Thank you! I failed to see that Classic Widgets link at the bottom. That has returned my digital clock. Solved!

I've not seen that but it doesn't really help. The Clock on the list of apps is not the original digital clock but similar to the one you can see on my screenshot above. I'm pleased you found that video, though!

Not mine. I have to place two fingers on the screen and bring them together. That produces what I attached as a screenshot above.

No widgets on my Honor phone, sorry. I've added a clock to the home screen, it's just not the original digital one. Not to worry, worse things happen at sea!

The lock screen is fine - it has a digital clock. It is the home screen that has lost it.

Yes, I have searched. The main Clock app shows the digital clock that has vanished from the Home screen but I can see no way to place it there.

Honor X6b, Android 14. Somehow I have deleted the home screen text-based clock and date. There are no widgets in this phone. The home screen doesn't respond to double-taps, just squeezing two fingers which bring up the screen as shown here. I was able to add that little clock, but it's not the...

Thank you for that. My phone hasn't all the features of a Samsung etc. but I've re-set it to how I want it now.

I don't make calls with my phone in a pocket. Does Android 11 have no means to set Wake to 'tap screen'?

I see. But I've found that it's too easy to accidentally double press the power button when the screen is off and I'm on a call - which will disconnect that call. Is there no way to use a screen tap to restore it? When I was on a call today, the caller suggested I do that when I mentioned my...

Android 11. My phone is set to turn off the screen after 5 minutes. It is restored by pressing the power button. How can I set it so that tapping the screen restores it? I ask because I don't want to lose a phone call in mid-conversation by pressing the power key.

Lots of useful advice there. I've checked as you suggest: both Bv Launcher (which seems to be the built-in, uninstallable launcher from the phone's maker Blackview) and Game mode have 'Not Allowed' in their 'Display over other apps' setting. Anyway, this is hardly important in the grand scheme...

Thanks Nick, yours is the first reply that seems to get to the nub of the problem. I forced the survey app to stop but the popup still appeared. There must be another app that's causing this. Is there a way to disable Game mode from doing anything? It's not a thing I will ever need, and it keeps...

It's not Bv Launcher that's causing this popup, as that app has been working fine since I bought the phone last summer. I suspect a different culprit: I joined a consumer survey programme recently which installs an app to anonymously monitor metadata on my phone. That seems the most likely...

It is a Blackview A90 which has worked very well for nearly a year. I assume this is Blackview Launcher, and I can find no means to uninstall it.
