Google Apps Auto-Lock with iOS 4 Upgrade

Since I've upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4, I've been trying to see if it's acting better, the same, or worse than before. I have to say that the Mail app and syncing to GMail with Exchange did not work well at all yesterday. Messages weren't getting to my upgraded phone, and for several hours I wondered if it was going to be broken until we got iOS 4.0.1. It was bad.

Then the camera app wasn't working really well last night, and I was convinced that this wasn't all that great an update for the 3GS hardware. But I'm coming around this morning. I power-cycled the phone, and things are a little better. The camera is better, and email is OK. But there's a wrinkle - the upgrade allowed Google to set the "auto-lock" on my phone to: "1 Minute".

Not good. I just needed to go into Settings, then General, then change it, but by default, it's going to auto-lock your phone. It's simple to fix, but if you didn't know, it could really fluster you. Glad I read about this. I'll know what to do when upgrading Liza's phone.
