Somehow Nokia Lumias are managing to have an always on screen using plain ol LCD and not OLED tech... apparently the battery drain is minimal something like 1% a day.... the author reckons that it's something to do with the screen brightness being really reduced or something...

Is this possible to implement with the Truesmart because this would really be a killer feature!!!

The nearest i could find was clock view, this allows you just to show the time with a mainly black screen and with the brightness turned right down...

Im going to see how much of a drain it is, but the backlight is still on so prolly plenty; Thing is on a lumia the battery is gonna be pretty bad compared to a smartwatch so a days worth of battery is good for a phone but terrible for a watch..
