Abstract
A method and system for scenario synchronizing in a communication device allows a user to complete a task initiated or prompted from a secondary display on a primary display. The secondary display provides quick access to useful information such as time, date, battery life, signal strength, new messages and calendar reminders. When the communication device (e.g., a clamshell flip-style device) is opened to access the primary display, a user need not navigate to the specific application to complete the initiated task.
