Referring to the image below. I am not sure what this state or screen is called when you lock the phone and it is inactive. I was not expecting the phone to always show this and hoped it would go away after a moment or even a few minutes.
I have tried to turn the inactive screen off with buttons and have looked around in the settings to try to change it to no avail. Also haven’t seen it brought up in any other posts yet. Who has found out more about this screen?
What I prefer is to have the screen fully off or perhaps change it to show the time and date as it does in the locked screen shown below.
If they swap to this screen then the screen will be refreshing every minute to show your time all day and night which will drain your battery probably in hours instead of days, i rather have to click the power button to check the time and have ability to customize the logo screen with some minimalistic photos that i would choose…
Fair enough, good point. I would still prefer it to show that though. Even without updating it every minute. So it shows the old time and date and make it refresh to show the correct time and date when the power button is clicked.
To be honest, I have some weird problem I need to adapt to somehow. Eink is quite bright in daylight. That brightness and the logo drive my attention telling my brain like if I just got a notification whenever my eye captures the screen on the side.
I need to keep it screen down or get it off my desk. Hopefully my brain will calm down. I’m copying pictures from the smartphone and shutting it down.
I have the same thing, it brings my attention every few moments
We’ll get used to it, i love the screen and whole device even though there are some issues with software i know all of it can be fixed in time and the hardware is perfect power and visual wise.
Since a few years I have turned off all notifications, badges etc. on my iphone already and I am loving that it is inherent to this device. The mantra of “I pick it up when I want to pick it up” and not when my phone decides it wants to be picked up.
However with the quite bright inactive screen that continuously shows where to unlock it I think it goes against that mantra. So I prefer having a fully off / dark inactive mode instead.
Your suggestion of laying it with the screen down can work, but I would prefer not to, to prevent the screen from getting damaged.
Gotcha. I have a case but in such situation I’d keep the phone in my bag, jacket or whatever unless they provide an option for setting a black locklock screen (or unless my brain gets used to the way it is now).
Also, instead of a logo they could show a drawing, like the Boox devices do. Or the Mudita logo without the ‘Mudita Kompakt’ text which is a bit obnoxious. A clock is nice but not necessary.
