Can someone tell me how to do a screenshot. I know I can swipe my hand across and do one but when I press home button and power button nothijg happens. Thanks
You can take a screenshot by pressing home and power button at once.... you might have done something wrong. Try doing it again.

I had the same issue and finally realized I was not holding the buttons down long enough. Hold until you see the screenshot notification top left.
Thanks guys. I wasnt holding the buttons long enough.
Is there anyway to remap the Home button? What I am looking for Double tapping = Recent Apps. Long Press = S Voice or Google Now.

If you search... I bet an app on the Play Store can do this.

I use Home2 from the play store. Remapped dragon in for S-voice, because the voice recognition actually works. Not sure about the recent apps but I'd recommend it to anyone trying to remap on a TW rom.

You can change manually if you want. Give me a minute while I locate the file.

Thanks for the reply. I think I found the file but it does not do anything once changed. I think it may be something else I am missing. Here are the file I edited.

What he said. It's infinitely easier than having to mess with modifying files and it also lets you map home+back and home+menu if you want.
Oh, and you can also change the double-click delay, so that if you just want to go home, it's slightly faster.

That will select text. He is asking about selecting several pieces of text. Like the words "select text" plus "selecting several pieces" in my last sentence, like with ctrl/mouse on a PC.
Have you tried just marking one part of the text, and just ignore the popup for copy/cut/dictionary and try marking more text? Hard to remember how I did it, but I think that was how.

It is possible to select multiple pieces of text. Just press the button and select text, then release the button. Then, press the button to select another piece of text.
Aye that's what I thought.
Ok, I just tried to do that with forum posts, and can't do it. Do you need to use smart select first?
Thank's guys,i think it's impossible to do ,the only way is smart select and saving for more times.
Nope. Worked for me. Unless my memory is distorted.

What exactly is the process then? You can try it on longer above posts.
Press and hold button, select text, relase button, press and hold button, select text, release button?
Doesn't work for me, when I press button to select next section of text the previous selected text looses it's selection highlight.

I'll try it when I get my device back.
When I do that exactlyn the previous,selection vanishes aand a new one starts. It doesn't add to the initial selection.

What does work, is highlight text and copy it. Highlight the additional text, and copy that.
When you long press paste, you can paste or select clipboard. Select clipboard, and you'll see two entries for the two selections you made. Tap each, and it'll paste them both. I'm not sure though how many you can clip, or how to manage the clipboard.

When i try to past ,i have only "past" option how you can see the clipboard option?
for example,i copy two times the text from some page in firefox and try to past it in a word document,when i try to past,i see only the past option.
Edit:i have this problem only in office suite 8 ,the clipboard optione of samsung keyboard does not work in Office Suite 8,damn.
i'll tell you what is wrong.
hold the S pen button and select, and then select somewhere else. doesn't matter you release between each select or not, but you should hold it when you're selecting.
**** the problem is that this function only works in original Samsung apps, like the browser (internet)
It worked for me perfectly! press and hold the spen then select text. once text selected release the button and press and hold again then select txt.
BOOM!

Not sure if I'm being dumb, but if I tap the home key, it takes me home. Whats the use case for hard pressing the home key (which activates the vibrantion)?

If I am following you can either double tap the home button to go to home or hard press "one" time to do the same thing. I don't know the science behind it but I have found I do both at different times
Hard pressing it switches the screen on from when the screen is off or you can double tap it.

Don't need to double tap, a single tap take me to my home screen...
Just saying either way works when screens off..

If i just tap the home button when the screen is off it does nothing for me unless I press down on it

When you are in the fullscreen app that doesn't show the bottom bar you can just press the screen place where the button is harder and not swipe up/down/left/right and then tap the home button.
Is there any way to take pictures by pressing a button (normally volume buttons)?
Researched a bit but couldnt find something.
I know that you can open the camera up by pressing the volume button, but it seems there is no possibilty to take a picture by pressing a button (normaly one of the volume buttons). Camera settings dont show anything regarding to this.
Additionally to the icon on the screen there's gestures and voice activation, but I would really miss a hardware button for that as it makes taking pictures with only one hand so much easier...

That's not what the user is asking. He/she wants to be able to press a button to take a picture instead of using the icon in the camera app.

You can do it by pressing the volume up button while in the camera app.
