I was trying to find out how to disable locking iphone while my app is running but I wasn´t succesful. Do you know if it is even possible? My app is reading values from some hardware in real time and it is really annoying when display is locking all the time. I am not talking about running app in the background... Thank you guys!

If my iPhone is stolen and the thief shut the phone down, I wouldn't be able to locate it anymore.  Is it possible to disable the possibility to shut down the phone when a passcode lock is set up?

Short of killing all notifications, is there a way to stop "Updates Available" notifications from showing up, for app and system updates?   I already have "Automatically keep my Mac up to date" unchecked in Sys Prefs > Software Update Everything in "Advanced..." there is unchecked App Store > Prefs > Automatic Updates is unchecked   To head off any frame challenges, yes, I do perform regular manual updates, but when it doesn't interrupt my work. No, I will not tolerate automatic updates, and it doesn't matter why.  Maybe I need a stable setup for development, video rendering, or I just don't like to be bothered with notifications about something that may require a restart, shutdown of critical apps, or any interruption to my work flow.

I was fooling around with iPhone 6 plus and found that when you place finger twice on finger scanner or rotate your finger on the scanner the currently running app or the menu views move down to half for the screen.     I'm not worried of this behavior but I am curious why such thing is happening.

As I was using an app on my iPhone, I accidentally hit the home button. I quickly reopened the app. But instead of it resuming where I left off, the app had to load all over again. (This was Clash of Clans and I was in a raid!)  Is there a way to keep an app open in the background?  Such a feature would also allow me to quickly check something and then return to the app that I was on.

I know there was a discussion previously BUT they didn't talk about security. E.g.: if I root my phone will all my apps run with root permission?  Related:

I "retired" my old iPhone 3GS when I got my shiny new iPhone 4 and I was happily using it as an iPod touch with camera and compass.  However, I made the mistake of throwing away the SIM inside the 3GS, because I wanted to permanently disable any phone functions, and make sure I didn't have to turn on airplane mode or anything silly like that.  Well, that seemingly worked fine until iTunes upgraded the 3GS to iOS 4.0.2. Now the sim-less iPhone 3GS is stuck at ...     No SIM card installed   Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate iPhone     What sucks is that I can't figure out any way to get around this!  Apparently, based on the (excellent)  the only way around it is to either   Jailbreak Get an AT&amp;T sim, somehow   I tried to Jailbreak but I was nowhere near smart enough to navigate the maze of twisty passages involved in jailbreaking this 3gs. iBoot too new? ipsw not recognized? ... what?  I feel like an idiot now because apparently an AT&amp;T sim is REQUIRED to make an iPhone work even if you have no intention of ever using it as a phone? Is that true? How can you get around this "No SIM card" issue?

I'm not sure if I have an issue or if what I am seeing is by Apple-design.  I have an iPad Pro (11.4) that I have the Personal Hotspot switched on.     My iPad Pro is active and screen on. I connect my iPhoneX (11.4) to the iPad Hotspot. Everything works fine.  I sat working on laptop and then the iPhone X and iPad screen locked.  After X minutes I then unlock iPhone to check email etc..  The iPhone X has disconnected from the hotspot and is back to using the cellular plan on my iPhone.  If I go to Settings -> Wi-Fi then my iPad is not listed.  To make the hotspot reconnect I have to go back to my iPad and toggle the Personal HotSpot switch (On -> Off -> On).   Is this by design or not?  Should the iPhone remain connected if the devices screen lock?

My iPhone 4 is in VoiceOver mode. It`s currently locked and not accepting my passcode which is absolutely correct. And now it's saying iPhone is disabled.  Any solution?

I recently tried to sync my iOS device, but I got a message similar to this one:    I tried googling around, and people generally recommended to disable syncing photos to fix this, but in my case syncing photos was already off.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

The screen lock is not working, it does not lock the screen (no password required).  I would like it to prompt for a password every time the screen locks (clock screen).  All instructions tells me to enable this in privacy but I can not enable or disable as it's grey (gray).  Ubuntu 17.10 upgraded from Ubuntu 17.04, upgraded from Ubuntu 16.10.    Any help or advise would be great as I already tried many setting and installs and removes suggested on online.

I've noticed that apps (such as Google Contacts Sync) that have been disabled using the stock Android (KitKat) app manager still show up as running when using process observer tools.  This is true even after the device has been rebooted.  Why are disabled apps still running?  Is there an effective (and safe) way to actually disable them?  Solutions requiring root privileges are acceptable.   (Note that for the specific example above, you can tell Android not to sync your contacts, but it still runs the Google Contacts Sync process.  But let's not dwell on that example... it's just an example.)

I recently got an iPhone 4. At home, it connected to our wifi and worked perfectly. Now I am at school. My iPhone is now connected to the wifi here, it says that it is connected and has strong wifi signal. However apps that require internet like email, Facebook app, and online games (like words with friends, etc) load and stall showing "updating". All apps are unable to actually update. It shows it is loading for forever.   What can I do to fix this?

On Android phones, there are apps (not native functionality) to make the phone silent for the next N minutes starting right now. This is different than setting specific times of day like Do Not Disturb does.  The functionality I'm used to takes one of two forms:   An icon you click that then asks "how long should the silence last" Or, automatically detect that I turned off the sound to zero (via volume rockers or otherwise); and asks the same thing. However, I'm not dogmatic, if iPhone has some other approach to solve this problem I'm open to exploring it.   Is something like this available on iPhone? (6, OS version 10 if it matters).  I prefer native functionality if it exists. Otherwise, an App store app is OK as long as it's free (as in gratis) doesn't require jailbreaking and works on iPhone 6.  Extra plus if it supports both modes described above (trigger with the icon or with setting volume to zero); as well as supposed 100% silence or vibrate-only mode.

My phone was stolen last night. I made sure it was in Lost Mode in iCloud and it was immediately in Offline status when I open iCloud. I am positive the thief switched it off. Now I am 100% certain the Find my iPhone option was turned on on my iPhone, but will the "Lost Mode" be of any help if it was not turned on on the iPhone? Would it be showing "Offline" if I did not turn on the option?

I have an iPhone 6, and recently I've found out that if you put your finger on the thing next to the front camera, the display will turn black. but I can't find a setting to turn it off. Anyone know where it is? Or if I can? This isn't just calls it's anytime.

How to remove the camera button on the iPhone lock screen without removing the camera from the springboard  I don't want to allow people without access to take pictures using my phone (pictures are shared automatically by iCloud) But in the same time, I want to be able to use the camera from the springboard.  I'm searching for a native solution under iOS 8.x or later
