I had to uninstall eSpeak Time after installing Timenow. The espeak man would tell the time far too often, sometimes just randomly without being desired to.

It was a hard decision to make. eSpeak Time is very useful for not having to get the phone out to check the time, but Timenow in conjunction with the Harmattan Concept screen of QTLockscreen really made dealing with the lockscreen practical when the N900 was docked in my car while driving.

Only just discovered this. Works a treat. I use a case and Timenow makes checking the time a pleasure. Many thanks.

unfortunately I can't do anything about espeaktime as timenow by definition fakes a powerbutton press. If you can configurem espeaktime to fire on power button double click or something it could solve this problem.

when i touch proximity sensor it lights up screen immediatly. is there anyway to increase time to 2 or 3 seconds before activating screen ?

Not directly, but increasing the interval in the configuration file will have this sideffect. However, I have to build (or if somebody is kind enough to do it) the source from github, with the patch from cantruchd so that this is more reliable.

I've ended up uninstalling timenow, solely because it espeaktime would tell me too many times what time it was, and in situations where i wanted to phone to be quiet.

However,

showed timenow as not having been completely uninstalled, so I purged it. In addition, although I am quite reluctant to blame timenow, pressing the power button does not show the lockscreen every time anymore; I don't know if it started with uninstalling timenow, I am merely trying to narrow down the cause.

Not trying to imply the implementation is perfect, it is sure far from, but the power button issue I think is a general N900 issue, I had it forever. I always double click the powerbutton.

I see, thanks. Well I didn't have the issue before. Pressing twice would work, but again I have espeaktime, so if the first press happens to work the phone will say the time even when I don't want it to.

But thanks for your work on timenow, I'd love to install it again, but I need the time voice when I'm driving etc. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
