keeping the front panel on on my vx8300?

How can I keep the front panl of my phone on at all times? The concept of turning off the front panel bugs me. I don't mind turning off the backlight but I use my phone as a watch too.

Is there a hack I can do to fix this?

So far I'm disappointed in this phone. It';s totally difficult to deal with compared to my last two phones.

Nope None That I Have Found Yet It Was Explained To Me That This Is A Battery Save Feature. Kinda Sucky Though I Agree.
