In your last post you referenced the quote: "That only adjusts the Brightness, not the Contrast". You then proceeded to tell EricG he was wrong. If you read the post immediately above that, by VisorKing, you will see that the he said you can adjust the contrast WITHOUT changing the date.

Therefore, EricG was completely correct in what he said. That only changes the Brightness, not the Contrast.

Hummmm

So what you are saying is that If you hold and let go of the power button you can adjust brightness but if you hold and don't let go of the power button you adjust contrast?

Don't try it!

I would NOT recommend that you try to adjust the contrast while holding down the power button. Instead, use the SG maneuver previously described.

I experimented with this - adjusting the brightness slider while holding down the power button - just a minute ago. It didn't seem to have any effect beyond the ordinary change of brightness (ie, not contrast - I really think only the SG maneuver adjusts contrast). But when I then tried to hotsync, my charge light came on and stayed on, even though I was at 40% power. I popped the Prism out of the cradle, and then the Palm logo came up flashing, which for me has always been a fatal sign. Soft and warm resets had no effect, so I'm now resyncing after a hard reset (and I have 8mb of data and a serial cradle! Grrrr!)

That is not at all what I am saying. Please scroll up about SEVEN posts and read the post by VisorKing. Then read the post by EricG immediately after that. Then read your SECOND post where you told EricG he was wrong. Then read my post again. Then read it again.

All I was saying is that you took EricG's post out of context. You told him he was wrong without knowing what he was talking about. EricG was commenting on the post by VisorKing, and VisorKing was WRONG.

There is only one way to adjust the Contrast on the Prism and that has already been discussed. I never said anything about holding the power button down.

Owell

Well yea ok I see now but owell what can I say, I still think what I said was a good thing as some people might get confused since the screen says brightness they may not know it is really contrast.
