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.

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!

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

Great tip! Works like a champ!!
I believe it does not work is you have auto brightness enabled.

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

Other than pressing the home screen button is there a way to get the s pen to take you back to the home screen? Tried a quick Google search but couldn't find anything.
Only way right now is to buy GMD SPen Control from the market and create your own gesture.

Thanks but I'll wait and see if there might be an update that will allow it before I spend $5 on it.

Also if you don't know already, open the "Help" app for a list of pen features and how to do them.

Im pretty sure you can create your own gestures with out having to buy anything. Plus there is already a way to get to hime. But you have to draw the back button .ill look for it and post it here. With the way to create gestures
Go to settings... s pen..... s pen settings. There you can create a gesture or a function you want the s pen to do. Theres also s help page at the bottom when you scroll all the way down.

I have been running jellybeans rom since build 8 and haven't had a problem yet. Although now after going to build 16, I can't seem to figure out how to ditch the eye icon in the notification bar. It covers my clock and is a nuisance. I believe this is associated with smart screen timeout, but maybe I'm wrong and is never supposed to go away.
Any thoughts?
Turn off smart stay and smart rotation. That permanent eye is a "feature" of 4.1.2

Thanks for that, I realized that even though smart stay was unchecked, smart rotation was selected and grayed out. I turned auto screen orientation on and then off and then it allowed me to turn off smart rotation.
Thanks again.
