To the people with screens flickering, do you have navigation bar enabled? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So i have noticed this before, but then forgot about it. But everytime i would access the xda app on my phone, it would flicker like crazy!!! So today i went into my settings disabled the navigation bar and boom, the flicker is gone. Can anyone else try this?
Yes i have done a clean install and problem persisted, even with the min cpu bumped up. Maybe theres something with the screen being compressed due to the navigation bar being added.

Moved to Q&A

I've had flickering on aokp and miui without the nav bar

I have had zero flicker since disabling the nav bar, but once I enable it, the flicker comes back!!

This needed its own thread why? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846416
And it happens on roms that don't even have the navbar as an option. I like that you're trying to help, but unfortunately the post is a fail.

Screen brightness shortcut missing on SGS3. Here is an alternative

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

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.

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!

[Q] Jellybean 4.1.1 Status Bar and Navy Bar burn ins?

OK, so ever since I've been using the stock ROM for jellybean, I've been noticing a burn-in on the screen when I view media, play games, or anything that hides the two. I've never seen this happen on any other Android OS. I was wondering if maybe you guys had the sane problem and some way to fix it because its getting really annoying. I was thinking about it and maybe its because of the new Project Butter and how the display updates a lot and since the status bar and Nav bar never really change their position on the screen it would cause a burn in. So, I was wondering if you guys have a fix for this? Thanks in advance

There are so many threads on burn in I am not sure where to start...
Some people have experienced what you are calling burn in and others like me have not noticed it at all. You could try getting a screen wipe app and see if that clears it up.

Meh doesn't bother me, its not that bad. Earlier phones like the nexus one had worse looking burn in.

I've had my nexus since February and have a blueish tint on the bottom half of the screen from the keyboard. Its only noticeable in low light when the screen brightness is turned down low.

Hide your top and bottom bars fellas, that's what I do.
In the browser I hide the notification screen, but the nav bar I don't.

Browser brightness

So anytime I open my browser it automatically darkens. I hit the home button and it brightens back right before it goes to the home screen. How the f do I change this? Is really getting on my nerves.
Stock Rom by the way.

Same.
I have the same problem. But I can't find the browser's brightness settings.
I had it before the software update, but it is gone after the update. Don't know what's up with that.

After the latest OTA update the browser uses the same brightness as the rest of the system. You can control it from the status bar.
I have the latest update but don't see how to change the browser brightness setting without it changing the system brightness. Is there way to fix this? Thanks

[Q] Notifications Pulldown Menu no longer working

Hi, I'm running LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 and this morning I was messing around using the navigation tools rather than hardware keys and after I disabled the navigation tools I could no longer pulldown notifications and my status bar no longer appears at the top of my screen. I have rebooted my phone, restarted my launcher, tried to disable then enable the status bar and pulldown bar but unfortunately nothing has worked. Has anyone else encountered this and know how to fix this? Thank you.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Once the system framework gets messed up like this, I've always had to re-install my ROM.
Just wipe cache & dalvik, nothing else.
All your data & apps & settings should remain the same after the re-flash.
Before you go wild re flashing stuff hold down your power button til the menu pops up and see if expanded desktop is active. That's your problem if I remember correctly how the newer navigation tools work.

[Q] Any way to fix updated Youtube app bug?

I am using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 with Wicked v5.1 Rom, and I have consistently experienced an issue with the updated YouTube app. Every time I watch a video in landscape mode and then turn it into portrait mode, a black bar appears between the status bar and the YouTube search bar. The bar doesn't go away even in landscape mode. The only way to make it go away is to exit the app, but the black bar always comes back. It really is quite annoying. I know that others have the same issue as I do because of what I have read on the Internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really hope that Google fixes this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

As of yesterday when it was released.
I've noticed similar problem with this version as well. You can see it on top of the title/menu bar.

I should mention that I've tried other roms like GE and they don't have that problem. I think it's TW related.
Here is the before and after the portrait/landscape/portrait turns.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Both old and new versions have the same fck bug. Its ridiculous. A version before those 2 was fine....
I am on infamous roms and when in landscape mode I can't even view the seek/status bar! I have to go to portrait making it smaller then tap the vid box again to see how far through a vid I am or seek back and forth... I read one other review on Google apps play market so I know it's not just my rom, but there must be something up with the gs3 not letting me view this bar all the time.
