On Ultra also so I guess it's not on S20 series. Why do you want to use it? Slow wifi?

It's typical of samsung to remove features that ppl don't really use to make up space for new features. Sort of like Google labs. It is probably discontinued and removed from the newer roms.
I personally miss the old samsung camera where u can push the white shutter button up or down to zoom in or out instead of pinching the screen. I really loved that feature so I don't need to use 2 hands to take a photo.

You can use volume buttons for zoom.

Yes, but then you can't use it as a shutter button.

Of course you do. Everybody knows that.
I was replying to the post saying that you can set volume buttons as a zoom control.
I don't know any way how to set it for both functions at the same time.

You'll still need a second hand to press those buttons..

It's missing on the Note20 Ultra too. I asked about it on the Samsung community forums and someone suggested that it might've been removed because there is no need for it anymore with the already fast download speeds on 5G. Not sure if there's any truth to that or not.

I now have a Fold 2 and missing on there too. But after searching through some forums on samsung Community it seems that it is present in the US and is carrier dependant. Not available in UK. My previous Note 10 was also 5G but it was on there.

My Note20 Ultra is the U.S. unlocked version, so you would think that, without the influence of a carrier, that feature would've been included by default. Especially for those times when I'm not near enough to my wifi or 5G is not available. Seriously? What does Samsung care about whether or not I use WiFi and data to download things? Just think of how fast downloads would be with 5G and a strong WiFi connection too! Maybe they're afraid those speeds would blow up our devices like the Note7. [emoji1]

He's talking about this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j-oTLGPUEY
The video says, hit home+volume up to record.
It seems to also not be working right now.
This is damned odd to put stuff in your videos that aren't available.

Because all the peoplethat I know or reviews I have seen online of the note 2, doesn't have this feature.
Maybe I am in a mistake, and simply the people doesn't know how to make it work, but if they removed it its a shame

They were using this as a selling point before release, we have to hope it will come back like split - screen, maybe it was just not ready.

I was looking forward to this feature, sad to see it's not available.
The thread linked below goes into a bit more detail about it (not much more detail). It may come in an OTA... I'm guessing the kinks they are working out, as mentioned in that thread, is the ability to block the recording or movies from Netflix, and Play Store Movies, etc.

Same issue as call recording or camera shutter sound then I would guess. Can be enabled using the csc feature method maybe?
I would be interested in this feature to record skype calls, if thats how it works (ibhavent watched the video lol)
Maybe the feature can be extractd from one of the earliest ruu's? (If somebody knows what theyre doing there)

They just showed this feature in their youtube video but it was not available in any of the device but you can record screen using apps from play store.
Rec is the best app minimun requirements are android 4.4 and your phone must be rooted

Does the Tab S have a proper dialler

Dont know why it is so hard to find this info online but can someone confirm whether the 4g/LTETab S can be used as a big phone i.e it has a normal dialler just like a phone (when used with a sim card of course).
Thanks
Yes it does
It's a phone on steroids + a whole lot more

The tab s 8.4lte I think has the phone speaker near the camera in which you can use vs the tab s 10.5 doesnt
Anyway to pull the apk? I could use bluetooth on the rare chance that I need to use the dialer.
from what i know US carrier don't allow phone capabilities on tablets, so that tab s with a dialer, is it an exynoss international version? does it get LTE from t-mobile and at&t? does the snapdragon version have a dialer? if i buy a US carrier version can I add a dialer and text apps that will actually work with my phone number? lol
man are these tablets over price for the old technology they come with. a note 3 is better. that screen though that screen!

scrolling screen shot?

Interesting. Im curious, how does that work? What would be scrolling? How would you send it and how would someone viewing it see it? I feel dumb but Ive never heard of this and Im super intrigued.
By "scrolling", is that just like a long screenshot? I would love that sort of native functionality, I've always had to use an app for it...I'm currently on one from the play store called Screen Master...

Yeah, I think that's what the OP is referring to.
Samsung's (at least the Note series, not positive on others) had it built in, where if you take a screenshot there would be a button that says like "scroll down" or something, and it would scroll a page length down, and you could keep doing it. The result being a long image.
Screen Master seems like a nice app for it.
Wish it was just built into the screenshot capture though

I came from a Note and ya I miss scrolling screenshot. I use LongShot now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leavjenn.longshot
It works well. I just wish it was directly integrated into the screenshot function.

Want to Change S-Pen Sounds without having to use another app

The Note 20 Ultra is Great, but I would like to be able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to install another App or a Launcher.
I would likento know where the Hidden Folder would be for the S-Pen Sounds so I can Change the Sound for when it is removed as well as it being put back.
If Anyone Knows this Information, then Please post it here for Everyone to see.
Agian, No Mods, No Apps, and No Launchers to change the S-Pen Sounds.

I'm going to just go assume you'd need root to change the audio files that are most likely located in the system partition.
Do you have the Exynos or Snapdragon variant?
Tried to on the 10+, no joy.
Be nice if there be a Good Lock apk to do this...
It's a new phone.... you're not gonna find a way this soon in the game to do it without some other app. Do they even have root yet for it? Cause those folders you need root to view.

They are apparently going to be releasing a Good Lock app for Spen customization. May include sound changes if you want something more "official"

The Pentastic app available through the GoodLock app. Allows multiple customization to the S-Pen.

Yea, that was the app I was referring to. Seems decent, just gotta find some good pointers and sounds.
The good thing about Pentastic is you can install it as a standalone, good lock is not required. Pentastic is pretty good fun to use, well worth a try, just to try out new pen removal and insert noises is worth it.
Those looking to add lightsaber sounds to spen, download the lightsaber notification sounds from the zedge and use timbre app to reduce the volume of those files by 50% since they are very loud. 50% less is perfect balance.
I didn't get it on the playstore.. you can down load the apk from other sources.

Everyone is Talking about Good Lock.
What My Original Post was referring to was for being able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to Install ANY other Apps that eat up Space and Resources.
I wish that by going through the System Files somewhere in Android that the S-Pen Sound Files Can be Found and Replaced for Both taking Out the S-Pen and Inserting the S-Pen.
Hopefully the Sounds are in an MP3 Format and can be Swapped without Any Problems and would stay even after Updates.
