[Q] Record screen - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

how to record screen on the S8, I Googled it but no luck! :/
I downloaded the following apk:
com.sec.app.screenrecorder_2.0.10-201001000_minAPI23.apk
But I cannot install it, package conflict there is an existing package with the same name
Any tips/ideas? Please share if you know how to use it
Thanks!

same here...anyone help?

If you're looking to record gameplay there's a built in recorder for games that will let you record up to 1080p 30fps. If you want an app that lets you record everything az screen recorder works great and records at the screen resolution as well as having many other features. No internal audio though. MIC audio only.

I know about the gaming part but I dont want to record games, I want to record only the screen with audio, it should work with samsung record screen apk but it is not working for me , anybody has it working?
I used to record with a xperia Z2 without issues , this is disappointing

Somebody?

I'm bumping this, as I'm curious too. Why is it those with the S7 can do it via a very straightforward guide, but we can't?

There's also this which records internal audio without root.

well, the s8 has this feature and no need for 3rd-party apps. open the quick buttons list in the notification center, see the capture screen icon? just tap on the text below, and you'll get options, select rec screen, tap DONE, and then tap on the icon, it should start recording. to record audio, tap and hold the icon, and you can get settings to enable that. also if you can't see this quick button, try to tap the 3 dots on the upper-right corner, and edit the buttons order, drag from down to up to add it. hope this helpful for you.

This post is very useful. However I can't find a way to stop the recordings. So I just restart the phone and it crashes. I do know I might not have full functionality since I'm using an S8 port on S6. But how do you stop the recording?
Nevermind. I figured it out by reading the logs. It wasn't recording but crashing because I selected "record audio". Disabling that fixed the issue and now screen recording works.

the phone will show a floating square button on the upper-right screen once you start recording.

i copy and paste the link to address box, it even say 404, oh man... and thanks for your advice, i edited, it should work now.

Verizon s8 doesn't have that.

try to search for 'record screen' in the samsung app store. if you can find this, install it, then you should be able to use this feature, I think.

[Q] Where is the videorecorder app?

Hi,
Before I got the SGS2 I had a desire running htc's sense. Back then I had a camera app and a video recorder app, which was nice since I was able to create two icons on the desktop that would open the camera features in either photo or video mode directly.
There seems to be no such option in the touch wiz interface or is it just me who are blind?
One thing I noticed is however, when I use the widgetlocker lock screen I am able to create two shortcuts on the sliders, one for photo and one for video. This gives me exactly what I want, and the funny thing is, when I look in the task manager showing last used apps there is actually a video recorder application showing up.
So.. do any of you know if theres somekind of trick I can do to create such shortcut on the desktop for the video camera or maybe find the hidden application and create some kind of wrapper of some sort. It seems interesting that the developer of widgetlocker apparently is able to launch it directly...
/m
you use the camera app, you slide the setting from camera mode to camcorder one.
The switch is next to the shutter button.
see the red circled are of the photo.

Did you read the question? What I want is a direct launch, just like on the desire or with the widgetlocker lock screen. Also when done via the widgetlocker lock screen the last used apps list (hold home button) shows that the actual videocamera application is in fact present in the system.

			
				
Jeeez how ****en rude... Did you read the answer.. There is only the switch in the camera app....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Anyway.. Found a solution on the market, don't know how I could miss that earlier.
Camcorder Shortcut
Cheers!
Please be polite people!
Enemies are not here!
OP, you can also just create a shortcut with any shortcut app if you have them installed. I use "dg QuickCut" for my shortcutting needs.
You will need to create a link to the Camcorder "Activity" , and it has the exact same icon you circled, and it brings you to same camera app Samsung customized, with that toggle switched to the Video mode.
There was a problem with above solution. Since it would launch the camera app in somekind of locked video only mode with the photo/video toggle dimmed. This was not the case when launching the camcorder from widgetlock lockscreen. Also it was still a little bit weird that the tasklist would show something that looked like a samsung stock icon but no app was to be found.
I looked a bit more around and found this info at another forum, and it works perfectly! Also when using this method the icon is the same as seen in the tasklist when using widgetlocker method and the photo/video toggle is not dimmed. Super!
Here is how to do it:
1. install launcher pro from market
2. longpress touchwiz home screen, not launcher pro home screen - add activity -> camera -> camcorder
3. uninstall launcher pro (if you don’t wan’t it) and the created shortcut will remain on your touchwiz home screen

You can use Tasker for this.
create a new task, add an action -> media -> photo.
Set a filename, I like to use date and time (I think %DATE%TIME but double check the help to be sure). Check discrete if you want it to be silent. then save.
go back to home screen, add a widget, tasker, and choose the task you just made.

issues briefed with my galaxy s5 brand new device

hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
THIS IS SOLVED, I COULD DISABLE THIS MAGAZINE THING, PLEASE IGNORE THIS NUMBER 3, THERE ARE SETTINGS THAT YOU CAN ENABLE AND DISABLE
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
5- i am planning to keep my s3 as secondary phone, and wanna like only to sync contacts of google account that used in the s5, nothing more, no apps or google play stuff, only for backup call solution if needed, so what is the best practice to achieve this? if i put my gmail account it will download and install all apps which installed on s5, and i don't want that, what is the best practice for this?
6- how to create a folder on the main home screens? i can't find this option yet
thanks for your time guys
#6. Long press an icon you want in a folder. Options appear. While still holding down on the icon move up to where it says make a folder. Then you can name the folder and add more apps to it.

thanks, that works, i could create a folder
number 6 is done, still the first question, specially the selecting from the menu, makes me crazy, i can't select all menues, even when in main apps place, click menu and can't select "create folder" for example, seems the touch is not working as supposed to!!! some menu can't be really selected, is it a touch problem? hardware? my device problem? gets me really crazay, i want to trestict background data but i can't select it!!! same in sms, if select the first sms, it takes me to priority set options, which is above the first sms list... is it the touch callebration? how i can solve this? what about the other questions?
the option for number 3 if anyone else is looking for it, go to your home page, long press the rescent apps button, hit home screen settings, uncheck my magazine
oh, just noticed your other reply to Q no2
exactly dear, i have it on my galaxy s5 starting from Monday!!! is this picture from s5? for me i've selected english as language, and standard gulf time, is there any other settings that i need to change?
guys, nobody is facing this tapping callebration issue in the S5? i affraid my mobile device is the only one doing this, so i have to return it back to vendor,
please advise

It does seem like a hardware problem to me, but I can't say for sure of course.
I never had such problems though.
Mithrandir007,
if you have the s5, can you please go to data usage, and click on that menu button up there, then try to select the strict background data, is that works and selected normally?
problem is i can select everything else on the phone, only this new menu list, in some occasions, i cant select the first or the second option, same for new folder in the apps list, same also in the sms list...
please, anybody can confirm or explain anything related?

Home button long press

If I accidentally long press my home button it opens the Google App. Is there anyway to disable this? I can't find it.
I think if you go into Applications and clear the defaults for the Google App it will stop that. The next time you long press it will ask you what you want it to do as the default. I don't recall what the options are after that.
Thx it was in applications but, the tab default applications. Than "app device support" than you can choose for Google App, svoice, grenify or none. Thx for guiding me to the right direction.

I've tried this but Now on tap is still the default one, I've checked for Now on Tap in settings but can't see anything.
Go to Settings->Applications->Default Applications->Device Assistance App and between "Google Now" and "None", select "None" and you're good to go

Ok I've done that, however now when I press and hold the home button nothing happens....I've also reset the Svoice defaults ?
The strange thing is whilst I'm connected to my Bluetooth car kit if I hold down the talk button it asks what to set as default, once S Voice is set I then try the home button but still nothing ?
Bump
I've managed to get S-Voice back, in case anyone else has the same issue this is what you do....
Enable the Quick Dial option under Galaxy Labs,

If your recents button is broken, how did you get to the recents screen shown in your attachment?
There's an app called HomeBot that will let you customize what a long press home button does, including showing Recents.

My Thoughts EXACTLY Juanito157! I just don't understand why the Hell these companies feel the need to "VIGOROUSLY FIX" SH!TE THAT ISN'T BROKEN!! And 9 times out of 10, they Remove or "Hide" options and widgets that were Just Perfectly Fine where they Freakin were to begin with. I Swear between my PC's, Android Devices, Gaming Systems and others like FireTV Box etc... I Must waste on average, at LEAST a Hour, Almost Every Damn Day, Just WATCHING & WAITING for UPDATES! It's getting really Outa Hand & Insane Lol.... Anyway's, So Sorry for the Rant, a little off topic... BUT YES, PLEASE Let us know if anyone has found a way to Revert or Change back to the way Google was before they HAD TO "FIX" IT ; ¤ }
I loved it because I could long press Home & "Force" Copy /Paste Info from almost anywhere, Even Screen Shot Pics. Now, If this feature is still available and I'm just being a Moron, Which is very possible, can someone Chime in and Help a guy out Please!
*** And I know that there are 3rd Party Apps that will do the "Copy Anywhere" thang... It was just NICE & CONVENIENT having the option built right into Google..
THX & AS ALWAYS, XDA IS THE SH!TE!!

Usually you click it once and it's gone for good.
Some apps still don't display correctly such as Microsoft Remote Desktop when you tap for entire screen.
Pretty annoying really
Add me to the list of people who find this really irritating! I get it on all my (Nova Launcher) home screens, and in a selection of apps (haven't figured out yet why some apps show it and others don't).
Subscribing to the thread in the hope that somebody will figure out a way to make it go away!
This is quite simple actually:
Go to Settings, then display, then full screen and then toggle all apps to full screen and, voila!

But I don't want the apps full screen, and I have actually toggled them all to OFF in that setting.

I am not worried about those... Again some apps do not display correctly in full screen so therefore I don't want to place them in full screen but instead I'm pestered to do it, what was wrong with the bubble notification that came up before?
tap here to fill entire screen
same problem with google phone dialer as it doesnt support full screen...plz help..!how to get rid of tap here to fill entire screen.
For me it just disappears after a minute. For example kodi get stretched if using fullscreen and if I disable fullscreen it disappears.
hope that somebody found the solution
It only appears at new installed apps that are opend for the first time.. after clicking it it never reappears

Yes, this is definitley annoying to be constantly there, and for video apps that aren't optimized for full screen. Like MLB At Bat games are shifted to the left side of the screen with one black bar on the right and it just looks weird. I'd rather have black bars on both sides or at least be able to stretch it out to full screen.

I think the problem is that some apps will not show correctly in full screen mode so anytime I use the app in normal mode there will be a line show " Tap here to fill the entire screen "
Add me also here !!! so annoyed ! !
Add me too
So I am having this issue in Chrome which essentially gives you no back button when browsing. How stupid. So I just figured out that if I scroll to the bottom of a sight, sort of like the opposite of dragging a screen down to refresh, you drag it up from the bottom and you get a black semi circle thing show up. Click on it somehow while it appears and then you get the menu back, but it says double click the dot on the left to make it locked in.
And... it seems to have fixed it across all of my apps, not just Chrome! That's all I have for now.. hope it helps

I will try to find a way to toggle specific apps while remapping the button.
I think that priority is to add the double tap remapping and then I will try flashlight and google camera

I using single tap for music player. Working very well but when u want use double tap u can't coz music player is open immediately and second tap isn't recognised.

The problem is that remapping the single tap functionality results in miui not recognizing the button as "AI" button so it cannot perform the double and long press functions! This means that you have to use some 3rd party app to assign these functionalities
Very nice! Any way to toggle between silent/dnd modes?
nice work
thanks man.
Nice. Also works on my Mi MIX 3. One thing. Im running Pixel Experience GSI, and single tap works, double not (Yes i know its in beta). Also, the the fingerprint scanner thinks its a mouse pad or something. Cus if i tap the scanner it click things on screen.

+1 for Google Camera
Better to assign it for double tap. So we can set main camera on double tap power button and google camera on double tap AI button.
If you use tasker you can assign double tap, trible tap and even more. I wrote down some actions I programmed for my AI button https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78523778&postcount=38
I can share my tasker events if anyone is interested.
@Serbinhio: Does your module work if screen is off?

Thanks for your input. I mainly edit the /sdcard/Downloads/gpio-keys.kl as you describe in your post so I think that the combination of this mod and tasker is the best bet here! I have also posted in the Mi Mix 3 forum but you can include me in your post if you want and you find the mod handy, cause you do not mess up with files and editing (for new users).
For your other question Yes the button works when screen is off. For example, when I set the "Next Media" function, the song changes when I press the button even if the screen is off
Easy solution: Xposed Edge, the must have tool.. Register this hardware key in "Keys" section and easily configure tap, double tap, and long tap.. Nothing special required for this phone (Samsungs often need enablers first, then again you remap it with Edge). Even can mix with XIAOMI settings if you want. And can remap much more (volume keys, headphone insertion event and tons more). No brainer.
I'd wish Xiaomi would give us the option to just completely turn off the button :crying:

Added in latest release Enjoy!
QS Panel drop down doesnt work, only setting i really want, nothing happens when i click AI Button :/
Possible to add an Ring switcher (one press -> vibrate another press -> silent -> another press sound on
Is it possible to add an option to enable/disable waking up screen when click the button? Regardless of any shortcut function..
You can always install app called Swipeup Utility from Google store and change that one tap into any app you want
