Problem with S-pen "write on screen" - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
One of the features I mostly use on the Note 4 is the "write on screen". As it's known, when you select this option, the phone takes a screenshot so we can edit it. Well, the issue I am facing is that most of the times the screenshot is taken before the 4 option selector dissapear, and it's then part of the jpeg generated, making it unuseful. I attach an example so you can see what I mean.
I would like to know if anyone is having this problem ab if there is something I can do to solve it.
Thanks

Doesnt happen on my note

also it does not happen on my phone
when option write on screen is selected first the option circle disapere and then phone make screenshot.

Saving a picture of the TV screen takes an eternity!?

Hey guys,
today i took a picture of my LCD-TV screen to show a scene out of a PS3 game to a friend. It took about 2 Minutes to save this picture and even then only half of it was saved? The upper half was normal but the lower half was grey. When i take a "normal" picture saving only takes 1 second...
I made pictures of the TV screen before with my old W960i and there has never been a problem.
Any ideas or could someone try this with his X1 and get back to me?
soft reset, try aggain?
Doesn´t change anything...
then u should try a hard reset. eitehr your software is totaly borked or u might have an issue with your hardware.
honestly ... it sounds more like a hardware issue but try the hard reset first. dont forget to abckup your data
But why does it work with "normal" pictures then? Have you tried it with your phone?
The image will be a too large file due to the lines in your TV. Try dropping the pixels count to 1 or 2mb.
Yes I already thought of that. It works perfectly when I am not too close to the screen. When I´m too close a lot of coloured stripes appear when the auto focus is working and you can see the pixels of the TV.
Even so, my W960i never had a problem with that. I will try dropping the pixels count when I´m at home.
But still...would be interessting if someone of you could try it!

good question!
try deactivating the "verify picture" inside the camera settings.
the Picture should be allready taken after the shutter sound and should just be written to the memory. so its maybe the "verify" function which borks it up and tries to repair it!?
up/downscaling teh qulity (fine, normal economy) could also help if its a problem with teh JPG compressor!?
just made screens of my LCD Monitor. no problems, even autofocus worx great and a distance of 5 cm
did screens of my Plasma at home a few days ago and here was also no problem.
Ok, I will try it! Thanks guys for your help!
Isnt the job of "verify picture" not just to show you the picture you just have taken?
actualy no idea
i just know that some digicam Firmwares have exactly this feature build in. Check if the taken image isnt corrupted and/or fix some colors
just checked it ... it realy only shows u the picture X-D
hey i just tried it (takin a pic of my laptop screen close up with marco mode on) and the pic took about a minute to save and when i checked it, only the top of the screen was saved and the rest of the image was greyed out....and i'm on the touch-it experience v3 rom
So, just disabled the "verify picture" option and it works perfect!

You mean automatic preview of the pic after taking the a shot??
can u please tell me where can i find that option?
where is this verify picture option?
Turn on the camera and press the "wrench" button down right, then press the "arrow down" button down right. Now you have a menu on the left side, select the "Picture&Video" button up left. It´s the third entry in the list.
It is not the same as the "automatic preview" mode!

Problem with file selections

I just purchased this HTC 8525 from a man on ebay. He has it upgraded to 6.0. Everything looks great except for a problem I am having. I will give an example: I was trying to put pictures on my contacts. When I click tap here to insert pic it brings up a grid with pics. When the grid shows up the first pic is highlighted like always. Now when I choose another pic they are both highlighted and I can choose neither of them. It is like I was holding the shift key on my pc and choosing a few files at a time. It does the same thing in my list of texts. If I get 2 texts and I can't choose one below the highlighted first one because they will both be highlighted and it won't open. Now it does not do it all the time, maybe 98% of the time. I hate it!
I have hard reset this twice and it hasn't helped.
I hope someone has an easy fix to this!

Does it do that if you move down a list of files by using the scroll wheel or the d/pad down arrow? AND, if not can you then select the file by pushing in the scroll wheel or the central button on the d/pad?

S5 Gallery Pan and Zoom button above image

Hi. Could someone please help me with the following that is driving me nuts. I have an international S5 version. If I use the stock Gallery app, If I crop an image and the image is too narrow, the app automatically displays a button floating above the image. If you press the button the image will automatically zoom and pan from top to bottom. This floating button (looks like three squares) will not appear for images that are not narrow. I spent hours Googling about this, but I couldn't find a single website that at least acknowledges that this option exists. What I would like to know if there is a way of disabling this, since the floating button sometimes goes above important details on the image and I don't intent to use this feature. Thanks in advanced to anyone that knows about this feature.

Not able to take scroll-down screenshot [anymore]

Hi.
Sooo I think the title says it all. When I take screenshots (wheter by hardware keys or palm swiping) the shot just flashes away and I no longer see those options I used to see after taking screenshots (like that scroll-capture thing or the share button). I remember using them before but they have just dissappeared. I tried restarting my phone and no it doesn't work!
Anybody else have this issue?
Guys? Anyhing?!
Make sure Smart Capture is turned on under advanced features.
