a few suggestions for the next update
- 12hour clock
- the time out is not saved when the phone is restarted
- when receiving a call, i have to manually deactivate the screensaver, a nice automatic deactivation would be nice

Scratch this part of the first comment:
“- For instance as i said if i have the timeout set to 10s and i’m calling someone - if the call is not answered in there 10s then Clockss activates (the call continues and i have to manually unlock Clockss to end the call).
- The same happens if I’m in a call.”

The only issue related to calls is the “missed call” behaviour.

Put an About in the popoup menu of the program so i can see what version if the program i have installed at the moment ! (the same goes for StickIt too:)

Respect.

But has some minuses though. (I have version 0.4 on SE G900 and keep it set with “10s total partial”)
- The first one is the fact that the timeout periods are not on everybody’s needs. I for one see the 10 sec as too little cause if i’m typing an sms and thinking a little or calling somebody it locks. Also the next available period is way too much - 1min. The best thing to do is to create an input for seconds and let the user select from 10s to 600s (=10mins) whatever value he wants.
For me an ideal would be 20s

- Also another bugging issue is the fact that it doesn’t seem to recognize correctly the inactivity state of the phone.
For instance as i said if i have the timeout set to 10s and i’m calling someone - if the call is not answered in there 10s then Clockss activates (the call continues and i have to manually unlock Clockss to end the call).
The same happens if ‘m in a call.
Also if i have a missed call (Clockss is activated) and press call for that person then the call window is activated in the background, beneath Clockss and the only way to end the call is by unlocking Clockss first.
A normal behaviour here would be either to automatically unlock on making the call and relock on closing the call OR to give priority to the calls and put the calls window on top of the Clockss one, thus when ending the calls the Clockss to be already active.

- And another thing that would be much welcomed would be the possibility to keep the screen lit up at minimum brightness after activating. Thus the clock will be visible all the time - just as at the rest of the SonyEricssons that aren’t UIQ.

These 3 changes would make the application a lot more user friendly.

Eitherway you have my respect for the app and the fact that you made it freeware.
Regards.

I was wishing just this morning that my P1i had a small clock on the status bar (the P900 had it, but it’s missing here), and your program is simply brilliant.

Only wish the position of the small clock on the status bar was not so far to the left, as it covers the wifi & internet indicators… Any chance of moving it a bit more to the right? say, right next to the batter indicator?

Now that LongCuts and GDesk is available, ClockSS becomes the champion screensaver that can be invoked by these two , plus it takes very little memory .. better than java version ..

The main problem with clockss is that it’s not a real screensaver, it does not intergrate well into the system (due to lack of documentation, the problem with capabilities, and so on). So this is the best I could make. Also due to lack of time I don’t really work on this anymore However hopefully some day somebody will continue my work, or do a similar app, and then he/she can use your comments/ideas.

1] SEVERE> the user/hardware button on M600i does not get locked when in standard locked mode - when accidentally pressed it kills the ClockSS and goes to standby…

2] HINT> the options don’t save after restart, it all needs to be set up again {like clock type - takes ages and is annoying}

3] WISH>
*optional message {location}when keys pressed - at the moment it covers the clock {M600i}
*optional background would be nice of course

+THANKS A LOT FOR THIS LOVELY CLOCKSS!!!
