I would like to put my details in Set owner in Preferences but not have it display permanently when I start up until I press Continue. It would be good to have the info there in case an honest person finds my 920 but it is a little annoying to me thatI have to press Continue every time. I wouldn't mind if it displayed for a few seconds but there appears to be no option to turn it off or keep it to just a few seconds. I have had to remove my details to get round this.

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

use your email address that way if a honest person does find it they will contact you ,leave your address and a un honest person finds it they know where to go as you won't be home yet

Instead of using the 'Owner details' facility, I've put "If found please contact" and my phone number on the splash screen. That way it displays when you turn the device on but you don't have to press 'Continue'.

Thanks, Anita, that's a great idea! I'll have to go and edit my splash screen.
