Does anyone know of a way to make the external rocker switch on the
Samsung activate the external LCD clock when there is NOT a message
waiting? The external LCD is useless without "lighting up", but there
is no way to make it do this unless you have a new message or an
incoming call... Would be really nice to be able to use the clock.

Just hold the volume select switch down for about 2 seconds! I
initially had the same "problem, which is not mentioned in the manual.

Patience is a virtue... Never would have thought to hold it down...

If you take your VGA1000 to a Sprint PCS store and have its software
updated to WL15, then you need only tap the side key to make the display
light up. Check your version with Menu-8-0-down arrow. Yours is
probably WG09.

Frank: Thanks for the tip about the software update. The version in
my VGA1000 is indeed WG09. Actually, I'm not even sure I want the
ext. LCD backlight to come on every time I accidently bump the phone,
but might try to have the firmware updated the next time I'm by a
Sprint store anyway. BTW, are there any other changes to the lastest
code that you know about? Thanks
