V600 - External Display

The external display on my V600 by default shows the Motorola logo. It only
changes briefly when the phone rings.

It doesn't show missed call or any other information. Is there any way of
changing it so it displays something useful like the time by default?

I've RTFM and looked through the menus but can't find anything.

Cheers

Mine shows the logo only when the flip is open, otherwise I get time and
status displays and CID. Sounds like a problem worth calling Motorola
about.

Here's a really strange thing!

If i lightly press the case to the right of the little 'mirror' on the
front, the external display lights up and i can see the time and the signal
level?

Is this a 'feature'?

I've tried that on mine and nothing happens. I doubt its a feature.
My V600 and my wifes both show the time, signal, battery etc when closed.
I'd go with what BruceR said and contact Motorola.

If you open your phone & look below the screen on the right - there's a
lump, when the phone is closed this presses against a button just under te
hinge, which then activates the external display. if yours is only working
when you press it down then your phone is faulty & you need it seen to, as
your phone thinks it is "open" all the time.
