i knew those already
but yes, there are still a lot of new people to the SGS family to know those TW tricks
I knew too... Coming recently from sprint sgs2 , just thought id offer the tip since was no thread on anything of the sort.. Its probably just same on all galaxy s devices with 2.3.5 ..maybe maybe not!

there's also an app called "screen filter" that dims the screen beyond factory levels to help with nighttime viewing.
and its free
Id be carefull with screen filters .. Once i used an app of some sort that dimmed screen to 0%
Leaving me to hope i knew how to find the app on the black screen just by remebering where abouts it was

I'm trying to adjust the color of my Evo. My wife has an epic and side by side her screen looks arguably better. Now before you start to tell me about the properties of a samled screen ...lol I just want to be able to adjust the color a little more. Looked and can't find anything.

There might be something other than this (probably is), but the renderfx app on CM has a couple different settings.
Yup, there is an app brought over from the nexus one that will let you do this but the thread got buried awhile back.

If you set your phone up on your dash it can be used as a HUD display, text readout, gps nav, etc... any way to make an app that inverts your screen so you can read it through a mirror/windshield reflection

There is a heads up display app in the market called: GPS HUD that will give you some of what you are looking for Mate, go check it out. Its FREE!
Hope that helps....

AndroHUD also does this.
I was thinking more of the entire screen. Its happening already on tnz blend ics rom on accident on my epic but the touchscreen is oriented correctly so the button pressing is off.

Is there an app that will turn off the keyboard lights? i know about Display > Touch Key duration. Thanks
Doubt it. Why would you want to turn off the keyboard lights?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
Waste of battery in daylight
Another really great reason to turn them off is so you can watch Netflix at night. Screenfilter works, as do Keyboard backlight controller and AdjBrightness.
You can change it's duration to the lowest settings which is 1.5 seconds in the settings.I did that and trust me it's hardly on. It's in settings - display - touch key light duration.

At some point I was running a battery saver that did this when I dropped below a certain percentage of battery life. It might have been Easy Battery Saver. Then again, it also could have been the built in Power Saver function. Has that been tried?
Did the last two posters even read the thread? Not only did OP say he knows how to reduce the time, I just gave the names of 3 apps that can do it and people are still posting suggestions to reduce the on time.
Yeesh. No need for the hostility. My suggestion was not for reducing the light timeout, but shutting the keyboard light off completely, as was requested. I did see that you posted some apps and I was merely suggesting another app.

Take it easy....I was simply stating that at 1.5 seconds it is hardly on and does not waste much battery.

So that you can save battery and BTW our mind is good enough to remember where the touch captive keys are...
You can use Screen Filter app to do this (just set filter to 100% and unset Enable buttons backlight checkbox)
Hello I have 4 perfect circles going vertically on the right half of my screen, they are about a half inch diamenter. They have an outline of about a 1/10th of an inch outline.
Anyone else have this issue? I tried to take a screenshot but this is a screen issue so it doesn't come out on the pictures. Ill try to get a picture.
Any input on what they could be??
They are more easily viewed on whote backgrounds or any light color background

First ive heard of that. Probably need to try to send it back for exchange.

Did you have an image on screen for an extended period of time? This sounds like a burn in. It happens on these screens when something is on the screen without moving or any changes. It just burns in. If you go thru some of the settings on the phone there is an option that helps against this.

If I use my alarm clock the stock Android one and dim the screen so the large clock shows will that lead to a burn in? It's something I would always do with my old lcd but now I'm scared with this phone
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Are you using a screen protector? If so, try the burn in test without that on and see if those circles are still there. It might just be the screen protector.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The four circles may be correlated to the four fingertips of your left hand. Could it be that the screen protector is damaged with some kind of oil deposits? Have any KFC lately
I have the same thing. You only see it when you look at the phone from the side... so I don't mind at all

Yes leaving the screen on all night with the clock can cause burn in.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Wait.... so any image in the background can cause burn-in on these screens? That's some BS....I always have a background with images on for a good period of time....
Its always something.

Is LightFlow safe? I've read the permissions and they make me.... uncomfortable. How safe is it? Can it access credit card info etc?
Yes its safe.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yes and it's an awesome app!
Edit:
I felt I should add more here. All the permissions are so that lightflow knows when to turn on the lights you assign to the apps. That's all. The Dev is stand up and extent helpful. No need to worry.

Awesome app! Cool to have colors light notification though rather than plain white light
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Been running it since getting my GNex almost a year ago and haven't had an issue. The Dev is on here and is super communicative. Its a must have for anyone with a phone that has a multicolor LED.
I love being able to come up to my phone and immediately knowing it's status without even picking up. My screen time of battery use has probably dropped 20% because of this app.
