Sprint DLink & Deluxe Screen Dimming

I just got the DL to go with my Visor Delux, and was pleased with the ease with which I was signed on at the local Sprint store. Made calls with no problem, although the head-set was better than trying to find the ear-piece sweet spot.

First major problem began after I began trying to set up the wireless web functions. I was recharging the battery, and walking through the set-up features on the modem functions, when I noticed the screen starting to dim. At first I thought it was the light in the room, but it soon became apparent that it was not. I synced my Visor to load the Blazer software, and when that was done, the dimness had advanced to the point where the screen was almost unreadable. I removed the DL, tried a reset, restored my data to its pre-sync state, all to no avail. Presently, my screen is very nearly unreadable, and certainly not useable. When I turn it off and then on, the screen briefly flashes with the proper contrast, and then slips back into its murky, muddy, almost-no contrast state.

Is this a known problem with DL? With the DL + the Deluxe? Any known solutions?

I've not noticed that on my VDx with the Digital Link. Can you adjust the contrast at all? Had you installed any apps just prior to setting up the DL?

Ah yes. I had forgotten all about the contrast icon, and was searching (almost in the dark!) through my preference menus, etc. During set-up, either I bumped the contrast icon without noticing it, or some quirk in installation altered it for me. Now that it is reset, it is perfectly fine. Onward I go to attempt the wireless web! Thanks, Nick

I had the exact same problem you are describing, when I was using the Dlink with my VDx. Adjusting the contrast back to normal always fixed the problem.
I have since moved to a Visor Pro and don't have the problem anymore.

I think this has to do with the VDx's lack of true gray-scale support at the OS level. Previous versions of AvantGo caused similar symptoms on mine. I think the 'splash' screen that gets displayed when you first insert the DL uses gray-scales.
