Weird slight problem... hmm...
hey I'm new to this site.. 🙄 I'm sure this will sound odd or weird, but I've had my phone about a month now and i just noticed that it sometimes lights up on it's own when it's closed. While it's closed and it sometimes lights up the inside and outside screens are lit, and most times the inside stays lit while the outside light goes off... I've especially noticed this when i charge it. Has anyone else noticed this too?!?! 😕 i don't want to have to return the phone since i already have a lot of downloaded content on it and i wouldn't want to have to pay for it all over again... any help and/or solutions would be great! 🙂

I've noticed this too. I've seen it at night, when I push a side button to find the time. I've noticed that the light goes off after a minute. If you open and close it, it will go off immediately. I agree with you...totally wierd.

I came across this issue on another message board. Apparently there is some sort of bug in the SW that controls the display timeout. Their work around solution was to turn it off by going to Settings/Initial Setup/Display Timeout.
I can't find the original post now, but I copied to the text for reference. It is pasted below:
"I was having the same problem with my V551, but I noticed it was reported on this forum before, and the "fix" worked for me. Here is it: go into Settings > Initial Setup and changed "Display Timeout" to Off. I haven't had the problem since changing that setting. The display never turns totally off as long as the flip is open, but the backlight still turns off. And when the phone is closed, it definitely turns o...

well i tried and my external display still randomly lights up... though the internal screen has not which i guess is good... but i can't tell if it has effected my battery life... i usually charge it every 2-3 days or as soon as i drain it which usually takes me about 2-3 days of regular use... any other infor would be great from anyone else that may have noticed it too... thanx again...

I've taken it as some querky electronic gremlin that is making this happen. Going to add a little humor to this so don't take it the wrong way...but how do you know the lights are on inside when it is closed??? Kind of like the refridgerator light delemia. Is it on when you close it??? Hehehe 😁

i can see the light shining through the edge of the phone while it's closed and the external LCD is slightly lit, but not with the blue backlight... funny though... has nayone else noticed their phone to randomly light up?
And also i just noticed that the transfer data icon comes on every once in a while too... I have the unlimited internet so i'm not too worried about that either... its the longevity and relyability of the phone more to me now... Just wanted to see if anyone else was coming across these too or has even noticed them...
I'm contimplating getting the V635 when it's available...
