...on the fly...
somtimes my phone switches to one handed and im not sure how im doing it, but it does. I wanted to know if there was a way to put it back to dual hand without having to go into settings.
I would also be interested in this. I would like to be able to easily toggle from full to one handed keyboard without having to go in to the settings, if possible.

thanks, that will have to do for now, but i've accidentally switched to one handed mode a few times while handeling my phone with the screen on...there's gotta be some sort of gesture, i just dont know what it is. I never set one anyways.
You can pinch to zoom (make it one handed) and spread (opposite of pinch) to make it go back to full keyboard. I hope this helps.

That doesn't seem to work for me. Do I have to enable something?

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.

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
i have looked but could not find what i was looking for.i have an sgs3 from sprint,stock.the swipe for screen shot worked then stopped working.i dont know if an app or setting caused this.i have the feature checked in options,but still no luck.can anyone help.if this has been discussed,please direct me to where.thank you
Idk but as an alternative, you can just hold home+power and it'll take a screenshot. Did you debloat your rom? Maybe you removed the motion apk?

Try this, go to Settings, then Motion, then scroll to the bottom. There should be a section title "Hand Motions". Make sure "Palm swipe to capture" is checked.

You know you have to actually place your hands on the phone right?

yeah.i have tried a bunch of ways,but i am obviously doing something wrong.crazy how im making something thats supposed to be so simple so complicated..lol
Funny thing is I was watching a review on the SG3 the other day and the guy in the video couldn't get it to work either
The hold home+power button didn't work?

I gave up on using the Palm swipe method. Works sometimes and when it does I'm usually dragging a screen with it and taking a picture mid-animation. Home+ power works much better.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It always works for me, but it can be clumsy and change the screen when you touch it. It is a neat idea, imo, so I wouldn't give up. Did you try doing a reset after wiping cache?

Make sure your using the side of your hand. (Like karate chop) place it firmly on the screen then pause for a sec then Swype. works for me every time.

yeah i just use the power/home button.the swipe is cool when it works.tried to show it off and made a fool of myself...lol
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.

check your settings.
go to Motion / Palm swipe to capture
and enable it.
I use the back key more than the menu key and find it to be quite a stretch when using one-handed.
Anyway to flip the buttons around?

If I use the S Pen, then the phone is in my right hand.
Skip Button Savior and go right to GMD Gesture Control Paid. Works ideally for me.
The lite version lacks custom gestures so you need the paid version.

Will it be possible for a dev to switch the actual buttons though -- I'd rather not add more buttons to the screen.

Put the edge of your hand on one side and swipe the hand across the screen like it was a handheld scanner. The image will be captured and saved in the Gallery under Screenshots.
For the palm swipe capture make sure it's activated in the motion settings

I use the palm swipe mostly.
You can also use the S Pen as well if you want.
Its about 3rd down in the list below.

This also gives you the option of annotating the screen grab before you save it :good:
