Anybody having the similar issue?

restarted the phone. Still the same. Screen would not turn of automatically. I really don't want to to do the hard reset. I spend several hours setting up my apps, settings, logins, email etc.
Pressing the wake / sleep button and home button at the same time until the apple logo appears wont affect your phones settings or data.
I'm experiencing the same and found that if I have launched some apps and brought it back to Home and leave it unattended, the autolock would not work. If I just leave the phone in the apps, it will go to autolock as normal... Don't know it's a problem of iOS 6 or iPhone 5
I think this is a bug in iOS. I too have noticed it intermittently. I also use the Assistive touch.
Oh there we go. Assistive touch was causing the problem. I was using the assistive touch. Disabled it and the problem is gone. Oh man I hate pressing home button a thousand times everyday.
I have the opposite problem. I can be using my phone, and when I hit the home button, I have to enter my password again. I have it set to 5 minutes. It's a pain to constantly have to enter my password.

Never mind, I had the passcode lock set to immediately. I thought I was setting that when I set autolock to 5 mins.

I was also having the same problem with my Iphone 5. I was able to find a solution without disabling assistive touch, all you just need to do is turn off then turn on the mute option using the side mute button. Hope it works for you guys as it did for me.
Hi everyone,
I've had the same problem. My auto lock is set to 1 minute yet it does not lock itself. I have read the above suggestions and although I did not know what 'assistive touch' is I checked my setting to see if it was enabled or not. It wasn't enabled yet I still have problems with auto lock on my iPhone 5C.
Does any one have any other advice or suggestions? Please post and let me know!
