Question Moto G Pure How do I make the clock always show up on the lock screen?

[RequiredLol]

The lock screen is only on when I push the power button so I have no idea why it doesn't always show when I turn on my phone to look at the lock screen. It's not affected by sleep display because that affects my phone when it's turned off. An answer would be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Android Central! Are you saying that when you turn on the phone, it goes immediately to the homescreen? Is your phone set to require an unlock PIN/password/fingerprint? How long is the phone set to stay unlocked after the screen is off? (Look for an option called "Lock after screen timeout" or something similar in your system settings for that.)

No, sometimes when I turn on my phone, the lock screen does not show the clock. It does not go to the home screen.

Next time this happens, see if you can take a screenshot (or take a photo of the screen with another device) and show it here.

I don't think your device has a true AOD(Always On Display)

It's usually triggered by a tap or motion, Notifications.

Go to settings>Display>peek display or maybe called Moto display make sure settings are turned on

It shouldn't need one. I should be able to click the power button, opening the lock screen and seeing the clock. I don't need to see the clock when the screen is off. Peek display doesn't exist on my pjone, I have sleep display. Nothing about sleep display fixes my problem, because it shows things on my screen when my phone is off. The lock screen is after turning the phone on and before unlocking the phone.

Yes pressing the power button should show a lock screen with clock,time etc.
Is this a widget clock you set-up?
.


Post a screenshot like mentioned earlier of your lock screen when you press the power button

This is what it should look like, and what it usually looks like. But sometimes it looks like this but without the clock

If that big clock disappears intermittent make sure low battery isn't the problem when it happens otherwise it's probably a glitch/bug in the OS , report it or see if next software update fixes it .

This is what it looks like without the clock. The show clock on lock screen setting also says when available, so I just don't understand why it wouldn't be available

That seems like a bug. To make sure some 3rd party app isn't interfering, see if the problem persists in Safe Mode: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-239600/
