View email count from locked screen

Hello,
I just got an iPhone 4 to replace my blackberry and had a question about viewing if I have new email. What I'd like to be able to do is when the phone is locked to push the home button and be able to see if I have new mail. My mail is already setup to push and I get an alert if I get a new email but sometimes I miss the alert or think there is a new email when there isn't. When this happens I have to bring out the phone, slide the bar across, enter my password before I can see if I have new mail. Not the end of the world, I know, but if there is a way to see if I have new mail just from the locked screen that would be great. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, which app (or what settings) would be required to do it? Thanks so much.

Sadly not.
What I would suggest is to check on your alert settings provided through your email provider.
For example, with Yahoo! email (and in Gmail), I have filters set that will send my mobile number a text alert (which I have saved in my phone, to distinguish email alerts).
Thus, when I receive a specific email that I am expecting, the filter sends my phone a text message, which when sent multiple texts (meaning multiple emails matching my filter criteria), shows up on the lock screen).
The following screenshot, for example, shows that I have three texts, which are from Yahoo!. The email that the alerts are sent from is "[email protected]". You can figure this out though, when the first alert is sent. Just save that to your address book under something that'll denote it's from your email provider.

Unread email count on lock screen?

Sorry if this is a newb question - just got the iPhone and have searched and dorked around with this thing to no avail... how do I get the unread email message count to show up on my lock screen? Having the voice and text message count would be cool too.

Of course, if you were to jailbreak your phone (and all the bricking risks this incurs - and I suffered repeated inexplicable crashes while my phone was jailbroken) there is an awesome app that allows you to customise exactly what you will see on the lock screen.
Why Apple doesn't offer this, I do not know - it's so annoying when you have a lock code set up, to have to have to click the home button, swipe & tap in the code just to see if you have any updates in any of your apps... Apple's vaunted UI has clearly not been applied here. I am surprised that Steve isn't ****** himself at having to do this every time. (Maybe Steve's phone is an in-house apple-jailbreak model?)

My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

[Unsolved] iOS 8 Exchange Emails read on other devices do not clear out from Lock Screen

Creating this thread again since the last one got marked 'solved' automatically although no solution was found.
My Google Apps (Exchange) emails on the lock screen are not disappearing when I read them on other devices (eg. my iPad or Mac). On iOS 7 this used to work very consistently for me, that is, when I received an email on 3 devices and read it on one of them, the email would instantly be marked as read on the other devices and the notifications would be cleared out.
Furthermore, if I slide the notification of a read email on the lock screen and delete it, it has no effect on the server. So this is certainly a bug.
PS: Also tried Push email notifications with iCloud mail, same problem. For iCloud, even the icon badge count is not updated.

Nope. Mine is an iPhone 5 that has Exchange, Gmail and Hotmail accounts on it. All three email clients worked perfectly on iOS 6 and 7 in terms of appearing on and disappearing from the lock screen, but my experience with iOS 8 has been horrible. As to this issue in particular, not only are items not disappearing from the lock screen, but even when I changed the setting to show only 1 message on the lock screen (just so I would know if I have any new email), every email I get nevertheless still appears on the lock screen ?!?! I agree with t87 that iOS has been a regression and, to my mind, a big one at that (not just limited to this issue). The mantra of "it just works" does not hold true, at least in my experience.

Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button? This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

End a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?

Is there a way to end a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?
I frequently call into meetings from my iPhone and then lock the screen, I don't like having to unlock my phone just to go off mute or end the call..

iPhones should not lock at all during any length call unless you're using a headset - wired or Bluetooth. In that case, you should use the mute and end call controls on the headset.
The only exception to this are phones that were configured by corporate security settings that force the phone to lock after a specified interval regardless if there is a call in progress. In that case, you only option it to get your IT dept. to reconfigure this setting.

Opening camera or calculator from lock screen

Recently I upgraded my 5S to IOS 8.3 and now faced issue when starting camera or calculator from lock screen.
I'm pressing "home" button to activate screen and then start calculator or camera from bottom menu, but the screen goes black immediately.
When I press "home" button again, I can see that the camera or calculator will be closed and I'm back in lock screen.
Does anyone else have similar issue with 8.3 ?

I currently have the exact same issue with my iPhone 5s.
The previous update was golden and fixed every issue I had with my 5s. I have my 5s set up for Touch ID/password and I was thinking it might have something to do with that, but I haven't gotten around to testing this issue without all of that enabled.
I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this issue...
This update also bright back other issues that were fixed in the previous update, for me anyway.
Is there a way for us to officially submit this issue to Apple?

Removing time and date from lock screen

Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.

Option to disable the "slide to call" feature for missed calls from lock screen

I realized that when the iphone (running iOS5) is locked, the“Slide to Call” allows anyone to make an outgoing call to the missed calls from a locked phone (with passcode). This may allow malicious and unwanted calls to be made from a locked phone by anyone having access to the phone and defeats the purpose of having the phone locked by a passcode.
Don't get me wrong, it is nice feature for people who don't care about locking their phone, but I believe there should be an option to disable the “slide to call” or at least require password before allowing the outgoing call to go through.
At this point the only option that I see is to disable the phone related notifications from lock screen, which prevents all phone related notifications to be displayed on lock screen (missed or voicemail). This is not a desired solution.....
This is the first time in the history of iOSes, that a user can make outgoing calls from a locked phone with a passcode. Even the voice commands (for dialling a number) have option to be disabled on locked screen.
I was wondering if anybody else feels the same way about this? or have a solution?

I share the same feeling with you about this issue.
Actually I was very surprised when I discovered that!
In addition to this, when you actually slide a missed call, it calls the person and when you end the call, the notification of the missed call is still present! So that person can be called again and again and again.
This is a serious issue that Apple has overlooked!
Please secure the iOS 5.
Thanks.

Xperia UI frozen after coming out from lock screen

I find the app switcher and notification bar inaccessible when the phone comes out from lock screen. Swiping down or pressing the task switcher does nothing.
Solved!

That's the problem, uninstall it > press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds and check again

HT5858 Bug with control centre? - only accessible from lock screen

I cannot access Control Center from my home screens or within apps, only from the Lock Screen - very annoying if I want to switch my music output for example or use the torch.
My settings are on for both access from Lock Screen and Access from within Apps.
Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

Hello Adrian Biffen,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can't access Control Center from inside apps. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you're using an app that uses similar swipe gestures, like Maps or games, you might have to swipe up twice: once to reveal the handle for Control Center, and a second time to reveal Control Center.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

IPhone 6 Camera from lock screen, closes after 1 second...

When I access the camera from the lock screen, it opens for about one second then just blacks out to a screen off mode. I can still get to camera the long way by unlocking screen and clicking on icon, but want to know why the shortcut from lock screen is buggy. Please advise.

I'm not sure what you meant with the first part of your reply. However, the reset seems to returned behaviors to normal... so thanks for that.
Not that it matters much now, but again, the issue was that I wasn't able to go directly into camera mode from Lock Screen... the camera app would appear for one second, then the screen would just go into sleep mode. Unlocking screen with passcode or Touch ID worked fine then opening apps from there all worked fine. Just the camera shortcut from Lock Screen as the issue, but now it is resolved.
