[Q] Need key combination for full screen capture

I have the new Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100).
I know how to capture the part of screen by stylus but I want to capture the whole screen.
Anybody can tell me key combination to capture full screen.

little Confused.... What do you mean by full Screen Capture???
the S pen can do it by holding the button and holding the pen on the screen!!! Is that what you mean???

On the Note 1 you slide your hand across the screen, holding your hand in karate chop fashion.
Then you can go into the notifications, click on the notification and edit with Skitch etc

Do you mean the single page you are viewing but not the multi pages?
Never heard of a part screen capture.

Why don't you just use the s pen for screen capture..just press the button and tap on the screen...much easier than pressing multiple buttons.

Key combination is home + power key, or you can press the s-pen button and hold the s-pen on the screen for 2 seconds or so.

I honestly miss the sliding your hand over the screen. My Note 1 had that, and my friends S3 has it as well! I wonder why they decided to remove it from the Note 2. While I love the SPen, I don't ALWAYS use it! Sometimes I Just see something that I don't want to edit and just want to capture the screen and I just swipe and done! Now I'd have to take out the SPen, dismiss the autoaction, snap the screen shot, and then put the SPen back in. It seems like a waste of time. I hope Samsung brings back the swiping motion ASAP!

Settings, Motion, Palm swipe to capture screen.
Works great for me...

I also use to swype with my finger from left to right and it will capture your screen

Key combination: home button+power button. Hold it.

[Q] On screen buttons when detach s-pen

Hi is there a mod or app when we detach the stylus to use a menu button and back button can appear @ the bottom of the screen, because you can't use the s-pen with the hardware buttons at the moment.
Thanks for any help.

Hold the spen button down and draw < to go back, and ^ for menu.

Wow didn't know that thanks, think on screen buttons would be quicker.

[Q] Lock Menu and Back buttons when using s-note

impossible to put my hand in bottom of the phone while writing in s-note, stupid thing when you know that you can disable hand-writing and use only the s-pen, is there any way to lock the 2 tactile buttons while writing???? thanks

I was actually annoyed that I couldnt tap on the menu button and back button with the s-pen and found that there is a command for back and menu.
Open the help from your apps and choose s-pen and then commands to see it. You basically have to click on the button on the s-pen and while holding it down draw a command which is from right to left diagonally down and then to the right again for back. For menu if I recall its the top of a triangle from bottom left diagonally up then down right...I should have used my note to respond and paste an image in here

I dont think you understood me, but thanks anyway.
My question was, when i'm writing with my s-pen, i always accidentaly touch the back button, or the home or the menu button (physical and sensitive) . IS there any way to lock these buttons???????? like when watching a video and locking with power button, you canot anymore touch the home/back button, is there any way to do that in s-note? or any other apps

When I use the S Pen, the menu and back buttons are automatically disabled.
As a test, just on your home screen, hover the pen so the blue circle appears, then try and press the back and home buttons, they should not work.
Move the pen away, and they work again.

I too would prefer a way to lock the hard menu any back buttons. It is true that they don't work when the pen is in hover range but the moment it is out of hover range there is a high possibility that you hit them and they respond. It is impossible to always stay in that small range.
This feature would be really of great help when using the camera also. I keep accidentally touch the back button when trying to use the camera.

I understood the opposite of what you wanted
Mainly because as other member posted these buttons are locked while using the s pen. . However, if the s pen is not in range then they can still be pressed so you do have a point. . Maybe a customization feature in a rom. . ?? Feature request from the dev of the rom you are using?!
Well if you didn't know the s-pen shortcuts. . Now you do. .

Yea thanks

I'm not sure if that's possible but i know there's a post in the" how satisfied are you with your note 2" (or something like that) thread which has instructions on how to enable the on screen keys and disable the capacitative ones.

the problem is for me that my hand touches the back button before the pen is close enough to the screen...
stupid that there is no real setting in S-Note to disable the back + menu completly...

yeah I want that option too

yeah stupid, I'm just looking all over to solve this, but nothing yet. I also post two threads on other forums, maybe someone from SAMSUNG realize this is pretty stupid issue here,
that in writing phone, you have problems with writing. :laugh:

On my 8.4 it's power and the home button at the same time. I'd assume it should be the same for you.

Press and hold the power and Home button at the same time.
The border of the screen will go white when it's taken a screenshot

I set mine up to swipe my hand over the screen as I'm less successful with the power and home button combination.

Go into settings>device>motions and switch on palm swipe to capture. Then, for example, if you hold your device in portrait mode and swipe from right to left with your hand pointed up straight (not with your palm), this will perform a screen capture. It takes some practice at first, but I have much more success than the home>power button combo. This may not be for everyone though.
Will post a video when I have time.

Captivate and home button on side of screen?

Just got a used Note 10.1 2014 and the first thing buggin me is when using the Note I find it it difficult with the captivate and home button along the bottom. Is there an app that can move them to the right or left side of the screen? While holding it in landscape mode it just seems to make sense.

Have you tried pie control? Its a cool menu app that you can configure in any number of ways. If its not to your liking just search for "soft keys" in the play store and you will have many apps to choose from that are intended to do exactly what your looking to do. Some will require a rooted device, others won't. Pie control is a wonderful menu alternative and I know you can put soft keys in it too. heres a link for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
