Hello fellow moders, I am wondering if anyone knows of a simpler way of taking a screen shot without having to swipe my Palm across the scree.
It would be nice if I could press the home button and power button to screen shot. Maybe screen shot in the power menu.
I appreciate any suggestions.
If you hold the power button and the physical home button at the same time for a couple seconds it will capture a screenshot

Take spend out and hold the spen button while pressing on the screen.
Screen shot mentioned above with home button.
Palm swipe across the screen. Real easy.
My power menu has screen shot option. I'm using hyperdrive.

For some reason, the Palm swipe doesn't work on my phone. It didn't work with 4.3 and isn't working with 4.4 leak either. Any ideas?

Isn't THIS the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section? Anyway, I think I am just doing it wrong or something. I practiced a few more times. I just don't understand how to wipe the edge of my hand across the screen from left to right without it moving the screen. Hmmf!

Hey all multiple times I have wanted to take screen shots and I was wondering does the nexus 4 come with a default screen capture or do I need to download one of the apps to do this. I know some androids are starting to come with this feature default finally such as the S3.
Also can anyone give me a reason as to why screen captures have not been implemented by Google. Legal issues with apple? No reason?
Thanks all
Press power and volume down together.

Yep power and volume down and hold it for a few seconds together then it will take a screen shot

That button combo (pwr + vol-down) doesn't work for me while the desktop is showing, but it works with an app in the foreground. Even works in the INFO screen.
Thanks guy helped me plenty! Just didn't hold down the buttons down long enough
I can take a screenshot anywhere, just have to hold both buttons for a couple seconds. Even works on the lock screen!
Ya u gotta hold it til it takes the shot

no point in installing useless apps that consume memory when its in the OS natively. its not that difficult to press two buttons at the same time and getting it right. once you do it once or twice, you'd get the hang of it and all is good.
either that or flash a custom rom and u can add the screenshot button on your long press power button menu.

It works for everyone. All you have to do is push them at the same time. Power + volume down. Hold for like three seconds. If it doesn't work hold for five seconds.

It's very tricky. I said the same thing when I was doing it on my galaxy Nexus but got the hang of it.
Place your hand on the volume down and power button before pressing them and then hold them both at the same time until your phone makes a screen shot animation.
I will give Samsung this though the slide to screen shot is very intuitive on the touch wiz platform.

Oh so that's why. Since the new diztronics cover the buttons, it's probably not being pressed correctly.

Tell that to the people who had difficulties
It is tricky at the beginning but like I said over again and again, once you know how to do it. It's not tricky and is very easy to do. I understand depending what case they have on it may be trickier because the case covers the buttons that all of us overlooked

Try first powering off your phone. I had a little issue and i could not get the shutting down menu after several attempts, the phone restarted it self and after it was up, I was able to take screenshots without any difficulties.

hold in the power button and the home button. You can also swipe from left to right or right to left with the side of your hand which works.
Thanks for that!

Actually if you just save a quickmemo without scribbling something you get a screenshot.
Above poster is right... Its power + vol down and very awkward.

ah duh! good tip!!
right, taught of that.
But i've needed to take screenshot of the notifications and pressing the quickmemo/home slide exit the notification
bummer
I took a screenshot using Quick Memo and it DID include the notification bar. Did I understand the issue correctly?
I used the Home-button-drag (to the right).
Hey everyone. Just wanted to know if you all are experiencing a lag when using the power button to turn OFF the screen. At times it will be instant and at others it will do a 2 phase dimming before powering off. Also at other times it will take a couple seconds before responding to the push of the button. Let me know if you all are having the same issue. I had the note 2 and I don't remember if it had the same problem.
Also I can post a video when I can if ya all need a visual.
Thanks in advance.

Turning off the option for using the power button for s-voice (s-voice options) reduces the lag

I got annoyed by the Home button so I installed Button Savior on my Note 2. I'll do that on my Note 3 for sure. I just hate mechanical Home button. I wish Button Savior lets me configure long pressing Home to be launching Google Now
How? Can you guide me to make it off.

Screens only on german, hope it helps.
Start s-voice, after that, enter settings (menu button). Disable option (should be "open with home button" or sth. like this (I'm using a german device)
Hope, this helps
cheers

Do you guys think this is just the effect of too harsh a transition to screen off max frequencies?

note 3 lag
I messed around with the settings and it's not like a huge difference but try turning off the water ink effect for the lock screen to open the device and put none and I notice a .5 or sec difference, it's sad if it turns out because of that:crying:
Omg I found out why there is lag on the power button when putting the phone to sleep and waking it up. Turns out that a lot of apps or system processes, well it uses a lot of ram I used a app called clean master it's free and it frees up ram. When I free the ram the power button seem more responsive. So try it out. Kind of disappointing for an amazing phone even with 3gb ram can still be effected like this

I got the same problem. Bought mine from a Fortress in Hong Kong unlocked. 4G LTE model.
Also noticed that not only is there a lag before the power off button kicks in but a lag for the thing yo actually shut down. Takes a while to shut down.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with power saving frequencies set in the kernel. I have experience this with previous devices when tweaking kernel for power saving. If the low side for idle is really low you'll get the lag. Don't quote me on this but I'm almost certain.

It completely removes it for me. Its pretty much instant.
I agree. I went into svoice and unchecked open via the home key and also wake up command and the lag waking up mostly gone. I still get some with multiple apps running in the background though, not too concerned either way.

If you uncheck open via the home button you will no longer be able to open it back up by double clicking on the home button. Say you unchecked it and then you wish to go back and check it again you will no longer be able to go back as double clicking on home button no longerbrings back this option to check or uncheck again
Anyone know how to bring this option back?
But see this thread is about the power but to make it sleep and wake up, not the home button to go back to the main page.
