This is a request that we change the following param /etc/sipxpbx/snom/phone.xml
<profileName>contrast$</profileName>
to this:
<profileName>contrast!</profileName>
Snom is somewhat confusing in how it handles contrast. The setting in its config file doesn't seem to be used by the phone at all. When I restart the phone it always goes back to an apparent default setting, regardless of the sipx setting. And when I change the contrast from the phone's front panel, and then restart the phone, the contrast also goes back to its 'default' setting.
Also, the snom documentation (
http://wiki.snom.com/Settings/contrast) says the following about the Contrast setting: "Determines the display contrast, but should not be used, because each phone reacts differently to it depending on the temperature etc. Its better to set it manually." However, the way sipxconfig currently sets the 'contrast' param doesn't allow changes from the phone itself to survive a restart of the phone. Currently, the contrast config variable has the '$' flag appended. However, if "!" is appended instead, then contrast changes made from the phone's front panel persist across a reboot. Thus the request above to change the default config setting.
