I found that sliding your finger across the notification bar from right to left allows you to change the brightness setting.
I'm not sure if many people are aware of it so it's just a quick tip!
Thanks didn't know about it, nice tip

And there is a menu setting needed, you have to go to display and turn off Auto-Brightness.

Oh cool. Didn't know that auto-brightness being off was the reason.

Sorry, I checked the sticky thread before posting this to see if it was there and didn't see it. I must've skimmed it though because I see it now. I guess we can delete this thread then?
That's pretty cool n easy thanks for the short cut ..

I slide from left to right, so i can bring it up to MAX, and it does work.
but
when i goto menu settings for brightness its not all the way up. it seems like just a few short from MAX.
anyone else?

I made a request to get a dark theme added to XDA and was thinking that if enough people showed interest it might get the ball rolling. The purpose behind this is that a dark theme would improve our battery life as I'm sure all of you know how these screens work.
Before the peanut gallery chimes in, I have no interest in using the XDA app.
Well the premium app has a black theme, have you tried that?

Your in luck, this has already been done. I don't have the premium app, but I am using the dark theme. Just go into settings, it is there.
:facepalm
Forget I even said anything
edit: Just so nobody takes the above comment wrong: I DO NOT LIKE USING THE XDA APP. I want to add a dark theme to XDA's UserCP options.
I'm not sure why you would want to request a feature you wouldn't use, but more power too you..
I originally opened this thread because I was curious to know why someone would rather use the web broweser instead of the XDA app. So whats the pro/con?
I wanna a thanks button on this app

Where are you getting the idea that I wouldn't use it?
I just like the browser version better. I have it as a bookmark in my LP dock pop up which takes me directly to general or development. With the Miran browser I have other forums in different tabs so I can go back and forth between them easily. Its harder for me to navigate the app than it is to navigate the browser. Also when people reply using the app, 90% of the time it gets put in the quote box and and looks like and an empty post when in fact the reply is jumbled in with someone else's post (see post #4 as an example). The only benefit the app has to me is that the text is formatted a little better for legibility but that can be fixed in the browser by simply double tapping the page and zooming in.
This is how I'd like it to look like.
My appoligies if this has been posted already, i did search.
I just discovered that if you press 'home' and 'power' together the phone takes an instant screen capture like the iPhone does. No need for root or 3rd party apps!
Hope this helps someone

Great. Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know that before.
check out the "Motion" option in settings, some fun stuff in there too
we've got some good stuff going here! i might turn this thread into an 'easter eggs' and tricks & tips thread!

Seriously, don't mess with Perseus calibrations, it's already perfectly calibrated by people who know what they're doing. You could adjust whites if you want to, but that too only if you know what you're doing.

My friends s4 (top picture) shows the date and time in the notification bar. No matter what settings I change, mine (bottom pic) only shows the time, also only shows time on the lock screen, where his shows date and time. Ive checked "show time" in lock screen settings. Nothing has worked!
Thank u in advance!

Glad to see that Urlacher decided to retire instead of puting on a different team's colors...
Try changing the system font back to default (Settings>Display>Fonts) that may have something to do with it.
Definitely glad about that as well! But yup we tried changing it back already and nothing...im @ a loss..
Im sure its some simple setting im over looking..

Try this:
When you pull down the notification window, click on the time in the top left. This will pull up those settings... check to see that both are the same.
It could be that the format you have set is too long to fit in that spot.
That was it! You sir are a scholar and gentleman, Thank you! !*!*!GOBEARS!*!*!

Where are the format settings? I only see an option to add a city after clicking on the time in the top left.

I just got it it's charging at the moment any hints or tips for this tablet? Or any settings recommendations?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Jus run through the settings one by one and deselect anything that sounds like it might waste battery. Qslide, knock on, all nice touches but both waste that extra bit of juice and I can do without.
Enjoy
Ok thanks also what screen brightness do you have yours on?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Dude, why are you asking us? How can we know what brightness do you like? Which settings do you need? Just explore and try everything yourself.

Sound advice. I have tried daily at 50 60 70% and full. Personally I find full brightness too bright for web browsing.
Just have a good play

A he never asked that. He asked what brightness do YOU have it on. You do know people do this all the time. Just look into monitors at Hard forums. People love to know all the settings people use. People will say they get the best battery life with.. and then post.
Ok so I have it set up using nova Launcher just like on my note 3 I'm loving the tablet so far only this that's annoying me is the bar with the touch buttons at the end, as in when I'm using apps I don't get the full screen I guess it's something I will just have to get used to.

or just root and use one of the many apps. If you install the G2 xposed framwork you can make it really small. or if you install UDN Lite you can select auto hide
Do I have to root to use one of those apps?

Yes, it has to have access the system files (for G2 xposed) so yes...
