mpx220 External Display

[Guest uther]

Is there a way to adjust the timeout of the external LCD display when the phone is closed?

I hate having to open the phone to see if I've missed a call or have text messages.

Ideally, I would like for it to stay on constantly.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Controlpanel/Backlight/CMCS_SLCDTimeout

The default value of 6000 is equal to 6 seconds. 15000 = 15 seconds, 30000 = 30 seconds, etc.

That's great, thanks.

Any chance that the external screen and internal screen can turn on and off separately? When I adjust this registry setting, it also leaves the internal screen on after I close the phone.

I suspect the two cannot be adjusted separately, but if anybody knows of a way...

you know when the phone is closed you can hit the volume up key for a second and the external display will show the message and/or missed call icon if you've received a message or missed a call.

Interesting I'm going to have to check that in detail. On my phone when you close the phone the screen shuts of regardless of timeout. Much like when you are on a call using speakerphone and close the phone it hangs up.
