There isn't a way that I'm aware of. The regular multimedia screen enabled when in the dock will automatically going to the bouncing clock screen saver if you use it. You can back out to the regular home screen and it won't go into screen saver mode but that's it.
Now that the screen goes black, I can't see when a text notification comes in. I have my phone on silent at work. This is unacceptable. I hope there's a solution soon.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it.
You can always touch the little home button on the screen or hit the back button and go to your home screen and it will stay on without going into screen saver mode.
