i have both sgs1 and sgs 2...i have noticed one thing ..that the haptic feedback in sgs2 is not as responsive and not as instense as it used to be in sgs1...is it only with me or otherz have also noticed this thing....??
Have you tried lowering/maximizing the vibrating intensity in Settings?
And if you did, only thing i could think of is they lowered the intensity on the SGS2 deliberatily because then it saves battery compared to the intensity on the SGS1. (i never had a SGS1, so it's a wild guess)

Which keyboard do you use? Use the swype-keyboard. That way the haptic is a bit stronger. You don't need to necessarily swype using Swype keyboard, you can also type on it and it's neat to have all symbols under the normal keys (long press for symbol). Give it a try and let me know if it changes anything.

what do you guys use, whats more "battery friendly?"
I've used NoLED since last august, never had any battery issues. Love the idea that I can look at my phone and see gmail, gtalk, or gosms app icon on the screen if I have new messages.

I prefer bln because noled does eat more battery life because its still turning the screen on, hence: why you have to hit the home key instead of the power key to read your message. Bln is led light only. Downside is you don't know what type of message it is with bln.

Try them both and see which one you like. Neither uses much battery at all. I like no led so I can tell what messages it is.
No LED could cause screen burn in though.

I use BLN. Once you have BLN you can just go into each app that supports led notification and modify the settings there and instead of using the default bln setting you set in the bln app your phone will use those settings instead. So you can change the BLN frequency to help you distinguish between the different types of messages.

How? It doesn't stay in one place. I have never heard of any screen burn in by noled from anyone.
It could really only cause burn in if you don't have it set to move the icons every few seconds.
I prefer BLN just because its brighter, and the unlocking procedure doesn't change.
If he figures out individual light blinks, it will be even better.
I've used both, and haven't seen any excessive battery drain on either. However, both come with apps that let you configure the settings, so YMMV.
Is there a way to change the intensity of the vibration? I'm running on cm7. The vibration for text messages are really short (about half a second) and you can barely feel it. My old phone, a mytouch slide vibrated much harder.
Go to messaging/settings/notification settings/vibrate pattern. Doesnt change intensity.

OK been using adj brightness in the market and it was brilliant in brightness control. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the galaxy s2 and because my eyes play up, am finding the phone to bright for me especially when using it at night when lights are off, what alternatives are their to lower the brightness level please.?
For Amoled screens of any type "Screen Filter" seems to be the best.
I agree. Screen Filter seems to be excellent and can make the screen as dark as you ever want. (to a level that no LCD can ever go to imo)
Thanks guys it worked it is the best av seen so far.
I got mine sgs2 on Saturday and hadn't really thougth I would need an App to control this, the settings ont he power widget were good enough for me. However, I tried this out for a laugh and it works well. Will definitely use it at night time.
Although at the moment I am just enjoying the super brightness
Birghtness control from the notification bar
Can one still adjust the brightness by swiping the finger along the notification bar, like one did on the i9000?
Can one disable the automatic brightness from somewhere in the settings menu on the i9100 in the same way as the i9000?
Yep, same thing works in the SGSII.

Your location is marked as London, so I think that you ought to be able to write a non-nonsensical sentence in English. No offence, but this is unintelligible!

Hi Crypticc,
You misunderstood what I wrote.
1) I referred to a partially completed sentence:
" How I just tried dropped down and not" - not what?
2) You have confused the verb 'to swipe' with an application called Swype.
As I noted, you wrote your location was from London, yet that you are not a native anglophone; No problem, but I was a little confused in the beginning.
To summarize: Your reply confused me. You partially clarified what you wrote, and now I understand. Thank-you.
* Back on topic
In order to change the brightness by swiping along the notification bar, please ensure that you have turned off the automatic brightness adjustment setting in the menu. I do not recall the exact name. Then, it should work.
I think that this can be found in : Settings -> Display -> Brightness
Best regards.

I tried rather than did that's the problem
( swype just replaced swipe with swype - oh and it replaced a few other words too).
That said, thanks for the tips folks; both on previewing/reviewing posts, plus on how to swipe to change the brightness.
What would you all suggest be the optimal brightness setting to put the phone on?

I'm having trouble with the vibration intensity on my SGS2...it is very inconsistent...when I set it to where I want it, after awhile I'll notice that I can't feel any haptic feedback either on the keyboard or the buttons. I'll go back in to the settings and they'd be the same, but I'd increase and I could feel it again, but then after awhile the intensity will be way too high and I'll have to go back and set it where I had it previously.
This seems like it might be a hardware issue as it did it with the stock rom as well as UnNamed. Any other ideas?
I have always left mine at the default level, and haven't has issues on stock or UnNamed or S8. Do you only have this problem after changing the default setting? Does it happen if you don't change the intensity from default?

I never messed with it until I noticed I couldn't feel it anymore...I wonder if it could be the A.I. Type keyboard I'm using, it has its own haptic intensity settings too, I suppose it could be interfering with the global setting...the problem is that it just seems to change on its own...
I had a problem using the gingerbread keyboard from the market, having issues with vibration, but only within the keyboard. The problem never effected my global settings. Try a different keyboard and see if the problem persists. I like the stock keyboard or swiftkey. I have heard you can get it free from getjar.com.

I disabled the AI Type and enabled the stock Samsung keyboard and it's the same. I can go into settings/sound/vibration intensity and move the slider up and down and I can feel the different intensities just fine, very strong on the high end of the scale...but as of right now, whatever I select it makes no difference to the actual intensity I get from the buttons, it never changes...wierd.
I am now on cyanogenmod, but have the feeling that the original ROM has longer battery life because of the different auto backlight levels.
Does anybody of you know which values should I use in Cm7 to have about the same settings of the stock Rom?
Cheers

hmm, i cant telly ou exactly now, due to my atrix being in repairs, but if i remember correctly you have to go to cyanogendmod settings and than find there (im not 100% sure its under display) the option to filter sensor input (must turn on, at least so it was on the early nightlies) and adjust backlight levels accordingly than.
Yeah it's right. Actually, I was asking for the values to be used there for having the same experience of Motorola ROM

Meh, try it out to your liking, I've had like 10 steps, first one at lowest brightness (which the stock rom can't even do).
