When locked, and any key other than the Unlock key was hit, my old Cingular 2125 would light up and show the time in big characters -- so checking the time was as simple as hitting any button on the phone.
Anyone know of any way to accomplish the same or similar for the BJ II? Thanks |

Just a tip, once a week or so my phone sometimes will not unlock. I would push power, 9 or 1 and then push the unlock soft-key, it pops up a message like normal telling me to press * but after I press star it dims the backlight and goes right back to a locked homescreen. over and over again. If I type in 911 then push the cancel softkey on the emergency call screen, then unlock softkey then * it unlocks fine. Just a tip to anyone whose phone doesnt come unlocked. I used to take the battery out and have to wait for it to boot back up again. Also what would be the point of a screen lock if any key could light it up and run the battery down in your pocket?

If your screen will not unlock, press the (fn) button, I have noticed that the (fn) key still works when the keys are locked. If the (fn) key gets accidentally pressed 2 times, it locks the keys to the (fn) setting ie. a=/ b=# and so on. so when you are trying to press (s) it is actually pressing (*) which, strangely enough, dose not unlock the phone; you have to press (fn) and then press (s) to unlock the phone. This is just my understanding from trial and error. |

When I lock my phone and hit any key, the dim backlight comes on...allowing you to see the homescreen, time and date?
