Cingular Update Problem

Has anyone noticed an annoying difference in the screen while talking on the phone after they updated the CNG firmware (orange)? During conversation, the screen will now periodically turn on and off again, making a clicking noise as it flashes on and off.

It's a feature of the new upgrade. Check the page on the Palm web site for the update. It's detailed right there.

What a stupid design.. according to Palm, if the screen is touched while it is off, it will turn back on. They should have made that feature kick in when the side button or something is pressed rather than the screen which HAS to be right against your face (especially since the sound sucks). I was simply having a conversation in a dark room and whenever touched, it makes an interfering sound and the light coming on and off was sort of startling

I recall reading about software that you can control the screen turning on and off, any users out there? I've heard of Phone Technician but does anyone know of any freeware, like LED off?

i use treoguard. not sure if thats what you want though. it turns the screen off after 1 minute (changeable) and it will turn it back on after you end the call.
