This is the second pearl (both 8130's) that I've had. With my first pearl I could record video continuously without having to press any buttons to keep the screen lit up so video would continue to record. With my new pearl the video will only record for 10 seconds then the screen goes black (which is obviously what my back light timer is set to) unless I continue to scroll up on the trackball to keep the phone lit up. Does anybody know if there is a setting I need to adjust? Maybe I have a defective phone?
