I get it that it's the most convenient way to check the time. But I also know that it's a good way to get your phone stolen.

how so mate?

nah OP when the screens off, your phone wants to sleep.
all it takes is to pull phone out, tap home button, read time then put it back in pocket :)

If you're in an area where the bad guys prey on tourists, you shouldn't keep you wallet in your back pocket, but everyone knows that. What some people don't realize is that by pulling out your phone frequently, you're showing pickpockets and smash-and-grab artists where you keep your phone. Also, you may leave the zipper or snaps on your pants or backpack pocket open because checking the time is such a quick operation. It takes only a second to lose your phone.

hmm true.
I'm not one for wearing jewelry; I have freakishly thin wrists in relation to my forearms so haven't worn a watch since the age of eight.
Even my wedding ring is going to be a tattoo :)
I always use my phone as my timepiece and in my area, being stabbed is just a random risk one learns to live, or die, with.

(how was my spelling, grammar and punctuation there btw? mark it for me lol i tried hard for u) :)

EDIT grr tapatalk removed my space at the start of paragraphs so that doesnt count :)

glue a tiny watch with the straps turned off to the backplate... start a trend :)

Beautiful, Funk. And anything written after you've had a fight with an app or a spell checker or what not...anything written after that doesn't count.

You lose points for that icky green though.

As for the op, what you could do is set the lock screen wall paper as a solid black, put the clock on it and set your screen to never time out. Also, carry a few batteries...

lol its "avatar green", due for a new skin.

can you set the lockscreen timeout?
i pure dont see the problem in pulling the phone out, pressing home button to check clock on lockscreen then putin it back in pocket....
maybe theres an app that speaks the time when you shake the phone?

No but you can get an app that will take you to the lock screen without turning the phone off

I doubt the cpu would be going full blast. I would go with as low as possible. It really doesn't have to do much... But the gpu would be working a bit
