I love StandBy Mode Pro because it makes my phone useful when Im not using it.

Before I get into the Android app, lets explain how StandBy works on the iPhone.

The screen goes dark and you get two square widgets, side-by-side.

On Android, StandBy Mode Pro works the same way.

You get side-by-side square widgets, and you could choose from any widget on the phone.

That gives Android an early advantage.

The app is also smart enough to deactivate StandBy mode when you turn your phone to a portrait orientation.

On the iPhone, StandBy will turn red at night so it doesnt ruin your night vision.

Theres even a Labs section of the parameters for features that are still being cooked up.

If you swipe left you could make StandBy Mode Pro a digital photo frame for your Android phone.

you might alternately play chill instrumental music while watching an endless loop of jellyfish swimming.
