I didn't do this on my phone because I want Find My Device enabled and didn't want to screw something up but go to "Settings" --> "Security and lock screen" --> "Find My Device" and move the slider to "Off". That should disable it for you.

I do that but as soon as restart my phone or turn it on from being off, it just comes right back on. So everytime I restart my phone I got to turn it off.. reason why I turn it off is because when that's disabled 11 Google play services stops running in the background.. .When that's enabled if I go in the running services it says 12 running in the background as soon as I disable that there's only one running in the background.. and it prolongs my battery life a a significant amount..
I'm determined to find a way to just keep it turned off.. I definitely appreciate your advice though.?

Does anybody know how to disable AS when its not plugged in to the computer?!?! AS always run in the background and I think it waste alot of memory...Help Please!
on your phone or on your pc?
If its on the phone just go to settings/Task manager and turn it off. Or you can turn it off with XButton.
Or try Start>Settings>Personal>Phone>Time Zones & uncheck the box that says "Automatic change time zone and clock". For some strange reason that seems to stop it from popping up.
Hi there,
While I watch a movie on TV via multimedia dock, my atrix keeps locking up (at least three times per movie). When it happens, I unlock the screen and resume the movie which is very annoying.
Although I set up "Screen timeout" to "Never timeout", it keeps happening. Am I missing something here???
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Try the "screenon" widget in the market just to make sure on the timeout issue.
As for the lock screen itself, the ever popular "no lock" widget is free and gets rid of the annoying lock screen...

I tried that app and it never worked. What I found is that if I change the screen lock setting to "never timeout", the screen does not get locked as long as the phone is not on multimedia dock. Does anyone have this issue?
That's a strange one. Mine never used to lock when it was on the dock.
Is your dock plugged in so your atrix is charging? If not, maybe it's some power saving mode making it shut off?
Otherwise, maybe something in the ROM you're running.
Yeah, I know. It looks like nobody has this problem. Yes, the dock is plugged in and is being charged. I found "Stay awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)" option under Developement the other day. I will check that option and see if it resolves the problem. Right now, I have to get up every 30 minutes and move the mouse around on Webtop Mode window on my TV during a movie. This is very annoying.
I have Bell's stock rom: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA (2.3.4). My phone is unlcocked (on Rogers) and rooted.
in settings, you need to turn off the auto lock

I'm taking a wild guess and saying it's probably an app or something causing you grief. I've never heard of anyone else having this issue that anyone was able to replicate.
Maybe you want to look at your apps and see if you have any that might cause that kind of behaviour. Try removing them and see if it fixes your issue, if not, move on to the next app.
Or if you're really fed up, you can always try a factory reset and start from scratch.
I have the same problem on mine.
I think I found the problem. It has to do with the Security Lock and the Fingerprint scanner. Once fingerprints are entered the "Security Lock Timer" becomes disabled. Mine was set to 20 minutes. I reset it to "When display is off"
Settings->Location & Security
If "Security Lock Timer" is greyed out, you'll have to clear out your fingerprints and do the setup again.
->Change Screen Lock
Select None.
Select "Clear Stored Fingerprints"
Go back into "Change Screen Lock"
Select PIN and enter a pin.
It'll dump you back out to "Location & security"
Security lock timer should now be enabled.
Select "When display is off"
Go back into "Change screen lock" and set up your fingerprint scanner again.
See if that fixes the problem.
***EDIT*** Didn't work. Mine still engages a lock after about 20 minutes.
Setting screen lock to "None" didn't help either. Still times out in about 20 minutes (like a screensaver).
I found the solution!!!
The problem was the screen saver settings in WebTop mode. The other day, I saw a setting icon on WebTop mode and found that the screen saver was set to 30 minutes. I chaged it to 3 hours and now I can watch a movie without getting up every 30 minutes. Yeah!!!
Oh that's cool. I didn't know that.
Thanks
How do I resolve this? Am I creating a problem or?
The other day I used the side https://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/find and tried to give functions Lost your phone? We can find it for you! Everything was ok! After two days I checked again, but now we give to the picture (windows.jpg). Can someone send me where to look for the programs of something or I 'm screwed
I never booked marked it, just signed into my live.com account clicked on "Devices" from the top left when you hover the mouse over "Windows Live" and it should show up there. But this is what the site shows up to me as now:
https://devices.live.com/
Is it possible that when I check how it works ( ring, lock, or erase your phone ) that I messed something and now you can not use that option.
in order for this picture when I go to Change Windows Phone 7 setting of switch me to that previous file
Oops...
Something went wrong and we can not show you this page right now.
Go to windowsphone.com
Is it possible that I am something in the phone or in checks or something messed up...
Oh, right. You do have to enable it on your phone first.
Settings > Find My Phone
You also have to have a live (ie hotmail or msn) account on the phone.
But you also might need to re-add it on the live.devices.com. I know after I flashed it, it didn't recognize my phone so I just hit "add a phone" on the devices page. It sends a text to the phone and then you should be good.
Hey, after I installed Rataplan v6.0 and tried to activate "Find my phone" in settings > find my phone, it says "Re're still setting up Find My Phone. This will take another moment or two to finish. Come back later to make sure it's been set up, then visit windowsphone.com to use it." It's been saying this since I installed the ROM. What should I do?
EDIT: Found the solution
"Long back story:
Here's what I was previously experiencing:
In Settings, it would list find my phone and have the subtitle "Setup Needed." When I tapped this, it would take me to the find my phone options and immediately display a modal dialog that said it would take a few more minutes to set everything up. When I hit OK, it would back me out of the find my phone settings. This left me completely stuck and no amount of rebooting or fiddling seemed to fix it.
Just now, while I was grabbing another phone to take a picture of the dialog to post here, my phone went to sleep. When I woke it up, the dialog was dismissed and I was in the find my phone options. I checked the first option, Connect to these features faster (may use more battery). I then hit back and the subtitle under find my phone reported connected. I logged into windowsphone.com and my phone is now listed. I simultaneously also received an email from windowsphone.com welcoming me to my new phone. There must be a bug that results in that dialog being dismissed when the phone goes to sleep, and that bug allowed me to toggle the first option, which re-attempted connecting my phone to windowsphone.com.
Anyway, long story short, if you are stuck in this boat, try these steps to work around them:
Set your lock screen timeout to the shortest available duration (1 min?)
Go to settings and tap find my phone.
When the dialog pops up telling you to hold on, set your phone down and leave it be until the screen turns off and the phone goes to sleep.
Turn your phone back on. You should be in the find my phone options now.
Check the first setting, Connect to these features faster (may use more battery).
Back out and verify it says connected and login to windowsphone.com and verify your phone is listed." - found this on windowsphone site, posted by someone. Not my solution.
Hi,
I have 2 settings that keep turning off and I can't find what app does that. Maybe someone has experienced this before....
1. In "SOUND", the "Sound & Vibration" setting keeps being unchecked
2. In "DEVELOPPER OPTIONS", the "Stay Awake" settings being turning off also
I don't have any battery saver apps installed, so that's not that. I do not use the "Power Saving" feature either.
thnx
This is the fix you need

Funny..... but not helping!
Plus, they're like from the 80s so I doubt they know anything about smartphones
What Rom are you on? Any mods? My keep awake doesn't persist through a reboot either, but sounds and vibration does
see my signature.
Reboot is not the issue, it actually sticks after a reboot, it just goes off several times during the day after I turn it back on. Really annoying...... Some app must do it.....
Questions go in the QA section, not general
ok sorry, dunno how to move it there though
so, as the title says, under security settings and under "phone administrators" i turn off the "find my device" setting but when restart the phone or even without restart this setting enable by itself alone, i want it to be permanetly disabled but i dont know how...
even when factory reseting the phone, dirty flash stock kdz and so on, this cant be disabled permanently, since when restarting ther phone keeps enable this thing everytime.
i have running under google account settings in every place and cannot find nothing related to this to keep it disable, of course i almost have sure this is phone related setting and not google fault.
anyone having the same issue? how to permanently disable this?
thanks in advance!
I have the same issue, anyone has a fix?

I'm having the exact same issue with my Android phone.
