    why the 5 minutes break?

    Hi all, I don’t know if this is a known matter and if there’s a solution.

    Normal procedure for locking keypad and unlocking:

    • I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
    • I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to be locked,
    • I press Unlock key (here it’s menu key) and * key (star key) then enter correct Security code 12345.
    • Phone is Unlocked.


    Nothing’s easy then this. But what if I type wrong codes for a few times just as a test:

    • I set "Security keyguard" and "Automatic keyguard" On to lock the phone,
    • I go to homescreen and wait 1 minute for it to lock,
    • I press unlock key and * key and enter random wrong codes for a few times (NOT 12345),
    • phone is still Locked due to wrong Security codes with message “Code error”. Good!
    • Now I press Unlock key and *key and this time I enter correct Security code 12345 then ok.
    • But Phone is still Locked with message “Code error”!!!! I retry entering correct Security code 12345 again with no luck.
    • what do I do? I waited 5 minutes and retried entering Security code 12345 again and OMG this time it’s Unlocked. Good.
    • to make sure of this, I repeated steps 1 to 7 and same matter.

    Why does the phone lock itself completely on me for 5 minutes that's after a few Erroneous security code test attempts (maybe 3 or 5) even if after this I directly enter correct Code 12345 but it's still locked??

    Is there any extra Security code in this case? how to let the phone accept the correct code before 5 minutes?

    Screen locks after 5 minutes - common solutions not helping

    Hello,

    I have tried modifying this number and it has made no difference if the number is larger than 5 minutes. If the number is smaller than 5 (e.g. if I set it for 1 minute) my computer WILL lock after the designated time. If the number is larger than 5 (e.g.
    15 minutes, my desired time) my computer returns to locking after 5 minutes.

    At this point, I feel it is rather likely that the problem is being caused by some third-party program. Is there any way to check if this is the case or otherwise diagnose which program?
