This suggestion below does NOT work on the Note 2

The graphics look correct. Make sure you start the swipe off screen to the right and move to the left and all the way out of the screen to the left side. Make sure the edge of you palm is in contact with the phone screen all the time. The home button and power button also works for me.
 
Works perfectly for me, karate chop, slide hand across the screen, in contact with the glass.
 
Works perfectly for me. I don't have to go slow or make sure my hand is straight or start off screen. I just swipe one side to the other and it snaps a screen shot.
 
I did a tutorial of this in this video:
Galaxy Note 2 Tips & Tricks (Episode 7: Different LED Flashlight Intensities, Screen Capture) - YouTube

Starting @2:20. I cover a few ways to do a screen capture and why people have a hard time doing them because it is a bit tricky to get it right.

There are a couple of ways of doing swipe screen capture. I see a problem already with the title though. There have been devices that detects wave to enable actions, but Galaxy Note 2 isn't one of them.

It isn't a wave. It is a swipe. You can also do it with a finger by swiping half the screen as long as you lay your finger down flat like you were wiping off water like a squeegee. You can also do it horizontally.

You stopped after turning on motion.

  • Settings
  • Motion (On) now tap the word Motion to get to other options
  • Scroll down to Hand Motion Section - Palm swipe to capture

I struggled with this on the S3. Make sure that the edge of your hand glides across the glass from right to left (direction shouldnt matter) while touching the glass. By edge of your hand, imagine you were to karate chop the screen. Let us know if it works for you!

Hi finn, I managed to "karate chop" my screen, but where to find the screenshots? It says "saved to clipboard" where is tht? :confused::confused:
 
Not only does it work for me, it's one of the few gesture features that works for me every time.

There is a slight difference between swipe to screenshot and using the SPen. When you swipe across the screen, it automatically saves the screenshot as a png file in the Pictures/Screenshots folder. If you click the SPen button and hold it on the screen, it's more like a print screen function, and you have to tap the check mark to save it. You can also use the SPen to draw on the screenshot before saving. That's how ScandaLeX wrote the directions on the screen shots.

The other option is to use a photo editor to write on the screenshot as well (if you swipe the screen).

I'll try to keep it simple. It took me a minute to figure this out. I could've read the manual but I wanted to try to figure it out on my own.
If you try to write directly on the pic it'll flip over for writing on the back. You either have to take a screen shot of a pic or use an app.

To write on the front I use Samsung's Photo Editor app.
Launch it
Click camera, take pic, click save.
Click decoration, drawing.

When finished writing click done and save.
Open your gallery. Pic is in PhotoEditor folder.

Samsung's way is to take a screen shot of the pic you want to write on. The edited pic gets save in the IMG_edited folder. I don't like Sammy's way.

If anyone else has any other way they write on pics please feel free to share.

Initially I was doing the screen shot until I realized Photo Editor can launch the camera making taking a screen shot unnecessary.
 
I have the SAME ISSUE! I've tried everything mentioned in the threads! Very very frustrating. If I pay this much for a phone, I would like all the features to work... I know it might not seem like a big deal but this is one of the things I liked about the phone before I purchased it. Would love a solution. I've checked all the settings and it just doesn't work.
 
Worked for me. Oddly enough it seems to have cleared the "log jam" and now its easy to do. Also covering the device mutes and pauses movies. Interesting.
