Taking a screenshot on your Galaxy S4 is very easy and quick. There are two options on taking a screenshot.
First option:
As you can see in the first picture, you just have to hold the Power Button and the Home Button at the same time for a couple of seconds, then the screenshot will be saved on your gallery.
Second option:
First go to Settings»Motions and Gestures and enable Palm Motion. Then just flip your hand over the screen to take a screenshot. Simple as that.
I tried method 1, twice, and each time it did a reboot of my phone.nothing happened with method 2.
Hi tammy, are you running stock or custom?
Not changed a thing on it..
Weird. Go te Settings > More > About Device and check out Android version and Build number
Version 4.2.2
build number incredibly long. Tried to see if I could copy it by pressing on it.. after a few times a little message popped up
you are now 3 steps closer to being a developer
Weird.. pressed a few other fields ans back to build same message but number decremented to 2
too bad I can’t screenshot it
That is a Android 4.2.2 feature, where you can enable developer options by pressing build number 7 times.
You said that every time you tried method 1 your phone just reboots. That can happen only because you haven’t pressed Power button and home button at the same time.
Thanks. I suspect it might be interference from my case as it covers the power button. Thanks
Hi I want to try the 2nd option but it does not working..
You should slightly touch the screen when flipping your hand over the phone. It needs some time to get used to do this correctly.
None of these options are working. I feel like I have a lemon phone. I suspect I might need to go exchange it??
Are you using Touchwiz firmware? Try the first option one more time Sharon. Press the power and the home button at the same time and hold them for two seconds.
I am trying and trying option 2 but it just won’t work!!
Have you put a little pressure on the screen when swiping Rachel?
OPTION 3;
Settings> My Device> Accessibility> Assistant Menu
Once setup, a small floating square on screen, movable / re-positionable, one tap to open and one more to capture screen, easy-peasy
