finally, for those of us who really like the floating clock on the T68

Doesn't seem to be available for download yet.

Well it's certainly there now.

Looks ok, but if you run Sman and have it close all tasks when you shut the flip, it gives an error message, but still runs...perhaps a bug that can be worked out?

Anyhow, I don't think I'll be using this....who wants to register for a clock? :/

$15 is a bit much for a clock. If it were $5 I might give it a go.

Regarding the sman problem, if you take a snapshot of loaded tasks with the screensaver clock task on the list, it should stop sman from auto-ending on flip-close.

I agree. They've over priced it!

It's quite a useful piece of software. It works in both flip modes, and confronts neither with the Tracker screensaver/lock, nor the original power saver. So far so good.

Nevertheless, it's a bit early to call it version 1.00. Look at the task list (with Tracker, SMan, etc.) when the Psiloc screensaver is running. There are five or even more instances of "Screen Saver Service", each consuming 60 or more Kbytes. Then try to switch to one of the instances on the list, see what happens.

A server must not show up on the task list, and surely not in several instances. Apparently they are not having their product beta-tested, or not by the proper people...

Looks great, works... ...well, not so great

the way how it leaves it running as multiple versions is annoying.

the idea is great, but i'd prefer it if it had a lock function, like Trackers lock scren or ScreenCover.

the digital clock, in digtal skin looks good.
if it didnt dissappear as soon as the screen is pressed, i'd use it.

I agree. Its useless without a lock feature. With a lock l would buy it for twice the price...

Useless..? lolll
Just because you don't use the P800 without flip... otherwise is it no problem!
Just use it as screensaver with automatic keypad locking.

I think it looks great but I am still amused that T68/T68i/T610 want to get rid of their clocks and P800 owners were really keen to get one!

definitly agree that it is overpriced

OK, I'm using my P800 with the flip and this screen saver works & the device lock does activate. The options under the Display settings under the Control Panel still apply. The only thing that bugs me is the backlight activating everytime the screen saver comes on. I want an option to have the backlight not come on.

Well Blue8300, it's useless to me. I don't see what's so funny.

Posted by tylast
I just noticed that the colors don't rotate and position of the clock doesn't change (with the flip closed). That's not much of a screen saver.

Has anyone else had problems trying to uninstall this app??

I cant find it in the uninstall menu!

Posted by Dazultra2000
It comes under psiNT something.

I managed to uninstall it....but it's still there :\

Anger. I hate this "software"

I have to admit, and I'm not one for barging into arguments or debates on here with a dangerous opinion of my own, but it really does appear to be a totally useless and crap bit of 'software' (I liked that inverted commas thing that other chap who posted used!).
The part that's useless and crap is the price! I think a more reasonable price would have been 0. To be quite frank, it isn't even worth that! Psiwhatevertheirfaceis should really get a grip of themselves!

Hmm, my backlight does not come on when screen saver activates, it just stays dark,meaning I could see the screen saver coming on but with the backlight off. I would kike to have the light come on so I could see the screen saver. Whats the sense of having a cool screen saver if u cant really see it. Is there a problem with my phone or others screen savers activate the same way.

Interesting to try, but I think it's only betaware.

After 3 days I found it seemed to have taken control of the phone - it interfered with a number of functions, and I got sick of having to open the flip to read my reminders.

I discovered that although the phone shows the correct time, the analog clock saver started getting slower each day, and it's now 37 minutes behind. Pretty useless at present, so I've uninstalled it.

Dear Sir/Madam,

About bug with opening several times the app it's solved and version without this bug will be viable even tomorrow. About unlock this problem will be solved in a days.
Price- sorry but the developers and stores and so on won't they paycheck
Backlight it a strange problem because we can make anything with it, for our phones we do not have this problem. People with this problem- could you write with this problem to support@psiloc.com add your firmware please.
