If you are thinking about purchasing this item, think about these words. in 2 hours the battery level has come down from 35% to 14% – this means you will have to recharge your phone 3 – 4 times each day.

[..]awesome information avialable here, definitely should go read this, it’s totally worth it[..]…

Anyway, whenever new email arrives, the Mail icon on your homescreen should have a red circle in the upper-right, indicating that there is new/unread email, as well as the number of new/unread email. Going to the initial Mail page should list all of your accounts. To the right of each account should be the number of new/unread email. It's really streamlined and easy when dealing with multiple email accounts (in my opinion). I have 5 accounts, each getting dozens of emails everyday, and find Mail in iOS 4 to be very nice and simple.

Regarding this post – These are jailbroken applications. The iPhone 4 isn't yet jailbroken, so you can't install these applications, but these are just to give you a notification on your lockscreen of new things, such as email, SMS, etc.

First, I have 8 e-mail accounts. Yes, perhaps this is a lot, but they are all very specific, each relating to some aspect of my business, my position as an officer in Civil Air Patrol, Filmmaker, etc. In any case, on the Blackberry, each of these accounts was represented by a separate icon. What is visible on the home screen is a unified mail icon, the same as on the iphone. Click it and all the emails from all the accounts are combined. I rarely if ever used that. But now to the core of the matter.

When an email was received by any of the accounts, the first thing that would happen is that a red LED would start blinking on the top right front of the phone. You could also make it make a sound and/or vibrate. This immediately alerted you to receipt of an email across any of the accounts or a text message. Clicking any key then woke up the screen. There the one email visible on the home screen had a red icon, indicating new mail. Clicking the “return key” to the left of the trackball then drilled you down to the rest of the phone's icons (that you chose to be visible) and among them were the EIGHT icons, each representing an individual email account. On the one of more accounts (represented by an envelop icon) that had new mail, appeared a red star on the corner.

Again…simple…you get an email, are alerted by the blinking LED, click to wake up the home page, click on the return key, and then see precisely which email account HAS NEW MAIL.

The iphone 4 does not do this. It is very frustrating, not just because I am new to it, but because when I unlock the phone and see I have new mail there is absolutely no indication (other than a change in a number on the mail account page, that appears next to each account name). There is no red icon. The number of emails could be red to indicate new mail…anything. I find myself just searching through the various accounts to find the new mail or going to the unified mail icon – which I prefer not to do — it does not enable me to quickly reference past mail in the same account.

Do any of the applications discussed her preform the function I have described by previding a separate head's up on the locked page? Perhaps one of them enables you yo position an icon for each e-mail account on this page and provide an indication as to which has new mail waiting?

I would appreciate any and all help. Because of the volume of mail I receive each day and how I use this feature, it might be a deal breaker for my transition to the iphone!

Just as a note the article author – I didn't write 5 icon dock (though it's some nice work). That one belongs to Saurik. I did Reflective Dock.

i set my iphone to receive Push Mails for MS Exchange. I expect the battery life to last shorter than usual. But, is it a norm for the battery life to be reduced by approx 20%. (Main reason why i love LockInfo is also because it informs me of any missed emails and upcoming appts.)

I have introduced it to a few of my colleagues and they loved it. Unfortunately, because of the reduction in battery life, we are finding it a challenge to use the phone for our whole work day (0800hrs – 0000hrs). Usually, with LockInfo enabled, my phone will reach abt 10% battery life by 2000hrs.

To aid in optimization :
- I receive approx 30 emails a day.
- I seldom use the phone to surf the net or play games.
- I did not use my phone to listen to music.

i have tried using LockInfo and feel that it is a wonderful application to have. It provides me with all the information i require (notification for email, sms, missed calls.)

Unfortunately, i realised that the battery seems to be drained at a faster rate. My battery seems to last 20% shorter with LockInfo enabled. Battery used to last at least for 16hrs per charge but with LockInfo enabled, it only last for 12hrs.

I am not sure if other users are having similar experiences. If so, maybe this app can be improved to optimise the battery life.

This is no doubt still a great app.

So what if it’s paid?? It deserves the 5 bucks… and think about the ongoing upgrades!!

LOVE IT!!!
