I am developing a windows phone app in which i fetching some data from service at that moment the device will go to auto lock since it is un - responsive for long time.
so , how can i avoid this auto locking in the windows phone app when some process/fetching/syncing is happening with services.
i am not able test this scenario since i am testing it on an emulator.
1) how to avoid auto locking feature in windows phone app when it is running? 2) What are the various possible ways in which i can do this ?

using Microsoft.Phone.Shell; PhoneApplicationService phoneAppService = PhoneApplicationService.Current; phoneAppService.ApplicationIdleDetectionMode = IdleDetectionMode.Disabled;
This will disable auto locking of screen. Let me know if this works.
Edit: This code should be added in App.xaml.cs in the constructor for it to work.
