[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.

Hotkey (Shortcut) for Screen shots?

What's the best way to create a hotkey shortcut for a screen shot? With my previous HTC Amaze, I could press the Power and center button and it would take the shot without having to launch an app before hand. Anyway to do this?
Thanks,

You can do that with your galaxy s3 too
even with your hands on the screen !

Huh? What buttons do I press?

Power key + home button together at the same time hold both keys for 2-3 seconds until screen shot is taken

Ahhh, got it! You have to hit them both at the exact same time. Thanks!

Also just learned you can swipe the side of your hand across the screen and it will also snap a screen shot.

You are missing the cool features of sgs3.
Swype from left to right or right to left with palm of your hand. That's how you take screen shot. Like you scan a page.

Yeah, but if you have folders open where you want to take a screenshot of the content swiping the hand doesn't always work (the physical touch on the screen closes the folder). For this I use the two button method.

The jedi screenshot technique.

Wondering how to take screenshots? :banghead:
If like me you were scratching your head how to take screenshots, and pressing a combination of buttons but nothing happened. Check Settings>motion find and enable the screenshot function.
Hold hand perpendicular/vertical on right side of screen, and drag it to the left. Voila it shows you the screen has been grabbed. Find it in your Gallery app.
Hope this tiny guide helps.:thumbup:

You can also:
*) Press and hold the spen button for 2 seconds with the spen on the screen
*) Press and hold home and power buttons

You may find that the motion technique for taking a screenshot might fail if you are in a full screen app

If the Motion is on at setting, sliding palm of you hand from left to right works for me.

Has anyone figured out how to take a screenshot with the Note 2 yet? I can't seem to figure it out lol

Swipe your palm across the screen

I tried that before I posted here but it wouldn't work. I'm guessing now it's because I still have the screen cover that came with the phone on it. I didn't plan on taking that off until I received my real screen protector. I'll take it off and give it a try though thank you.

Use spen. Press button, keep it holding and put it on the screen. Job done.
Or u can use home + power button to take a screen shot....

Menu Button = Home Button.
To Screen Capture on N7100,
Press Home Button + Power Button at the same time for a moment.
When you see a white flash with a snap sound occur, then you have a screen capture on what you view on the device.
You can view the screen capture picture on Gallery -> Screenshots Folder.
Hope this help. :silly:

You guys!
Go into the options, and then MOTION. There's an option called Palm swipe to capture.
That's the easiest and fastest way to get the WHOLE screen without taking out the SPen. I use the SPen to just capture a piece of the screen by holding down the button and drawing a shape around what I want to capture, connecting both ends (closing the loop) and there you have it!!

[Q] Taking Screen Shots without the S Pen

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

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.
