Glance Screen 3.6.1.13

Those who own a Nokia Lumia handset can enjoy quite a few useful functions that are offered by the operating system and most of them are made to facilitate the access to a variety of details that are most important for any user.

For instance, one of the seemingly unsophisticated features that is built-in Lumia devices, Glance Screen, continues to evolve and brings forth a neat set of abilities that are aimed at active users, who want to get a lot of information in one glimpse.

Simple look, with a very practical touch

The application can come into view each time you pass your hand over the screen when the device is locked and it can bear as its background the same photo you are currently using for your lock screen.

The difference is that Glance Screen is able to display that picture in color or in black and white, depending on your preferences. Even is the screen is dimmed the details presented by this app will be visible without efforts.

Background customization on the fly

In case you want to have more than the time and date shown while the Glance Screen is active, you can easily pick the notifications which are shown. Thus, you can have the basic info and also the detailed data in the same view for the apps selected to show notifications via the lock screen settings area.

A neat trick up the sleeve of Glance Screen is the ability to adapt to nighttime in a clever manner. To be more precise, in the interval you specify (22:00 - 7:00 by default) the background photo can be hidden, the screen dimmed and the text displayed in red, green or blue.

To make sure your battery will not discharge very quickly, make sure you do not leave Glance Screen active at night and use the "peek" time out setting, because the "always on" and "interval" modes are power drainers.

Extended information through third-party apps

Since it is a system component, the utility integrates seamlessly with the lock screen and depends on it to an important extent, especially insofar as the applications chosen to present their detailed status.

In case you choose as lock screen provider a certain utility installed onto your Windows Phone, you will have to check and see if it is compatible with Glance Screen, because if it is not, you will not be able to receive its messages.

The most commonly used apps, like the calendar, Hotmail or Facebook can show their details on the Glance Screen, alongside the missed calls and received messages.
