[IDEA] Call reminder

Hi all , i'm a new windows phone user and i'd like to have an a call reminder app like bln on my samsung galaxy s.
This app it simply let the buttons to light up when you receive a new text, email, or missed call, which means you won’t need to unlock the screen to discover a notification.
If this is not possible maybe you can develop an app that will make the phone ring every tot minutes.
Unfortunately i'm not a devloper and i'm not enought skilled to help... give you an idea is the only thing that i can do !
I think this would be a top seller app !

Is it really that hard to look at your lockscreen? Every new notification is on it!
I know, that this kind of app is a must need at Android, but at WP every new notification is showing clearly at the lockscreen - you don't need to unlock it, just look at it...

i don't understand becouse u have to make polemics... if you are not interested simply don't answear to the post.
Anyway this is the only feature that i miss and well is not the same thing as u described , with this app you can simply watch the phone wherever it is and see if there is some miss notification instead to take the phone and push the button !

that kind of replies I believe it's useless. Anyway, I agree with you. In the dark it is very usefull and even in the daylight. What I thought about, since I have a optimus 7 witch doesn't have lights under phisical buttons, is that a corner of the screen could be highlighted, or even different corners, so that you don't have to lighten your screen every time, especialy when you are in a meeting or something.

it would be nice if we have sound call reminder

there is a similar app on android called no led, i tried it but it was a battery drain becouse even if you light only a screen corner all the screen is on!

yes, I can't believe a call reminder app is not available till now. How can one use the phone without it? even WM6.5 have it, how can a supposedly 'improved' WP system not have it? a sound reminder every few minutes will be fine, I won't be checking on the lock screen every few minutes just to see if I have any missed calls!!

[REQ] Always show clock?

Hi,
To check the time, I don't like having to switch on the screen with the power button, setting off the weather animation on Sense lockscreen. It's a bit awkward and uses battery unnecessarily.
So, my request to any dev is this;
Is it possible to keep the portion of the screen where the small clock is (in the top right) on all the time? Even when the rest of the screen is off, the clock stays visible ALL the time.
Not sure if it would create problems with battery usage, screen burn?
Any thoughts?

Change it to clock. Very simple.

From what i understand, you want the screen to be on all the times but partially (just the top rlght). I think that's technically impossible.

Download "NoLed" by madmack from the market. It's an excellent app and has exactly what you are looking for plus a lot of other cool stuff.

+1, you hit the nail on the head. I use this on my Sgs2, and it works well.
Regards

I'm quite sure that this will use more battery than turning the screen on once in a while for a few seconds

Wrong section and its more of a [Q] than a [REQ]

NoLed is a really good app, but it doesn't do what i'm requesting. When NoLed is active, if you look at the screen at the correct angle, you can see that the whole screen is on. Thank you tho
I'm trying to establish if it's possible to make only the pixels covering the clock area (in the notification bar) to stay on. This way the clock is always visible, and not much battery is drained(????)

That would only work on AMOLED screens.

That would only be beneficial to those who have AMOLED screens.
I am pretty sure the HTC Ace has a 480*800 LCD, and I don't think it is possible to shut down different areas of the screen without hardware mods.

ok, guess it ain't happening then....

maybe try using the desk clock, to my knowledge you use that and then u can press the powerbutton but all u see is the time and whatever else u set

Please post your ideas on how to solve screen burn-in issue!

I can't believe Google was so stupid as to design ON-SCREEN buttons and not foresee screen burn-in issues.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we can fix Google's mistake?
If only there was a way to keep the Navigation Menu always hidden and then only make it appear when we need to use it...sort of like how you can hide the Windows Start bar and when you move your mouse, it animates into view on top of everything else.
Maybe, we can use the proximity sensor to show or hide the Navigation Menu? Like, when you swipe your hand over the sensor, it shows or hides it. Or, maybe make it shake activated? Like just shake your phone and the Navigation Menu appears/disappears. If it's shake activated, then we should make it so we can adjust the shake sensitivity because not everyone shakes the same.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to solve this? Please post them!
I hope Google tracks this thread and patents and uses our ideas. Or else, give us tactile or capacitive buttons in the next Nexus!

I'm sure there is a ROM or two that does this. I know one for the N7 has that feature... I think it was Glazed. Maybe their GNex ROM has it also.
I haven't had any screen burn-in issues in 8 months of owning the phone so unfortunately I can't help there. good luck.

Like 98% of the issues around here I've never had this problem. Sometimes I think I'm the only person with a problem free Nexus. Nevertheless, jaseglenn4 has a thread discussing this. You'll find some info there, good luck:

I have screen retention with my keyboard and that's about it.
Sometimes it's fairly noticeable, sometimes it's not, not bothering me enough to get it replaced.

I just changed my habits so that I rotate the screen 90° to the right whenever I use landscape (web browsing and lots of other things) so as to switch the menu to the opposite side. I figure with that usage pattern it'll take twice as long to notice any burn in.
With low brightness settings in most cases I figure this'll be longer than I expect to keep the phone anyway.

I heard a myth that if you had screen burn in issue you can reduce it by setting a fullscreen white image, crank it up to max brightness and leave it there for 1-2 hours.. it's not gone but it'll be reduced..
Can someone confirm this?

Yes some roms have the expandable desktop option to make it full screen. I see some people use that and LMT so they don't have to use nav bar instead just gestures to move around phone

Don't ever buy a phone with an amoled display again. *solved*
good day.

It's not going to burn in. Your screen would have to be on for days and days consecutively, nonstop, with the keys never hiding or changing position. And even then with the stock color of the keys it's even less likely.

Has anyone got burned in images of the buttons on their phone right now? Or is this a "this might happen" question? Have been using mine for a good few months now and there is no sign of this issue!

I think the reason Google made the virtual keys grey is for this reason solely. It's not full white so there shouldn't be able burn-in issues.
I commonly see image-retention (keyboard shadows etc.) but not burn-in. I highly doubt anyone has the latter.

Soooo, this is a non-issue. Good to know!

You have any idea how long it takes for burn in to occurred? Last time I try, it took a week or two, with the screen on 24/7 to get a little burn in on my laptop LCD display. It went away after I turn off the screen for a night.
For the nexus to have a burn-in onscreen button happened? Good luck with that.

Neither mine or my gf's have this issue. Now my nexus 7....it has it bad....

What's the difference between image-retention and burn-in?
The issue I'm seeing is that when the screen is white or a light color, I can see where the Navigation Menu used to be (when I hide it).

I hide top and bottom bar so I avoid any burn in.

burn in is a lot easier on amoled displays....
your comparison makes no sense

I have seen a little retention but nothing i would worry about. Usually goes away after a few seconds.
Personally i love the on screen nav buttons.

[Q] 4.1.2 update from AT&T ... lockscreen glow

I can't figure out what is setting the lockscreen to glow every so often ... I've yet to time it. It's not my lockscreen, but a new looking thing with the time and missed notifications including current battery life. I actually like it, but can't figure out where to control it. Only started happening today following the software update.

To be a little more detailed, the feature is called quick glance & it is activated by reaching towards the phone (specifically towards the top where the proximity sensor is) when the screen is off.
I also like the feature, but have found that it is not quite sensitive enough. Often I have to wave my hand many times to get it to activate. But it is indeed a nice idea that could potentially save some battery life as it does not require turning on the device & powering the entire screen to check if you have any missed items.

ah - thanks! I must have brushed by the camera or something ... now I see how it works. handy!

weather widget?

I can see the weather information from the app. is there a separate widget and not an app shortcut?

It works as designed, but I think it needs a redesign

Always on display still times out after 5 minutes. It should stay on until the watch runs out of power or i turn the option off.

"Always On Display" is the dimmed / alternative face (depending on which face you're using) that comes on after your normal screen has timed out.

Hmm i did not interpret it that way. Thanks.

There are certain watch faces that can show the whole watch after dim.
But amoled screen has issue with burn in. So not recommended

Yes indeed there are. I make mine like that. And if it's white face, I find they go too dim you can't even tell the time so I've started making inverted colours for dim mode. Whole face, but opposite colours. Problem is though that dim is still, well, dim. If you wanted to show off your beautiful face you spent hours scripting on, you can't unless you don't use wrist gesture
