Hi, thanks for this, yes I did see a number of those options, but not
all. I am so glad for this tablit. What I want is for the screen to
never lock until I press the power button, and the setting on my
device wich controls that under display only give me up to 30 minits
to go. I did set the unit to just go to the home screen when unlock,
as I have difficulties with the slide unlock jesture.
