Nice job!!!

Will this work even if your Exchange settings say you can not set Never Auto Lock?

The new update it working perfectly, and using your initial timeout value. Just great!

A BIG THANK YOU so much for getting this working. And thank you to all the developers who worked together to help make this happen. You guys rock!! The iPhone is so much better for having you guys!! Keep up the great work!

hey bigboss,
i’m french so sorry for my bad english !

this comment to report some bugs on SB settings 1.0.7-5 on my iphone 3g yellowsnwed.
when i reboot my iphone, toggles are wrong activated or deactivated. i explain : the phone toggle is OFF whereas my carrier is OK, SSH is ON whereas SSH is OFF realy. I must click on phone and SSH toggle each twice to make normal.
Second bug : sometimes my carrier signal is “not available” whereas i’m in a big city. when i look to SBsettings, phone toggle switched OFF alone !!!!

i don’t know if you understand what i’m trying to say….

Best regards

is it possible to set it to more then 1 minute?

Hi bigboss,
I’m owner of a 1G, happy-fully jailbroked since I live in Spain!
I have always use BossPrefs with a few bugs, specially when turning on-off edge, but nothing very important.
I have just installed SbSettings and after playing for a while, I have lost all the regular Apple Dock icons (phone, safari, mail, ipod). Together with the BossPrefs I had also FiveIcon Dock. I have tried to remove Sbsettings, re-install BossPrefs, remove and re-install FiveIcon Dock…even restore all prefs from original Settings menu (the “Apple” one).
But nothing worked to me. All I can do is moving new icons to the dock…but I can’t see the ones listed above.
Any suggestion?
Many, many thanks!

+1 for VPN toggle

Great app!

did you hide them? or maybe you moved them to the dock in SBSetting?

Yea

Thank you So much for this!!! I have been waiting a long time for this!

Thanx!!!

Thank you so much, it works perfectly and is very useful. I really adore your creation.

Keep up the good work. iPhone RULES.

please make a toggle for gps/location service thanks

After install Autolock toggle I have one trouble.
I have 1 minute autolock. But now device autolock without any alert like darkening screen on 50th second. This is issue or bug?:)

Thanks.

Was made ages ago.

I also have this problem. I try to slide my finger along the status bar and nothing pops up? What am I doing wrong? Somebody please help!

BigBoss,

I have a 3G iphone on 2.2.1 firmware. With SBSettings installed and the autolock toggle installed. The problem I am having is that It never autolock anymore. Whether the toggle is green, or red; whether I have set a time for autolock in settings or set to “never”. The only time it does the autolock function is right after I reboot the unit. It will do the normal thing, which is go to the Springboard, then autolock itself. Any other instance, including being plugged in via USB, it never locks, unless I hit the power button. Everytime I unlock it, use it, when a txt message comes in, whatever reason, it never lock on its own again. I have to manually hit the power button. I have installed and removed extended preferences and supreme preferences before. Not sure if this would screw up the internal settings. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. I have already drained the phone a couple of time unintentionally because I forgot to lock it back up, or when a txt came in and woke it up. Please help!

Yep. That’s what it is.

I had this exact same problem last night. It has nothing to do with having to restore your phone, It’s definitly a problem with the Autolock toggle I can tell you that, It only happened after installed this toggle. After restarting the phone there is s small window of time which is thankfully just enough to toggle the autolock back off, if your fast enough to turn it back off then you can get your phone out of the continous lock screen loop. Otherwise you’ll be in lock screen slider hell forever to infinity until you finally restore and re-sync all your music,contacts,mail,photos,calendars & bookmarks… All because you tried out an autolock toggle!?! I figured out that the problem only occurs if you install this toggle when your iPhone’s initial Autolock Prefrences are set to “Never”. Otherwise I think everyhting works okay, but beware of this little bug, or you might get stuck in an Autolock Loop like I did.

I have the 23rd problem, any way to solve it? I don’t wanna lose all my cydia downloads.

Hey Maik
I had this exact same problem, Before you restore just try this again, it may take several attempts but it worked for me;

1. Reboot the phone by holding the power & home buttons down simultaneously.
2.After the phone shuts down and begins to reboot
keep continuosly sliding your finger across the bottom of the Boot screen as if there was an imaginary Slider (if you hear a click then you’ll get to the springboard early, this will give you a few extra seconds before the screen re-locks. just enough time to quickly open SBSettings and toggle the Autolock off)
3. If you do happen to hear the click sound of the slider unlocking, Immediately start sliding your finger across the VERY top of the screen as if there was an imaginary Status Bar, (this will help open SBSetting AS SOON AS POSSIBLE)
4.If you catch a glimpse of the Autolock toggle before the screen locks again then this IS possible. If you dont get it on the first attempt, try to remember where on the screen the Autolock toggle is located and then be ready to touch it the Instant it appears next time.

Good luck, Hope this helps

Same problem here. Is there a fix/know issue?

I have the same problem, it would be nice if you could fix it.
Thanks!

Bigboss, great work. Is there code available for this?

Is there a way to position docked icons in sbsettings ? I would like some icons to be at specific places, an currently order changes each time I add some plugin toggle.

Otherwise, great job!

Hey hi tony vrush here.
Dude even I faced the same issue with SB settings app.more sad part is tht I m not able to even c my Sb setting app on spring.at this point I m not able to do nything wit my Iphone.cud u plz suggest me why did u do to get back those original settings . Thanks a tonne

Sorry… the past post was about the perpetual autolock problem posted earlier.

Hi Bigboss,

I was wondering if there is a toggle that can force the iPhone into 3G mode like my old nokia???

My iPhone seems to favour a 5 bar 2G or edge signal over a perfectly adequate 2 bar 3G signal.

If I toggle edge in bossprefs to off I can still end up getting a 2G signal (o) and when I try to surf the Internet it says it cannot connect (even if it’s in 3G mode).

Can you help???

Apparently it is possible to to do this can you see if you can add this to SBSettings?

someone claims it can be done on howard forums (below).
Apparently it can be done (I am no programmer so do no know if he is lying etc…) if this is real, are you able to to produce a toggle in sbsettings for 3G only?
thanks for your help!

Taken from HowardForums:
“Never say never! I found a way to do this!
The below method will allow you to have the iPhone connect only on the UMTS bands. the iPhone will not see the none UMTS bands available.
This solves the problem of dropping to EDGE however be advised, that if your reception drops below -107dbm you will drop a call and get no service.
Usually cell phone are able to conduct a conversion at -112dbm but the iphone’s radio is limited.
In case the reception drops below -113dbm you will likely to get no service as it will not drop to EDGE.
Service will return as reception gets better.
Here is how to do this:
1) Jailbreak your phone
2) install SSH
3) login as root
4) go do /var/preferences/
5) open the file csidata
Inside csidata you will find the following line: GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0×1
The following values apply: 0×0(EDGE ONLY), 0×1(EDGE+3G), 0×2(3G ONLY).
6) Change to the desired value (0×2 in our case) and save the file
7) Reboot the phone. you are done.
Please note that if you use the 3G/EDGE toggle within the iPhone menu, BossPrefs or SBSettings, you will lose the setting you just made above as those toggles can only toggle between edge only and 3g/edge mix and will overwrite the ctidata file.
Side effects:
- Fring all of sudden started to work over 3G :) without me installing the VoipOver3G apps from cydia.
- Youtube vidoes are showing high quality videos streams now over 3G (same quality as wifi)
- The DSL reports speed test application reports “no internet connection found” after this change, but other speed test apps are working fine.
All my other installed applications are working just fine.
Please note that this will not improve your reception, it will just make the iPhone work in UMTS only mode and will disable the phones ability to fall back to EDGE.
Now if only someone could write an SBSettings toggle for this one it would be much easier to enable / disable it.

No, BigBoss has said multiple times that he:

1) Doesn’t have a VPN account. Someone could provide him one, but then the 2nd reason would still be holding him back, and that is:

2) He doesn’t even use VPN, so why would he want to use his time making a plugin he’s never even going to use?

Try going to a request forum and request it! ;)

Fixed!
I managed to read above comments now :)
method with sliding status bar works but slightly different, I tryied to unlock and slide status bar like a maniac, about sixhth try it worked and sbs settings menu was on and autolock disabled.

Hi Roch, thanks, I’ll try that… I have the exact same problem.

The solution of Mikaz didn’t work for me. But what did work was this:
1. boot up you ipod touch/iphone
2. when springboard apears quickly slide, you see sbsettings appear, but you won’t be fast enough to click on anything.
3. I waited for about 1 minute, don’t know it that’s necesarry.
4.then hold the lock button, as you do on shutdown, the shutdown slide will apear, and sbsettings is there as well, disable autolock, and you’re finished

don’t know if this works with everybody, it worked for me. I’m very happy now :)

If my english is bad, i’m dutch.

If you have the 0 second bug double tap home button on lock screen an start playing music. then unlock. it wont lock !! disable auto lock. and your iphone is back (:

Hi Mike – I had the same problem but I worked it out. You have to go into settings, and turn off 3g – this then adds the line, which you can then modify.
Cheers!
Josh

i had the auto lock prob to i tried all the methods above the only one to work was calling my self with voice command

I LOVE YOU MAN!

Hi i locked myself out with the autolock after sliding it loads of time that didn’t work for me,But i got it sorted without restoring I am running an iphone 3g on 3.0.1 with iTunes 9 as my player i decided to pull the iphone into iTunes and it started to have a hissie fit because it couldn’t get a connection but keeps trying to get the connection those slowing down the autolock you don’t even have to be quick it will just keep doing it for, It saved me a lot of time so thought i might share happy days ;)

Same autolock loop problem here, on 3.1.1 on an iPod touch 2g. Can’t call myself, so that method won’t work… None of the other suggestions worked, either. Gave up, and I’m in the middle of the restore right now. :(

Hi,

Just upgraded my Autolock toggle via Cydia (as it said there was a change), and it ended up inverted – e.g. green when autolock was ON and red when it was OFF (checked in Settings, and it was ‘Never’ when green and ’1 minute’ when red – i.e. the wrong way round). Can’t be sure, but I think perhaps it was set to OFF when I did the upgrade. Anyway, had to completely uninstall, respring, manually set to ’1 minute’ and reinstall the toggle. That seemed to fix it. Might help others if you get stuck. Perhaps the toggle needs to check when its being installed about the current state of a previous installation?

cheers,

Dave.

i installed sb settins autolock, but when i am trying to unlock it it wont work
how do i get it back to normal so i can unlock when i want

help i have the same problem with sbsettings. I cannon get to my springboard because i turned on auto lock and now when i slide my slider it locks as soon as i unlock. so what do i do?

I also got the same issue as the one mentioned by the few people above my post. When I turned Autolock back on, my phone got stuck on the lockscreen. After a billion slides, i managed to get SBsettings out and turned it off.

Will there be a fix for this? AutoLock is a handy toggle.

Thanks

Correction to above comment (56) was 3GS on firmware version 3.1.2 not 3.2.1.

I had the same autolock loop problem (iPhone 3G OS: 3.1.2) and the only solution from the ones posted above that worked for me was getting somebody to call me, I managed to answer the call and get access to the springboard by pressing the home button once. Then I navigate through setting/general/autolock and change the time setting from 1 to 2 minutes and back. Apparently that changes the time setting of SB Autolock ‘cus it got fixed right away. I hope this information may be helpful for others.

By the way it would be great if BigBoss could fix this MAJOR bug (or at least show up in the blog with some suggestions) because this toggle is very handy but I wouldn’t dare to install it again until I know for sure that the issue it’s being fixed.

(Sorry for my lousy English)

Agreed. That’s the one that worked for me also. thanks so much Brian Coss! I actually did restore my phone but the problem was still there even AFTER restoring! i.e. SBSetting is not even in the phone!

i got that 0 seconds lock bug too.
tried sliding lock bar and status bar at the same time (post 59), at the first time sbsettings appeared, but i was to slow to turn autolock off.
i tried it several times again but sbsettings didn’t appear.
the ipod method (post42) didn’t seem to work, either.
i got the facebook app on my itouch, so i tried to get a message on fb to activate the “push” window, no reaction.
nur then i double pushed home button du open the ipod player, pushed play and several times “next track” and slided and then sbsettings appeare and i could turn autolock off.

i think you just need to do lots of things at the same time, so the cpu isnt able to run the “lock” command as fast as you can open sbsettings.

Hi

I have installed SBSettings to use Autolock. I have an iPhone 4 4.0os. I have assigned the up down volume to activate autolock so the screen stays on, however each time i press the key combo it just keeps enabling it. how do I deactivate Autolock. I want my screen to stay on whilst listening to itunes in my car with it powered on.
Thanks Lee

BigBoss,

i have iphone 3gs 3.1.3 and already jailbroken,i turned off already the edge by using cydia/sbsettings and data toggle my question is how can i restore the edge if i want to activate it again? and how to do it ?

I have, by accident, set the only activation option to tapping the clock twice on the locked screen. My problem now is that I can’t change these settings because ‘more’ cannot open from the locked screen and I have app icons hidden that I would like to access again. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks

i put mine ipod 4th gen in dfu mode after powering off with sbsettings. It wont cam on even when I do the power + home tyn. Can u please help me out??? Tanx in advance.
