Samsung E530 - External Screen Question
ResidentSD
06-07-2005
One of my colleagues has just had the new Samsung E530 mobile phone. The external screen shows an analogue clock, but when the phone is closed it stays on for a second and then disapears to show the time digitally. My colleague wants the display to stay with the analogue clock (it does look a lot nicer)

I've had a look round the menus to see if there is anyway to stop it doing this, but I can't see anyway to stop this happening.

Anyone got this phone and know the answer? It's got to be possible - why would you have an external wallpaper if it just disapears as soon as you close the phone!

Basically you cant do it - its just a short screensaver type thing - I'm afraid that you're gonna have to put up with the digital clock instead.

I know a few people who bought the phone who said that the analogue clock on the external display was one of the reasons they got it cos it looked nice.

Shame Samsung didnt take that on when they designed it and made it a permanent feature for the external display.

Thanks for the info kurtosis

It would look loads better with it there all the time, oh well I could always but a cheap analogue watch off the market and super glue it to the front, who knows I may set a new trend! hehe

Thanks again xxx
