Screenshot problem!!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Because since I bought this device to make the screenshot with the gesture of the palm.
I tried a thousand times but nothing to do.
What is wrong?
I think it's easy! It 'a problem of my device?
The logical option is flagged, but never once succeeded.
Will you help me figure out if something is wrong or some application that bothers him??
Thank you!

did you enabled the motion in the settings > motion > palm swipe to capture (checked)? also tried rebooting/factory resetting it?

Go to your Settings > Motion > Scroll to the bottom and make sure that "Palm swipe to capture" option is checked and then you should be fine to take screenshot using your hands. And by saying your palm we don't mean put your hand on the screen and swipe it to the left or right we mean by the side of your palm on the screen and swipe it..

Thanks to both. I checked everything several times but to no avail!
I tried both with the original ROM when I purchased both with other rom modified (Original - Omega - Fox Hound).
I have to take care in your opinion??

No new ideas??????

The term I've heard is " karate chop" in describing it
1. Shape your hand as if you are going to "karate chop" the right hand side of the screen.
2. Chop the right side and touch the screen with the edge of your hand.
3. Keep your hand in contact with the screen and swipe right > left

I couldn't get to work either until I realised I was moving my hand across the screen too slowly works every time now.

I do not know how to thank you! I did not realize and was not described in the instructions that you have to touch the screen by moving the palm! I passed over it without touching it or touch the display, I could try thousands of times and still do not understand!! Thanks, thanks and thanks again!!

Yep the, "Karate chop," works for me thanks. I thought I might have lost the functionality when flashing to Omega but nope still works fine. Just do it quickly and it'll work.

In fact, I was wrong from the start! Realizing now I'm happier, but not to take the screenshot with the palm, but rather believe that my device had a manufacturing defect!

Built in Lock Screen

Maybe a dumb question, but my standard lock screen keeps switching from left/up and right/up to unlock, is their a way to specify which you prefer until some can make one of the better programs truly disable the standard lock?
Security settings - Change Lock Pattern
when the phone is locked you can do 2 things to the touchscreen
1. Unlock the phone
2. change the direction of the unlock motion by dragging the top corner of the arc towards the side of the phone you'd prefer.
Mine changed in my pocket a couple of times and I thought I was losing my mind, then I thought it must use the moton sensor to figure out which hand your holding the phone in. Eventually worked out how to change it.

I think you might have misunderstood, I do not mean the lock pattern, just the actual unlock (i.e. flick up with thumb) to unlock the device then you get to the pattern if one is set.

Dang, thanks bazzatron, this was really getting on my nerves....and such a simple thing I could not find in the manual.

[Q] Touchwiz Pan & Tilt

My Touchwiz update went fine on my stock unrooted tab. However, the new pan and tilt functionality doesn't work even though I've turned on all the settings and calibrated my tab.
Am I missing something or has anyone else experienced this?
this feature looks kind of.... stupid
For photos in the Gallery and web pages you need to put two fingers on the tablet initiate it's ability to zoom. They show holding it by the bottom corners then touching the screen with your thumbs. It works as show on mine. It can also be turned OFF in settings. Make sure its not OFF if you want to try it.
Ultimately it is a gimmick. Can't see even holding the tablet that way in normal use.

Agreed. For me, pinch to zoom works much better.
I like the ability to move an icon/widget from screen to screen while holding it down and turning tab left/right.
Much better for moving icons.

[Q] Serious multitouch issue - most obvious in games

Bear with me here, this issue is kind of hard to describe. When I am playing a game that requires touch inputs from both hands, I often get bugs. It's most obvious in games that have controller-style overlays. As is normal, I am using my left thumb to tell a character to move right or left, and then I press the button on the right to jump. However, when I release my jump, I stop running. The screen no longer recognizes that my left thumb has been pressed down the whole time and should still be moving in the direction I am pressing. This happens in Bean's Quest, Chono'n'Cash, Delver, Gunman Clive, and any other game of this nature I have tried on my device.
I played some of these games just fine on my old Evo. Is anyone experiencing this issue? I experienced it on stock as well as several custom roms I have tried.
Turn off "Htc gestures" you'll find it in settings, display & gestures!
When the display senses three finger inputs it renders it touch inputs useless...run a multi-touch test app and you'll see.

Doesn't seem to have fixed my issue, I am still having problems with some two finger games. I will be using two fingers just fine, when I remove one finger from the display the first finger is no longer recognized even though it is still touching. I have to remove the first finger and press it again every time.
Do U have any type of lock screen installed. If so uninstall. Use only stock.

Appears that widgetlocker is the culprit! Is this issue documented or known, exactly? What causes it? Thanks so much for the help. I will surely miss widgetlocker.

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
I encountered this recently
It seemed to get "stuck" after using multi touch gestures in-game. Tapping the game with two fingers often "unstuck" it, but overall it was extremely frustrating.
This was on an APK not designed for the phone, though
Sorry to bring back up an old thread (is 6 days even considered old?) anyway you HAVE to disable the HTC 3 touch setting gesture because it will ignore anything more than 2 (3 will only register if you swipe up or down, but sense itself registers it, nothing else).
Just made the video below as proof (forgive my foreign accent xD):
Our screen supports (at least) 10 different points (was going to try 11 but I could not get my nose on the screen with my fingers and my girlfriend is asleep).
EDIT: Two things, one: I had widgetlocker installed while I did the above video, it caused no problems. Two: the maximum number of inputs our phones can handle is 10, incase anyone was curious.
EDIT 2: While I don't have the issue with widgetlocker it seems that it is a known problem, but you don't have to disable the lock screen altogether. Go into widgetlocker settings> advanced> retain system key guard. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652038

Installed widget locker again. tried this, multi touch failed. Uninstalled, and back to 10.

Did you try my edit 2? The Retain System keyguard? I can assure you that I have Widgetlocker installed and I have the 10 inputs (that video was recorded with widgetlocker running).
[SOLVED!] - HTC Evo 4G LTE touch screen trouble - WidgetLocker is the problem
Retaining system keyguard in WidgetLocker worked for me! Thank you for this Racer for All. (Actually I found your YouTube video, and a link to this thread)
I was wondering why all the games I played all of a sudden stopped functioning properly (in terms of touch controls... Example: MineCraft PE, moving forward and trying to look left or right - suddenly character would stop moving.)
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I want people to know if they have WidgetLocker (and don't want to uninstall it) just go to Settings - Advanced - Retain system keyguard - zmag

[HOW TO] Increase touch sensitivity and Double-Tap-To-Wake Functionality(Force Touch)

First of all, thanks to @xtermmin for pointing me in the right direction for this.
Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:
Download Shortcut Master Lite
Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)
Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch
In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch
Here you will find some options.
Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.
Back out of the menu and you are done.
There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.
Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.
If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.
Thanks!
Awesome, T2W works better now.... Thanks
P. S. Adding your thread to my all in one place guides.

This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.
What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.
Can I remove the vibration when I use the double tap to wake?
This has made 0 difference for me. I've got a 64gb US variant. I've also noticed double tap to wake stops working when the phone is in Doze. Anyone else have this issue?
Same same with doze, but when my phone isn't deeply asleep this tip indeed increased touch sensitivity.

It's there by default on the US model, at least.
While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.

Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.

At EU version I don't see any option for vibration so far.
But totally agree I would like to be more response to a range of touch.
I remember when had LG flex 2 was better implementation than ZTE.
Hope future update improve that.

Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.
Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.
Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

weird spot on my Xperia 1 screen

Hello everyone,
Today I was checking my phone and I noticed this big oval spot at the bottom left of the screen.. It only appeared in the morning, but I never seen it before! It's like it came all of a sudden! VERY STRANGE ON AN OLED SCREEN!
it's not visible at all on a pitch black background, but only on light colors like white, gray...etc check the attached photos below !
anyone have or had same issue on their Xperia 1? and if anyone knows what caused it to appear and if its gonna be permanent or if it will disappear by the time?
Please let me know in the comments!
thanks for your contribution and help!
Since you are using the gesture mode. I believe it's something with the sideswipe rather than screen/display problem.

yes, since i got the phone which is 1 year and 3 months I've been using gesture swipe option.. do you think it's a software rather than hardware?
Yes. I think it's software.
In my phone, I sometimes see that the clicked gesture keeps showing in the back button.
I have seen it many times.
I guess it's similar to what mine was in yours too.
.... and it exactly looks like you are going back from the app or menu.
Maybe you can try using the two-finger or 3 classic types to check.
