in response to the determining step, generating an audio signal.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising:
determining that a multi-screen device has been connected to a power source for charging a battery of the multi-screen device when the multi-screen device is in a stand-by mode, wherein the multi-screen device comprises a first screen and a second screen;
in response to the determining step, activating at least one of the first screen or the second screen;
displaying on the at least one of the first screen and the second screen a battery charging indicator; and
after the displaying step, returning the multi-screen device to stand-by mode after a first predetermined period of time.
11 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising:
highlighting a portion of the at least one of the first screen and the second screen while the multi-screen device is connected to the power source.
12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein in response to the determining step and when the multi-screen is in a closed position, activating the first screen.
13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein in response to the determining step and when the multi-screen is an opened position, activating the first screen and the second screen.
14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising:
determining that the multi-screen device has been disconnected from the power source.
15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the battery charging indicator is displayed until the determining that the multi-screen device has been disconnected from the power source.
16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising:
displaying on at least one of the first screen and the second screen, an estimated time until full charging of the battery.
17 . A dual screen communication device, comprising:
a first touch sensitive display on a first screen;
a second touch sensitive display on a second screen;
a computer readable medium that stores computer executable instructions that when executed by at least one processor perform a method comprising:
determining that the dual screen communication device has been connected to a power source for charging a battery of the dual screen communication device while the dual screen communication device is powered on;
in response to the determining:
displaying on the first touch sensitive display a battery charging indicator; and
