Tap anywhere on screen to take photos?? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just got the galaxy s6 and I am so impressed with the phone so far but there's one feature that doesn't seem to be here that was on previous Samsung phones. The ability to tap anywhere on the screen to take photos. "tap to take pics" on the settings screen. Am I missing this somewhere or have Samsung removed it?
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance.

I second this request. Anybody here who can enlighten us about this feature?

To take a screenshot
hold power button and home button at the same time :good:

Don't think screenshot is what they are asking for dude

dropcap

I don't know if anyone here uses dropcap to get screen captures. I have tried to get a screen capture several times only to find that the picture is of the lg booting screen. Anyone else run into this same problem?

Press the Home button+power button to take screenshots of your screen, no need for any other application
Awesome thanks a lot

Built in screenshot on g2x

there is a way to take screen shot on the G2x without any other app, just press the home button and the power button at the same time and the phone will take a screenshot of the active screen.
Good stuff! Thanks!!

Where in the directory structure does it save the screenshots?
EDIT: Found it. /sdcard/CapturedImages

Flip edge panel?

Is there a way to flip the edge panel 180 degrees by default? It just seems like it should be flipped

I wish! Makes no sense the way it is, especially when the night clock is the right way up but nothing else is.
Only thing I have found to work (temporarily) is to open an app that can be rotated, then turn your phone so the edge is at the bottom, and then shut the flip cover. Now anything on the edge is the right way up. But as soon as you open an app the right way up again (or go home) then it goes upside-down again.
This is for those people that do not bother to go into phone settings. Go into the edge panel settings and check the box that says FLIP EDGE PANEL 180 DEGREES...REALLY????

Where is that option?? When I go to Edge settings there is no checkbox for flip panel 180 degrees! Are you in left-handed mode or something? Any chance of a screenshot please?
Believe this is only for use with screen rotation. Maybe you should try it first before you claim you kno what you are talking about. Tried to insert screenshot but isnt working

Galaxy s4 lollipop update missing features

I have the i9505 and I recently received the lollipop update on Vodafone Ireland.
I am missing some features such as ambient display and screen pin, this is very annoying as I was looking forward to these the most.
Did my carrier or Samsung decide to leave them out? And if so how can I get them back?
Thank you for any help
Screen pin lockscreen should be there i have it on btu 5.0.1 ,as for ambient display i dont think samsung added this feature maybe on note 4 and s5 dunno
..
Thanks for your quick reply, I can't find screen pin tho. It is not in the security tab, I would post a screenshot but I can't as I'm not allowed yet
This is what I have on my btu.

Sorry , I didn't make it clear . it is my fault. I am talking about screen pinning
You mean a password that you put in to get in your phone?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
No that is not what I mean . screen pinning is when u can pin an active app to the screen and you can't quit it. It is useful when you are handing the phone to a friend.
Oh I see what you mean now and BTU does not have this feature nexus does though maybe in next update it might come.

It is supposed to come in 5.1 as far as I know.
The S4 does not support full ambient display. The "turn screen on when the phone is picked up" part doesn't work on the S4. Hardware limitations.
Ohh okay. Great. Thank you
The screen pin doesn't seem to be included why I'm not sure
But try look under security
On g3 its there

CM12 is known for adding custom features..
Also, I watched a 5.1 review and the guy said something about screen pinning being back or that it has a screen pinning feature. Something along those lines.
I don't have it on my 5.0.1 GPE rom
Ohh thanks guys, guess I will either get CM12 or wait for the next update

Camera Lag

Anyone know a way to get rid of the delay between when you hit the button to take a picture? My camera takes a few seconds to focus before it takes the shot, which always leaves you missing something in the moment. My wife has an m8 as well on another carrier but don't see the same lag there.
