Motion is "ON"
Now what?
Long press the Motion section in settings. Once the Motion setting screen pops up, scroll to the bottom. Make sure Palm Swipe to capture is "On".

I could not get mine to work at all when I first turned it on. I held my had vertically and swiped back and forth with it close to the phone then a couple of times higher and higher and nothing happens.
KB112, I followed ur direction and did have the box checked.
I couldn't even get it to work when promoted to do so after the little tutorial.
Now what?
I really used this feature a lot.
i apologize for the shameless bump but this is driving me crazy
Found the answer and I feel like an idiot but this may help anyone else who has this issue. A guy named tdriscolljr76SIII on a sprint forum said this:
I had this same issue as the instructions do not explain it well. I then went to YouTube and saw a video of how this actually works. Take the side of you hand and smear it left to right or vice versa across the entire device as if it were a light squeegee. It will then make a blur across the screen like a photocopier and save to clip board.
For some reason I thought I didn't need to touch the screen. Don't know how that went wrong for me

Pressing HOME+POWER also works to capture a screen shot.

Correct, as does pressing the button on your S-pen and holding it on the screen for a second or two.

I upgraded my phone and gallery app as well as routing and doing a clean wipe on my note 2.My screen capture hasn't worked for the past week.My problem was that when I did the clean wipe, it didn't restart with a "Screenshot" folder.After creating one, swept to capture works perfect again!My 2 cents.

Maybe there is something wrong with your sensor rotation. Have it checked
Pressing "Thanks" button will be much appreciated if user's posts useful for you
You are using a GB rom right?
I had that problem about two years ago. It happens when you wrongly calibrate your sensor. To change it just go back to the settings==>display (if it is not there don't blame me i haven't used a GB rom since a while and forgot many things). I am sure there are a lot of tutorials on that topic just google it.

Try to calibrate your phone's screen with an app from play store (Search: calibrate screen). Make sure your phone is on the surface (in condition you are NOT holding your phone).
Good luck!

Does anyone else find it absolutely annoying that they reomved the zoom buttons on Google Maps?! Yeah, I got to double tap to zoom in, but while driving I have to use two hands to operate the app. So F-ing annoying. Not to mention the 86ing of Latitude and layers.

Sure, and next get yourself killed while driving cause this fkn method requires you to look at screen for min 3 seconds.
Tapping on old zoom buttons was easy and safe.
Google software architecting trolls suck. Their new philosophy is to promote dumbness among interfaces making then unussuable for normal people. I wonder who is the brain behind these stupid ideas.

Not practical when I pan at the same time trying to sweep area around or tracing route. Repeating double tap and hold just to zoom in out takes way more time than just pressing button to zoom and swiping to pan alternatively. I do not have to keep my eyes on the map when zoomong with button while with dtap I must. Waiting after dtap is also a waste of time.
But if you are happy with dtap, good for you. My opinion is they still suck. Too bad more dumb improvements most likely to come.

I actually only use it for quick "oh **** im lost" moments lol. Usually when im actually using navigation i use sygic. But i see where double tap to zoom can be troublesome. I'm usually stationary when i use google maps.

if you're driving, you don't even need to look at the screen for the + or - buttons....to zoom !
just tap the screen and hold then drag down to zoom in and drag up to zoom out.... That is a pretty good improvement over searching for the tiny button to click on!
jess mah 2 cents.....
Aloha!
I don't mind that the "tap & drag" method is there, I just find it annoying that the zoom buttons have been removed. Why not have both and let the user choose? Zooming with one hand while driving is FAR easier to me with the zoom buttons than the other method, which I find way too easy to get wrong when I can't give my undivided attention. The fact that the zoom buttons are always in the same place makes it easy to hit them every time. That's why I'm still using 6.14.3 and won't give it up until zoom buttons are added back into a newer version.

OK, I understand your frustrations, and Frankly, I too have issues with the new maps, and google , with their HIGH AND MIGHTY attitude won't even bother to respond to queries on their programming errors! They just have the "Take it or leave it" attitude and that bothers me.

Yeah, Google is being a bit Apple-ish in regards to Maps. Egad.
This is my first time I have used an Optimus UI phone, so everyday I'm discovering cool new features that are actually pretty usefully. I thought it would be cool if we could share these findings. I'll start...
Quick remote will pop up on the lockscreen by tapping the home button. F#####G brilliant! I owned the HTC One and S4 they both have the IR blaster that allows the control over the TV. But no quick way to access it on the lock screen.
Ohhhhhhhh...thats why the quick remote shows up in my lock screen even tho i didnt set it to be there, i thought something is wrong with my lockscreen lol, didnt know that i just keep pressibng the home button lol, thanks!!

In the quick remote app, when you add a new device, try answering no to some of the questions even if the buttons work. I discovered different remote layouts that still are completely functional. You might discover extra buttons that aren't available on the first profile it finds for you.
Fwiw, this worked for me on my air conditioner

From the time I've got the note 8, I've always been able to just take a screenshot and right after that it'd open my screenshot and i'd be able to edit it straight away (drawing on it etc.). However, for the past few hours now, that doesn't work anymore, initially it stopped opening the screenshots straight away but, it would show up in the notification panel and I'd click on it and be able to edit it like before. But now even that doesn't work it shows up in the notification panel and I click on it and it give different apps to open it with (paper artist etc.). Any suggestions? I haven't installed or uninstalled anything recently, I'm running the stock rom. I haven't touched anything to be honest but, it changed all of a sudden. Am planning of doing a factory reset, but I'd rather not. I'll be really grateful for any help.
edit:-ok, if I click edit it only opens with paper artist
I just a factory reset, but even that didn't help. Any ideas? Anyone please help, I'm desperate

Hmm i had never thought of that, I had been taking the screenshots using the swipe screen method. I just tried using the s-pen and it worked like before. I used to take the screen shots like that before(s-pen) and only recently started using the swipe screen method. My memory tells me I edited the screen shots the same way using the two methods, but I'm pretty sure my memory's wrong. Thank you so much,this had me bugging out.
Just wondering, when you take a screen shot using the swipe screen method on your phone, does it let you edit like it does normally(using the s-pen) or does is bring up the choose app thing?
Anyway thanks non the less, much appriciated.

Hi, just updated to the new software (Dec firmware) but I am still having issues with auto rotate stack widget on my fold 4. Can anyone don't mind help me to test pls?
To replicate:
1) Have stack widgets on cover screen on home page and 2nd page, press and hold, edit stack and have auto rotate on for both pages.
2) Turn off cover screen mirroring
3) Unfold phone
4) Fold phone
5) Edit stack setting on cover screen.
Does the auto rotate widget switch to off on the home page? How about the 2nd page?
Thanks!
Lock screen disappears on front screen, just can see the wallpaper.

Yeah, this bug happened awhile back in OneUI 4.x (which got fixed by a keyboard update if I'm not mistaken) and now it's returned. I avoid using the Fold to reply in a forum... I have to resort to using different device.
