I'm working on a mobile web app in which I need Pusher's javascript server to keep on getting triggers such that the page will keep on getting updates.

Unfortunately, the auto screen lock pauses the procedure.

Is there a way to cause the mobile browser to prevent the device from auto locking?

    The stock (Android) browser on the device? Don't think so. If you build your own apk that just contains a webview that you are displaying your web app in, then yes, just acquire a wakelock. No idea about ios though. – FoamyGuy May 27 '12 at 19:07
  • In iOS it is about the same Tim said. In the stock Safari you can't change device settings. But if you made an actual app instead of a lazy app you could have more control over the accelerometer. – Ryan Poolos May 27 '12 at 19:27

    @Tim On Android, I'm talking about Firefox, since the stock browser doesn't support websockets anyway. btw, is it possible to set the browsers (Firefox/Safari) not to auto lock device? – user1364136 May 27 '12 at 21:10
  • as a workaround : is there a way to execute a refresh or an ajax request when reactivating device after auto lock? – user1364136 May 27 '12 at 22:10
