HI,
I know that they probably consume some battery time but I was wondering if anyone saw something like this ?
Thanks in advance,
Bright S
Isn't such a programm really useless?
Why not turning of the device?
Stefan
i to am looking for some software like this. I would love my magician to be more like my old sony ericsson mobile in this sense. It would be great to have a screen saver that completely turns of the backlight of the device and just display a very faint image of the time. And also it will display a faint symbol to indicate a missed call or txt message so i can glance at the phone and kno if i have recieved a message without turning of the screen saver. Would also be helpful if the screen saver locked the device so tht none of the buttons work work and the screen doesnt reactivate if a message is displayed.
How much would this affect battery life? as the screen itself is basically still turned off the whole time the only difference is that i would like it so that the device never actually turns off so this faint clock and message warning is ALWAYS on and never turns off.
something like this would be fantastic!

Why not go to the today screen, switch off the backlight (hold down power switch) and then use a keylock program (many freeware ones around).
That way, you've got you whole today screen as a screensaver.
If the icons are too small, make a phonealarm skin with HUGE icons, font size 50, and you'll be laughing.
A more integrated standalone screensaver would be straightforward to program tho. analog clock, sms/call notification etc, date etc.

Pocket Candy was always quite good. Bit old now tho.

Mortsaver (www.sto-helit.de) freeware does this! All you have to do is hit a button and it displays a clock, missed calls/messages and signal strength. After 5 secs of not unlocking it, it locks the phone again and backlight goes off. There are reports of battery drainage, but I use ot for over 5 months now and have no negative experiences with it.
Yes, MortSaver exactly does this. You can also configure it in a way that it turns off the device when activated, so there's no additional battery drain at all. Once you switch on your Magician, it shows the saver with time, battery and message popups. When you're not deactivating it via the assigned hardware button, it turns off the device again.
What I was looking for is a replacement for the simple TPEnable/TPDisable, since it deactivates the hardware buttons as well in new ROM revisions. I prefered that solution over MortSaver since I prefer the today screen as information screen and this solution was faster on deactiviation as well. Does anyone know such a simple tool (only deactivating the touchscreen - nothing else)?
Its easy to control the LED status of all HTC phones, its also possible to poll the Wifi signal strenght.
3 years ago I used to have an HP with a useful blinking orange light whthat turns to green once a network is found and connected.
Unfortunately with nowadays phones (universal) we can only know if Wifi is either on or off... now bare with me for a second.. If its possible to develop an application that blinks the green wlan light of the universal at a fast pace or constant when the signal is high, slower pace when the signal is low and normal blink when there is no network connection.. would be great.
I'm posting this thread while I'm driving in my car using a bt keyboard..
If someone can develop a similar application or maybe I put myself together and develop something similar it would surely be a great feature.
Looking forward for your ideas.
Phone was running fine and I loved it, but hated how the bottom lights would stay on as long as my screen. It's annoying at nights so I downloaded this mod to fix the backlights to only show for 10 seconds instead of it following my phone's display timeout. Ever since then, the signal in the notification bar has been wacky. I used to have full Wi-Fi and at least 2 bars of signal. Now the phone shows only 1 bar of Wi-Fi and no bars for signal, yet I can still send out messages and etc. Anyone know the problem?
tl;dr - fascinate running dj05 wanted to change the backlight settings to 10 seconds with mod. Now signal bars are always low, but everything works fine. Just want my signal to show how much I have normally. Thanks in advance.
Anyone get where occasionally the signal bar just goes blank with no bars? When happens I have no internet tillnit comes back on.
hi there,
So my edge light notifications work but not with Signal, that is what i want.
in detail.
When the screen is on, i can see notifications, when it's OFF and you get a message they do not show but it does vibrate, i tried every single option possible on the phone. (maybe it depends which ones you switch on FIRST?)
If you get a phone call, they work OK.
I want to turn them on for messages with Signal with screen OFF. is there a magic setting?
i was playing with settings earlier and i managed to have it work but only on one of my S8s i have here, then restarted and "lost" it.
Whatsapp/telegram/ messages working fine but not Signal, that's an app i really like for security help.
does anyone know?
thanks,
Gabrio
