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 noticed that when you start a new note, there's about a 3-5 second lag between the time you tap and when the new note opens?
Is there a setting to speed that up?
Thanks
Nope I have not found anything. I also get this lag

Same here...nothing but damn lag.

I only get lag on this phone creating a new note like OP... otherwise this phone is amazing!
Has anyone figured out how to fix this issue??

Edit: I thought perhaps everyone had this issue but I noticed that qbking77 had little to no load time on his s note app on his s pen review video.
Mine takes roughly a second to start writing a new note. The quick note, double tap with the pen button, is instant though.
I did disable Idea Sketch and moved some the templates off the SD card so they don't load.
Strange... When I try to disable my idea Sketch it only allows me to force close, no disable option. And every time I start a new note I need to choose a template so I'm not sure that will do any good.
@Chrissssssss are you running a custom ROM?

Has anyone ran into issue where you make a call screen goes dark like it's supposed to however if you want to end call screen won't come back on until call ends on the other side. So if person doesn't answer I have to wait till voice mail picks up and hangs up on me after it times out.

Is your fone rooted ?

It generally happens when I put it on my ear. Otherwise it is always on.

Phone isn't rooted. I have tried to hit all the buttons including power to turn it back on after it dims out and still nothing. I'm thinking of doing business factory reset but I rather avoid it if I could.

It happens when you place your finger or any part of the body near the sensor.

Got a screen protect covering the proximity sensor? Yours might be too sensitive. I had the same problem with my n4. Solution was no protector or wait till dearth or whatever brand you use to not cover the sensor. That was the first and only phone I ever had that issue though.
Sent from my GT-N7100
Did reset still same issue. I'll try without case, however I have had no issues with case till now.

Also heard of this bug in a German Android forum: there have been some users reporting the same problem without screen protector or case. Still don't know why this happened but You're not the only one with this bug

You can always go into the accessibility settings and set the phone to end a call when you hit the power button

Yesterday I wanted to read a numberplate from a picture to the person I was talking to. Had to text it to him later because the screen wouldn't turn on.

Enter *#0*# in the keypad to open the "test menu".
Press the Sensor tile and test your proximity sensor's function bij moving a finger over it.
If it does not change value from 0 to 1 and make the screen go green, your proximity sensor is likely to be broken.
Replacing the front camera (which houses the proximity senor) will then fix your problem.

I went into store today to speak to a tech that used to work with when I was a sales rep @ sprint. He told he has seen issue a couple of times. He says when that happens its a sensor issue. More common with fones that where 1st shipped out. He could of replaced it if I wanted but he wanted to avoid giving me a refurb. He did a couple of tests and it's been working since. He suggested if it happens again to bring it back again.

Works after a reboot. Seems to be the solution to every problem with that sensor.

I admit this is sometimes frustrating for me too. I'm curious as to a quick fix.
Hi!
My Spen w/o pressing the button, is able to function. But, when I press the button (on the Spen), it doesn't screen capture or trace the screen to lasso an image.
I tried it on another Note 2, my Spen works on theirs.
I tried their Spen on my Note 2, it didn't work.
Anyone notice this?
Thanks, team!

Normally all spen works in any note 2. It seem your phones digitizer having some problem. Check with service center.

Did you try looking at the spen settings? If yes and still no progress. As he said, go to the service center or at least google your problem before going there as a last resort.
Hey guys,
My friend spilled grand marnier on phone and now my power button doesn't work. I'm on a ROM that doesn't have screen wake by volume buttons, but is there a mod to put this in, or an app to use instead? I'm afraid to flash without a working power button and my wife's upgrade is in march so I'll have to tough it out till she gets her new phone and I take my incredible back. Thanks to anyone with any suggestions. I greatly appreciate it.

Something similar happened to me when it rained and the phone got drenched. The safest route is to use a hair dryer near the power button wait for it to dry out from the inside then try again. The contact button in the power strip doesn't work when wet.

Yeah I was going to but grand mariner is really syrupy and I think that's the major problem. This has been a problem for the past couple weeks, and been getting progressively worse. Now it won't work at all. Thanks though for the suggestion.

Try cleaning the contact off with a qtip and some rubbing alcohol

Changing Rom's can also be an option.
But you can also try using many apps to turn screen on or off by touching screen or waving hand over proximity sensor.
Eg.
I use:
PGM aka touch control:
Wake screen up with double tap or swipe up like BB10.
Screen off:
Program pie button to turn off screen.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try both of them.
