Getting rid of Autolock

Question:
Q. Help! I've been trying out the freeware Autolock, which locks my smartphone keypad after a set number of seconds, but I've now decided that I don't want it after all and I've removed it from my smartphone. The trouble is that the phone still locks the keypad after a couple of minutes, even though the utility is long gone. Is there something else I need to do in the smartphone's settings?
Answer:
A. Yes. Autolock works at quite a low level in Symbian OS Series 60 and its effects remain even after removal. The trick is to power down your smartphone and restart the operating system. Hopefully your keypad will now stay happily unlocked.
