Never had an issue, just practice getting used to the timing

If you want your screenshot on the desktop (and you use Windows), just try my adbgrab.exe (in the sig).
Code:
C:\>adbgrab.exe shot.png

Here is a great article on it... using the palm swipe looks like it will solve your problem. Check out scroll capture also, that is cool.

Here is a video demo using the Z fold 3... for me I just use the power and volume down button, then have additional options with menu that pops up after you take the screen shot.

Is there a 3-finger swipe for screenshots available in Samsung cause I'm new to this brand?

Oh, you can also:
Code:
C:\>adb shell screencap /sdcard/myshot.png
C:\>adb pull /sdcard/myshot.png

Have you checked the settings to make sure the gesture is turned on?

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?

just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips

From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.

Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!

Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button

[DEV REQUEST] Pause Button
Hi developers ,
I am really thankful for all your contributions that you've made for all of us , I am coming with a new request to see if this is possible ,
I've got mod which helps me to make the Volume rocker button on note to work as previous and next tracks changer when screen is off ,
If this is the case i am looking forward to check with you guys if its possible that when the screen is off can we make the power button for long press as Play Pause ?
This should be possible but power button could actually switch off the phone as well.
this is XXXDDDAAA

Hey, i dont know much about those things, but i dont think menu button would be a good choice since it is a capacitive button... I'd rather use the home button, cause theres no further use on longpressing it on the lockscreen?
peace

[Q] Hiding soft keys quickly

First off, let me say that I love that the G3 comes with a setting to hide the soft keys. The only complaint I have is it takes too long to go away once you bring it up. If you don't know what I mean go into an application bring it up and go home and see how long it stays.
I used an application called UND Navbar and it works great, you can choose to hide the bar as soon as you press a button. The only downside is the fact that you can't use the split screen and other button combinations the g3 has, you're stuck with the traditional soft keys.
Is anyone aware of an app or an Xposed Module that would allow me to have the navigation bar hide once I click one of the buttons?

I have that and I've looked through. I don't see any settings for that.
Could you guide me to what you are talking about, because I can't find it.

Hey dude i was using UND aswell problem is its quite slow, and often it glitches or buttons dont work.
I tried many methods, by far the best one is "Auto hide soft keys" off the market - its VERY snappy and you can adjust the miliseconds for it to minimize OR just get it to minimize once you hit the key.

UND was lightning fast for me but the problem was it doesn't give you the split screen and drop down options that the lg soft keys have. It's the same problem with GMD.

Like what?
Split screen works for me with GMD enabled, but you may mean something else.

How do you get it to work? It disappears from the bar when I turn the app on.

Go to the recents window, select Dual Window - Slide first app UP - slide 2nd app DOWN, use as normal, touch the bottom when you want the nav bar to reappear.
Okay, that makes sense. I feel pretty stupid right now considering I see that option every single time I go to the recents window.

Remap button

Is there a way to replace the home key whit the left touch key button?
Otherwise, do you know any Rom for s4 mini that do that?
I found it much confortable to close open apps/windows
EDIT: Im on CM13 right now.

I mean the left touch button located on the s4 mini phone.
I would like to click it instead of the center button to show open apps and close them. Like new android phones do.

Apparentely it's possible to put the virtual buttons inside the phone screen..but not to change the actual touch buttons.
It's a valid alternative, but not what i'm looking for btw thanks for the support @rookie12 !

Is There A Screen Off and Lock App ?

Is there a simple app/apk that allows for a single screen tap to close and lock the display, instead of waiting for the screen to timeout or requiring the power button to be pressed? I tried a couple apps, from the Play Store, but uninstalled them. My hope is to avoid needing to use the Power button to shutdown the screen before putting the phone into a pocket or case. I am just setting up the phone today.
i did this with Custom Navigation Bar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner

Interesting. will have to give it a try. Thanks.
Try Power Toggles, there is a switch allowing you to lock the screen with one tap. Forgot to check if the result are similar to the one you can get from Nova launcher - with the launcher you can lock the screen using two methods, one locks the phone immediately but prevents you using fingerprint reader to wake up the phone, the other does not have this issue, but actually locks the screen 5 seconds after switching it off. I'll try to check it today and report here.
EDIT: Nope, 5 secs are required.

Q: how to do screenshot on stock Android 11 ?

Hi gang,
With the release of stock Android 11 for our Pixel 2 XL, I don't find a way to do a generic screenshot anymore.
With previous releases, I could long-press the power button and taking a screenshot was one of the options. Not anymore...
The brand new bottom-up drag gesture does bring a screenshot option, but it is for one the open tasks and not the current home screen.
Am I missing something ?
Press and hold Power + Volume Down.

That was it!
The previous method was much simpler, though.

you could also add a screenshot tile. its way better easier and saves wear on the buttons. theres a few on the playstore. this one is great but it requires root.
You can also, "Hit square icon at the bottom, then tap on screenshots" . Make sure you choose which screen you want to screenshot.
