Is there any way to put shortcut to Settings-System-Power to your program page? I keep changing backlight, and every time I have to go through a bunch of clicks.
Thanks
if you tap on the top status bar then click on the battery icon.. it will take you to the battery status and the next tab there is the backlight one... close enough for you?

The problem is that some applications (like IGO) remove that top status bar. Also, it is not available while charging (like in a car cradle).
Saw a video on droiddog showing some of the apps the vibrant came with and he showed how you can change the brightness to any level without using settings, an app or a widget.
Anywhere in your phone (Assuming you can see the notification bar and the screen isnt locked, simply drag your finger side to side along the top notification bar (Don't pull it down, just slide across the top). It's just like using the brightness slider in settings! This might not work if you have auto brightness enabled.

Ah, missed that due to the completely nondescript thread title My bad.
I've updated to 3.1 recently and I notice on the bottom right of the screen to the left of the time there is a dash, I'm sure this mark wasnt there before, what's it meant to represent LOL
Not there on mine. Do you have anything in the notification area?
I do not. Maybe it is a separator of some sort if you have notifications.
I've found that when I disabled Notifications (in that settings pane after you've tapped the clock) it causes the dash icon to appear.
If you tap the dash, it should tell you what it is - at least that's what I get
Possibly post a screenshot from your device to show us the icon
Is there any way to speed up the notification popup? I keep hitting the statusbar with my thumb (aiming for the spacebar when typing, and I've even turned off the softkeys notification popup button) and it takes most of a second to scroll up so I can send it away. I've turned off all the animations in Spare Parts and CyanogenMod settings.
I've tried putting the statusbar on top, I don't like it, but I may have to get used to it just to avoid this.
Alternatively, is there any way to make the notifications popup not fullscreen? It would go faster if it didn't have to scroll up the whole screen.
Thanks!
I know with my N5 I had constant problems with the "butt dial flashlight" and on of the reasons I got a N6 is that I wanted to eliminate that problem and indeed it was successful. Now with the 6P this morning I noticed my pocket was getting hot and I took the phone out and the flashlight was on.. How do I disable the flashlight as I never use it anyway and if you ever saw a battery sucker it is the flashlight?
Assuming you're talking about the quick launch icon in the notification shade, turn on System UI Tuner (hold down the settings gear in the shade for a few seconds and it will start to spin under your finger (hard to see). Then go into settings and at the very bottom it will say System UI tuner. You can then customize what icons are shown in the shade.
Ok what is "notification shade" .. does phone need to be rooted as I held down the settings gear for at least 9 seconds on the screen that shows things such as bluetooth, airplane mode, auto rotate, Location.. etc and I never got the setting wheel on the upper right near the percentage of battery and nothing happened, but my 6P is not rooted?
Your phone does not need to be rooted, but you do need to keep your finger very still as you're pressing on the gear icon. It took me a couple of tries.
if you have OK GOOGLE enabled...
"OK Google, turn off flashlight".
I'm serious.
You don't need to be rooted. Maybe have developer settings turned on in the first place?
"To enable System UI Tuner in Android 6.0 Marshmallow preview 3, pull down your notification shade and long-press on the Settings gear icon for up to 5 seconds. Once you let go, you should see a pop-up with the message “Congrats! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings.†And as that message suggests, you can head into settings, scroll to the bottom, and find an option for System UI Tuner."
Once enabled you will see a small wrench next to the gear icon in the notification shade.
Notification shade is the pulldown menu where you notifications appear, and where the quicklaunch icons are.
As @Zlatty said, you might need to turn on Developer Options first (but the Droid Life guide doesn't mention it). To enable this, go to Settings > About and tap on Build Number 7-8 times until it says "You're a developer!".
Will this stop it from going on or does it just shut it off once it it on?
OK I was able to access that screen and flashlight icon was pale with a diagonal line through it but all that tells me is that it is off as I did nothing to disable PERMANENTLY the flashlight that I know of ??
Yes that worked but you have to know it is on.. I want it never to go on.
@painfree Click and hold on the flashlight quick launch icon in the System UI tuner Quick Settings and drag it down to the trash to delete the icon from your Quick Settings/Quick Launch.
fury683, thank you that worked it is removed.
