I just got the S4 today. There seem to be lots of things for me to go through. Anybody knows where the Task Manger button is on the S4 like the far right button on the Nexus 4?
The left is Menu. The right is Back. The middle button is Home. Thanks.
Hold the home button for a few seconds.....

Hello fellows,
I have question about screenshots in SGS2. How I can take them? Only by special application, connecting it to PC via HDMI cable or another? I was just wondering to take some pictures from Galaxy on Fire 2 and Reckless Racing
Thanks and greetings.
Press Menu and Power at the same time.
shoot me on the market is good too. sometimes i want to take a screenshot while pressing a button and cant with the built in screenshot feature so i use shoot me.
you just shake the phone to take a screen shot.

Release HOME

Press both at same time is actually right. You can hold HOME and press POWER and release POWER and stay holding HOME though.
I'm using "screen capture" on the market
here's the link

HOME + POWER works like a charm, no root required, no need to install any additional apps

Hallelujah! I never got that, was pressing both buttons simultaneously which just locked the screen. This works better, though still not every time like on iOS.
I just found this in the NS4G forum and I wondered if anyone could do it? I have small hands and it's hard for me to reach the menu button but if the search button could be changed I'd be a happy person

i'd say you need to post those files for someone to work on it.
they have an app in the market but I can't remember the name.
It remaps your search key.
I'll try and adb pull these files if I get the chance...not sure how much editing they need or if you can jsut follow the instructions in the other thread for the NS4G
i had the same problem, so i rooted my phone, installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
and remapped the keys. now im happy

which version did you use
DONT get the galaxy s version.
It works but kinda limited... Still better than nothing.
Also, if you remap, you lose long press.

lose long press of what?

Long press of home key, long press of search key... Home key brings up task manager, search key brings up voice command. You would lose that.

Has anyone gone in and looked at actually 'physically remapping' the keys.
All I want is to switch out Home and Menu. Plus, if they are actually just switched on the board, there would be no long-press loss.
Eff it, I'm gonna give it a shot.
Update: Nah, forget that... Once I got up in there, I saw that the leads from the cap keys to its controller are all underneath the digitizer, and that is hard-glued to the edge of the board chassis. I'm not going in THAT deep, lol.
Oh well, a shot was given.

not on my phone. they are both working for me
I would love it if I could set more "long-press" buttons on my phone. Like if I could Long-press the menu button to bring up my call history or something like that.
Bit of a bizarre bug I've noticed. If you open a program that has the settings button in the bottom right of the screen, and then use the power button to close down, when you hit the power button again, you get an unusable settings button on your lockscreen.
Don't know if anyone else has noticed, or if it's been picked up before. I searched but couldn't find anything. It's not really even an issue. Just thought I'd share it...
its a secret.

Hey Guys,
As of today, I have noticed a button which looks like half a ball on my phone... When I click it a list of programs pop out?
I can move it to the top of the screen, the bottom and middle of the screen... But I cannot turn it off?
Do you guys know what it is?
If it's any help, I can say that I am using go launcher...

Lucky son of a gun!!!...
I have my fingers crossed the AT&T version will also have Multi-Window at launch or at least get an update soon after.
What do you mean by multi? i have just tried it... Holding down the back button for 2 seconds, and then opening a program. It just opens up a new program at full screen
Drag an icon to to the top and another to the bottom
Hello everyone, new here just purchased galaxy nexus yesterday, got rid of my galaxy s2! One thing I'm missing is the screen shot feature. I haven't figured out if this phone has it or not. If not is there a way to add? Haven't yet rooted phone either.. How long do you think it will be before this phone gets 4g? Thanks to all for your help.
Screen shot is in just about every single ROM out.
What do you mean when will it get 4g?the LTE antenna isn't going anywhere.
You just have to press together the power button + the volume down button. Simple!
