Pressing "power" does not cut it. Read my response which I believe to be wholly accurate given the scenario. A respring (which can be assigned to a single activator action) will do it. There are no alternatives, jailbroken or otherwise, to do this in a single step which I am aware of.

Perfectly put! Thank you lol. That's exactly what I'm aiming for.

As far as software capabilities go, could this not be achieved by encoding something that would (without user interaction) turn off the passcode lock and then immediately turn it back on and set it with the same password? I know doing this manually will reset the timeout on the passcode lock. As will manually changing the timeout to 0 (immediately) and then back again to 1 hour (or any non-zero amount). If Activator/SBSettings are capable of changing rotation, multitasking gesture, mute settings, and other mobile substrate stuff, could the passcode lock timeout be toggled (or rather quickly double toggled) in a similar coding manner? Or is it the passcode related portion that makes this setting off-limits to Activator/SBSettings control?

Or am I just talking about things way above my head? X.X
