I've had two hard resets this week while adjusting the brightness on my Prism. Ugh! I hate to start naming names of apps I use that might cause it. It's happened in two different apps, so I'm wondering what else might be going on behind the scenes. Anyone else getting this same problem?

I'm having the same problem. Unfortunately, I haven't been watching the apps that may or may not be causing it? Hard to tell if this is common... It's also difficult to try to ascertain which applications might be causing problems.

So far the only application that really gave me a hard time was Quickbits. It crashed things (not hard reset) every time I tried it... it got the boot. Pity, too, as it seemed to really speed things up.

Are other people having this problem?

I had the same problem. The culprit was Chrome 1.1 beta (an app to change the default screen colors on the Prism). If you didn't change the "Screen Settings" to 65,000+ colors, it caused crashes with hard resets when trying to change brightness almost every time. The author has since posted an updated beta which seems to solve the problem.

I've had no problem with QuickBits.
