Enabling Date on status bar on Galaxy S24 without Apps or APKs

Hi Samsung Inspiring Agile, @LeoWyatt89 @GaryB82 @realaud @usermzeJaY3BsM

Greetings,

Request: I'd love to see the Date in the status bar at the top of my Samsung Galaxy S24 mobile phone without installing third party Apps or Apks please.

Tried & Not Happy: At Playstore i searched Good lock Samsung App it resulted me-> Finelock app and it asks me to download Quickstar apk which is harmful. (Attaching apk reference and URL: )https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/quickstar/quickstar-7-3-06-50-release/samsung-quickstar-7-3-06-50-android-apk-download/download/?key=d3395ac36851dea9e68a985579ecabb08cb1279e)

Being Samsung S24 Ultra Customer please think from my Shoes: After paying a high price for a quality top notch Samsung S24 Ultra phone, i really don wish to download third party apps or Apks or apps for a User friendly Date feature at status bar in a high standard phone.

Can I submit this request for the next update? I've been hoping this would come out in the next OS update with your great work! Appreciate your good work in advance.

Appreciate your quick response @GaryB82

1. If there is a possibility why cant we add this as a inbuilt setup or a feature at Date settings layout without using/installing Goodluck or any app in next software update please!

2. Also is there a way i can display date and time at status bar on my lockscreen too ?

Hoping your great work! TIA.

Who knows, it might be added in a future update, but no one really knows what will be included. At the moment they are no way to add it to the Lockscreen status bar.

Finelock is there because for whatever reason, Samsung has made Goodlock region restricted and it isn't available everywhere. Finelock is a 3rd party repository that someone made for devices/regions that can't get Goodlock. But all of the modules within both are made by a team directly from Samsung

You know I went to a different download of the same file and I didn't get it could be harmful to download. Apk mirror has many different downloads from different people and places you can download from so I feel like it's spreading false information to make everyone believe every version of this is dangerous because it's not. We should present the whole story and the truth about anything we talk about. I get quite a different warning when I go to download it which you will get from any third party download. Doesn't mean it will hurt your phone for sure and I use apk mirror and I've never had a problem with anything I downloaded even though I get the standard warning. As I said the whole truth and story about things needs to be presented

I'm going to try and find that and see if it's better than good lock.

The warning is just a generic warning you get from downloading APK from a 3rd party source. It doesn't actually mean the file is harmful for certain

It's not "better" than Goodlock, it just does the same thing for devices/regions that can't download Goodlock

Oh ok I see. I didn't know that

Re: Re: Re: Enabling Date at GalaxyS24 without Apps or APKs

HelloimRyan — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 06:30:19 GMT

Yeah exactly. I've downloaded many files from 3rd party sites and they never harmed my phone. I just made sure they were reputable

And thank you for letting me know that. I tried it out but I like good lock better myself. I never knew there was anything else like it before. I love to learn new things.

Samsung, please include in the next software build the ability to see the date in the task bar without downloading any apps. Does Samsung listen to customer feedback?

Yes, it should not be difficult for Samsung to give us this Date,Day, Month in upper status bar for S24 Ultra mobile

It is available in my Samsung S24FE TABLET which I bought a year ago and pre installed.

Thankyou for submitting this request, I would like to include in that request, not just date Thur, Jan 1 but add a optional 0 before numbers 1 to 9, and add a optional year as well.
