Possible to display ONLY current time in locked screen?

[F_k_Google]

I just got a new Fairphone 2 some weeks ago. I’m very pleased with it, but of course there are some minor issues…

The “locked”- screen shows either at what time the battery will be fully charged, or how long the battery will last. I don’t care so much about that info, it’s exact in an annoying way. But even more, it’s very confusing since you misstake it for the actual “now” time, which I’d much rather see. I want to be able to disable these functions.

Just a workaround, as you can’t disable the functions you want.

@Lidwien

Did you try this:Start your phone and swipe halfway on your screen from left to right until you have the current time on the lock screen, then swipe from buttom to the top. Now the Fairphone has learned you want to see the current time.Next time you unlock the screen you wil see the current time.Make sure that you now only swipe from bottom to top. Otherwise the phone won’t remember that you want to see the clock.

Any news on this? I would LOVE to disable the three widgets that isn’t the time

I would also like to be able to only see the clock and none of the other stuff!
It is really annoying when I want to briefly check the time and have to start swiping around to see the clock

This post is unbelievable.

1. You dont need to swipe left or right, simply tap it
   2)/Swiping up does not lock or remember your choice
2. because of 1) is why this whole stupid thing is such a problem. Your phone is on lock screen in your pocket and for the simple reason that it only needs to be tapped to change it, it gets changed! Or maybe it just changes on its own but given how the touchscreen often has a mind of its own…

Please fix

I repeat my own quoot.
This is only a workaround, but a workaround that does what you want, just to see your clock!

@Lidwien I’m pretty sure @drb was referring to your post and I’m also sure he is right. Maybe you don’t have any random taps when your phone is locked so to you it seems like the widget is “locked”.

[Lidwien]

I know that my widget isn’t locked. If I touch anything on the screen, instead of swiping from bottom to top, the screen with the clock is changed to another screen. And I have to repeat my workaround to get the clock on the first screen visible.

I don’t understand this discussion at all.

One is saying the clock is always disappearing and you keep saying the clock keeps always disappearing

Hi, I tried to understand, what users tell, but on the bottom of the tread I do not have a Clou, if it’s possible to have a secured Screen only with the clock or not? Well, perhaps someone can give a yes or no and if yes, how one can Change the screen we look on it, what is realy not the best view. sorry

[sky]

No, you can’t have that. Everytime you touch the screen again it will change.

[Beachcomber]

Hi sky, thank you for your answer. Robsidobsi mention to do a screenshot for an other question (sorry, I have some, will be less with time ) and so I send you a Foto, how I would like to see my locked Screen. (found this on the page from Android 5 Lolipop.) Just that you understand, what I’m looking for. So I would be able to see the time and if there are new Messages, without unlock the phone.

[Beachcomber]

I understand now a post from Lidwien and for me it is super ok now.

[Beachcomber]

@Lidwien: now I understand, what you told us! And it works! Sorry, first I coudn’t follow you, but you are right!Thank you!

This is driving me to despair. I don’t wear a watch and I want to simply pull out my phone quickly and unobtrusively to check the time. This simple feature does not work on FP2 (for all the reasons explained by Rory, danielsjohan and others above). More often then not I look down and (darn it!) it is showing me something other than the time. So I am left having to tap (or swipe L>R OR R>L, both works for me) the peace of mind widget till I get the time.

[Donsemann]

I think there should be a possibility to change things on the lock screen. What about instead of saying how long you’ve had the phone or how long you’ve had pease of mind, it said how long it is since you called your mother. Or how long ago you had a random reboot. That would at least show some sense of humor.

[Donsemann]

Is it possible to change the lock screen info with a rooted phone?

[Beachcomber]

Hi Suri.Mues, I have my FP2 for some days, and every time I push the Energie button, the time is showing up and if there are new Messages, (like on the photo I posted above.) If I’m only checking the time, then I cut off the Energie again. And next time, first I see the time. It works with me. I do not have to unlock the FP2 first.

Fixed in the latest Android update!
