The shortcut for taking a screenshot on SGS Plus is the combination of Back + Menu, and that has caused a lot of unintentional screenshots from time to time.is there a way to disable the shortcut?Thanks in advance!
yes...delete the screen capture service .apk from /system/app
Hmmm, screen capture on MY SGS+ is [back]+[home] and never caused unintentional screenshots...
yes,i misstated it.it's Home +Back.anyway,i've solved my problem by following sakindia123'advice.thanks

After a soft reset my screen alignment is gone and it takes some time and work to get to screen in the settings window (because the alignment is lost)to solve the prolem Has anyone have the same problem and hopefully a solution?
What device are you using?
I've never encountered this problem, but you can navigate with the dpad, or alternatively make a shortcut to the screen control panel and launch that on every reset (put it in your startup folder).
Bad solution to a strange problem though!

screen alignment
Thx, the shortcut is not a solution since I cannot click where I want. Dpad is the solution that I use, but it is very ennoying.I am using a QTEK2020
I meant make a direct shortcut to the particular control panel screen. Then one click with dpad will take you straight into screen alignment settings.
But whichever works!

screen
THX, but I don't find a way to make a shortcut to screen or screen alignment in the settings screen.
I'm afriad I don't have my phone in front of me, I left it at home by accident :shock:, but look here:

I'll try to make the shortcut if you have no luck.

I was wondering if there is a better screen capture for android. I know about drocap2 and screen grabber, but they both share a common flaw. In order to capture a shot I must exit what I'm viewing, activate the app , then go back to where I was before, and then vigorously shake to trigger. I don't want to do that, nor do I want that ugly camera in my notification tray all the time and do a pull down trigger effect. Anyways im just looking for an app that can be set with long press or whatever set of hardware button combination. Thanks
So this is a strange sort of behavior which isn't exactly crippling, but is rather annoying.
I'm using a deodexed, de-bloated version of EH09, although this happened on earlier ROMs I used so I wouldn't attribute it specifically to the ROM. To the best of my knowledge, I'm using the latest beta version of Swype.
Sometimes, after writing a text message or news post or something of the like, when I hit the power button afterwards to turn off the screen, it will instead trigger a screen capture and save it to the SD card. This behavior stops once I hit the back softkey a few times, but today (and for the first time so far) the softkeys were nonresponsive. Because it happens after writing something of reasonable length, I'm suspecting that some combination of keypresses are responsible for launching the screen capture service.
I don't have any screen capture apps installed, so it must be something integrated into the ROM. Anyone else experience similar behavior, or have any thoughts?
Known problem with our phones; the back and menu buttons sometimes press themselves in low signal areas or during data usage. Reason is not known.
Right, I've noticed that behavior as well. But what does that have to do with the screen capture service?

It's built into touchwiz that if you hold menu and hit the power button it takes a screenshot, if I recall correctly. So if the button glitch is happening and causing the menu button to be pressed, and you press the power button, it takes a screenshot.
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
Oh, I see. Well, I believe the ROM I'm using has Touchwiz stripped out, though I'll admit to being a bit unclear as to how much of the underpinnings consist of TW stuff. But I just tried the menu-long-press shortcut, and it didn't initiate the screen capture service.
Thanks, though.
I wanted to assign the camera shutter button to wake up the phone. I've used other lockscreen apps like Go Locker, Live Screen, and Magic Locker and they all allow the volume rocker to wake the screen, but not the camera button. I then tried the app "buttonremapper" or something like that that I found on xda. It didn't work.
I found this folder:
/system/usr/keylayout/
with the files:
AVRCP.kl
cpcap-key.kl
edison-keypad.kl
evfwd.kl
omap-keypad.kl
qwerty.kl
usb_keyboard_102_en_us.kl
Everywhere I saw:
212 Camera
(all but the first two files)
I changed it to:
212 Camera WAKE_DROPPED
(and added this to cpcap-key.kl)
It worked...but not always. Every now and then, it would not wake up with the camera button (especially if I hadn't had the screen on in a while). Any ideas? Is this a foolish endeavor?
Also, the Search button sometimes does not bring up the search function (long-pressing doesn't bring the voice search) right after unlocking the screen. The haptic still works, but the search doesn't pop up. The ability returns if I press the home button first. The same goes for the camera hardware button not opening the camera app but working after I press home first. This was happening even before my modifications and only intermittently.
My mod is not at all important, but I'm curious why it doesn't work all the time. I'm not sure if it's related to my buttons not working regularly, but I suspect it does.
I am using Go Launcher and tried a variety of lockscreen apps. I just did a factory reset last night to see if it fixed it, but it didn't. I reloaded a minimal amount of apps. I am using the stock camera at this point (I didn't reload camera zoom fx--but it had the same issue before the factory reset anyway). Could this be related to an app or is there something deeper at fault? I doubt it's a hardware defect since it is corrected by touching the home button.
If you think you have an idea but need more info, let me know. I appreciate any suggestions!
What just happened? Well it seems Sony (or Google) have managed to make taking a screenshot a lottery when pressing and holding the power button.
Before you would get a nice little screenshot button beside the power button while still being able to view what's on the screen.
Now screen goes black (seriously?) and a screenshot button appears at the top of the phone. Good luck taking a screenshot of a video or something similar, it's pure lottery.
Also before you got a sub menu after the screenshot was taken for a quick delete, edit etc and now Sony have managed to cover up the delete option with a mini picture of what's just been screenshot.
Pretty poor Sony, massive stuff up!
Or is it just me?
Well that's 2 posts I've seen to put me off 11 already . This does sound pretty poor. I use the power button screenshot feature a lot.
Does the Google assistant screenshot option work any better? Have to hold the home soft button and choose Share Screenshot for that one. For some reason pressing the dedicated assistant button doesn't show it!
You have option to go to All Apps View(Running apps pressing square from 3 button navigation) and from there you can take screenshot of that particular app.
It seems it's more and Android 11 issue (they call it a feature) which, for me, is worse than 10.
Yes you can now take a screenshot using the square apps button but that also freezes the screen as soon as you press it making video screenshots hopeless still.
I now have to use AZ screen recorder.
God I hate it when a company "improves" a feature like this.
Good to know about the new screenshot feature using the running apps menu. I guess for taking screenshots of videos then the 3rd party app option is going to be the only choice. Unless they fix the screenshot issue in a future update .
So I got the Android 11 update today and decided to check out the screenshot problem. I now see what happens with the black screen when playing video.
That said, the screenshot does actually still capture the video, as you can see from the photo I uploaded.
I guess it would be nice if the video didn't disappear when doing this but the functionality of taking a shot from the video is there. Not sure if that helps anything?
The little pic does seem to be hiding the old delete option you are right. Unless the delete option has just been removed entirely?
