To avoid unintentional activation of touch controls, the automatic keylock cannot be disabled.

To disable the numeric security code see p.15 of the manual:

To set how your phone uses the access codes and security settings, select settings > security.

Surely you set the PIN if it's your phone?

The pin is auto set,i am getting sick of putting the code in to unlock it everytime i want to use it.

When i click on security and pin to try and turn it off it says UPIN not supported.

What's 'UPIN'?

I think PIN is a 4-digit code that protects the sim-card and has to be entered only once when you switch the phone on. If you enter it incorrectly 3 times the sim gets locked and you need to contact your provider for PUK (?) to unlock it.

My understanding is that the phone is protected by a 5-digit security code (12345 default one).
