(Requires internet access permission in order to update weather). If you have a compatible dock any app can 'unlock' your phone, this is Android design. Some third party ROMs do fix this HTC bug.ĭock issues: Please try the new 'Dock (alternative)' activation mode if Dock Clock doesn't launch automatically upon docking. HTC owners: Due to choices made by HTC the hardware buttons on many HTC devices can not be turned off by third party applications using the standard Android API. Dock Clock is optimized for AMOLED screens and fully supports Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). At $90, the Smart Clock 2 is less tempting than the original but since it’ll only be available in September, there’s time to wait till we get a review unit in to tell if the updates are worth the price hike.Like Dock Clock? Check out Dock Clock Plus, every feature you can imagine and more! (Now with selectable 'Dock Clock Free' clock & weather theme)įor night usage (its primary design goal) you customize screen brightness and ringer options including 'soft ring'. While I don’t use wireless charging much and would rather get the clock on its own, I could see myself using it more for things like earbuds and smartwatches. I’ve been a fan of Lenovo’s smart clocks and am happy to see the line get some love, even if it’s in the form of a minor update.

There’s also a microphone mute switch if you’d rather the device not hear you, and as with earlier models, there’s no camera here. You can pick a new dark theme to make the interface easier on your corneas at night, and the Assistant is available for your spoken requests. The rest of the Smart Clock 2’s features are pretty much the same as the original - swipe on the screen to see and set alarms, get the weather forecast, control your smart home devices and more. It emitted a soft glow that wasn’t at all glaring in our conference room, but I can imagine it’d be plenty bright in a dark bedroom. The software control wasn’t available when I checked the Smart Clock 2 out at a recent demo in New York, but the night light did turn on when I popped the device off its charger. Both methods are meant to let you activate the bulb without having to say anything to the Assistant, so you can avoid waking light sleepers when you need illumination for your midnight pee. Lenovo said a software update is coming that will also let you trigger the nightlight by swiping down on the screen. A little tube encircles the device’s base and it lights up when you lift the clock slightly. The left half of this dock is reserved for the clock, which attaches and is powered via pogo pins. There’s also a USB-A socket on the back edge for wired charging, since there is no longer one on the screen’s rear. Whether the mat comes with or you choose to buy it, you’ll be getting a wireless charging surface for your Qi-compatible devices. It’s possible those in the US will only be able to purchase the bundle rather than get the clock on its own for cheaper. It’s not quite clear whether this is included everywhere yet - a press release says this is an optional accessory, but Lenovo told Engadget that the $90 price includes the pad. The most obvious hardware difference on the new Smart Clock is the addition of the wireless charging dock.
