Screen Capture using palm!

[saniel47]

I just read Korean news article..

You can capture the screen without pen.(tap and hold with pressing the button)

Just sweep the screen with the side of your palm..like cleanning the screen!

Sorry if it's not a new function for you :-(..

I saw this in a video as well and it's my primary way of screencapping. So badass!

TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIGURE IT OUT .. but i love it now

It doesn't work with every app though from my experience but if it doesn't work I just use the s-pen.

There are 3 different ways to screen shot.

1. S-pen
2. Using the side of your palm
3. Holding home button and pressing the power button

There are also a ton of more awesome tricks. There's a thread on XDA with different tips.

This is already written in the User Manual of the Note under Gestures Topic if I remember right. All the available gestures with the Note are given there.

By using side of palm swipes across the screen, more often than not, I failed to screenshot successfully than the other way round. Having said that, Thanks for the merits of sharing knowledge here!

I've tried it a gazillion times, and I just can't get it to work for me. Guess I'll stick to the pen method.

Swipe from left to right. Works every time for me.

I find that it doesn't work on Menu type screens. Photos, Documents & Web Pages are OK.

No matter how many times I try it, with different speeds of swiping, and different types of pages, I cannot get even one to work.
