[Q] Screen Capture - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Has anyone figured out how to take a screen shot with it yet?
I9100 has the feature but I cant find it with the T989.

Tap home, then power button

There's also a app that takes screen shots without root, forgot the name. It works on the t-989

Home + power. if you want an app then use "Screen Capture Shortcut free". it works like a charm.

It's hold power and tap home a second later

I found pressing the home button first then the power button is a little easier from a timing standpoint. I works perfectly IMO.

So, when I tap the home button first I get the task manager and pressing the power button takes a screen shot of the task manager.
If I press the power button first I get the airplane mode/ power off window and pressing home I get a screen shot of that.
Do I need to work on my timing or speed? How to get a shot of the window I want and not one of these other two things?

You can hit both of them at the same time, it usually snaps the screenshot that you want.

Most of the Roms when you hold the power button down like your going to shut it off will give you the option to take a screenshot. I am using BeastMOD II v2.5 and option is there.

My phone won't screenshot with the button combo but it is in my power menu. And yes, it has SU permission.

Indeed. Aside from the boot combinations that's about it.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
Hold search button for voice commands.
Now we're done
well if were gonna go there, hold home for recent apps
and i wish holding back would kill current app like in MIUI
Menu key opens menu (in apps that support it).
The volume rocker obviously controls the volume... And if you hold the volume down it puts your phone on silent with vibration.
Lol... Now were done here.

I did this while trying to respond to this post and my phone suddenly rebooted. I'm not sure what I did wrong
Home brings you to the home screen when in an app.

Some ROMs allow for holding volume buttons to change tracks. I think we're done now ;p

heres a hidden one...tapping the power button turns the screen off. techwire news just announced a juicy little tip, tapping power button one time while screen is off will actually turn it back on thought id pass these new tricks on.

Well, if you're going to get into the soft keys, holding Home brings up recently used apps and task manager. hold the search brings up an app selection including Sound hound if you have it installed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually assign something to a long menu press on stock? I know you can do it with CM7, but I haven't found anything for TouchWiz.
If your phone is on and you have cwm installed you can press and hold the power and volume buttons together and it will take you straight to recovery.

Hotkey (Shortcut) for Screen shots?

What's the best way to create a hotkey shortcut for a screen shot? With my previous HTC Amaze, I could press the Power and center button and it would take the shot without having to launch an app before hand. Anyway to do this?
Thanks,
You can do that with your galaxy s3 too
even with your hands on the screen !

Ahhh, got it! You have to hit them both at the exact same time. Thanks!
Also just learned you can swipe the side of your hand across the screen and it will also snap a screen shot.
You are missing the cool features of sgs3.
Swype from left to right or right to left with palm of your hand. That's how you take screen shot. Like you scan a page.

Yeah, but if you have folders open where you want to take a screenshot of the content swiping the hand doesn't always work (the physical touch on the screen closes the folder). For this I use the two button method.

Has anyone figured out how to take a screenshot with the Note 2 yet? I can't seem to figure it out lol

I tried that before I posted here but it wouldn't work. I'm guessing now it's because I still have the screen cover that came with the phone on it. I didn't plan on taking that off until I received my real screen protector. I'll take it off and give it a try though thank you.

Use spen. Press button, keep it holding and put it on the screen. Job done.
Or u can use home + power button to take a screen shot....

Menu Button = Home Button.
To Screen Capture on N7100,
Press Home Button + Power Button at the same time for a moment.
When you see a white flash with a snap sound occur, then you have a screen capture on what you view on the device.
You can view the screen capture picture on Gallery -> Screenshots Folder.
Hope this help. :silly:
You guys!
Go into the options, and then MOTION. There's an option called Palm swipe to capture.
That's the easiest and fastest way to get the WHOLE screen without taking out the SPen. I use the SPen to just capture a piece of the screen by holding down the button and drawing a shape around what I want to capture, connecting both ends (closing the loop) and there you have it!!

[Q] Taking Screen Shots without the S Pen

Is this possible? I don't like using the S pen to take screen shots because I always end up marking up the image and it gets annoying having to take it out just for a quick screen shot.
Slide your hand across your screen.. boom... I find it works best using the back of my hand with my fingers touching the screen as well
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Yes if you swipe your palm across the whole screen either right or left it will take a screen shot. Also holding down the power button plus the home key will also do it.

Neither of these work for me, I guess it doesn't work on Nova Launcher and only Touchwiz.
Thank for the replies though!:good:
Edit: never mind, holding power + home worked! thank again guys!
Just hold power button and home button down at same time and it takes a screen shot hope that helps
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
also the palm swipe requires that you enable "MOTION" and check the screenshot option (motion is off by default unless you selected to enable it)
I can confirm ALL THREE operations function. press hold spen (pressing button) or palm swipe or simul press hold home and power.

Any way to fix home button wake up bug?

Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.
The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?
I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.
This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39326
The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?
I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.
