Hello! Nobody working to map the Home or Power On button to take pictures? Regards..
Yeah, was looking for this as well... Looked into tasker but that doesn't seem to be appropriate for it (was thinking something 'in camera app, if btn pressed, do this)
power button for taking pictures would be awesome!

wouldn't that mean you cant turn off your phone or on because if theres a dedicated camera key theres no power button
i´d say the camera app should be modded to use the power key, so only when camera is open this is true.
well on JM2 the powe button does something when you use the camera ... it lock every function
that's weird because you can't do anything ... no taking pictures, no killing the app, only unlock it by pressing the power button again
I agree this i cool in the video player
but in the camera ?!?

Selftimer.
Not a self-timer afaik. Even a lock icon comes up. I have used it a few times. Basically when you wait to take a picture you can have the picture app open and then have it in the pocket ready to be taken out, so you don't have to worry about a) opening the app quickly when you want to take the pic, b) having the app open and taking pictures/returning to home when you don't want to. Not a "must-have" feature by any means and it probably uses a lot more battery than just opening the app when you want to.
Changing it to take pictures would be most welcomed. Tapping on the screen is quite a delicate thing when you don't want to move the phone at all.
I meant that it could get practical if you put the camera on selftimer and lock the screen so you don't mistakenly press any button.

Why we don't make a donation for that? I will put 10€ for the cause

ok, but i found this still stupid
it empty the battery for nothing, and people who don't take much attention won't see the lock icon so they will think : **** it bugged ....

I was looking at this, as I want some way to take pics quickly. Home and Power button don't seem easily do-able, but does anybody want the following?
Quick launching app that you can put on your homescreen, that launches a camera preview. Tapping on the screen takes a pic and saves it to /sdcard/$date.jpg
Not quite a dedicated camera button, but should be very fast for taking a quick picture. If a couple people want it, I'll throw it together quickly. (Might just throw it together for myself quickly anyway )

I find the lock function to be useful when taking long videos as I've accidental knocked the stop button on occasion by accident.
On a second note, if a physical shutter button was sought-after wouldn't the volume buttons be more effective as the power button is fairly near the top and you'll probably end up covering the lens versus using the volume buttons on the bottom (this is presuming you're taking pictures in landscape, right?)
Edit - I'm an idiot.
To capture a screenshot, hit power+home. You have to hit home very quickly -after- the power button.

I believe also you can swipe your edge of your hand across to screen to obtain a screen capture.

Use Spen. Just put it on the screen and hold for 2-3 seconds..
Screenshot Captured.

Is there no other way?
On the galaxy note (the first one) I could swipe my hand across the screen and it could capture a higher resolution image than that of the SPen button press combo to capture.
I can't figure out how to do a screen capture on the note 2! I just got it last night, but still!!!
How do you take a screen shot without the SPen?
Settings, Motion, Palm swipe to capture screen.

Screenshot not allowed
For some apps screenshots are not allowed. IE bank apps.
How do I remove this?
swiping usually will cause the screen to shift slightly and not able to capture what u exactly want
Hold power + home for a few seconds.
EDIT: Looks like you have it. Ignore this
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.
So I was holding my phone in my hand, not touching the power or home button, but I wiped my screen off with my hand and it somehow took a screenshot..??? I tried to replicate it but it won't happen, is there some alternate way to take screenshots in 6.0 that I don't know about..?
Thanks!

If you swipe the side of your palm from right to left it screenshots it that way. You have to do it at a certain speed though and by your palm i mean making it look like you're chopping something in half.. To see what I mean go into Settings and then look for Advanced features and you'll see "palm swipe to capture" tap it and it will show you how to do it.
Hold power and home

ahhhh, found it..!! Thanks bro, I had no idea about this..!
Hi,
Just checking if there is any way we can use the side key double press as a screen capture. Like creating a shortcut to call the default screen capture. Then use that shortcut in the side key settings double press. >> Open app
making screenshot now is a bit difficult because both buttons are now on the left.
Thanks!
