Android 4.2 has a hidden Jelly Bean Daydream

0. phoneArena posted on 15 Nov 2012, 16:39

Yesterday, we told you about a new feature of Android 4.2 called Daydream, which is essentially a screensaver for your Android phone or tablet that is triggered when you set your device to charge, or place it in a dock. Well, it turns out that Google (as it often does) has hidden a big of an Easter egg in the form of a special Jelly Bean Daydream...

I read it as bean flicker for a second. That would be something entirely different haha.

Currently have Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1 and this daydream is active on my phone. Tapped the version and when the large jelly bean shows up, keep finger pressed on the screen for a second.

I never knew there was Easter egg in gingerbread until today! Just tried it!

Htc is the only manufacturer who has disabled the tapping function! You won't be getting jack ish with them, you'll just be tapping away....

I just tried it, and I didn't unlock the daydream after simply viewing the easter egg. I had to hold down on the screen for a second until I felt a vibration. At which point I saw jelly beans all over the screen that were interactive. It was then that I had unlocked the daydream

One BIG issue with the Daydream feature is that LED notifications are automatically turned 'off' while Daydream is active. If it wern't for this bug, Daydream would be an excellent 'screensaver' like feature that allows us to quickly just 'touch' the screen to activate the phone while docked or charging. Fix this Google!
