Samsung Galaxy S3

I see Samsung have issued a small update that puts a brightness slider in the notification menu. My phone tells me that no new updates are available through, so I hope SA gets it soon. One of the S3's few shortcomings is the wonky automatic brightness - this new feature is much appreciated.

Awesome! Checked on KIES?

Not yet. It's a small update though, so the point of software update functionality in the OS would be pointless if it couldn't handle a small thing like this.

Ive got a vodacom branded s3 and it says theres no OTA or firmware update in Kies :(
 
Is it really THAT hard to just click the gear, then display, then brightness? Seriously?
 
I've actually been running my S3 on auto brightness since I got it.

The battery does take a hit - but it's nice to have the screen as bright as you need it at all times :D
 
Well that's what I'm forced to do currently. A shortcut would be great.

Why not just download a widget? I mean if they were sticking us with a year old OS, that would be something to complain about but this is nothing.
 
also cm9 version has the camera problems fixed. Oh so they say. Just need to also flash a particular radio with the last night if you plan to test.
 
Checked out a few S3 pouches but they fit so tight that you battle to get the phone out. Kinda stupid ...
 
My Raspberry Pi running XBMC + my S3 with the XBMC remote app = the best thing ever :D
