Home key + power button at the same time. You probably already know about it but maybe there are a few who don't.

Mine started doing it a while back and it turned out to be my screen protector. I was using Stealth Guard protectors at the time.

Hmm, Im not using a screen protector.
Are those buttons along the bottom actually buttons, or are they just touch sensititve?
See if it tends to work better if you press it as soon as the button back lights go off.... I had to return my first vibrant because of this hardware issue.

Yes, it works better when the backlight goes off! Damn it, I don't want to have to return this phone. Its easy to get into download mode...
Could it have anything to do with the rom I'm running? (Obsidian v4) its supposed to support a kernel with backlight notification...

There's a delay when pressing the home button. So when i press the home button it takes like 2 seconds to go the home page.
Its really annoying
Anyone else with this problem ?

I don't remember exactly, but it's home and power button or something like that to take screenshot. I know that it is power button and another button in combination.
hold down the power button, before the screen comes up that asks you to reboot or power off, hit the home button... only need to wait like 1 sec before you hit the home button.
Works thanks a mil

I will not take credit for finding this because I'm sure its already been mentioned earlier than i have searched but.....
When holding the stylus, if you press the grey button on the side of it down by the tip and then press and hold the tip on your screen while pressing the grey button, it takes a screen shot of your display. Lets you draw or write on the image and send/share/save/discard...whatever you want. I found this by accident today.
Pretty neat. I wonder what else this thing does that I don't about. Amaaaazing device....wow.

The screen shot feature with the S-Pen is very well known.
Also, if you hold the button and swipe with the S-Pen you are able to use home, menu and back keys.
Button + Swipe Up = Menu
Button + Swipe Down = Home
Button + Swipe Left = Back
Also holding your phone, using the side of your hand, swipe from right to left takes a screenshot of current display

Lol, no it only works sometimes for me. I wouldnt worry about that. It could be my case or screen protector or both. But besides the mentioned ways you can press the home button and power button at the same time for a screenshot.

Any way to remap the camera button yet?
I'd like to turn on the flashlight app when the screen is off, on long press of the camera button.
The phone isn't rooted, and I've no interest in rooting it currently.
Any suggestions?
Well I will tell you before you can even think about doing something like this you will definitely need to be rooted at the least. I'm sure it can be done by one of the devs....
