Looking for some answers please read and give me any info you can

Waited and even switched carriers for this kick ass device and then waited even longer for ICS, however i now have a few issues that quite piss me off! The notification bar used to have a brightness dimmer built in, just press and hold then in 2 seconds left for dim and right for bright super handy. that is gone now so i have been stuck using auto brightness and that apparently gets disabled when you turn your device off needless to say... frustrating. Issue 2 Why the F did they take away the quick screen shot????? they were a few others i cant remember right now SUPER LATE
