As subject, anyone know of an app that flashes/fades the screen when on lock to notify of a missed call/sms/email?

Cheers
 
It seems to be a fairly popular request, a status light indicating missed call or incoming message. Though I would not want them to hinder the design to add it so I just press the lock button frequently.
 
You got that right. Almost every Mac user bitches incessantly about something. I've been using Apple since before the days of the Apple //c and I love every minute of it.
 
The most logical thing for them to do, is to make the little Apple :apple: on the back of the phone glow with a single low power LED.
But, Apple is NOT going to do that🙁
 
I suppose it's possible on a jb phone.

I know one jb app that makes your iphone into a clock, and overides the auto-power off (don't ask about battery life).

There are other jb apps that modify the lock screen to show share info, texts, calls, news tickers etc.

If that's possible, then you could certainly have an app that keeps the lock screen on, but with a black screen at lowest backlight and breathes / flashes it every now and then to show missed calls / texts. Or maybe just flicker a spot in one corner.

I'd quite like something like that actually. I jailbroke my 2G iphone a few weeks ago, and while there are some difficulties, it'd be hard for me to accept going back.
