iPhone 4 on 4.0.1 jailbroken

I have Auto-Lock set to 1 minute and tried to change to Never since I was going to use cyberduck and didn't want to keep waking up the phone.

Well the phone went to sleep after one minute and when I went into settings again to check it wouldn't load the page.

Had to respring the phone and setting was back to normal except Auto-Lock was set back to 1 minute.

I tried againg with same consequences.

BTW, i just updated to MobileSubstrate 0.9.3228-1

Can someone else check to see if they can change their Auto-lock time on their iPhone 4.

Thanks!
 
have you done a hard reset (hold power and home button untill the phone turns off, the turn phone back on)

Do you have a corporate MS Exchange account on your phone? Just one thing that can affect that setting.

i was thinking the same thing but when you have a corporate ms exchange/some school emails, it takes away the "never auto lock" option completely, as in its not listed. im thinking its a glitch because of the fact that the page didnt load at one point. yet again it could be a bug on ios4 that we dont know of yet
 
Thank you all for the quick replies.

It seems as though the hard reset fixed the issue.

Thanks again!

glad i could help, a hard reset is a good thing to try whenever your phone is acting funny/unusual
 
I've spend about an hour trying to figure out why I don't see the never option in the auto lock. I tried the hard reset and I was not lucky. I deleted my exchange email and I saw the "never" option again. I will have to install the exchange again and will have to deal with 5 minutes as my max..
