Cool brightness adjusting trick

I accidentally found a trick to adjust the brightness without the use of a widget.

Just take the stylus and go to the top of the screen (where you normally start dragging the android various functions screen), tap and hold there for a second. Depending on where you tap you can change the brightness to more or less(for example if you tap at the clock on the upper right corner you get maximum brightness, if you tap and hold on the upper left corner you get minimum).

Try it, it works.

That is a TouchWiz feature. I first noticed it in my Infuse, but what you do is you just hold your finger on the notification bar until the screen dims/brightens and you can adjust it by sliding left and right. (Sliding right increases brightness/sliding left decreases brightness)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valtersboze:
1) i understand that in portrait mode you still use both thumbs? or single handed writing is possible?

2) can someone confirm if the tap-to-focus is faster on Note? i was playing with it at the store and it seemed very quick.

3) video tap-to-focus? on either s2 or Note? I`ve read that some camera app allows zooming and tap-focusing while recording video, but only when 720p or lower..

4) car mount or table dock line-out port? true lineout or headphone type? i read it is adjusted by the volume buttons though it really shoulnt. for example iphone has non-adjusted true line-out when using a dock, its perfect. ive heard Note dock line-out sounds flat and volume can be adjusted :/ i intend to use the bottom port for dock and lineout to car system...

thanks!

GPS is about 100x times better on the note, battery life is more or less equal since the 2500mAH increase is traded off by the 5" display.

For screen the only thing the S2 is better at is the black levels, its deeper you can easily see that the Note as a lit black, at least I can and a few others who posted. Everything else is BETTER on the Note. I would never go back to the S2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khan.dharvesh:
Everything is good except performance. Note is laggy when compared to s2. Rest all good

just spent watching youtube video from this user: coldfustion (yt..../user/coldfustion)

whatever the problems, i`m sold after watching those. cant wait to get it tomorrow :D

on the bad side - i almost never use both hands when typing on phone (ok i got iphone) and i love to operate phone with one hand. after 1hour playing with note and then picking up s2 i was amazed how much easier is the sgs2 :eek: so light, so responsive, so easy to operate single-handedly. but i`m sold.

i hope video tap to focus will arrive some day. as well as smooth zoom during recording as on iphone.

and i really hope dock connector line-out is good, as i`ve built excellent stealth car audio system for my iphone :D

about the lag - ive learned that its due to the software not because of the higher resolution? ICS will offer OS rendering via GPU right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phytrax:
I found the not a little laggy too at first but currently I'm running v12 of Rocket ROM and the performance is great. Very nice improvement over stock. It's based on KL7 from Samsung which helps a lot also.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
Note is only laggy compared to the s2 when it is in power saving mode.Turn off all the power saving features and they are pretty much the same.

I suspect Samsung had to be very aggressive with the power saving features because the note can suck the battery dry very quickly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phytrax:
THE NOTE SCREEN GETS JUST AS BLACK AS THE S2. There is some software issue or maybe hardware graphics issue that causes blacks to show as not quite black sometimes, but on most screens blacks will be completely black. This is the nature of AMOLED.

GPS is definitely better for the Note but I wouldn't say a huge difference.

2500 mah is not offset much by the screen size. I get very good battery life compared to the S2.

Eye sight

I found an advantage of aging and having your eyesight degrade.

I cant have the screen closer than a foot. Therefore, I dont see the pixels

Everyone talks about up close.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valtersboze:
Got myself Note yesterday.. Hell yeah! I love it!!

Problems? It rebooted twice during first two hours. Updating firmware via Samsung Kies seems to have fixed that.

Only the screen banding is visible on white/gray background. Which of course cannot be fixed.

Otherwise it is the best gadget i have ever had or used!

Btw, samsung KIES updated to KKA version saying its the newest. What is KL7 everybodys talkin about? Im new to android
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfire:
well coming from the s2 you'll really notice the notes weight but that's more cause the s2 is so light you're hand might ache a bit if you use it for a long stretch which is not an issue on the S2.

sounds a bit better on the note, battery life seems a LOT better to me, GPS is definitely better.

My S2 had a slight yellowish tinge at low brightness settings and this is apparently a common defect, glad to be rid of that.

The Notes screen is just drop dead gorgeous i never noticed the pentile matrix' supposed problems and the increased ppi and size come together to completely overshadow the S2. The massive screen and the s pen are awesome when it comes to the more delicate stuff like selecting text editing pictures etc.

After using the Note for a bit you get used to the size real quick i can use it one handed if i want to, the trick is to hold it with you're fingers under the phone rather than curled all the way around, this lets you're thumb cover the whole screen though obviously this means you don't have as firm a grip on the device.

I've never had a problem holding it up to my face though i guess this depends on the size of you're face. I type one handed with swype in portrait swiftkey X in landscape.The Notes size really grows on you so you're gonna have trouble switching back to a normal phone if you have to, think of going from an S2 to an iphone.

With regards to heating up they're both about the same however the Note has a thicker back so you don't feel it as much.

If you pull the Note out in public jaws tend to slacken, the S2 looked awesome but nothing stands out in a crowd like the Note this can be a positive or negative depending on how much you like the attention I don't be prepared to answer a lot of questions and have heards of sheeple call it a tab (annoys me).

The home screen does tend to stutter occasionally but that should probably be fixed when ics comes out which should be soon. I also find the screen rotation animation a bit to long.

Some games don't work properly with the larger screen so if there's some game out there that you really cant miss you might wanna check if it works before you buy the Note, some apps also don't utilize the whole screen but its very rare so i wouldn't worry about it.

All in all unless you have small hands or really don't like the size i can't think of any reason to chose the S2 over the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerboi:
One reason to choose NOTE over S2 is BATTERY. My Girlfriend has an S2 and the battery runs out of juice in 10hrs max. Note on the other hand keeps going for a full day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valtersboze:
I cant get a full day. Its been 7.5h today, screen has been on for 3.5hours. Emails, web etc.. 27% left... So its 10hours hardly with light usage ( no games etc)

But i guess i use the phone 3x more than my previous iphone :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No, you are wrong....trust me...x10 can brick, but you have to try really hard to do it....what i meanis, you cant do it by mistake, you have to wan to brick it, or try something special to brick it. Anything on this website (Rooting, unlocking bootloader, flashing custom rom) will not brick the pone, even if you do it wrong.

If you think it impossible to brick then speak to doomlord, he is the guru on here about x10 and he had to buy a new one, not even jtag could help his problem.

If you dont know what jtag is, you dont know about bricking...:)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
No

JTAG can unbrick but setool2 can't unbrick

Doom had setool2 near him so he can't unbrick

FXP bricked his x10 for trying the same as doom and bricked his phone but JTAG saved him

Oh and a normal user can brick his phone if he pulls the USB cable while unlocking the bootloader:D(anyone don't try this if it bricks the phone or not,i m 100% sure it will brick)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
Ok, here is my story. I have a mytouch 4g, clearly, and i have s-off but withou root privileges. This happened because i used the gfree method to root my phone and then after a while my phone began rebooting itself, and i read online that this is an internal issue and many people have it. So i decided to unroot my phone so that i could get a replacement.

This is where the fun begins :/. I was on Miui, the latest one, and i used the automated unroot where u place the unroot folder and the P15IMG.zip on your phone and go to terminal to do some commands. When terminal finished what it did, it said press volume up in boot loader to finish and i did but i was too stupid to check that S was still OFF and now im on 2.2.1 without root but with S-off...

PLEASE can someone help me with this???? I am not new to this kind of stuff so i can follow somewhat complicated procedures, as long as i can get my phone to be STOCK. Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
perhaps try flashing one of the newer updated RUU's and then downgrade back to froyo? just throwin it out there :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
Well i already have Froyo and i just used visionary to get permaroot back.. phewww now i feel a little bit better, but i still have to get the S-on and i am trying to revert to stock, but when i enter the command "chmod 777 gfree" it says "Unable to chmod 777 gfree: No such file or directory"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementor123:
Just return it and you should be good. I also did the same mistake and ignored the errors in terminal (dont remember exactly but i think the script assumed gfree is in /data/local while it was not or rwx perms on file were not setup right) and flashed pd15img.zip then I thought its not worth rerooting and unrooting and just returned it that way. That was 2 months ago and I haven't heard anything from tmo.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Procedure to revert

1. Rename the part7backup file that you already have to something just so you know that it is the original backup.

2. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" + enter to get root privileges.

3. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter.

4. Now type "./gfree -f" + enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup, which you can delete if you wish)

5. Now run the "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" and it should show the output:
xxxx bytes in
xxxxbytes out
xxxxxxxxxx copied in blah blah blah

6. Run "sync" and then reboot. (I didn't do this and it worked fine but it won't hurt either. )

If you have the engineering hboot 0.85.2007 installed you will still be showing s=off when you do the above revert steps. Follow these steps to reflash the stock hboot and turn s=on:

Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.

unroot.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?12oi5elu7v2y8og
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd

Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)

a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.

b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.

c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.

d. Follow the onscreen prompts.

File Explorer Method

2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.

a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.

b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.

c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.

You now have S=ON again

Did you save the part7backup file that was created during the ./gfree root? did you replace it and follow the ./gfree unroot directions?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
i still have the part7backup and yes i put it on the SDcard and i did follow the instructions. At first i was getting some errors that gfree couldnt find something, then i check the forums again and saw that you cant unroot while in Virtous Unity so i went back to Miui and everything seemed to work fine until it still said s-off
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
so even though i have s-off i should still try and return it? because i want to go to the store and give it to them
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementor123:
That's what I did and know more people have done that before. But everyone i know returned by mail. If you are returning to store, I wont take a chance and would just follow what neidlinger said above.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
well, i could send it back by mail, what did you do to get them to send you a new one? and what is the risk by sending it back with s-off? meaning, what will happen if they find out?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
just play dumb with them. and i doubt they would care for s-off. my old phone got shipped back rooted and s-off, even had a custom splash screen that said "rooted HTC glacier" and they still accepted it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
Hey i have a question, i got my root privileges back, but when i went to do the unroot procedure again and when i entered "chmod 777 gfree" it said "no such file or directory".... do i have to do gfree again?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAMF357:
what did you say your reason for a replacement was? for me, my phone rebooted itself when it was on custom roms, im going to see if anything happens on this stock mytouch ui.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon_usa:
You should do gfre again, cause when you back to stock, there no more files.

when you get to this command: "dd if=/where/your/part7backup-numbers.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" , try to remember where/your = "sdcard" then you should be S= ON.

Is my Motorola Xoom Supported?​

Hello, i am getting a motorola xoom 32GB wifi only UK model for christmas. Being me, im not planning to stay on stock for very long, in fact more like 10 mins :p

However, i have one bugging question before im confident enough to apply a rom and unlock the Bootloader.

Will my Xoom (being a UK model) support Tiamats roms? Ive heard conflicting reports saying yeah because its the same hardware and no because of the model, but i just need 1 definite anwser from a user whos tryed.

If its no, then will i have to get a US firmware for it? Is it even possible?

[HTC Titan] hurley81388:
Hi all,

I'm a longtime iOS user who just upgraded to an ATT Skyrocket (android LTE phone) and I'm really unhappy with the battery life. However, I really crave a big screen so I don't want to switch to the 4S unless I have to so I'm checking out windows phone.

I was wondering how the battery life on the Titan is while listening to music saved directly on the device through the Zune software.

On my iPhone I could listen to the iPod which drained barely any battery (maybe 2-3% an hour at most) while using the Android stock player (which i found to be the best in terms of battery) it's more like 10%+. I listen to a ton of music while working everyday (10+ hours) so having 10% drain/hour just because the music player is going on in the background is unacceptable to me.

Also, are their lockscreen controls for the music player on the titan? And does it support in-line headphone remote control (double click to skip forward, triple click to go back)?

Any experiences? Thanks!
[HTC Titan] Sihaz:
I've found it really light on the battery while listening to music especially wit wired headphones though it is pretty good on Bluetooth too. From the lock screen you can pause and wind and skip. Also the volume.controls work without unlocking.
[HTC Titan] YellowGTO:
I find the battery life amazing compared to my Atrix. And I think my atrix has the largest or one of the largest stock batteries on Android.
[HTC Titan] Woodway:
I flew from the west coast of the US to London last week, listened to music the whole way (with the radio off on the airplane, obviously), when I arrived in London my battery had drained down to about 70% full. With airport and connection in Chicago time, that was about 16-17 hours of listening. In general I am pretty happy with the battery life on the Titan.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

Yes it supports these controls. I was using the headphones from my old Samsung Focus.
[HTC Titan] jeremyshaw:
About everything true to the iPhone in terms of media playback, is true tithe HTC Titan. Except for purchasing music videos OTA, though that may be my inability to find any MV via the mobile Zune marketplace.

Well, and if you have sensitive cans/IEMs, then you may also notice a slight dc spike when switching tracks.
[HTC Titan] tamiktamik:
If you only buy the Titan to listen to music by itself, then you should have a good/fair battery life, but if you buy it to play games, watch out cause it will drainyour battery quickkk
