Auto lock longer than 5 mins?

[Board Room]

Hi,

I recently got my ip4 and loving most of it but...

Is there any way to get a longer auto lock than 5 mins?

I'd prefer 10, 15, 30 mins.

I use a 6 character alphanumeric passcode which is a real pain to have to keep putting in so often.

Dont want to set it it to never in case I forget to lock it then lose it!

Too much confidential info on it to risk leaving it unprotected.

Thanks for reading and thanks for any info.

Cheers

There should be, I keep mine at 4hrs inside the house and 10 minutes outside the house.

If its not there, reset the phone, should open up the options I believe I've read somewhere.

you can set it require a passcode differently to the autolock.

mine is set to autolock after 1 minute but only request passcode after 15minutes.

settings-->Auto-lock
settings-->Passcode Lock-->Require Passcode

Hi Guys

Thanks for replying.

I found that I dont have any options to change the duration for the passcode request. All it offers is "immediately".

IIRC using mail for exchange forces password lock to be on immediately. I think anyway!

If you use Exchange, they can set a policy that phones have to auto-lock after a certain amount of time and that they require you to enter a passcode every time. The phone must follow the policy to be compatible with the protocol.

If you have Gmail over Exchange, then it's set in there that auto-lock is after 1 minute and passcode is required right away. People have complained to Google and they said they'll look into it, but that was a while ago.

The only way to get around it is to remove all Exchange accounts or ask your work IT to change their Exchange policies (good luck with that!).
