Tell me a harbour fitting solution, that prevents the screen from blanking! :) Also getting this information in a harbour conform way could be a bit difficult. ;-)
But outside Jolla harbour it should not be a problem.

Enable that app to always keep the screen active without blanking it so it should do that job for you.

So, you have to look at the screen, work out which page it is on and then take some special action dependent on that page. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9YGtW274GI and you will see the clock, > 3g level and wifi level and then just release and you back in current > application.

I don't move my hands off the keyboard to touch it -- I am not even consciously doing the task of "checking my phone". I also often glance at it while on a non-handsfree call which has become a longer call than I expected -- while talking and listening I can quickly move the phone into view, check it isn't about to run down on me and return it to my ear without the other person noticing. There are three key pieces of information which must be available at a glance: is there signal?, how is the battery?, have there been any missed calls? Note: I spend a lot of time on conference calls of an hour or so, usually using a desk phone -- I often do not remember whether I missed any calls on my mobile while I was on a conference call. Nor do I always remember to check when the call finishes (often rushing to get a glass of water or go to the toilet before the next call starts). So, having all three things visible whenever my eyes stray from my screen to my phone is very important. > Seriously, just because everyone copycats each other in that area it > doesn't mean it can be done different. Indeed. But just because a UI feature looks nice doesn't mean it is necessarily practical. I am not a UX person, but I strongly suspect the Jolla team need to do more user testing, with more varied types of users, in this area. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
