Small yet cool feature on s3 - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My friend just got the s3 and its an awesome phone but I still prefer sense but one feature I liked was the gesture palm swipe for screen shots, you think its possible to port that feature over, its no big deal I just take a lot of screen shots and thought that was the best n quickest method lol

Unless it was very easy I don't see it happening when we have the built in ics screenshot button combo..but I agree out of all the gimmicks on the phone that is one of the cooler ones

I had the s3 and taking a screen shot was annoying for me lol

Camera Button!

Does the dedicated camera button work to snap pics? Doesn't work for me! I'm on the sense 3.5 rom but it wasn't working on stock either.

it works on stock! straight from the lockscreen too! it's supposed to. are you running third party launcher?
No, I was running sense when I was on stock...from lockscreen it would bring me to the camera app but wouldn't let me snap a pic with the camera button.

are you pressing down all the way? there is a focus click and if you press harder it snaps a picture..its a two click button..hold down lightly to focus and firm to take pic...if it's not working you need to contact HTC.
Wow that did it...I would only press down and it would focus, but I didn't know I had to hold it down because when I first tried it would just focus. Thanks for the help!

I know with my D3O case, I have to push the camera button to hard to take a pic, it messes up the pic cuz my hand is trembling lol. Same goes for my power button. I use the touch shutter button on screen now. I thought the case would break in, but its not lol

Just get a sharp xacto knife and cut out the buttons on the d30 case. I remember seeing a vid of it on youtube and it worked out pretty well.

Draw something (app)

I'm killing all my Iphone buddies at this game! Can't beat the note!
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
It needs notifications of when it's your turn; but yes, I'm able to do so much more with the S pen.
Yup, I agree with both of you.
iPhone users are puzzled on how I can draw it like that.
On the other hand, this really needs notification so bad.
I am loving this game, and the Note makes it that much more phone. I've been looking for the right app to force me to really take advantage of the s-pen, and this is it.
I've attached a couple of my drawings (button tap and hold screenshots FTW)... I'm not even a mediocre artist, but these were fun.
Damn! Your an artist!
Sent from my SGH-I717R using xda premium
Thats some pretty good drawings there.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
Lol. BOF news
I can't post my screenshots. Its giving me an error.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
For the first time today I had an issue with the game. The S pen wouldn't register on about 1/6 of the screen. I couldn't draw anything there except with my finger. Happened in two straight games. Exited and went to the s memo app and it worked fine. Anyone ever have this happen to them?

Any one want to play? Share your username!
Mine is the same as my forum handle.
Do you have the ability to find your user name if you linked via facebook ?
menu > account > edit (or create) a username
Nice , thank you ... On the way to do that .
EDIT: Slow-pc ...

Picture in picture (like sg4)

Is there an app that will allow the pic in pic like the gs4 has? Where you can input your self photo via front facing camera while taking a pic with rear camera?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah there is it's called buy an S4. Lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
To each their own but I can't see how that feature is useful. Not hating on the s4, my girl has it and it is great but when I was showing her everything it can do all she cared about was getting her dice with friends account working to continue her games. I couldnt get the gestures to work or the eye scroll thing to work. The only gimmick that is has that I like is the multi window feature. That and the whole designated menu button. I hate having to add the mod to enable a menu and get rid of that stupid three dot bar. If I wanted on screen buttons to take up more of my screen is buy a nexus phone.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't want an s4...just an app that can duplicate that one camera feature that is in fact fun to use. I handle both the One and the S4 all day at work. The feature is not worth getting the S4 over the One.

Power Button

Can I just say, this power button is nice. It feels nice. When I click I feel like... BOOM. Success. Accomplishment. Happy feeling, it feels good to click. Even being an IR transmitter. It's nice.

I was worried it was gonna be too recessed but it's fine for me. And I'm uses to my lock button being on the top since I came from an iPhone. I actually prefer it this way. A lock button on the side of the device always seemed odd to me. Even if it is perfectly positioned so you don't have to move your fingers when locking and unlocking the device . Just looks odd to me.

I hate the fact that the power button and the charger port are located at same extremes so im always plugging in my charger at the power button.

Anybody having bad photo quality?

Just wonder if my Butterfly is having camera faulty or I'm just being too picky?
The picture came out of the camera looks a lot diff then wat I see on the screen b4 the shoot. And most of the time the picture is wash out and has less contrast.

It'd probably be best to post this in the section for your phone.

Ate you using the sense camera or the aosp 4.3 one? The sense takes good picks make sure your settings say full size and make sure you took off the camera lens cover if your phone is new (a lot of people miss that lol). The 4.3 camera takes horrible pics but makes great photospheres.

Using the Sense camera, and nothing stick on the lens.
But the photo does looks wash out...

Here do this before you take the pic hold power of plus volume down or will take a screenshot then take the pic and post both in this thread so we can compare, is it in low light?
Sent from my VIPER DNA EDIT: o god just got on my pc and saw how horrendous that looks lol. What i want you to do is hold power and volume down at the same time, to take the screen shot.
Will try and get a subject to shoot and post here.
