Hey guys, I'm sure there is an easy fix for this but I can't figure it out. I'd like to remove the brightness slider in the notification pulldown. Suggestions?
Lol, I just asked that today, and the one answer so far indicates that it is not possible to remove it. Very strange.

I don't remember it being there until just recently. I wonder when it started????
Oops, didn't realize you already created a thread about this. How strange that there's no setting to hide it.
Its quite a nice feature why you want to remove it ?

I accidentally turn off auto brightness sometimes when I'm checking my notifications.

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.

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!
I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

Thanks for the reply, I did that however, and it only impacts the ringtone.

Same problem for me, and it's super frustrating. Is this specific to the AT&T version I wonder??

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

An app called lite flow will do exactly that.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the app and tried to set it up but it wanted to stop air view in the process. A related application was there

Which worked perfectly. Thanks foe the heads up, much appreciated.

this does not works for whatsapp?
u hav any other trick?
i would like to have small vibrate pulse for notification..
Is there a way to change the vibration pattern on text messages? I have the pattern changed successfully for calls, but I cannot change it on messages. It's still just one big long vibration...Not great.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
You can use light flow to change the vibration patterns.

I finally got a chance to check out lightflow. It has WAY more options than I'm looking for. I just want to change the vibration pattern associated withe text messaging. Is there anything native to the phone? Or a simpler way?
Thanks!

Right. Did that. So... any way to change the vibration pattern for text messages that doesn't use something like this?
Thanks again!
It just came up in my notification bar when I restarted my phone today.
I really don't know if I'm describing it the right way but here's a picture....
I did a search but I didn't find much, I really don't know how else to search for it. Thanks in advance!

Interesting.... kind of dumb as to why they would take out the setting but have it default set to display in the notification bar. I'm running version 3.4 if that helps.... I found the setting under Menu>App Settings (all the way at the bottom of App settings)
I've looked and I haven't found a solution to this. I check my work email on the road, but when I'm at work I don't need notifications for email I already can see on my desktop. Any way to make sure that I can disable the notification lights between certain times?
If on TW, have you tried blocking mode

If you can find the command line to toggle the lights, you can use chron4phone app to schedule it. Requires root, I think. Chron4phone available on google play.
