The options to crop/share the screenshot at the bottom fades away too quickly. They could make it stay permanently instead. Anyone feels the same?

If you start to slide the status bar down, and then slide your finger to the left or the right on the actual status bar, the screen brightness will adjust.
Sliding all the way to the right will give you brightest, and sliding all the way to the left will give you lowest setting for brightness, and there are some intermediate settings depending on how far to the left/right you go.
My i9000 does not have this feature.

This phone gets more awesome every day!
is it really the status bar or a swype on either direction at the top part of the screen
i remember something about controlling screen brightness by a diagonal swype from the top of the screen

I'm sure that your phone does have this feature, but you have to take the screen brightness out of automatic for it to work.
awesome....something new everyday!
you dont have to slide down, just swype across the notification bar, that is such a simple but cool feature

I'm surprised more people haven't noticed this feature, and Samsung has been so quiet about it.
It doesn't seem to work for me either. I've tried pulling the bar down just a little or all of the way.
You have to have it on manual brightness setting, and pull the status bar down just a few mm so that the grey part that would usually be the bottom edge of the status bar is fully exposed, but is right at the top of the screen, then swipe either left or right on the status bar.
I hope that makes sense
I love this device. In every way. Except I can't read text half the time. Kind of a problem, don't you think?
I am have an Lg GPE to on hand to compare/consider. I like the text size, but don't like the size of the unit or the awful, dim, discolored display.
Help me save my Nexus from being returned:
There are some web pages that don't allow zoom. Bigger deal is that my magazine text in the Playstore app is very small and zoom isn't supported.
The 7 allows magnification if you tap it 3 times. This gives me good sized text. But page scrolling is "frozen". You can pull over to the next column, but it bounces back to where you started when you let go of the screen.
Is there any way to make the magnification function work so that when you scroll on page it will stay where you put it?
I am rooted.

Chrome has a option to force zooming on unsupported pages.
Firefox has a little book thing in the right side of the URL bar that enables Reader Mode. Basically it inverts the site (black background and white text), increases text size, and does a couple of other things to improve reading quality.
I know it's more of a work around than an actual fix for what you're asking, but I love Reader Mode.

What are your opinions on running fullscreen apps? If I run a fullscreen app there is a little trigger at the bottom / right side of the screen, depending on the orientation. I think it is a little annoying, because sometimes I have to touch the far right side of the screen inside the app, and I accidently open to button bar instead.
How are videos handled? If you watch a video in fullscreen, do you still get the little trigger icon at the right side of the screen?
Every time i take a screen shot and start writing notes the blue toolbar keeps hiding and showing when i put pen on screen and move it away. It is a big distraction and not sure how i can change it.
I dont see the app setting or options anywhere and i believe it happens only on some versions mine is android 5.1.1
I love this device except for this tiny but very annoying distraction
Since the four corners of the screen are not square as with my old phone, it appears certain apps are not taking that into account and as a result, information is being cut off from view. See attached screenshot... does anyone have any suggestions or do I need to consider returning this phone because that is just crazy
To be more clear particularly the bottom left corner(in this example) nearly half of the time information is blocked from view
Yeah, I see that as well in apps that try to use the whole screen
Is it because you are using navigation gestures?

In that specific example, I suppose yes. But even with nav bar enabled, watching a video in landscape the same thing happens.. it's pretty annoying
