
I apologize but was he not giving attitude to me as well? I just don't like it when they say things like whether you like the answers or not. cause that is giving a bit of attitude towards me. But I do apologize for my actions and it will not happen again in the future.
You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one. Wjosten's reply wasn't rude. It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating. You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen). It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer. It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.

This is a technical assistance forum, not an 'emotional assistance' forum. Wjosten was not rude or insulting in any way. You were.
This is where we tell you how to solve your technical issues. There are no shoulders to cry upon here.
Direct, accurate information. That's what wjosten provided.
my answer was resolved by that other guy on here. you don't have to give me big details. don't like my posts you can simply remove tham.
so wait , you cant lock the screen but not lock the screen... but its still locked tho?
^Them*
You mean the 'other guy' that told you: "No, that's the way it's designed. It's intended to prevent accidentally activating the device screen. "
The one that you marked as "This solved my question"?
Yeah, that was me. I'm glad I solved your question. However, nothing that wjosten said was 'rude'. He was direct and accurate. Perhaps he didn't 'sugarcoat' it, but that's totally different.
Yes I see now I took everything the wrong way. That's what you get when your house bound on days that are close to below 50 tempature lol I apologize greatly and thank you all for your effort in helping me. I'll try to be a bit more understanding in the future.
Good to hear. Have a great day!
is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?
