Great tip! Works like a champ!!

I believe it does not work is you have auto brightness enabled.

dim the lights

is there an option to dim the capacitive buttons or turn them off when screen brightness is at 0%? or how about an app that could do that?
this was also a problem for me on the evo as I would read using the kindle app at night.

Yes there is way. You need an app to do so, and I believe it is available in the market. It is called Screen Filter.
very nice! thank you very much!
sent from my 3vo using XDA app
I wrote the dev of Screen Filter to see if he can implement a slider to adjust the capacitive buttons, rather than turning them off completely. I guess we'll see what happens...

I think the buttons on this phone are so much nicer than the track ball on the Hero. THAT was blinding in a dark room. lol

The pull down settings menu off set

Does anyone have the problem of the pull down menu bar being offset and what I mean is the black bar part sits more to the right.

Stock camera app

Does anyone know how to change the settings in the camera app without having to edit the shortcuts just to change the settings you want to use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Just press the settings icon instead of holding it. It'll pop up the menu of options.
I do that but it doesn't show all the options that are in the shortcuts. The only way to get to those is to add them to the top bar

Any cool DNA tricks to share?

so does anyone have any cool little DNA tricks that they found out? I just realized that you can pinch to zoom in the battery info graph built into sense now... so you can expand and see each hour or shorten it to get your full day view. pretty neat!

I just found out (most everyone probably already knows) that you can pinch the homescreen to show all of them.

Me neither. Neat feature.
I have to say that I really am enjoying this latest version of Sense. It's a LOT less intrusive than past versions, and doesnt seem to have any major impacts on battery life.
It's like they took out all the crappy nonsense no one liked, allowed android to shine through where its better, and kept only the useful features of Sense. I like it.

For apps with long lists of items like music or messaging, you can scroll through by letter or date by using two fingers at once.
On the call screen before making a call. Press menu and you can open a fullscreen keypad for dialing
I know most probably know this but:
Once you fill up all 5 screens you can attempt to add another app or widget and it will populate a new blank screen for you. Also if you pinch to zoom at one of the home screens, it will give you an option at the top to add a panel (screen).

[Q] Disable 360 degree rotation in Hyperdrive ROM?

I was looking at ways to disable this feature as I would love to read stuff on the bed using my phone horizontally. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Maybe let me rephrase. How to just disable the 360 rotation. I want to keep the other 270 but not rotating when the phone is upside down.
