Hi Guys!
Do you observe a bluish tint when you run the stock Samsung browser?
How do you stop it?
Thanks!

Yep, got it too.
Also on the panel browser (which is stock browse too)

Are you on power save mode? The browser will go into a strange dimmed mode if you are.

The bluish tint is from the superamoled and is normal.

EP is right, cut the power save mode and you'll be okay
XDA App through my GNote 2... What else...

You can keep the power saving though and just disable the check on the 'Background Color' in the power saving settings..

Thanks, guys! Appreciate it!

Tried that but that just turns the blue led off. I want the led but don't want the screen to light up.

Quick Q about the LED... is it able to change colors like Motorola ones? Or is it always blue?

Note 2 problem

For some reason when I detach my s pen, the s pen icon and page buddy aren't showing up. It's making the sound and vibration but no icon or page buddy even though it's turned on. Secondly, does anyone have blocking mode icon in your scrollable settings in your notification bar? I thought mine was there but maybe I'm mistaken.. Anyone know why my s pen/page buddy isn't showing up? For $700 I should not be having this problem.

there's a setting for that option in the settings menu did you turn it off?
Interesting... I'm running nova launcher.. I switched back to touch wiz and it worked.. Now I'm back to nova and the icon is showing up when I pull it out. So I guess it's a nova launcher problem?

As far as I can tell those are TW home screen options. I use apex and don't have them either. Blocking mode is there on mine also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
What the hell? You have blocking mode at your scrollable settings at the top? I thought I did last night, then I used it for the first time and now it just see it in my normal settings..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
It should be between mobile data and power saving. What ROM are you on? Are you using the 15 toggle mod?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I don't have the mobile data one either. No rom.. I'm stock with nova launcher prime. I only find mobile data and blocking mode in my full settings. I remember having mobile data on my scrollable settings on my s3 but not on here.. Wtf is going on?

I'm so pissed right now! I'm missing 2 toggle settings on my 3 day old phone. What the F!? Not only that but every time I restart my phone my keyboard goes off SwiftKey and back to Samsung keyboard

Did you flash anything to the phone that could have messed it up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I don't know how to flash or root or anything..

I just talked to another guy who has the att version and he does not have the mobile data or blocking mode toggle either. What's going on here? I'm trying to find out if I have a defected device or not
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I do not have either of those in my pull down either. Mine totals 10.
Yeah man I have 10 too. Okay I feel better now.. I thought it was just me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
10 toggles here too. Don't need or want more.
The page buddy is touchwiz launcher specific. Your device isn't defective.

Thanks man. I feel better now. The note 2 remains the best smartphone ever

Err0xx is correct. I have Nova Prime and it is disabled as well. In addition a few widgets are removed as well. I like tue calendar app because it shows exchange tasks as well. It was removed when I used Nova. I tried to levrage Novas resize feature. Back to the drawing board.

I know that this is an old thread, but I got here searching for the same problem with the spen icon, also using Nova Launcher, and as there didn't seem to be a solution listed here, I thought I would post what ended up working for me. After a little troubleshooting with Samsung, they recommending hovering over the screen with the spen, and pressing the spen button 4 or 5 times rapidly, which I did, and now it all works perfectly. Can't comment on the toggles, but for at least the spen bit, maybe I can help someone out.
Same here...your phone is fine....I'm on ATT stock UCAMA4 build.....g
for custom launcher (apex, nova, go, and so forth) use an app from market called s-pen helper and it'll set you through for pen stuff and also for headset stuff. good luck...

How to lower brightness even further?

I put my dim level and brightness down to as far as they can go down and the homescreen is dimmed fine but I notice in the dark, opening a browser or a program that my brightness is pertty high and enough to keep me awake. How would I do this in AOKP roms and is there a good program to help me tweak it down further?
Any apps to control brightness by app?
I think there's a feature in the ktweaker app on KToonz's kernel that will let you drop brightness further. That's the only place I've seen it.

+1 for screen filter. I have been using it for a long time and it's been great.
Lux also allows you to go lower on brightness. It also does auto brightness way better than the stock touch wiz.

I really wish there was an app that put sepia/lowered brightness all in one app and hopefully a dropdown notification bar. I mean along iwth cell standby display tends to be the main culprit of battery drain.
Would be nice to have an app like that. DEV it
You can also use rootdim

Thanks for that, I knew about Screen Filter but I was looking for something that would actually dim the backlight instead of just overlaying on the display.

Wallpapers

Just want to ask fellow xda members for help and opinion. Im using the same picture on my homescreen and lock screen but I have noticed that the quality of the picture on the lockscreen is nit as clear or as sharp as the one on my home screen even though im using the same picture. Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Most likely you have the "Ripple Effect" enabled, just go into lock screen settings and disable it.

Ive tried the method u told me and it does help a bit, still not as clear as if I use the picture as home screen but better that if I have the ripple effect on. Thanks for the great advice.

Mc3 screen rotation

Does anyone know if mc3 supports launcher rotation ?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
There is no reason why It would not. I would verify for you but I'm not about to flash a leaked rom to test it. Maybe someone else who's running it can chime in.

According to timmetal6669, you can hack it to get everything to rotate BUT the homescreen (aka launcher)
Actually it's different on the s3. The home screen doesn't rotate when you edit the bools.xml. completely opposite is true on the s2. The original question by dutch was asking if there was a way to enable the rotationon the home screen too. I haven't had a chance rt o look into that yet. But the all rotations mod on the s3 doesn't make the tw home screen rotate so you should be good​
But I want the home screen to rotate

It rotates when inserted in a car dock....Maybe there is an app or something you can get to put the phone in car mode when you want it rotated.
