My brightness slider is gone all together. That's why I was wondering if they have something in the settings. I have looked and looked

Yeah it's that "show control on top" option shown above. That's how I did it.

Yeah but how do I get to that when my brightness slider is gone?

I used a theme for the status bar icons to make them blue and that is what's doing it.

brightness slider feature lost? stock rooted ics

Since upgrade to ics I have been unable to utilize the feature where you slide your finger over the top of the notification bar to change brightness. This is even with auto brightness unchecked. A really useful feature for me.

Are you talking about the brightness control on notification pull down? If so then you can have 15 toggle mod, it has the brightness toggle to control brightness from notifications.
yeah its not there on ics

check settings\system\status bar and check BRIGHTNESS CONTROL. There is no longer an actual slider bar that displays. Just touch and hold the top of the status bar and slide your finger back and forth.

Download an app called display brightness from the play store, its by dev called rubberbigpepper. It emulates that feature and I actually prefer it.

Just slide that area down and it will show.
It's just like one of the expansive notifications. If you slide your finger down the notification toggles area it show. And if you slide your finger up that area it should hide it.

It's not the case for me. Not working I've tried swiping in every direction. I do have Wanam installed with a couple of tweaks. Hopefully that's not the reason it's not working because I can't do without Wanam.
Hi all, I can help you !
GS5 user here, soon to be Note 4 - but I just tested this out on mine and got it to work.
To add/remove the brightness adjustment, drag the notification screen down, touch the upper right icon that looks like 4 boxes, touch the little pen icon to Edit your menu and check/uncheck the Brightness adjustment option.

happened to me during the 1st day when I was playing around with everything, I do believe it happened when I hit the ultra powersaving mode option, then after disabling that feature, I think it came back after a restart,
I wish mine was gone!
I know this thread is long dead, but I had the same issue and found a solution. First, the slider had only disappeared when I was on manual brightness. As soon as I turned on manual from the notification panel, it disappeared. Here's the voodoo I found in desperation that got it to work.
With auto-brightness already on (and in the notification panel) Go to Settings>Display>Brightness and move the slider (do not click the uncheck). Drop the panel down, and it should now be there and you can check and uncheck without it disappearing. Some dumb glitch, and simply turning auto-brightness back on the settings panel would only bring it back until I switched off auto-brightness.

Notification Bar Swipe Down

After adding a case, I find it incredibly hard to swipe the Notification panel down. Same with side bar, but there is a useful app to correct that Called "Side Apps Bar".
How can I increase the area that I have to touch to pull down the Notifications bar? Highly frustrating when I have to swipe 5 times to get it to come down.
Are you on sprint?

If it Was Sprint there is an app that is causing problems with the Notification bar

Do you have the latest TouchWiz home that allows you to swipe down anywhere to drop the notification bar? Much easier than reaching way up there or using the fingerprint gesture, see this thread.

Sweet! Thanks
You can also use the fingerprint scanner to pull down the bar.
Its in the settings. But once setup, you can swipe down on the scanner with any finger to pull down the bar.
And swipe up to push it back up.

Very useful, thanks for the tip
These are great tips, but, they don't work too great in other apps. Is there a way to extend the swipe down area system wide?

Does the fingerprint gesture only pulls down the notification panel once for you guys? I tried swiping again after but it won't fully expand notification panel for me. I wish it would.

Why not just download the latest TouchWiz and swipe down anywhere?

I think because that only works on the home screens. Swiping with the fingerprint sensor works within apps

There's a setting I missed. Nice, I like that a lot, thanks.
But yeah like liquidguru said, the fingerprint gesture can come in handy sometimes. I dn't use the fingerprint scanner for anything else so mightbas well make use of it some how. Oh well.

Auto Rotate is turned off, that icon represents your phone being locked in veritcal position.

Just long tap on it and select Details to see what is it.
Turns out it was auto rotate and because of systemui tuner. It doesn't show up normally though

Up top there's not a new notifications panel in settings main menu? Should and should tell you what that number is about. Sometimes settings notifications false.
