There are widgets for that, just look through the Play Store. (Widgetsoid has that option I believe)

Has anyone figured out how to take a screen shot with it yet?
I9100 has the feature but I cant find it with the T989.
Tap home, then power button

There's also a app that takes screen shots without root, forgot the name. It works on the t-989

Home + power. if you want an app then use "Screen Capture Shortcut free". it works like a charm.
It's hold power and tap home a second later

I found pressing the home button first then the power button is a little easier from a timing standpoint. I works perfectly IMO.

So, when I tap the home button first I get the task manager and pressing the power button takes a screen shot of the task manager.
If I press the power button first I get the airplane mode/ power off window and pressing home I get a screen shot of that.
Do I need to work on my timing or speed? How to get a shot of the window I want and not one of these other two things?

You can hit both of them at the same time, it usually snaps the screenshot that you want.
Most of the Roms when you hold the power button down like your going to shut it off will give you the option to take a screenshot. I am using BeastMOD II v2.5 and option is there.
My phone won't screenshot with the button combo but it is in my power menu. And yes, it has SU permission.

How come when I try to send my screenshot through mms the other person can't open it because resolution and file size? and its well under 50k too

Is this possible? I don't like using the S pen to take screen shots because I always end up marking up the image and it gets annoying having to take it out just for a quick screen shot.
Slide your hand across your screen.. boom... I find it works best using the back of my hand with my fingers touching the screen as well
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Yes if you swipe your palm across the whole screen either right or left it will take a screen shot. Also holding down the power button plus the home key will also do it.

Neither of these work for me, I guess it doesn't work on Nova Launcher and only Touchwiz.
Thank for the replies though!:good:
Edit: never mind, holding power + home worked! thank again guys!
Just hold power button and home button down at same time and it takes a screen shot hope that helps
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
also the palm swipe requires that you enable "MOTION" and check the screenshot option (motion is off by default unless you selected to enable it)
I can confirm ALL THREE operations function. press hold spen (pressing button) or palm swipe or simul press hold home and power.

check your settings.
go to Motion / Palm swipe to capture
and enable it.
Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.

I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.
The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?
I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.
This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39326
The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?
I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.

its normal for the phone to take time to wake up after pressing home button...as phone is waking up from deeeeep sleeeep conserving your battery...search for 'home button lag' fix guide
So i love the note 3 just love it. When i first got it every time i would hit my power button it would wake up the phone very fast , as soon as i hit the button. Now I've notice every time i hit the power button i can see it take its time to show my lock screen ?? This happening to anyone? Also the phone is very very fast just wondering why its doing it now? Thanks!

I have it off but when i pull down on the lockscreen the weather app is there.... Mind you i have everything off.
I have noticed this too. Sometimes it does it and some times it dont. Don't know if it's because we are rod or what. Thought about making it bout loop Judy to get another one and not rot it all ask to see if it does it on a stock note3 lol

no way. I've run CM roms without S-Voice and it happens. it's a hardware thing. I got used to it with my SII.

I highly doubt that because I have run all types of ROMs and on any Samsung device when s voice is enabled there was always a lag. The note 2, the note 3, s3, s4. all of the forums have a thread just like this, and when 99 percent turn off s voice the lag goes way

Mine does it as well. Mine also does it when turning it off as well. Pressing the power button means waiting for a minimum 2 seconds for the phone to respond. I'm going to exchange mine since my original unit didn't have this problem. And no, its not any settings or apps causing this.
Mine doesn't do it, opens instantly every time whether I have widgets on or off but I don't have Voice unlock on.
Someone help me edit the commands for S-Voice. I'm looking to unlock the device with S-Voice, but can't see any options under ' Menu - Settings - Device - Lock screen ... ' I have enabled ' Wake up command ' and ' Voice Wake-up' under S -Voice Settings...
Where the heck do I find ' edit voice commands ' and ' lock screen options to add widgets ' ???
This is on my TMO [ stock, not rooted ] N3 ...
