I've got two clocks on my lock screen, and I can't figure out how to change them. I can change my desktops, but not my lock screen.
Any clue?

Try to go to Settings>Date & time>Travel mode (at the bottom). Make sure the set home time zone matches yours. If you don't need the 2 clocks even when your traveling, turn it off.

That fixed it. Thanks! I now only have one clock showing, but at least I know which time zone it is showing.

Hey, i received my desire yesterday and i love it but i cant work out how to do two things,
1. Remove the slide lock screen and just have the pattern? It seems stupid to have to push the button on top, then slide the thing down and then put in a pattern.
2. Make the clock display either my current location through A-GPS or the town that i have put into world clocks? At the moment it either displays United Kingdom or "current location".
Thanks

Delete the clock widget and then add it again, you can select which location it uses.
That worked, Thanks.
Any was to solve the first problem?
I'm also getting a notification about once an hour telling me to set current time when i click on it, it says
unable to detect your current time zone. tap below to select a city. i have to click on GMT+1 but as this is the only option why does android keep asking me?
Thanks

Welcome to the world of Android. Its fiddly at first but will soon become your best friend
I assume your issue comes when the phone can't detect where you are in the world by using your phones network. When that happens, it prompts you to tell it where you are so it can keep things up to date.
Mine did the same, I resolved it by choosing where I was and after a few times it stopped.
If it continues (and becomes VERY annoying) try this:
Menu > Settings > Date & Time > Untick "Automatic" at the top of that screen and set your date, time zone and time manually
Hope that helps

Yeh that fixed it, thanks.
is there no way to change the lock screen then?

I assume you mean the pattern unlock? If so you could try slide unlock similar to the iPhone one.... not tried it myself but if you search for slide unlock in these forums you should find it
No way to change the lock screen. On the G1 you used to be able to press menu which would put you straight on pattern unlock and bypass the lock screen. On the Desire for some reason the only way you can turn it on is via the power button =/
This may be something so simple that I just can't see it but, does anyone know how do increase the display time for the lock screen? Mine only stays on about 2 seconds and for the life of me I cannot find the setting to change it. Thanks.

Under Settings look at Display and Wallpaper, in there is the screen timeout. I have set mine to 30 sec and it works perfect.
Hope this helps a little.

That seems to work for the active screens but not for the lock screen.

Do you mean the time it stays on if you press the power button but you do not unlock it? Just trying to confirm the exact time out you mean before I answer.

Not to speak for OP but yes this is what he means. It goes off after about 3 seconds in the scenario you just mentioned. Only thing that "helps" is if you have smart stay activated it'll keep the lock screen on when you're looking at it.
But the reason this drives me insane is I have some apps, especially my SMS app, set to wake the screen upon receipt of a message. Well by the time I get the phone in my hand or out of pocket the screen is turning back off.

Yep, that's my issue. If I ever get that ironed out I would like to have my dock on the lock screen as I did on my Galaxy S3 but, I don't see options for that either.

The only way to have control over the timeout period is to actually have a lock enabled. Rather it is pin, swipe, or pattern one of them must be enabled. The select Lock Automatically and then select the time you want it to stay on.
On my note 4 I noticed my screen was staying on lock screen for duration of regular screen timeout so I actually wanted the opposite of what you want. I then realized what was causing my lock screen to stay on if i pressed power button. It was the remote/peel smart widget on lock screen. If you enable it on lock screen it keeps your screen on for as long as your dimming timeout. Perhaps other lockscreen widgets might do the same.

What? ? Where is this setting at?
Im on OG5 stock unrooted, and its not under 'settungs/lockscreen '
Thanks
Peel Smart is a Samsung app used to activate the the note 4 remote control features. It allows you to use the phone as a remote for tvs, devices etc. Inside the app there is a setting to enable the app on lock screen. Thats what allows my screen to stay on while locked.

Genius! I have been uninstalling random apps and using Greenify to force apps to "sleep" in an effort to get my constantly lit screen under control... I don't know how you narrowed it to the Peel widget, but instant solution!!
Have just changed from M8 to M9 and therefore Sense 6 to Sense 7. According to the specs, the lock screen on the M9 is supposed to show the sunset time for the day below the weather on the lockscreen. My doesnt, and I can't find a setting anywhere to turn it on. Is there by default or do I have to somehow turn it on somewhere??

Hmmm ok thanks, weird as mine isn't... there doesn't appear to be any setting to have it on or off. So as you say it should be there by default. Thanks anyway.
Hey Guys,
Got my H815T variant today. Extremely happy with it thus far!
Just had a question for other owners.
I was trying to setup lock screen shortcuts, however whenever I selected it and configured it, they never showed up on the lock screen. I am using the 'swipe' security method.
Anyone else have any difficulties with this?
Cheers,
Kevin
Whirlpoolian?
There should be shortcuts on there by default. Were there any when you first used the device? If you've picked them from the lock screen settings then they should appear.
Might be a pain but hard reset might be the only thing i can think of that may work.

Mine didn't show up until I did a full power off/on after changing them around. Was thoroughly confused as to how to use them for a bit lol....
If you have any kind of lock screen security enabled, you won't be able to use lock screen shortcuts. The Shortcuts menu item under the Lock Screen menu won't show up if your lock screen security is set to anything other than 'None' or 'Swipe.'
How can I get the display of a running app active? If I start for example a navigation with "Here we go" the display always switch to the watch display after a time. Ok, I can switch the display with a button or with the ring but I need to see the app until I switch it off.
Thank´s for tipps.

Go to settings/display/show last app and change 20secs(default time) for the rank that you want.

You are a lifesaver.
Thank you very much.
not for me. Because the display is limited then by setting/display/timeout to a maximum of 5 min.

That setting works for me as my use case is that I have to stay in a particular app, say for example the music player.
Doesn't matter if the display switches off when I lower my wrist. That can be easily remedied by flicking the wrist or tapping a button.
What shouldn't happen is the app exiting itself to the home screen.
Therefore, it works like a charm for me.
