When I get to work in the morning, I have to fill in a date card for my parking permit. If I could just press the side button to get the time and date, that would be superb. As it is, I've got to take off my glove in the cold, unlock the phone and then pull down slightly to get the date.
Edit @stezz: Judging by comments what is shown on lock screen should be configurable.

How about being able to put some text there ?

With the latest update i find that I miss the empty lock screen, however others love having the date/time visible, so can this be a configurable option (ie whether or not to have the date and time visible)?

Meanwhile there are multiple Patches (requiring Patchmanager to apply them) available at OpenRepos.net (easily installable via Storeman or Warehouse) and / or from Patchmanager 2.0's web-catalog, which nicely allow to configure what is displayed on the lockscreen.
My personal favorite is Lockscreen analog clock (its analog clock is optional and it also can be used to display an empty lockscreen) from the aforementioned web-catalog.
Wow. This is from Christmas eve 2013. :)
Yeah, I considered closing it, hence doing a "last call".
Anyway, I am missing ICE contact information from the lock screen. I believe android has a special contact that ambulance crew can read even from locked device.
Then the Patch Devicelock faith text is for you.
olf ( 2017-12-03 23:05:13 +0200 )editClose it?, yep, I thought the same, three quarters of the commentary on this screen are from people who no longer work for Jolla or users who no longer use a Jolla phone.
This is one of many examples of how questions get largely ignored and shoved by the wayside. 588 votes over 5 years and f**k all has happened. So much for DOING IT TOGETHER - which to me, has become laughable, as a few members of the community have already made patches to quench the thirst of other users, but what notice has HQ taken?, little to none. tis all about form over function - so, yeah, close it, what a waste of fkin time and space - this is of course, just my opinion.
Spam Hunter ( 2017-12-04 12:42:22 +0200 )edit... which I fully share.
Yes, it would be so easy for Jolla to integrate some elements of famous Patches into the UI (i.e. lipstick). But over time it has become obvious that they just don't.
OTOH, for users really wanting a different lockscreen, these solutions exist and work.
I am the OP, and I still use a Jolla 1, and yes, I've also missed the ICE contact from the front screen... actually the ideal way for someone to get the phone back to me when lost. And yes, I still use the phone with gloves (but the time and date is still displayed on the latest version, so that's fine)
As to closing the call... well... like was mentioned, this is years ago and is probably fine, because the original question received the votes, and was, indeed done. Time/Date on the phone on pressing the power button. So, 588 votes... and it happened!
As to the extra added by Stezz, of making the whole screen configurable... it was explained somewhere (possibly in a duplicate post, or someone asked that question elsewhere) as to what it would mean, programatically, to make this happen... and once I understood the mechanisms, it was obvious why that wasn't going to be a reality, at least until things get much better for Jolla than they are at present.

Yeah, somewhere near the clock would be perfect!
jaine ( 2013-12-24 22:15:34 +0200 )editAlso battery and network status would be nice to see on lock screen, now they are "hidden".
Jäävuari ( 2013-12-25 07:45:42 +0200 )editAlso add the current wifi network name to that list.
lomo ( 2013-12-25 15:20:57 +0200 )editCan you not remember the N9 in situations like this?
NikosAlexandris ( 2013-12-25 16:58:08 +0200 )editMy 2 cents: Time is something that changes every minute so it is important info that you have to have on lock screen. Date is something that changes every 24 hrs. So it is not vital info. i.e. when you wake up you can just check the calendar once and you'll be good for the whole day.
