>Is there a way to have the autolock on the iPhone to not apply within a recognized zone? For example, in my house, I really do not need to auto lock to kick in every time as this is a complete waste of time. I have heard that someone succeeded to configure his iPhone for that.

That would be a neat trick - I haven't heard of anyone being able to find a way to do that on the iPhone, so whoever it is that says they figured it out would be a very popular person as this seems to be a common request. Android of course is a different story.as it's been done a zillion times.
