I'm guessing that many of you guys already know this, but as this is not posted anywhere else in our forum, I'd like to post here, since I found this just randomly.
Touch your status/notification bar for a second (do not pull down) and then slide left/right to decrease/increase your screen Brightness.
Cool Right !!
NOTE : Auto Brightness should be turned off for this to work.
While posting this thread I saw few threads on other Phones' forums about this tip, and from the responses, I see many guys were not aware of this. So I think this thread will make some sense.
It’s working...... really cool man....
Yup its a known trick, it even works when using the stock ROMs.

Ah.. Glad to hear that... now i can get rid of one huge widget..
Is anybody read the instruction to SGR? It's in there ))))
As far as I am aware, this is only present on Samsung phones. I tried with my friend's DHD, his Arc S and his Galaxy Note. Only worked on his Note.

I second that it doesn't work on Ace though it was a while back that I had checked it, so a new update might have added this feature for them too.
Will check & update you guys here.

Yeah, I guess so.
At the moment, I'm waiting a few weeks before switching to one of the custom ROMs which are currently being developed and tested. I think I'll live without this brightness feature until then Although it sounds really nice.
Very Nice. Thanks for the Tip.

Well I use MERetail-MEARET rom.
I have not flashed this rom yet. To tell you the truth i did not know it was available to flash until a minute ago. I had not been checking that part of the dev section lately. I'm downloading that rom now and i will flash it later this evening when i get some free time to see what is going on with the dialer, plus i haven't tried that rom yet and it will give me a new toy to play with for a little bit. Like i said before i had this problem with the Indian rom and it bugged the hell out of me. Give me some time and ill get back to you on this later tonight or tomorrow.

Alright it's fine I just hoped you can do it today and tell me what you've done on the Indian rom maybe it's same issue. untill you flash that rom and have some time for this.
Tried to get the dialer problem fixed and this is above my knowledge. Since no one else has replied your best bet would be to go back to stock or flash another rom where the dial pad is not a problem. Sorry i tried, it's just beyond me.

Is it just an issue with the dialer .apk file, and if so why not mod the rom by using another rom's dialer. apk? I'm not even sure if the dialer and phone. apk's are able to be swapped, as they may be too deeply integrated within the A2's framework. Sorta beyond my knowledge base.

Update on this: The optimizing thing only lasted a couple of times. Now the phone boots up straight like normal! However, Google Now hasn't worked from the start. It keeps saying "location service is off" when it's not. I've used Google Now all the time before on CM10 as well as stock JB. Something is broken here...
Any chance this package will be updated to official (not leaked)? The camera app has a few new improvements today.

this doesn't explain anything, and it's spelled "stunned". what you needed to do to avoid random problems was to read the stickies. you wouldn't be "stunt" and you would know what to do in the first place. it's really not that much reading and the best part is: you'll actually know what you're doing. :good:

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)
We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:
http://sdrv.ms/18hoDxb
Let me know if any problems.
Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.
