Lock screen Question

[nyyankees8175]

I'm curious, on some droid devices. I noticed when you go to lock the screen it like shuts off like a tv idk if anyone knows what I'm talking about. I guess you root them for them to do that. But then I started watching some videos on the Nexus and I noticed it did it? Is that a stock feature?

Yes. It is a stock Android 2.3 gingerbread feature. Some phones don't have it because the manufacture (eg.HTC) removed it.

sent from my Droid X, which also eats iPhones.

I have a Droid 2 Global and it doesn't have it. I heard about it before my phone got the update and I was really excited to have it but was severely disappointed when it wasnt there. I've seen it on other phones and it looks sweet.

I know this isn't directly tied to the original post but I was thinking about the lock screen and how you can slide it to directly to open the camera. I think it would be cool if that was customizable such that you could have three apps on your lock screen of your choice. You then could slide the lock and go directly to any of them. Let's say I wanted the browser, text message, and the camera app on my lock screen. I could quickly slide to either one of those to go directly to that app without having to unlock the phone and then find the app and open it. Any thoughts on that? And sorry nyyankees for getting off topic.

That's possible with apps like Widget Locker

That's because the droid 2 has blur and not stock android.

Razr has the TV looking effect and the straight to camera unlock feature.

So does the D3. Well the TV effect anyway.

Yes, the crt animation is on ics as well. I can't find the video now, but it was a short hands on and at the end he specifically pointed out the GN did that.

The thing that depresses me is that, pretty soon, none of the younger generation will even know what that animation is meant to be, having never had a CRT TV... other than maybe something out of old sci-fi movies!

Where? I've tried to find it and I can't seem to.

Sorry, that was in reference to the post about having custom apps on the lockscreen... Edited for clarity

Ah okay, yeah I have People, Messages, and Camera on mine. Makes the most sense to have those on the lockscreen.
