Clock always visible, still conserving battery

Nokia N9 has a great feature of always displaying a digital clock when the proximity sensor senses enough space around the phone. More about it here: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/17601_Symbians_little_feature_that _c.php
So it uses a slightly dimmed backlight mode, still producing an extremely visible digital clock without draining the battery. I use it every day before going somewhere when I'm in a hurry.
This kind of always on clock is not possible for iPhone? Even if sacrificing battery drain? If there is such clock app available, which one is it?

That's why I have a wall clock in the bathroom
I think it's a bad idea to have an iPhone (or any electronic device) nearby when in the shower.
I have a cheap battery operated clock in the bathroom. When it (inevitably) gets wet, I buy a new one.
Even if you did decide to use a clock app on your phone in the bathroom, unless you take excessively long showers, how much battery could you really use by leaving the phone awake?

  • Clock always visible on app e.g. Mahjong Game

    Hi.  When using e.g. a games app like Mahjong, I'd like the clock to be visible without having to use the Windows key+C or similar.  Is it possible please?

    Hi,
    What you want is a add-in\plug-in in the game, I'm afraid that it's unavailable from a enduser side, I suggest you submit a suggestion to the developer\vender of the game.
    If the game app is installed from Windows Store, you can launch the app, then move the mouse to the right charm bar, click "Settings"\Rate and Review, submit your comments

  • I usually turn me iphone 4s at night to conserve battery, however last oct 19 it has restarted when i turn if off.and it still happens til now.

    i usually turn me iphone 4s at night to conserve battery, however last oct 19 it has restarted when i turn if off.and it still happens til now.
    returned it to carrier for check up but after resetting, restoring and updating the ios, still not fixed.
    requested for replacement, but they said it might not be approved beacause the charging port has been burned(as per them).
    i didn't know how it got burned but this was never been overcharged nor had been contacted with water.
    my battery drains very fast, at 1am, it was 47% when i wake up around 8am it goes down to 20%.

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • How can I make the status bar always visible in safari?

    How can I make the status bar always visible in safari? Even when I go to "View" and then select "show status bar," the status bar still disappears unless my cursor is hovering over it. I want to be able to see the time, battery life etc. while surfing the web in safari!

    When Safari is in FullScreen mode, menu bar will be hidden.
    Safari window to fit the screen?
    Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the Safari window.
    Double arrows will appear. Drag it to resize the window to fit the screen.

  • Does the alarm clock drain the iPhone 4 battery?

    My iPhone 4 battery drains overnight and I was wondering if the alarm clock has something to do with it. If this is not the case, is there a way to not have the battery drain overnight?
    Please let me know of anything you know to conserve battery life as much as possible.
    _

    Leaving it overnight without charging will use small amount of battery. Reason is that it is still connected to a 3G network which draws some power to maintain a good reception. Anything not in sleep mode will use some battery.
    To conserve battery life as much, just keep it in the charger overnight. It will not harm the battery as when the phone is fully charged, the charging stops.
    I normally keep my phone in my charger when I'm home, but when I go out somewhere I unplug it.

  • How do I conserve battery power. Think I need to delete recently used icons but don't know hpw

    How do I conserve battery power by deleting recently used icons but don't know how

    The recently used icons represent exactly that - apps you have used recently. The icons on the list do NOT mean that the apps are still running. The only apps that continue to run, and might be profitably quit from this list are those which are still playing the music you will be listening to, or GPS apps.

  • IOS 7 Clock always on timer

    I love the new shrtcut by swiping up which gives you quick access to Torch, Clock, Calculator, Camera. However when I open the clock it always starts with the timer screen, but if go into clock from the normal home screen it will open on whatever I have used last.
    I use the stopwatch about 15 times a day and so it is a little annoying to always open on Timer.
    Can I change this?

    If you use the clock app it still works like in iOS 6. If you use the control center short cut it always defaults to timer. It doesn't make sense, really.
    I got rid of the the clock on my home screen because it is now in control center as I felt it was redundant. Now I am considering bringing it back because I use my clock a lot and it does get annoying after a while. I did the same thing with my camera app. That would be like the camera defaulting to panoramic mode every time you access it from control center.
    Here's hoping for a fix.

  • Scroller always visible

    Hallo, i need a little help. I have a component List and i want the scroller of this List to be always visible even if in disable mode. Now it is only visible when there many lines and it is ok, but i wish to see it even if it is not usable... How can i do it??
    Thx for all
    Max

    I'm having a similar problem over two days still not finding a good solution.
    Using Flash Builder 4.5 Burrito Hero SDK for MobileApplication.
    Scroller with a TextArea beyond the bounds of the scroller.
    The scroller is black and nearly invisible?! In fact it is invisible so no one knows it might be content off screen to scroll.
    Really it would make more sense to be invisible after you start scrolling? duh
    Anyway you can try stuff like this...
    contentScroller.verticalScrollBar.setStyle("skinClass", Class(VScrollBarSkin));
    contentScroller.verticalScrollBar.setStyle("autoThumbVisibility", false);
    contentScroller.setStyle("verticalScrollPolicy", "on");
    contentScroller.verticalScrollBar.visible = true;
    contentScroller.verticalScrollBar.alpha = 1.0;
    but the Scrollbar is always faded out until you actually start draging it then in fades in.
    I just want it to be visible so a user understands there is something there to scroll?!! but it's basically imposible.
    ScrollPolicy is just about if it's bigger then the bounds normally which is fine but it does not address this mobile faded out problem at all.
    Please somebody there explain how this is usful.
    Further I'm not seeing with the TextArea disabled the inherient ability to drag the text = scroll area around with presumable your finger in Mobile land as one would expect as default so I guess there's all kinds of comvoluted dragging bubbling to pass on or something... mybe I'll find something to set to true, lets hope it takes less then two+ days to make the thing visible in the first place.

  • N82 Playing Video (Conserve Battery Consumption)

    I noticed when I'm watching movies in Real Player for almost an hour, the backlit keypad are still on.
    I hope in the in the next firmware, the keypad will turn off during video playback for almost a few minutes just to conserve battery.
    Cheers

    Yes I already know this since I started at N80 but I think it will help reduce the battery consumption if the keypads are off even on dark places when you watch movies for almost an hour or beyond...

  • RE1000 - SSID Always Visible, No Internet

    Pros: Easy setup
    Cons: While clearly in range of router, Extender does not connect to the Internet; my laptop can connect to the router with four bars from the same location and get the Internet.
    SSID is always visible.
    Other Thoughts: Cisco should sell Linksys so that the products can be good again. Why do big companies by successful ones only to screw up their products?

    The RE1000 is meant to extend the range of an 802.11n network. While the device has the ability to extend the signal for a traditional 802.11g router. The reason for this is because the RE1000 is built to extend 2.4 Ghz 802.11n signals which use MIMO as well as other advanced technologies, if attempting to extend a G network you will not achieve the desired performance because it is not optimized to extend standard 802.11G signals.
    Remember that the RE1000 will only extend the 2.4Ghz frequency. Meaning that if you have a router that is dualband you can only use an extender on the 2.4Ghz channel. The 5 Ghz channel does not currently have an Extender available for it. Since some dual band routers have the ability to select which frequency you want activated. Always make sure 2.4 Ghz is enabled if you are having troubles configuring.
    Possibly try and use the Setup Utility and make sure the RE1000 is close to the router when first setting it up. The utility will test your network performance through the setup.
    Remember to quickly get to the RE1000 after it has been setup, you can click on Computer > Network > then look in network infrastructure to see the RE1000. Double Clicking it will launch the setup page.
    Lastly and most importantly, remember that in order to get the best performance from an RE1000 you need to place the extender in an area where you still have at least 50% signal strength to your router when you place it in the final location where the RE1000 will be used. During every call where you configure the RE1000 you will need to login to the UI after you have put the RE1000 in the final location to verify the signal strength.
    For ALL configurations you should have between 2-3 bars of signal at the very least. If you have less you will need to move the RE1000 closer to the router. You can also check the status on the status page of the RE1000 as well. On the status page both Signal Strength and Signal Quality can be measured. If either set of bars is red you must move the RE1000 closer to the Router.
    Also, let me know which brand of Router are you using and what is the exact configuration of your router, so that we can understand the same in a better way....

  • Make Conky always visible

    Hi!
    I want to make conky to be always visible and not allow my windows to overlay it. Here are my conky settings:

    I`m using Openbox. I`ve set margins in rc.xml so that maximized windows won`t overlay it, and that helped. But still, if i move something over it, conky stays below that window.
    Any ideas?

    FYI:
    own_window_type desktop
    overrides anything in
    own_window_hints ...
    try 'own_window_type normal' and see if your hints work then.
