Anyone know if there is a shortcut to taking screenshots?
Without having to root and use drocap or shootme. (that's assuming they even work when rooted, which there's been one or two saying it doesn't.)
i'm rooted and neither dropcap or shootme work on my xoom.
Only one way to take screencaps...SDK, works both rooted and non but obviously takes a little knowledge/reading up on. But its not as hard as duplicating Grandma's gravy and biscuits so don't fear too much.

Kinda sad it requires root or being plugged into a PC to take screen caps. Might be the wrong place to bring it up but I don't think I'm the only one thats kinda irked about this.

I know I payed 800 dollars for my Xoom. **** should be better. Media player, well Gallery in general, and this, and more. But I think I'm going to give google till after their first Honeycomb update.
Lets just see what they think is worth fixing first.
This is me assuming screenshots would be built into the os.
I don't think it has to do with the Xoom hardware.
But I could be wrong.
So when has screen shots ever been built into the OS? Don't know what the big surprise is. Yes it would be nice, but eventually a root and simple software solution will present itself.
Now that we have a tablet OS which should be moving us closer to netbook replacement, it would be a nice feature to have without the need to root and have an external application. I take screenshots on my Windows machine every single day. We need to stop having a phone OS mentality and starting thinking tablet OS which is different. So yes, that would be a nice feature to have built in to Honeycomb.

Given the limited amount of hardware toggles on the Xoom, how would you suggest ScreenCapping be implemented? I'm not being condescending, I'm curious as to your thoughts.
ShootMe takes your cap by shaking your device. This seems logical because it wouldn't regurie anything as far as a UI.
If we ever receive extension support for the browser it seems adding a button to the toolbar would work, however that would limit caps to the browser only.
Anyone else have any ideas?

I am not a UI designer but there are probably many ways to do this. Long press screen, Print Screen in keyboard, add another system button to the taskbar on bottom, etc. In Windows, you just press the print screen button to copy to the clipboard. It can't be that difficult to implement something similar in Honeycomb. Once in the clipboard, you paste it to whatever application has focus. UI designers for Honeycomb can certainly figure out something this simple.

Samsung added it in the Galaxy Tab (which surprised me when I found out). On the Galaxy tab if you hold the back button and press the power button you get a screenshot, no root needed.

Correct, it was a Samsung add-on, not in the base OS.
Don't get me wrong, I think it would be a great thing for google to just throw in there and obviously it is very doable, and I do not know why it is not just part of the OS already.

Google has added it native in 2.3.3 so it wouldn't surprise me if it comes in a honeycomb update.

The inability to take screenshots without root or the sdk is a known issue to Android users.
The ability was added in Gingerbread. (I'm not allowed to post links yet but go to phandroid.com and search for a post by Kevin Krause on March 1st, 2011 at 7:35 am for details.) Samsung is the only dev to make use of the option so far (afaik) and only on gingerbread devices.
If you want an app that takes screenshots without root or the SDK, the option is there for you to develop such an app if you don't want to wait for someone else to do it.
Oh, and be sure to post a link to your apk for us when you're done. Thanks.

The Galaxy Tab has screen capture right out the box. Hold the back button and press the power button and it takes a screen capture and even puts it in the folder named screen capture. Just sayin.
That is one thing Apple did get right on the iPhone and iPad: press and hold the "Home" button at center bottom, then press and release the "power" button on top.
This made it really easy to create documentation at work... Android could have used a combination of one of the volume buttons and the power button. which would come in handy when either creating documentation on how to do something or for instructing users to send a screen shot of an error they are seeing...

Asus eee pad TF has had the screenshot function enabled out of the box. Is that an Asus add-on? I thought it was part of HC...

I did it by holding the power button and then pressing the home button [HTC Explorer]
Xoom Wifi ICS
Screenshot / Power and Vol Down
I've been playing around with Mark Wei's splendid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688531StandOut library and thought I'd share one app I've been finding useful.
It's very basic and very beta.
FloatNote v1.0.4b
Edit:
Thought I better provide some info
This app is very simple. It floats on top of other windows and lets you scribble notes or little sketches.
I wrote it for me and my phone so I know it runs okay on a Galaxy Note under cm9.
It's written for the galaxy note stylus so pressure increases pen stroke width and the side button gives you the eraser.
Select ink colour by swiping your stylus along the rainbow thing on the titlebar (the title text shows the selected colour). Click the sidebutton when touching the rainbow to return to black.
It autosaves your note and autoloads it when the app opens again.
Resize the window with the triangle in the bottom right corner.
I'm using the android native API so it may work okay(ish) on other devices. If it does, let me know.
Enjoy...
Nikad
Latest Update:
Version 1.0.9b
Changelog:
Major rewrite - had to do away with Mark's standout library and reimplement some of its functionality.
Hide and restore from the notification bar
Share note with other apps, email, etc
Saves position, size and pen colour.
Lots of bug fixes and improvements in performance/reliability
Important:
This app requires API Level 14 or higher to detect the stylus so you need ICS.
There are known issues running under Touchwiz so stick with a CM9/CM10 variant.
Know to run okay on the Galaxy Note International, I717 and the HTC Flyer.
If anyone runs it on other devices I'd love to know!

No quick launch yet, sorry
If you've ran the app already, you can launch it from your recent apps. But...
Improvements in mind include being able to hide the window and then show it when you click on the notification (I had this on an earlier alpha and just need to add it back in).
Multi-page note: support for more than one page.
Share note (with whatever).
I'm not going to go too heavy on functionality though. The idea was to be simple and uncluttered.
Thanks for you interest...

New version on its way. Just going through last testing and tweaking so maybe tonight/tomorrow morning.
Ended up doing a major rewrite just to provide a small amount of additional functionality. But it's all good! It even ended up smaller.
We now have an app that will hide and restore from the notification bar, can share the image with other apps and loads of reliability improvements.
I haven't had a chance yet to run it on other devices or on stock roms so all I can say is it works on the Galaxy Note under CM9.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
If you're on a call, just pull down the status bar and click on the notification. It's a bit of an illusion that it's "hidden". Really the app is shut down and relaunched when you click the restore notification.
By the way, I see you running a stock rom. Does TouchWiz not cause problems with FloatNote?
Thanks again for your interest!
Ok. That makes sense. I can restore it from the notification bar if it is hidden.. only thing the app must be up and running before that..
I do not use Touichwiz when there are great lauchers namely Nova these days.. It has been some time since I went back to TW
I use float to be called in one of the gesture of NOVA which is great. You would do a scrolling option on the screen if possible. That will help me add longer notes rather than extending the window,,
Thanks. :good:
Working great on RocketRom v10!

Will try again via desktop soon.
Good work!

Sorry!
I was half asleep and didn't see that it is for CM9.

Hello,
I just installed the new firmware upgrade to jelly bean, but i seem to have lost my little dot on the screen when i hover over it. It says
in the new pen settings page that it's a feature and should happen, but it doesn't.
Anything i can do to fix that ? it's a pretty solid feature i rely on a lot for drawing
EDIT: Request close!
For some reason i wasn't able to get into the air view settings until i reset it twice in a row with air view enabled, sorted now
Thanks Justinchi for replying
Goto Settings and go down to S Pen and check if "AirView" is enabled.

Oh, that suks.....D: Idk
The little stylus tracking dot on the screen is missing on my note since the jellybean update. I can enable the airview functions okay & they all work but the little tiny dot that existed on ICS is not there when I hover the stylus over the screen. I miss this function especially when drawing or editing documents, has anyone still got this with Jellybean or has the feature been removed?
SOLVED
you have to long press the ''air view" option until it highlights in blue and when you release it you get four options, one of which is to turn on the air view pointer.it is off by default.
Thanks to pwatkins over at phandroid for the solution

My problem I can not see Multi screen function on any of the Samsung apps ie Gallery, Snote, Video . Do I have to activate it in settings? I have looked and can not see any mention of it.

All the apps that can be used with multi screen can be found by pressing the upside down v icon that permanently sits in the middle of the very bottom of the screen. You should have seen this in all the vids you have watched. Once you click that, all the apps pop up and you can click on the one you want.
You can make it full screen by clicking the rectangle on the right, next to the close icon. When In full screen you should see the multi screen icon to the far right, its the last icon.....it looks like two rectangles....one in front of the other. You don't have to activate it....at least I never did.
Can you see it now?

Thanks for reply, the videos I have seen all show show multi screen icon on the top bar, on further research I know see the option is indeed in the upside down v icon with a choice for the Now called Dual View or Cascade View.
The Videos I watched all showed the dual view icon on the top ba,r not hidden in the pop up bottom bar far left hand corner, and to be honest when viewing videos to me anyway looked like two different features.
Thanks again for your help, the videos on Youtube all seem to be from 2 months ago ie not UK version.

The upside down v, (multi screen app tray) has always been on the note....even in ICS. But you quire rightly noticed that the multi screen icon in full screen apps has changed, and moved to the far right in the latest firmware. So basically all the apps that have the multi screen functionality can be accessed from the pop up tray at the bottom of any screen, that will open them in a small window that can be moved and resized. Then you can change it back and forth to full screen or small window as you wish using the icon on the top right actually in the app.
The 'dual view/cascade view' option on the bottom right of the multi screen app tray you talk about was not in the older firmware at all......you just opened a multiscreen app from the multiscreen app tray (upside down v), and then changed to full screen or dual view from within the app. I can understand why it was confusing.

Just to confirm my confusion every time I selected the multi screen icon it would just reduce in size (small and float about) not like I saw in the Youtube Videos ie snap into place half screen. So when I found the cascade/dual view icon (bottom left hand corner The upside down v, multi screen app tray) set it to dual view foolishly thinking that was correct! NO. Then I changed it to Cascade view but showing the matching two box overlay icon. YES.
Confusion Rules OK
Thanks Again.
Oh well. At least now you know you were watching Notes with old firmware and outdated features. Your firmware version with Dual view AND cascade view is sooo much better.
Here's an overview of what you can do with the multi view apps.....if you haven't already found a video ........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FOmb-9bI6s&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

We already know about the big things like removeable battery and SD and ir blaster... if you find something include a work around if you know of one.... I've noticed the removed continuous scroll on TouchWiz as well as hiding apps from TouchWiz launcher. They also removed the "Samsung cloud" which has been present since the Note 2 that allowed my Facebook and Dropbox photos to appear in my gallery..... please if anyone knows how to activate that feature please tell me!!

Yea they replaced the menu key with thenmulti window key on the note 4 you'll get used to it shortly... And another way to turn notifications off is if you hold your finger on it some options will come up.

Worth noting: On the Note4, you can still access the menu by holding down the recent programs soft key for a couple seconds. On the Note5, you can do it by holding down the back soft key. Holding down recents will give you easy access to split screen view.

I noticed this, as well, but I think this is an "upgrade" as the "100s" of toggles were too many before. I have also noticed that there are less entries in the menu, making it simpler looking and easier to navigate/find stuff. It doesn't always necessarily mean options were removed, but just put into a different place. I think overall, this is a good thing because it makes navigating and using the menus much easier and faster.
Among other things, I did notice in S-Note the ability to transcribe handwriting into text is gone. I noticed this even though I don't use it much, so it isn't a huge loss. I think most of the missing items on this phone are mostly not necessary and were rarely ever used, so it seems like it's basically a good thing.
I do wish they didn't remove the ability to disable the Flipboard screen on the stock launcher. Now, the only way to get rid of it even after disabling the Flipboard app is the install a 3rd party launcher. That is my only complaint, but I rarely ever use the stock launcher anyway, so it's not really a huge issue for me.
So far this phone is F***ing sick!

You can disable the flipboard page just hold your finger down on the home screen and then scroll to the flipboard page and you'll see a check mark, just uncheck it. Is that what you're talking about? Hope this helps
Wow! Thanks so much!
That's what I was taking about. They simplified everything so it's not so cluttered, but in some cases it makes things harder to find.
That is what I was looking for. I didn't even notice the check mark before. Thanks, again.

The IR blaster gone, cannot use phone as remote control
As someone who shoots lots of photography. I noticed they have removed the Black and White setting from the camera. It has been replaced with a terrible filter called "Monogram". I have searched through all the menus and even the "downloads" section. NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. Like WHY? I prefer shooting in B&W. Like at least let me download it. WTH?!

If you have a backup of all your apps using titanium backup or another similar app
you can get that black/white filter file from there.
Or you can even get it from the twrp flashable zipfile which you used to flashed
your rom with.
It's in the same location in the zip file as all the other camera filter files.
(it's either in system/apps or in the system/priv-apps folder.)
Once you extract the b/w filter file copy it into the same location where all the other
filter files are located in your note 5, who knows you just might luck out and it might
work for you.
The filter files don't require flashing or even installing
so there's really a good chance that it will work for you.
To play safe, be sure to fix the attributes for the b/w filter
file to match all the other filter files attributes after copying.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I've noticed that Google Play Music no longer puts the album art on your lockscreen when you're listening to music. Frankly I'm kinda pissed about this because I really liked it.
S-Note doesn't allow you to change the default notes view. I used to change it to "list view" instead of the default "tile" view. Now I can only see it in"tile"view.
