ScreenDimmer 1.45 – support for iOS 4.0

Yllier — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 11:13:10 +0000

ScreenDimmer has been updated and does now support the iOS 4.0 :). Also improvements have been mate to offer a great experience with backgrounding (both native and Backgrounder).

if you don’t know about ScreenDimmer:
ScreenDimmer can help you to save battery life by automatically dimming your device’s screen after a pre-defined time; or if you wish by turning the backlight off.

Most users suffer unnecessary battery drain while having their iPhone not on standby. Setting auto-lock to a short time makes it better, but is an inconvenience most of the time due to permanent locking and unlocking while waiting for something.

ScreenDimmer is the solution for this problem: Save battery life by reducing the backlight to a minimum if the device hasn’t been used for a pre-defined time and reduce the waste of the most energy consuming component, the backlight, of the iPhone or iPod.

Free yourself from worrying about locking your device

Autolock is sometimes annoying. Most users use to set a long time interval until locking or even have disabled autolocking. Only problem: this consumes a lot of battery, especially if autolocking is disabled. But now there will be an app for that: ScreenDimmer

From now on it doesn’t matter if you forget to lock your device or your device is laying next to you waiting until autolock kicks in, cause ScreenDimmer will dim your iDevice’s screen after a user-defined time, saving lots of battery. A simple touch will bring the display back to live.

In case you are running an app which needs the screen to stay “alive”: ScreenDimmer handles this automatically (for example Navigon, VideoPlayback, …)

ScreenDimmer is being developed by Crash-X (3G Unrestrictor) and Yllier (Firewall iP).

Features

dims your device’s screen
you set the time interval
doesn’t dim when the battery is charging
doesn’t dim when an app needs an active screen
