How to take screenshot after 2020-09 update - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have updated my Pixel 3 xl and I can't see SS option after i push power button.
Do you know where they hide it

Same button combo as before (power + volume down) OR a new software button on the task switch screen ( when you swipe up to change between apps)

Not of them. I just double push to power button and It seems it is working with android's weird app

Double click of the power button should bring up the camera (though I think you can turn that off). Long pressing the power button should bring up power options, google pay, and smart home controls.

I hold home button until recent 8 apps popup appears. Then vol up down operate as normal. Once i adjusted volume i back out of the popup for recent apps. Works without any problems for me this way. Hope it helps

Plug in your earphones for volume down

[REQUEST] [MOD] screenshot with button combo rather than swipe

wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.

Camera

Did google mention if there is a quick way to activate the camera from the lock screen? Maybe double tap power button?

It's the same as on your Nexus 6P. The camera can be activated by pressing the power button twice. This works when the screen is off, on the lockscreen or in any app that you might be in. The volume rockers will act as a shutter button if you've set them up like that in the settings. If your screen is on and you're on the lockscreen, you can also swipe up from the bottom right to activate the camera.

Hard home press button

I have seen many people on here talk about the hard home press button. I have barely used it. I wanna know why is it important? Am i missing out on a feature?
For me it goes straight to home when i press it.

Hard press then swipe left or right.
Kinda cool but Good Lock and one handed mode makes it useless.
Actually when my screen is off, and I can't reach the power button, or if it was on a table, pressing the power button is annoying, so with this hard press I can wake my device easily just like the normal home button in previous galaxy devices, and you can configure the pressure level as well.
Also in full-screen apps, or in case of hiding the navigation bar, just hard press the home button and you're back to your home screen, without having to swipe up to get your navigation bar.

[Q] Bixby button re-map for Mute

I know you can re-map the bixby button to open an app that will toggle mute the sound. However, when you double-press the bixby button with the screen off, will the act of double pressing the bixby button wake the screen??
What I am looking to do is re-mapp the button so that it acts like an iphone/Oneplus alert slider so that when the phone is in my pocket I can double press the bixby button and the phone goes into silent mode. But I don't want the screen to wake up when I do this.
Any advice on how to achieve this without waking the screen will be most appreciated. Perhaps the best way is to use tasker??
Thanks and appreciate any pointers, particularly from someone who already has this set-up
S20 line don't have Bixby button
I think OP meant the power button.
Power Button Remapper for S20 / Note 10 - sideActions will let you do that.

I did indeed mean the "combined" power and bixby button. Thanks for your suggestion ??
