Taking screenshots on this phone is tedious. You either 1) have to swipe with your palm or 2) press and hold the home button and power button, which has proven to be highly prone to error. If you mis-time it, you'll trigger the Home button.
On my Nexus 5, it's easy, you just do volume down + power.
How can I make this happen on the Galaxy S6?

Is it possible to change the power button function?
I keep pressing it by mistake when I use my phone in both landscape and portrait modes. I've had the phone for ages now and just can't hold the phone comfy without my fingers resting against the power button.
It would be nice if I could set the power button to sleep on long press like the reboot menu, and have the reboot menu on a 10second press.
Would this be possible?
Sent from my Oxygen 2.3.1 powered Nexus S.
I made a MOD for the Galaxy S III which remaps the Menu key to the home button. The issue I'm having is that when I do this, it also enables the long press on the normal menu capacitive button even though a normal press is disabled.
Does anyone know how to disable the long press of a button?
I make CyanogenMod 10 for my device. Official firmware - android 4.1.1. I have serious problems with the processing of pressing the power button and volume buttons.
When I press the power button, the phone starts to behave inappropriately. It appears when i try to unlock: not always the first time gets unlocked, you need a short press that the attempt was successful. And if you say I want to call the power menu, long clamp the power button and the phone will vibrate like crazy and there is a bunch of copies of windows power menu, you press back - phone go to the bootanimation ...
By the way with the volume button a similar situation! As is well known in the CyanogenMod is feature - volume buttons scroll through tracks. So if I clamp rocker to scroll through the forward / backward, flipping loops and skipped about 5-6 tracks!
In what could be the problem?
Surely someone had anything like that.
Sorry for my bad english)
hi friends:
i have an old infuse 4g which has the known power button issue so i remapped the volume_up button as power and power button as volume.
the remapping is working fine and i can see that the volume up button works like power and power button works like volume_up.
but sometimes it still power-off my phone when i touch or press power-button. during this time, i dont see an option to poweroff or reboot but the screen becomes black and i see samsung logo, basically its like somebody pulled the plug.
can somebody explain why is this?
many thanks in advance
Now it has to call the screen cap by power off button, how to set it under scroll down meun? thanks.
Press power plus volume down button?
I've found holding down the power button is the best option. It gives you a menu with Screenshot in the list.
Alternative is as viperc suggested, or you could long press the home soft button and use the Google Share Screenshot feature?
