Clock Size Question--

Aksarben

Jul 16, 2005, 6:54 PM
I just spent 45 frustrating minutes in a VZW retail store waiting to be helped only to end up with a salesperson who has no clue how this phone (8100) works. He tried to tell me that once the phone was activated that the clock would be larger in the screen, which I find hard to believe. They didn't have a working demo to try either which didn't make me happy.

Anyway my question is the following-

Is there any way to make the clock on the external as well as internal screen larger than they are in the tiny red bar across the bottom? This size doesn't work too well for those of us with bifocals.

I asked the same thing. Somewhere I saw the clock in a large format, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how it was done. Maybe it was a hack. Nowhere in menu.

If I can't make the clock larger then that might rule this phone out. I don't have terrible eyesight but I do wear bifocals nowadays and even with them this clock is hard to read. I do wear a watch all of the time too but I do depend on the phone clock too.

OK I'm glad to hear that. I don't have the phone yet but how did you change the exterior size?

I understand your problem. I feel the same way. You might try changing the wallpaper to a lighter background to give the black clock numerals a little more contrast. It's no substitute for LARGER numbers, though!! 😡

chichi85: How did you change the size of the clock? I know it can be done, because I have seen a pic with a large external clock.

I was able to look at this phone this morning at a VZW store and I think if you go to "Tools" and then select option 6, then select outside/exterior clock and select normal it will be a little larger than what it shows in the red bar on the bottom of the display. I was unable to see this though as the phone was not active so it wouldn't "enlarge".

Aksarben: Thanks. I have seen a pic somewhere. can't remember where, where the clock was about 1/2" in height. It cannot be changed to that in the menu. Maybe it was a production model. Going to have to call LG, but in previous calls about phone, they were no help.

Is it really that big of a deal? That is like getting mad at McDonalds because your Big Mac did not look like the picture!! 🙄

It is when you have to put glasses on to read it.

Mine are only for reading. Can't see to drive with reading glasses. Might hit the back of your car.
