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.
Yes I have this and I use it often

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
The bottom of my N7 screen cracked but the device is still very usable. The bottom half inch will not respond to touch, but everything above that point works just fine! I'm hoping for a way to expand my navigation bar size, or bump it up to leave my screen blank under it.. Any help will be greatly appreciated and I have some $ in PayPal as a thanks. Any help as in a ROM that allows a Nav Bar Resize.. A way to move it to the top of my tablet screen... Some way I can put a google search bar under it or anything to waste that space. Thanks for ideas, hoping to save my N7 and keep it usable without having to rotate it everytime I need that portion of my screen!

I could have sworn I've seen navbar mods somewhere. You could always consider using PIE controls, however, if you want to remap them to the left/right screen edges.
Thanks for the quick reply. Pie Controls is a very useful work around for now. The app would be amazing if it let me choose exactly where on the screen I could pull up the navigation bar, but even without that option it is a great help!
I've seen some Mods but all of them seem to shrink the Bar, not enlarge it.
The reason I want to extend the stock navigation bar isn't just to be able to touch the buttons but it also pushes all opened apps, my home screen, etc up past that point that is cracked... So while playing a game or in my options menus I would still be able touch the bottom of my screen, just above the navigation bar (which I can't do now.) Basically, the top of the Bar is the bottom of my touch screen and it isn't high enough for me to use the entire screen =(

LMT Launcher is a pie control interface. It allows you to open from anywhere on the left or right and you can setup gestures as well with it to do the navbar functions. Look it up here on xda.

Is there any way show the notification panel by swiping from the bottom of the screen instead of the top(default)?
basically is there anything that will allow me to view the expanded notification panel without having to pull down from the status bar?
You haven't gotten any responses because it isn't possible. End of story. New to Android?

Nah but upgrading from a galaxy s4 that has been on 4.4 for 3 years(custom rom) With the new galaxy, its harder to reach the status bar when using one hand.
I agree with you with this one... The navigation bar is a bit of a pain to reach, Although pinning apps to edge bar seems to work OK for me.

then use the one hand operation to make it easier. that's what it is there for. tap the home button three times. that will make the screen smaller, and easy for one hand operation. if you don't have it setup, then go into settings, and advanced settings.
You should try the notification edge panel I bought it straight away then i realised I could of bought the edge notification panel from playstore with the reward app I had.
No way to move the notification pull down itself, but using Nova Launcher Prime (the pay version), you can set up a screen gesture to open the notification shade. You can assign to a downward swipe (starting anywhere on the screen), or a double tap, or other options. Unfortunately, I think this only works from the home page, not from within another app.

Yup. best answer!
I've been using this for years. Still not the same as having a smaller phone though.
Swipe down for notifications, swipe up to sleep.

I should have posted an update but found a work around.
Using All In One Gestures app, I can swipe up from the home button and it will expand the notification panel. This works in any app unlike the Nova option.
Hi, you can use fooView, it allows to expand notification just pulling down the floating icon down, and other actions like back, home, recent, etc. with just one hand.

My notification bar is always dropping down (sometimes intermittently) when I am using the Samsung S8 without me having to pull it down or receiving notifications. It is becoming quite annoying because every few seconds I have to drag it back up so that I am able to use the phone. Has someone else encountered the same issue?
Regards,
Press on the little white dot far left, it makes it stay uo.

It kept the bar visible or let it slide down.

Go to setting, search for navigation bar. The top item says show and hide item. That toggles the dot on and off.

That dot from the far left it is for the navigation bar. I was referring to the notification bar, the one at the top of the screen. Also every now and then the apps edge blinks intermittently and it coincides with the notification bar drop.

Did you enable fingerprint gesture to pull down notification shade? Settings>advanced features and then see under "finger sensor gestures"

No, I didn't. The settings are the factory ones.
Are you using a screen protector?

Yes I do, but the issues started before adding the screen protector. I took it down and still it persists
The problem was solved. If you ask me what caused the issue I have no ideea. All I can do is describe the exact steps I took.
1. I took of the screen protector just in case it was causing the issue
2. I restored the phone to factory settings
3. After that I didn't install any apps and didn't intstall any backups, no passwords, no face recognition, no pin, I omited all of the steps.
It seemed to have worked flawlessly I have no idea why and what was actually casing the issue with the notification bar. One day has passed so far and no notification bar issue so far.
I hope it's gonna stay this way
I've scoured the settings to make the nav buttons on the v20 to remain on-screen all the time, but nothing. Is this possible?
Or is this an issue with Oreo and browsers?
It could be that you have the navigation buttons set to "hide" and they don't play well with the Samsung browser. If the small square dot on the far left side of the navigation bar is a outline only (not filled in) then you are in auto hide mode. Just tap the dot once to change it to always be visible. I'm not saying that this is your problem just offering to you as a possibility to try out.
Also: If they are hidden to start with then the way you unhide them is drag your finger up diagonally from the far bottom left, the navigation bar should now be visible.

Thanks for that drag tip, that's very handy, and my nav bar does have the outline only square dot, but tapping it brings up all the current open apps.
I think that you misunderstood, the auto hide is the one that the red arrow is pointing to. Solid box is visible all the time, outline is auto hide. Tap once to change the state.

Thank you for the pic, I don't have that dot though. Is the layout different between models of the v20 as mine is the H918, or does using a different launcher (Nova) make a difference?
