First, a bit of background. I have a disability that limits my hand movements.
I had absolutely no trouble in swiping the screen on my S III to take a screenshot. I now have a S4. After several hours of tweaking the gesture settings I still can't take a screenshot by swiping. Also, due to the limited movement in my hands I can't use the shortcut (Home + Volume buttons).
Thus, if an app doesn't exist to take a screenshot on the S4, I would gladly pay a developer to pay for a workaround.
Ideas? Thanks.

Screenshot ux and screenshot ultimate are both good apps for a substitute. Some aosp/aokp ROMs allow a screenshot to be taken by holding down just the power button and clicking screenshot. Not sure about exposed framework for TW but there may be some screenshot customisations in it.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out.

Screenshot UX will not run on a phone that is not rooted. In addition, it only works after one uses the phone's screenshot method to crop, etc. Ultimate is similar but does supposedly has an out for non - rooted phones. You have to install a utility on your PC first. Haven't tried it yet.

Unfortunately, Ultimate is out for the following reason:
" When you completed the steps below screenshot capability will be enabled on your device. However, Android will automatically disable it after every reboot / reset, so you will need to enable the screenshot capability after every reboot. We cannot prevent the disabling of the functionality after every reboot / reset, it is how Android is designed, apologies for that. Your device will NOT be rooted by using this, after a simple reboot everything will be the same as before again."

I've looked at every screenshot app available for non-rooted phones & all have the same constraints that Screenshot Ultimate does. However, it's not the app's fault...it's a Samsung OS issue.

This device is blazing fast most of the time, but it will inexplicably lock up, completely, for a few minutes at a time for seemingly no reason. Right now it's frozen on a youtube video and I can't turn it off or use the screen. The device is also unusable really when installing apps, and will lag heavily in Google Now sometimes.
Is this just me? Or 4.2.1?
Just you. My N7 is still operating at warp speed and doesn't lock up..

Are you stock? If so I heard people saying turning off the sync for currents will help, for Google now lag I feel its performs better if you turn off the hot word in setting. But with that you can't say Google and start voice search
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I'm stock 4.2.1 and don't have those issues. I do have currents (and various other apps) disabled, so like previous response said try that. Otherwise maybe go with a factory reset.
When my gnex updated to 4.2 it's performance suffered until I factory reset, now it's been much better.

My best guess would be you have installed an app that is not compatible with 4.2.
How about posting a list of what you have installed, if you use multi-user, and if you are stock (not rooted), and we can give comments.
I agree. I'm running PA and rock solid. I was also rock solid on stock.
I've never had it lock up. I flashed a Trinity kernel once that caused sleep of death... but it was a known issue.

I have a pretty decent amount of apps installed. I'll post them in a minute, but no, I'm not multi-user, and I'm stock. I'll root and put a new rom on this thing if it's worth it, I figured it'd be fine the way it came.
btw, here are my androbench results. Are these slow?

thanks, I'll try disabling those.
Over 100 apps in total, my andronbench write speed is clearly an error so just compare read and app open macros.
My apps open much faster than yours, which I'd put down to PA ROM and kernel. Maybe your write speed is a bit slow?
Can you download "forever gone" from market and try a full fill and delete? Apparently helps reset the memory controller to improve performance.

Long story short, my gps just kept coming on by itself even after turning it off multiple times. Even after rooting, installing twrp and flashing Clean Rom 1.1 (THANKS SCOTT) it was still there. Looks like it was the carrier IQ causing the issue. I've done these three steps and haven't seen it since. Step 1: Settings>Location access> check 'Wi-Fi & Mobile network location' then uncheck 'GPS Satellite'. Step 2: On your device go to Settings>apps>runnings>Android System> IQServices> Stop. Step 3: Download 'Disable Services' app, open the app and go to android system the uncheck IQServices. That should solve the problem, also I use Wakelock and Greenify. Wakelock allows me to see what apps run while my phone is suppose to be idle and Greenify lets me put apps in hibernation so they wont do anything or process anything unless I actually open the app. I have an ATT G2 by the way..
Do you have any issues with knock on with greenify?

Nope works perfectly fine for me.

There was someone talking about how greenify broke knock on, but it ended up he just had a craptastic screen protector out on it. After he took it off it was fine.

I've had my note 3 for a few weeks now and having come from an s1, s2, s3 and s4 I'm finding I get fc's and freezes in pretty basic android features.
1. My settings > volume controls froze yesterday
2. the flip board widget wouldn't open the flip board page then hung the phone this morning.
3. just now ending a call froze instead of hanging up, then gave an error procees com.android.phone (or similar) is not responding.
Is this knox messing with stuff or just a buggy stock rom (mj7)?
Obviously a factory reset is the next step but I'm interested to know if anyone else finding their's is doing weird stuff that never happened on previous devices?
Thanks

I have not had such a bad problem like that with my device, A few crashes here and there (1 a week) but that's to be expected from android..I can from an S2.
Hi,
I've had my N3 since release and no issues even following a few updates. However following a patch I believe it's always good to perform a full wipe and restore, and I think patch 3 or 6 was big! I had no issues with my S2 yet my Father took it on but had to factory wipe even though I'd done the same before handing it over (now works fine).
Hope this helps.
Jonty.

OK thanks, so maybe needs a reset. Never had issues like this after updates on other devices before. Hope its not going to be on a regular basis.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hopefully just a one-off. I've never had to factory reset yet after an update but the awareness is always there just in case.
Keep us posted?

Did you install Wanam Xposed framework and use Center Clock at Status Bar? If yes, return back to original right side will solved the problem.
The center clock no longer work properly since MJ6, most obvious is FC your phone after end call.
No its stock and unrooted. My a alarm clock crashed last night and just now I had to reboot to get my phone signal to be seen. Will do a factory reset tonight. I'm hoping that due to no one else commenting with issues, that will fix it.

Lagging ...., battery problems.....
Two words for u.....
HARD RESET !!
It's really worth the effort for reinstalling ur apps again
And one more thing....just install the apps that u use and u will really feel the difference
I think I may do this with the next big update coming soon. I was going to do it right after the last update but kicked the can down the road and decided to do it the next time. I think some people do it after every update though.
Easier just to root and remove all the bloatware...Mine has no lag and is crazy fast.

might be a stupid question, but what is a hard reset ? Ie how to?
With Samsung products I tend to do this after every update, it takes time but I find things run better.

Its factory settings......it removes every thing on the device like it was out of the box
- Turn Off your Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 device.
- Wait for 10 seconds, Then move to the next step.
- Press and hold Volume Up key + Power key.
- Keep pressing the above keys until the Samsung Logo appears,Then release Power key only.
- When you see Factory reset / System Recovery menu on screen release the Volume Up Key.
- Use Volume Down key to select Wipe Data / Factory Reset option.
- Use Power key to confirm the operation.
- You need to use the Volume Down key again to select "Yes -- delete all user data"
- Use Power key to confirm.
- After performing the hard reset, Select Reboot System Now option, And confirm it using Power key.
- Now the phone will reboots, Wait for it to be fully on and then you can start using it.
Does this long process equal using the reset option in menu? Reason I ask is I've used that feature before with this.

Hi Guys,
After updating my wife's note 4 to lollipop. I noticed in settings - power saving - where you get the battery usage stats. I dont get to see the screen on time. That option has completely disappeared. By the way this is stock samsung lollipop. My note 4 has screen on time option. But not hers. I hope you guys could shed some insight on this predicament of mine.
Please refer to attachment.
Thanks in advance
Scroll down, if you see the screen option, tap that and it'll show you SOT.

I did. I have been using Samsung devices for the past 5 years and I am well versed with it. Have flashed rooted installed custom ROMS etc. But like I said above we both have Note 4's and I have the option right at the top. But my wife's phone doesn't have it in the entire list. This is after using the phone to about 70%. Therefore it should ideally account for the balance 30% and show the screen on time. I am really bummed by this.
Sometimes it doesn't show for a while in my list.
