Lower Screen brightness? - Epic 4G General

So I'm using my phone in the movie theater wishing my screen brightness could be twice as low XD is there anyway to make it lower than the settings allow?

Download Screen Filter from the android market.
I always use it at night when watching tv on my phone

Screen filter is awesome but for it to be truly useful on the epic we need the capacitive buttons disabled too they are way to bright

I believe you can do this through settings, display, keyboard timeout.
And hope you enjoy watching netflix on your samoled, better then that crappy screen in the theater.

Thanks it works great!

I too recommend screen filter. You can have widgets with different settings on your home screens that are awesome for quick changes.

How about not using it in the movie theater? So rude! LOL

Chainfire 3d works great; you can even change the color of your screen as well

Fo reals! I thought you could on enclair and froyo. And I looked and there's the options and I go assumin! Guess the best eh17 is 3 seconds.
I would think it would still be an option.

This is the only reason I buy popcorn at the theater...to throw at people who can't go 90 minutes without being on their phone...lol.

Now cm7, and it looks tempting!!!!
I'll resist the pressure and stick with miui.

So Alanrocks15 did you PM cyanogen or did you IRC chat with him? That'd be great if he says that he'll develop for it if we pitch in to get him one.

Kushdeck problem

On the kushdeck almost everything is working fine but I was navigating with maps. Then got a phone call was talking and phone rebooted. This has happened before on cyanogenmod a couple times and on this mod a couple times.....anyone else.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
That is nice to know, looks like a problem when the navigations gets interrupted when a call comes in. You say that it happened with CM and now with kushdeck? If it is working that way they will be glad to find a solution to fix this bug.
Another thing, have you tried to update the google maps? That can solve the issue also.
Spoke too soon my phone just rebooted as I was surfing the web just now. Earlier when it happened it wasn't just when the call came in I had already been on the phone a while.

Are you running a different kernel and what are your clock speeds set to? 95% of my random reboots are caused by one or the other.
Stock clock speeds two hundred and whatever to 998 on demand. I don't over clock at all.

GPU war. Nexus s vs epic 4g

I've just recently noticed this. But benchmarks yield crappier gpu results in the nexus s than the epic. For example the corridor test on my epic oc'd to 1.3ghz rubs at 40+ fps. The lowest its dropped is 35 fps and the highest was 50fps. Meanwhile the nexus s is running 10-15 fps slower. I thought this was just some issue with my buds nexus s but I just youtubed some benches and found the same results. Anyone else notice this? Why? Same hardware and I expected the nexus s to actually do better since its got official gb and the epic doesn't. I'm kind of baffled here.
sent from the Galaxy S Pro
Well I just ran smartbench side by side to the ns4g. Much better result there. I guess the ns4gs gpu drivers are much different somewhere down the road. The "planet" test on quadrant ran at a horrid 11fps while it stays at a constant 56fps on the epic.
sent from the Galaxy S Pro
I've had the same results while comparing benches on my Epic and my Nexus S, but it's only Quadrant. Real world graphics performance is just as good if not better than the Epic's. Other benchmarkkng programs don't seem to have the same discrepancies.

Nexus on daily speed blows my old Epic away but it lacks in web browsing and some games that my epic could handle perfectly fine. I always wondered the reason behind that.

As far as I know, yes. No hope. There was someone trying to port it but that project has been dead for a long time now.
I gave up on tv out. My resolution I put a pc in my bedroom by my tv. Got a s video to yellow rca cable adapter then plug that into older tv and I use my epic to turn on pc, browse to network drive (cuz movies are stored on my server) then opens and plays movie in vlc which I use my phone to stop,pause, play, change volume or whatev. Then when movie done I turn off pc with my phone. Unified remote app IS FN AWESOME. There are all different kinds of remotes all in this one app. From phone I can launch internet explorer window then use the phone screen as a mouse and keyboard. I can also launch pandora on the pc and have controls on the phone screen. The options are endless its great
