I was wondering if there is an app that can show time when phone is locked. I looked hard in Android market and only found apps that had desk clock feature where the app works in the foreground, I am looking for an app that could work in background and light up only when my phone is locked. I
came across people telling about LED burn-in because of such apps but never found an app. A low brightness clock preferably should solve the issue and if it's programmed to shift places within the screen that should reduce led burn-ins. Anyone has any information or suggestion about such apps?

Thats a cool idea but I haven't found something like that. I think that that could drain the battery pretty quickly which might explain why there haven't been any similar apps that have become popular. I'll look around and if I find anything similar I'll post it here.

Thats actually a DAMN GOOD IDEA FOR AN APP. Only issue I could see with why it hasnt been made is battery life. The majority of battery is being consumed by your screen, and it always glowing could kill the battery even more.
But if someone would release such an app with minimal battery life (perhaps just the clock glowing without the screen being on) I would be all over it. |
