One thing I definitely miss on SGS3 coming from SGS1 and SGS2 was the ability to change the brightness setting from from the top of the notification bar. You were able to slide your finger left to right and be able to change the screen brightness.
I found an app called Display brightness that can do something similar and thought I'd share as I am sure a few of you might also miss the old feature. You can set a screen brightness slider anywhere on the screen and change its transparency. It works a treat to be able to change brightness quickly and efficiently.
Here is the link on Google Play if you want to check it out
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness
Gonna check it out, thanks
Holy crap that is awesome! Works on AT&T gs3. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Have to play with where I want it tho because it can interfere with the keyboard

Yeah its the best I've been able to find so far. Not sure why Sammy removed it from this phone but the app works. Finding a good spot to place it is key

Feel kinda dumb right now, I see the indicator but how do I actually change the brightness?
Edit: I guess the bar was too thin. Once I made it thicker I was able to adjust it. Thanks guys
International version just got an OTA update that includes a brightness slider in the notification pull down. As well as adjustments to the minimum brightness for auto brightness
just tried this, and it is pretty awesome!
If you set all the transparencies to 0%, it works exactly like the stock s2 slider...except you can put this on any side you want. The key is figuring out where exactly to slide your fingers to get it to work consistently, but once you do its pretty awesome.
AAAA+++ Sweet!
very nice find. Works perfect.

Glad a few of you are finding it useful ! I still wish Samsung didn't remove it and not sure why they did. Every now and then I hit the brightness line by accident so I might try and put it in a different area of the screen to see which is the best place. That's the only tricky part. It is a nice app though as an alternative.

Hopefully we get it in us versions of the international just got an update with the feature back on the notification, maybe they forgot about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Oh nice I didn't know that. I had the international for a week until I sold to try the LTE and just know it wasn't there on either. Also on my sgs2 one of the newer firmwares removed it as well a figured it was intentional and too much trouble to add it. I hope you're right

Can anyone confirm if the OTA updates on some of the American carriers added the brightness slider in notification bar like the update did on i9300? Or did the update only remove universal search ?

there is actually already code in the tw_status_bar_extended.xml for this. it just isn't active. i noticed it when i was poking around there for my theme.
Just download notification toggles app free from the market it has a ton of options. Will solve the brightness toggle issue plus you can add short cuts to apps, reboot menu and a bunch more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle
Awesome app! I almost hope that the brightness slider doesn't get added to the notifications window...there's already a lot up there.
It seems some on i9300 forums are not liking the brightness slider added in a release and some are requesting devs to remove from roms. I'll keep this app for now as I think its great

I dont believe its actually on the pulldown.. in previous tw versions you just slide across the status bar to the right to go up and down.. i may be wrong about the new brightness alider though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
This is really great. It's really convenient to set all the transparency settings to "0%" and hiding the slider at the bottom of the homescreen - just slide above the home button to adjust the brightness!
Edit: It works on the lockscreen too - wow!
Is anyone else having an issue with this? I already have the Led notifications disabled yet when I get a missed call, text or email the led still lights up. I have unticked the options in settings>led indicator. I am using the stock apps for messaging, email and phone calls. No 3rd party apps.
I thought the issue was with gmail as I read it somewhere on the intertnet. But that doesnt seem to be it. If it was why does it still blink with a misssed call or text.
Anyone else with this issue? I really dont want to do anothsr master reset. I have had to go through four master reset for other issues. I finaly got the phone set up the way I want and dont want to do it all over again.
Any help is appreciated.

Having the same exact issue here. Was going to start a thread about it myself.
I have the LED for notifications OFF in the system settings but they still continue to appear. I have tried multiple things to no avail.
I too am just on stock GS3, no rooting.
Would love to find a fix if anyone has found one...
I read here on these forums that your issue was a KNOWN issue and that it'll be worked out
with the next update........ if there's any truth to that, we'll see.

So you're getting flashing blue led for these notifications?
Have you checked yes for notifications in the default apps themselves?

Yes thats correct. If I disable the notification option in the default apps then I wouldnt get a sound or status bar notification when a text or email comes in. All options for the LED lights are disabled in the settings.
Im hoping that this is a bug that will be fixed in a future update. I really dont want to master reset again.
If I were to reset, will my apps be downloaded automatically? All the resets I have done I had to manually look for them and download them again.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Hope we can find a solution for this.

If you reset, you have to go to Play, choose My Apps from phone menu and reinstall. Only updates are (if you so choose) automatic.
As I remember it, with my I747 I had to set notifications to be on in apps and also set LED indicator to display when there was activity. Otherwise, the phone could set there all day and I'd never know there were messages or missed calls.
Hey I found his nice app for displaying missed called, email and text message notifications on the lock screen somewhat like the iphone. It's setup as a live wall paper to show notifications in the background, that way you don't need to change our your original lockscreen.

After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.

I've done this before on my Galaxy S3 using this method:

I was going to try doing it with my Galaxy S4 this morning, and the "ContextAwareService" isn't in the list anymore! Instead, there is "ContextProvider". I have looked around the files inside of there, but nothing looked like the steps in the thread I just mentioned.
If anyone has successfully done this, please let me know how you did it.
Thanks in advance.
I recently bought an S 4 and was wondering the same thing. Anyone figure this out yet?

Page buddy also brings up recommended shortcuts in the notification panel when the earphones are connected, when the phone is docked, or when the phone is roaming.
You won't have any of these three contextual notifications anymore, but I'm personally okay with that since I prefer a stock experience
