I just discovered a very simple way to control your backlight on your captivate. Just slide your finger left or right on your top task bar
. left to reduce brightness and right to increase brightness.
Try it out.

Awesome tip!
That explains why my screen would dim/brighten when I'd swype my that status bar for notifications. I had chalked it up to a glitch.
This does not work for me. Some of the things I have added? Beautiful Widgets?

Do you have auto brightness off or on? Mine us on and it is not working.

i have to agree, i was really a big big big big big HTC Loyalist, and after my fuze, had decided to never buy another phone unless it was made by HTC... but with AT&T's failure to pick up one of the high end HTC Android devices, i decided to give the Captivate a go... and i am SUPER Impressed!!
WOW fantastic find!!! 99% of the time I use auto brightness, but this is a fantastic tip for adjusting the brightness quickly when needed.
ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks
Pat.

It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.
Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.
+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.
hoping for a port
I like the tactics here
MIUI has that option.

tried an miui sd build (by 3dak, very smooth build) and the top bar is sweeeet. a thin green line which filles up from the right when its charging, and on lockscreen.
i want, i want, want, but i dont want miui ;-)
it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,
anyone???
am i the only one that misses the feature and is there a way to get it?

It was a standard feature in most custom ROMs - not in stock though. Not sure if there are any mods to get that feature (except for replacements like widget locker).

Any advice? I bought a note3 for her but she complain the phone is too complex,the font and button are so small for her. Any large launcher simple enough for her, like a senior phone?
Big launcher from the play store.

Well I was just about to suggest you try Easy Mode, there isn't anything easier/bigger then that.
Now I don't usually say things like these, but you bought your grandma the wrong phone. A flagship phablet is not for someone who finds Easy Mode confusing. Consumerism must die.
Windows 7 / 8 Launcher. Very simple.
Easier mode is the best. You need to guide her with heart. If easier mode she also can't accept. Then you need to make everything she need to use in one page.

Wow,don't thought that way, what she want is just to be connected with us. Trying to guide her use whatapp to share picture with us.
Still looking for a good app. Why nobody develop an app for those seniors?

You might root the phone and then in build.prop change screen dpi. Use nova launcher and place everything in one or two pages. Hide dock and status bar(so that she doesn't gets lost) and for battery info use battery widget reborn.
As simple :thumbup:

After people liking the icon I did for whatsapp heres a few for the social apps and chrome.
If i get a good response I may continue to do these icons.
Peace,
Luke.
:UPDATED:
due to it being pointed out that the icons weren't the same size as the OS I adjusted them to fit properly.

The chrome icon is ever so slightly bigger than the other icons on the home screen.
Shouldn't be as I used the same 128x128 file screenshot please?
Hope this helps.

UPDATED!
