Screenshot Shortcut?

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 use screenshot er & it places an icon at the bottom of the screen.Simply tap & voila!

the solution is double tap, but u have to move finger down in second tap. So tap - tap+down.
Not the best thing after moving from ios.

Ah I think I've got it. Try triple tapping the text

Kind of a triple tapping but the logic behind it is that the first tap is to get focus (just move to the text area) and then the double tap will bring you the options to copy-cut-paste.

Nope. I cant select text using double tap. Not even after focusing.

It's mostly system wide (email, sms, etc). Tap to focus, doubletap to select all. Move sliders to select what you want

Weird that it doesn't work for you. I was puzzled by inconsistent results over the last few days but clicking once to select the URL in chrome, then double clicking (without moving) brings up the two markers and the usual options at the top of the screen every time. It's annoying that you can't copy text from the Play Store, though. Why can't I copy text from every app, always, in exactly the same way? With the power of Android/the Z3 it should really be possible to copy text from images, not struggle with this basic stuff which has worked on Windows for 20+ years!

Download:

------------ reserved for changelogs ---------------------

Can you guys provide some feedback?
Planned additions:
-Ability to view user's galleries (clickable users)
-Ability to follow users (add them to your Instagram account)
-Clickable locations (see on a map)
-Pick a location to watch
-Adjust the radius to watch
-View your liked photos

Hi @Flyview cool concept. You asked for feedback. I think you should allow the transitions to be slower 2 seconds is to fast.

I don't really understand the seconds of the transition is it random ?
You might want to show a small overlay as a tutorial on first start I found the one tap to pause which is nice and the two tap to like, but I liked a picture without knowing what the 2 tap would do and I don't know which one it was
I'd like a go back feature too, if you see a picture and right when it disappears you notice something but you can't go back, so just a see previous like a swipe right.
Living in Paris I learned with your app that most pictures on instagram are of the Eiffel tower

Getting a blank screen many times.

It will show a new picture whenever there is a new one available (up to minimum of every second), this will be configurable. I have to think of a good way to show previous pictures. I was thinking the old ones would become scrollable below but if someone new comes to the app they may think it's like Instagram where the point is to scroll down. And yes, intro overlay should be added as well. That's awesome about Paris haha!

Hmmm that's not good. Do you have Google apps installed? What's your Android OS and ROM? It'll work with whatever location provider is available, GPS is not necessary.

Do you mean "Google apps device policy"? no
I run 4.4.2 on Asus A86 device

@Flyview nice app i have few suggestions
1. Ability to select the distance range for nearby pictures
2. Ability to click the user of the pic uploader, which takes directly to their profile so that we can follow them.
3. Custom picture refresh time.
4. Add an overlay which has buttons to Pause/Play Previous/Next buttons.

tried uninstall, reinstall and login.
there is an error warning warning telling me i have to enable cookies in my browser, or disable private mode? then this blank screen all the time. only way to reach login page is uninstall/reinstall

Oh ok that makes sense then. You need to enable cookies in Chrome (or whatever browser the Instagram login page is using). Otherwise LivePics can't log you in to your Instagram account.

Same problem, I only get a white screen. Running KiKat on a stock TMobile Note 3. Tried clearing data. Hangs on login screen usually, then it will give the login/cookies error message. If I get past that, back to white screen. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling - same results.

So do you ever see the screen where you enter username/password for instagram or does the message come before that? A screenshot would be great!

Stripped from the Note 4

This a thread to compile a list of things that we noticed were stripped from the Note 4 in the Note 5. 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!! Add more below

This may be a software issue (5.01 to 5.11) but I can not find the MULTI WINDOW ON/OFF switch. Not where it is on note 4

Cant figure out how to hide apps, folders, pics, turn off notifications for certain apps. Also coming from a note 3, the button to the left of the home key used to be a settings button now it only brings up open windows. I do not like this at all... need some serious help here.

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.

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.

GUIDE: V20 Tips and Tricks

I'm writing this guide to help V20 users get the most out of their new phone immediately. I'll update the OP and welcome replies with other tips or tricks that I'll be happy to include as well.
1) Change the theme
This is a pretty easy one and changes the stock LG white setup to what I think is a better black setup. Perhaps they'll have more options soon. It looks more "tech" and if you're reading this on XDA I presume this is more of your flavor as well.
Goto Settings> Display> Theme> Choose Black Bold
2) Enable Ok Google detection even when display is off
Why? Alternate way to wake, unlock, and launch apps even when phone display is off. I find this much more handy than even using the fingerprint sensor
Goto the Google app>Open menu (upper left)>Settings>Voice>"Ok Google" detection>Always on>Trusted voice. Make sure you train the "Ok Google' Voice model
3) Add more fingerprints to unlock and security
Why? You'll find out when you switch hands (to film a video of the device perhaps) and can't unlock your phone with the pointer finger of your other hand.
Settings>General>(Privacy)Fingerprints & Security>(General)Fingerprints>Unlock(Ok)>+ Add fingerprint
4) Camera enhancements
The camera app defaults to a 12 MP pic vs. taking advantage of the full 16 MP it has. Let's change that
Open the settings(the gear icon)>Photo size>4:3(16MP)
While your in there I'd also change the HDR setting
Open the settings(the gear icon)>(General) HDR>Auto

I had a G4 before I jumped to the Galaxy S7 edge. I just jumped to the V20 and going back to back being on the left hand side felt so natural. I didn't even have to relearn it or anything. I miss having the back button on the opposite side of the phone. I'm so happy to be back.

You can use the flash for alerts , sometimes I put my phone face down, seems to work. Just doesnt keep flashing though.

I went into 'Settings' and disabled everything I could there except what I only need. Have had zero issues after and incredible battery life.
Also, to save mobile data usage I disabled background data on everything but Gmail. After 6GB my device slows you see. Let me find out where that setting is for you.
Okay, go into 'Networks' 'Mobile Data' , click on the app and restrict anything you don't need to keep updated when it's not running like Gmail. Only two I have are Gmail and Swype so Swype saves my keyboard new word list. I have a potty mouth and tons of terrible words I add not found in the dictionary and stuff.

I wish you can have a pop-up for incoming calls during navigation like Samsung's Galaxy line.
