I cant turn this off anymore so the phone keep turning off. Whats up with that?

Thanks....JD

There is not an option anymore for "never". Only 1 thru 5 minutes. This bites. I don't want my phone to keep shutting down after 5 minutes. This better just be a bug. Why has nobody else brought this up?

well since you didn't understand let me re-phrase that. Mine looks just like the pic above but with the "never" option gone.

mine has the never option, but maybe they did this on some (?) to prevent jailbreak? Isn't setting auto-lock to never something that has to be done in order to jailbreak
 
Are you on exchange?

Some exchange admins require the phone to autolock with a passcode after a certain amount of time.
 
Well after fighting with Apple support for a few hours it looks like it is an exchange thing. When I removed my mail account, the "never" button returned. They said this is new in 3.0 and that our exchange admins have to configure something in activesync to get this button back. This sucks as this worked all the time in previous firmwares.

well that is interesting.... so since ALL i have is 1 minute, if i delete my exchange mail account they should all come back? but that's not gonna happen because i need that account... if you delete it and re-configure the account does the "never" option stay?
 
Yes, my IT dept. at work actually has an info sheet for us when we sign up internally for active sync (to get our work email from MS exchange) that says it's mandatory to have a lock time.

I noticed this a while back (pre 3.0) when I entered my work's exchange info.
