LG VX-8000
Front Display

I upgraded from a vx 4400 to the 8000 and a disappointing part of the phone is that the front display goes completely dark after a few seconds...it stays bright for a few seconds, then dims then goes completely dark. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep it lit (but slightly dimmed) at all times?
The 8000 has a high resolution color display and requires back lighting to display enough contrast. Most all new color cell phones are that way now. The 4400 was only a 7 color low resolution display. If the back lighting on the 8000 was on all the time, the battery would be quickly drained! ☹️
Except for seeing who is calling, and the back-light automatically comes on then anyway, ...

However, I have leared to adapt. You just hit any button (I usually hit the round one on the front) and the display lights up. It's a much cooler display being hi-res so I don't mind the trade off.
