Swipe your palm across the screen

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....

You have to go to settings and enable motion settings for palm screenshot to work

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!!

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.

My friend told me use palm to cover the whole screen then it can make screen shot but I try it not working
You have to slide the SIDE of your hand across the screen either left or right
Covering the screen with your hand mutes sound like music ect.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I can't get that slide your hand trick to work. You can press the home button + power button to take a screenshot too.
It's very simple.. This should help http://www.blogyourearth.com/en/sma...-samsung-galaxy-s3-palm-swipe-to-capture/3986
Make sure yu have the setting on.. Settings /motion / palm swipe to capture also the side of your palm has to be TOUCHING the screen as your swiping.. I've seen others with this problem they were waving their hands across instead of actually touching the screen...

That's one way. The easiest way, IMO, is the hold Power + Home button combo.

I still can't get this to work. If I touch my palm to the screen, the notification bar comes down or the screen swipes to the next page or something. Maybe I am just stupid. I will just just the button method forget this gesture crap.

Don't use your palm face down to do it.. You have to turn your hand right and use the SIDE of your palm then swipe across like in the picture in the link I posted.. Good luck hope you get it!

much easier to do the power button/ home screen combo.. the palm swipe is just for show imo.. sometimes my screen slides too other times i get it perfect.
doesnt really have to be the side f your palm. ive tested using each of my fingers and its worked.from left to right. it just takes a little getting used to is all
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.
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.

Hi there. Before update to JB on my S3, when i do my readings on the phone, screen blackout, press the HOME button, the screen will come back up.
Now, screen blackout, press HOME button, screen come back up but the app or browser that I'm using will close down instead of just led the screen on (where the app still there)
Anyone has a way to fix this? Keep pressing on the POWER button to light up the screen is not as Convenient as by using the HOME button.
Thank you.

Glad it's not just me. This has been driving me bonkers ever since I updated. It's really the only complaint I have about the official 4.1.1. ROM right now. Would love to hear some suggestions on how to fix. In the meantime, I've been trying to train myself to use the side power button for screen on action.
Is there anyway that we can make suggestions on this matter?
It bugs me when I read on the bed at night.

this has been happening on jelly bean ROMs (not cm tho) ever since the leas came out - at least for me anyways. very irritating sometimes but yes, you are not the only one.
Bump. No one else is annoyed by this but us or has any idea for a fix?
Only 'fix' is to use smart stay when theres enough light. Otherwise increase your screen on time to one min. I had to increase my time since I use it at night so often.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
An easy fix is just to use your power button as soon as the screen blacks out.
It wakes the screen back up without closing down the current app your in... I just tested it out and it works, doesn't lock the phone either.
But if you don't wanna use the power button then I suggest you increase your screen time out to one minute or more if you don't want the screen blacking out fast.

Very annoying and not something that can be considered useful in anyway, so a bug in my opinion.

Its really just doing what its supposed to before the device locks. I guess they expected smart stay to take care of it.
If you keep double press home to open svoice enabled it should also stop this from happening.

Bingo. This is the answer. I'd much rather have the slight lag in returning to the home screen than lose the ability to turn the screen back on with the home key. Thanks!
