Screen Lock and Sleep Questions

[bluwtr49]

As a novice to Android I'm trying to understand some of characteristics and in some cases how to change them.

On this phone, it seems that the display winks out fairly quickly than I need to push the button and swipe the screen to get back to what I was doing. It would be handy to eliminate at least one of those actions....no idea why both are needed.

On my old BB Storm all I had to do was touch the screen to wake it up. Any way to make the Maxx a bit more like this.

Both are necessary... and in some cases people actually use an unlock code to open it in addition to the swipe of the screen.

If you think it, as you say, "winks out" too quickly then change the timeout time.

I have my screen set to never timeout. Much less hassle for me.

No lock from the market gets rid of the swipe to unlock the screen.

No lock from the market gets rid of the swipe to unlock the screen.

Got it and it works perfect. I don't mind hitting the button but both seemed a bit overkill.

Thanks for the help.

There is also an app called Elixir which has a lock enable/disable toggle which lets you disable it when you're using it and enable it when you're not (like when it's in your pocket).

Also has a ton of other useful toggles.
