Method 1:
1. Place the palm of your hand on the screen of S4. Make sure the phone is unlocked, because it won’t work on the locked screen.
2. Swipe your hand across the screen in either direction, left or right. You should hear a camera shutter sound along with a notification appearing on screen saying “copied to clipboard”. You can find the screenshot in your photo Gallery.
(make sure the “Palm motion” option is turned on. To on/off this option, go to Settings -> Motions and gestures -> Palm motion)
Method 2:
simply press lock key and home button at the same time. Hold both the buttons at same time till you hear the camera shutter sound.

Touch the screen when swiping your hand

enable palm swipe and swipe across the screen with your hands in contact with screen
Palm swipe works, it's just not as sensitive as it was compared to the S3/Note 2. You need to apply a bit more pressure.

Nothing has change as far as i know , it still should work as explained above......
power + home button should work unless you have issues with your buttons and palm swipe to capture should work as long as you enable it at motions and gestures.......
how did you flash rom? , clear dalvick and cache , clear cache for touchwiz home from the application manager and see if it helps...if not reflash rom again
BACKUP FIRST!!
Actually i tried all of it.
But none of it worked.
How has this got to two pages?
Its volume down and power at the same time, home button is not required...never has been on s4

Maybe double press? Home2 Shortcut
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eikatou0.appspot.home2shortcut
I prefer double tap is just treated as two separate taps and leaves me in my home screen.
Long press the home button to launch voice search is ideal because I can initiate the press in my pocket as I pull out the phone.
This is one of the main reasons I've run cyanogenmod in the past. But if there is another way to get this functionality somehow through root access that would be ideal in the meantime.

You must turn off S-Voice. By default home double click is reserved for Samsung S-Voice.

Launch S-Voice then press menu/settings scroll down and uncheck S-Voice. Works for me.

thank you SO MUCH ! , i was missing this so badly !
just realized i can't take screenshots using the usual [home button] + [power button] combo (as in, nothing happens). i killed a couple of processes using package disabler pro, but not faceProvider (which i dont even see)
anyone else having this problem, any settings i need to change? just noticed some apps don't like screenshots being taken (e.g. standard chartered's banking app, which makes it difficult to send screenshots to show payment confirmation)
The only way that I could figure out was to use the "palm swipe" across the screen. Go to Settings>Device>Advanced Features>Palm swipe to capture set to "on"
Nothing else worked for me either.

You have to hold down the Home/center button and the power button for 3 seconds.. let me know if it works for you too
banking and protected apps no, you need to have root and xposed frame work and then down load a certain module to disable secure flag for screen shots system wide, then you can screenshot anything.
Palm swiping is much easier and built in.
Works for me, although I prefer the palm swipe to take a screen shot.
You have to hold them both down.
Press and hold them at the same time. If you press and hold one before the other, it might not work.
Palm swipe doesn't seem to work with nova launcher? Anyone else having that problem? Power and home button works though.
I'm also having a similar issue although in my case, when I hold down the buttons simultaneously...it launches "Ok Google" instead of taking a screenshot.
The palm swiping gesture works very inconsistently atm.
Maybe worth noting: I'm using the Samsung Good Lock app.
You ve to hold them on the same time for 2 seconds

My phone has flashed with International Stock Rom no mod.
Palm swipe so hard to use, it doesn't always work.
The Palm Swipe option get turns off couples time, no idea why.
When I turn it on first palm swipe works great, but after that no matter how I try it wouldn't do it.

I think this might be why my Palm Swipe would disable it self.
When I enable it, it would work for 1-2 times.
then how ever I try wouldn't do a screenshot.

With palm swipe set to "on", It is working with nova launcher/Android 8.0 XSG region. Under nova launcher settings you have the options for swipe down or swipe up, maybe conflicting with the palm swipe capture. Try updating your Nova Launcher to the latest version to cope up with the latest OS. This may help.

Why double tap or any number of taps??
If you tap on your screens, you may have a chance of mistakenly opening an app!
This following solution is more practical:
"Swipe home button" in Play store. An easy and practical way to get to home screen, works well.

How's battery usage? Is it significant?
Also, I'm using the version you posted but it's not working when the screen is off. I'm sure I deactivated all app-killing process. I don't think it's this.

Hello!
I'm using the P10 Plus and I'm not able to find the setting for Touch-disable mode anymore. (I'm pretty sure it was there on previous android version)
This "Touch-disable mode" setting seems to be always on, after Oreo update.
It could be cool for everyday use, but it's a BIG problem when I like to put the phone into a plastic case/bike phone holder.
I get the message "do not cover the top of the screen..." and I'm not able to unlock the smartphone from the case.
That's soooooo annoying!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue??
Thank you very much!
Am I the only one with this problem?
When you lock your phone you try to cover the top part tgen you'll see on display says disable it pressing power and volume up I think.

Tnx, I know, but when the device is in a motorbike holder ( like my Givi S957B ) it's quite impossible to press power and volume up...

For me it's a big issue!

No, same problem comes with the Huawei P20 Pro. Touch-disable mode is enabled, but there is no option to disable it. :crying:
Came on here as had the same problem. I found that if you tap volume up and power button 3 times it disables or enables it. It doesn't work anyway, if you accidentally press the fingerprint scanner in your pocket, it unlocks the phone and you end up changing all your settings and calling a porn line all from your pocket.

The above worked for me about 3 weeks ago on my P20 Pro.
I had an update to the phones os last week, now it's reverted back to not liking the sensor being covered when I have the phone in my running armband.
The "Touch Disable Mode" option has disappeared from the System Table section of Settings Database Editor. Most annoying!
Hey
So I installed the Setting Database Editor app to change the setting and then uninstalled it to see if the change would persist without the app - it did not, so I went and reinstalled the app but also found that the "touch_disable_mode" setting was missing so I added it manaually and its working ...no more annoying message about nonsense.
