I just figured out how to screen capture from landscape view by holding back and pressing home on the keyboad. But how do you do it from portrait view?

I think you do it the same way with the capacitive buttons but everytime I try it is says the screen capture service force closed.

The capacitive buttons only activate on release, so there's no way to hold one down...
Wow! I didn't know the Epic had any built-in way of screen capture! Learned something today!
I use Drocap2 for all my screenshot taking, but I hear ShootMe works also.

You can hold the back button and close the screen holding the smallest amount of the hardware back button... (screen will go portrait with the screen closed this much) now click the capactive home button and you'll have a portrait shot.
Kinda dumb- but works.

Doesnt work on mine.

How then the capacitive home button gives us recent apps viewed by holding it down for a few seconds?
That is a good question. I didn't invent the principle I stated, I merely repeated it. Try the screenshot combo with the front buttons, it won't work...

Hi all,
is there a way to wake up the screen by double tapping the home button instead of pushing the on/off button?
many thanks
I dont think it is possible. That is like to tell a person to wake up in his dream.

Use widgetlocker and you can switch on with any button.

thanks a lot for your suggestion. I installed widgetlocker, but in no way I can wake up the display.
I can wak up the display by pressing the volume button or the on/off and the camera button, but in no way with the home button.
Do you can?
Curious as to whether anyone has attempted to remap one of the 4 buttons on the Shift as an alternate to the power button on the top of the phone.
Personally I can live w/o the "search" button, and if it's remapped to act as a second power on/on toggle, that'd.....be.....awesome.
I think the power button has to be a physical non-capacitive button. The 4 bottom buttons are just part of the screen and so will not respond to a touch if the screen is off.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. You're right.
Thanks!
Now if someone could get it to turn on after you did a double tap on the volume up button or something. That would be bad-ass.

This is a GREAT idea.
I'd like it if while in the camera app the volume keys worked as camera buttons.

Yes it is
Go do a search on the forum for buttonremapper (or the market if you'd like to help and donate)
requires root
I am using my volume rockers as camera
This is the button remapper app thats been mentioned in other threads
I haven't tried it out yet though.

I know what you mean, like some sort of 'profile' based key mappings.

Downloaded and re-mapped the Volume Down button to work as an alternate Power button (since i just use toggle widgets and settings for volume anyway), and remapped Power button to open Camera. Great app!
Hey guys,
i was wondering if there is any app for our device that enables us to take an INSTANT screenshot, just by pressing several hardware key combos? just like on the iphone, where we can just press the power and the home key. it would almost certainly come in handy

Kind of annoying this delay once you hit the home button. I hope someone figures out a way to get rid of it. Looks like it was an isue with the Int GSII also.

did you turn off the s-voice setting where double pressing home opens it? when you press home once there is a slight delay waiting to see if you'll press it again, turn that off and your golden
I don't notice a delay on mine... Maybe a 10th of a second delay? Not much. You could try turning off screen animations in the settings to make it faster too.
