About your lock screen
The lock screen appears when you power on your phone or while the screen is locked. The lock screen has a
sleep mode and an awake mode.
Sleep mode
When your phone has been inactive, the screen times out (goes black). If you lift, tap, or move the phone
sideways on a surface, or when a notification comes in, the screen goes into sleep mode and shows
essential information:
•
Time
•
Date
•
Notification icons that let you peek at messages
•
Battery level
If you're playing media, the media player also appears in sleep mode, so you can control what's playing
without fully waking the screen.
