[REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

We all know that the n9 screen is sensitive to screenburns because of the type of led it uses. I want to request an script that makes the notification bar (batery, hour, operator) to hide when using the phone in prolongated times. And then re appear at request, when tapping.

this is neatly implemented in wp7 and it works nicely. I dont to see my battery indicator forever on ny screen and what is worse is that i have already seen people with this issue. So why not avoid it??

remember that the n9 is one of its type, and maybe the last maemo/meego flagship we will ever see and we all want to keep it fit for a long time.

so who says 'me'??

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

We do? This happens?

Has anyone had this happen to their N9? Got pics?

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

Do you have an n9?

try using the browser in landscape and check the left lower corner, you may see a very faint ghost of the battery indicator.

if you dont see it its maybe because you dont have enough time with your n9. I have mine from october and can see a very faint ghost

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

I've had mine since November. I'll check it out.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

I've had mine since before october, no problems like that here.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

it's amoled bug. go to nokia care and replace display for free.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

try viewing on a pure white background, screen burn mainly affects people who leave their phone brightness on max nd the screen on for a long period of time, (most amoled screens of people who leave their screen on max plus always on, suffer from this) you have to look for it to see it, beware. Once you see it, it's hard to un-see. My phone does not have depleted pixels, but I saw it on the lumia 800 at CPW

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

+1 this is one of the best thing windows added to the windows phone Os. Even before windows phone I longed for this feature... Am with you 100%

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.

THIS IS a bad example of it. This one is very bad. Its very hard to pick it up on the camera I think, all it is, is the organic material in the pixels depleting, after showing the same things in the same area. This is why computers have screensaver. Well older monitors anyways. To stop burn in.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

Your display BROKEN! Go to Nokia Care and replace display FOR FREE!

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

i think part of the problem is the wording for the title of the post. For ex. You titled, screensaver for notification bar. A better title would be. :[REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9. as implemented on windows phone. live and learn i suppose.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

Title changed

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

lets hope someone who knows how to do it sees/hears your request... Only thing I dislike about the auto hiding status bar of windows phone, is the fact you cannot choose when to hide and not to hide, eg, hiding when not in use is good, but there should be an option to switch auto hiding off for a while, ie you might be on the internet and want to know if it is slow because of network problems... As of now, microsoft has chosen, always hide when not in use apart from charging I think....

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

The developer of the N9 quicktweak app is Schturman, look him up here, send him a pm.

dcastrog your amoled is defective, once again go to Nokia Care and GET IT REPLACED FOR FREE.

Please everyone stop fanning the fire, some of these threads are getting ridiculous.

I have had my N9 since September 2011 and there have been no issues with it what-so-ever and I've flashed it over 100 times (10 times in the past 2 days alone) All of my errors are user errors, nothing more. Now please stup posting nonsense and uneducated opinions and start posting useful stuff.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

Why would I want to look for a problem if I don't notice it in the first place? If I do that, I am more likely to create it, rather than discover it. I've only had my N9 for 3 months, but I have not noticed any burns on the screen, and if I do, I'll just go to Nokia care and have it replaced. As long as I don't notice it, I won't make any effort to look for it.

I know how to take care of my phone. Only an idiot would keep their phone's screen switched on, on maximum brightness, and only displaying the same thing (ex. a photo, or the news feed, or anything in the phone's interface) for an unreasonable amount of time (like 30 minutes to an hour).

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

I have had my N9 since Sept '11. Only "burn" I notice is on the Switcher HS when "Nothing Open Yet". You can see there are "blotches" but that is it.

I use my N9, for hours and hours on the lowest brightness and have never experienced this issue.

As others have said, yes it may be a nice feature, but get a replacement from Nokia Care

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

I've had my N9 since Oct 2010, and haven't seen any burn effects on my display. And I've abused my device with max brightness & disable screensaver etc. So I would say useless feature.

If you have problems with your device, then go to Nokia Care.

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

So can you provide us a screenshot of the effect in N9?

As your picture is from Samsung device (http://www.fevernet.com/viewthread.php?tid=74246).

Re: [request] Screen saver for the notification bar.
 

I dont have depleted pixels, I saw it on the nokia lumia. I used the photo as an example of what it looks like. -- screen shots cannot capture it. So the creator of the thread would be the best one to ask. I like the status bar auto hiding because I thought its a nice thing to have.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

This Windows phone "feature" is stupid. When I was browsing the web on my Lumia 800 I had to keep tapping the top of my screen (to check whether i lost the connection) whenever the browser was being slow.

Reception indicators should always be there IMO. But I guess if this is possible then more choice is always good.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

@mohannad i think auto hide is good. If there is choice. That is why in an earlier post i said. They should have given a choice to hide sometimes and other not. for me. There are times i dont want to see the status bar. And other times i do. -- people are different and there is no one size fits all in this world. So thats just me. But agreed with you. More choice. Better

2010? rainisto pls :rolleyes:

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

heh, I've been playing with Harmattan devices a bit longer than normal end users.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

Rainisto works for Nokia, if you look around you can find that out about him.

Rainisto don't waste your time responding to people like that.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

"Don't waste your time responding to people like that"

??

Are you serious, what did he do that is wrong ?
When I read 2010 I also thought he made a mistake.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

----------------------

I was going to comment but i held my peace, at first i thought maybe he made a mistake, and ment 2011 Oct, because that seams logical, then after that i thought,

Is Nokia giving us Old technology? from 2010, but then i was like, Better not say anything, because this might make nokia look bad.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

i would say... Nokia cares about its final products so they test them for a while so the end user wouldnt had many problems ;)

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

He works at nokia, a quick google search or a quick tmo seach would reveal this information.

People are so quick to assume people are lying here. So childish.

If you pay attention to rainisto's posts, it's clear he works for Nokia as well.

Re: REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

Good Good All good, I like this answer :)

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

OK, confirmed.
I had this too on my N9. Made in Finland. Nov 2011.
It's like 1/6 of the upper screen is brighter than the rest.
Obvious in bright background.
Using max brighteness from the beginning.
Little bit annoying, but since my N9 was not in guarantee terms (i got it free from IdeasProject), looks like i have to used to this condition forever. :(

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

How come the fact that you won the phone from a competition can remove the guarantee? At least in Finland if the phone is new model, all of the service shops I've been don't even bother to ask for a receipt if it's definitely less than 2 years since the model came out.

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

Previously i also had a free N8 from quiz held by NokiaUK (UK country variant model) and it has a power defect, i went to Nokia Care to ask how they gonna fix it, and they said my N8 doesn't have Indonesian guarantee, so i must pay some technical cost to make it back normal.
Here in Indonesia, if you want to fix a Nokia device, you must have the receipt and the Nokia indonesia guarantee card to gain a free labour work fee and/or parts cost.

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

I always wanted to ask a question like this, I was thinking for example, if a N9 is from china and brought to the UK (Where it was not released) Are they going to fix it for free.

I had an experience with Sony (Sony Ericsson) where i claimed on the warranty, they asked me to send the phone, and they turned back and say, it is unrepairable but if i want the phone back, I must pay for labour and stuff, I let them have the phone, but i did not think it was worth it, Later on, i find out all the phone needed was to be flashed. But they gave me wrong analysis data, they said the resin was broken. it was Very cold when the phone just randomly turned off and when starting up, it failed to come on, only showing me a white screen, but all it needed was to be reflashed.

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

thanks for confirming, could you please show us a picture of it? thanks!

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

After few days reading ebook using fbreader, I realize now that the status bar has burned in and it's visible when something else come on top of it. Well, it's not that bad as status bar is always visible anyway but some hiding-feature could be great.

Re: [REQUEST] Auto hiding status bar for nokia N9 as implemented on windows phone.
 

One year later and same old problem. I want to hide the status bar from a few applications. For example FBreader because I sometimes read in the dark and the bright white fonts are disturbing.
Is there now a solution for this, for example toggle via a desktop icon, or is my best bet to contract the developers of the applications?
