Since the iOS 6 jailbreak I have been using Sleep To Lock because it most emulates the function of the device I came over to iPhone from (HTC Touch Pro).
Unfortunately, around iOS 8 the tweak stopped working and it has not been updated in a very long time. I have found nothing to replace it and an activator action to wake the screen after locking is kind of a poor substitute.
This past week however saw a jailbreak for 9.2 and above. That of course saw new updates in a lot of my tweaks, but for purposes of this thread, namely Activator.
A few other updates however, broke Activator for me. It sill functioned, but I was unable to open the app itself. The 1.99 update did not fix this.
However, I did start noticing that once I locked my screen using my Activator action (Home button, click once) it did NOT shut off!
This morning there was another Activator update, which I installed (yay!!!). This fixed things and I can now open the Activator app which makes me very happy because now I can control my actions again.
However, whatever bug got introduced (or fixed?) is still keeping my screen on when I lock my device.
Which is EXACTLY what I want! EXACTLY the reason I always installed Sleep To Lock.
So, whether it's a bug, or a feature that got fixed or a holdover from past jailbreaks, I don't care. It's working and I now have by default the function I would have installed Sleep To Lock for.
Very happy over that. Just going to take some getting used to again.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else out there is experiencing the same thing if they use Activator to lock their device. If not, it means probably a holdover.
