[Q] Screen Capture

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.
And we're done

volume up and power until phone turns off and go into recovery
volume down and power until phone turns off and go into odin

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

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.

Disabling Menu and back button While handwriting?

Is thene a way to disable the menu and back button while using the handwriting feature? l am finding that my hand is touching the buttons whIle trying to write. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I was just thinking of this issue today.

Constantly having the same problem too...
Same thing with the Home button while its in my pocket...

I disabled my menu and back buttons completely and enabled the on screen navigation buttons. Only problems I've noticed are the stock camera app and call log don't adjust well still usable though.

How do I remap HOME to MENU key?

hi all,
how do I remap the HOME function to the MENU key? Since the soft keys are a lot easier to press,
I like to do something like:
- press once on MENU to do 'menu' (as before)
- double tap on MENU to do 'home key'
Mine is running stock 4.1.2 and rooted.
Thank you.
mike

No suggestion or is this not possible?
Thanks.

Try the app button savior.

Thanks. But that's not really what I want. I don't want a set of floating buttons on my screen...
I just want to use what I already have.

Power Button issues

Looking for some help to change my power button to wake my phone and use all the other shortcuts in the power button menu. The power button still works but I don't have a physical button . I removed it from my phone due to the button sticking and random resets. I'm running Project X 3.9 .

Check the quickpanel settings. I don't think there is a power setting. Rom Toolbox may be what you need for getting to the power on/off. As for the pother options, if they can't be added through the AIO, then you might want to try an AOSP ROM. There is a tutorial on how to add things to the power section. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125196

Install this app. It will allow you to choose settings for the phone to turn on off, eg taking it out of your pocket, putting it down face down, etc. The E4GT power button is a known issue and the reason I got rid of mine. I didn't have this app at the time though. Hopefully it helps you.

I found this app that switches the volume rocker buttons to wake your phone and and gives you a shortcut to turn your screen off , reboot. I'm using the search softkey to power off screen.

It looks like you got a fix. But let me just add that you should also use nomoarhpowah. Which I highly recommend. Because your button may break completely one day and you want to be ready.
