Just received my LG V10 and loving it so far but wondering if someone can tell me how to take screenshots. Thanks.
Power and volume down at the same time, I believe.
Yes, that works. Or goto settings, display, home buttons, and set one of them for capture+. Now, on bottom of screen you can just press the square with a pen, screenshot.

Also there is that little quick help "app" that you can use and will help you discover a lot of this as well. This was my first lg and I found that little thing and helped learn some of the stuff I was used to doing on Samsung

You can also add a "capture" button to your bottom on screen buttons as well.
Like so...
You can also add capture as a toggle up top. In the drop down
Weird, I am missing that capture+ button in the home buttons menu.
Is it linked to an application?
I read somewhere that it is part of the quickmemo+ app.
Someone else was missing the button and after installing quickmemo+ it showed up. Part of the LG apps.

You have to add quickmemo to the toggles. And at some point it changed its self to capture . I had the same issue after rooting..

Had the iPhone 4s for about 6 months and had the EVO LTE for the past 3 weeks. Before my iPhone, I had the EVO 3D and EVO 4G. I found love for both phones, which is why I want to switch to the White S3. Seems like a potential great hybrid. However, there are some things I'm forseeing as a possible problem. Hopefully, there are ways around.
~When using exchange eMail, many of my eMails have pics integrated into them. My iPhone showed the pics as part of the eMail. EVO's make me download each pic as separate files. Can the S3 do it like my iPhone?
~What are the tactile buttons on the S3? I thought the one on the left was the menu button, but was told that was wrong. With that, how do you multi-task without the button and what is the button on the left?
~When playing music through my car stereo with my EVO LTE and I change songs, there is a weird digital noise blip. Anyone notice this with the S3?
~What's so horrible about TouchWiz that are sending people into Frenzy's in other threads? Personally, I think TouchWiz makes the phone look more like iOS.
~On the launch bar, is there a way to move where the apps launcher drawer is? I like it in the middle. Is that customizable?
Again, these are small things that I like, and any help is greatly appreciated

1. Not sure since I use Gmail and in the Gmail app, the attachments are on the bottom of the email and I can open them up individually.
2. Left button is the menu button. You multi task by long pressing the home physical button.
3. No sound issues whatsoever. Played great in the car.
4. To me TouchWiz is a little cartoonish but it doesn't bother me as much as others. But I think because it looks like iOS that's the reason people really hate it .
5. No way to move the apps launcher icon to the middle, but you can get a launcher if that's a big deal.

Thank you for the answers. The have prompted for two more:
~If the menu button is one of the physical buttons, does that mean that the apps are aware of this and don't allocate the bottom of the screen for it as well. That bottom 5% where it's all black, except for the menu icon that is. I feel that would be dumb
~If I do root, which I have never done before, does that interfere with updates that come out? The reason I ask is, I may want to switch dialers, where the app drawer launcher is, and a few other minor things
Again, thank you so far

Yes, they recognize it and there is no on-screen menu button.

The touch keys on either side of the physical home key are recognized throughout the entire OS, apps included.
Also you do not need to root in order to use a different Launcher [to change app launcher location).
On screen buttons have so far only been used on the Galaxy nexus, so the screen space on the S3 is purely for whatever your doing on it.
Also in case your still confused on multitasking, Holding down Home (physical middle button) brings up your running/recent apps, in which you can A: tap the one you want to go to or B: close them out by sweeping them left or right just like the notifications.
And the new touchwiz allows lock screen shortcuts now, just throwing that out there since your coming from an Evo background.

Hi guys, I got this phone yesterday and I'm freaking loving it. The first Android phone that I can actually compare to my iPhone 5. I was wondering is there any way to lower down the brightness when your taking a picture? For some odd reason every time I go into the camera app the brightness goes all the way up.

Pretty sure that's a built in "feature" that allows your viewfinder to be as accurate as possible under all lighting conditions.
If you really can't stand it, you can give Tasker a shot. I have Tasker do this for Gallery/other camera apps so that videos and pictures are more pleasing to view.
Can you elaborate more on the Tasker app? I've never used that.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
It's an app that lets you set certain conditions and when those conditions are met it will cause something else to happen that you have preset.

So I can set the brightness leven for when I open the camera app y doesn't go all the way up?

It's not a free app. You can get it on the play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
If you decide to get it, it's a very powerful tool, especially for non-rooted users. You can program anything to basically do anything. For me, I have it turn down the brightness whenever it senses that the camera is launched.

1. Hit the plus button on the bottom right
2. Hit "Application"
3. Select "Camera" from the list of applications and hit back
4. Hit "New Task"
5. Enter a task name or just hit the check mark if you don't want to name it
6. Hit the plus on the bottom
7. Hit "Display"
8. Hit "Auto Brightness"
9. Under "Set", select "Off" and hit back
10. Hit the plus on the bottom again
11. Hit "Display" again
12. Hit "Display Brightness"
13. Drag the slider to the level you want and hit back
14. Hit back again
That should be it. If you want it to turn auto brightness back on after you exit camera, just press and hold the green arrow, select "add exit task" and just do the same thing (go into display>auto brightness>on)
Weird...it didn't work for me. There must be an overriding feature in the camera code that prevents this. Let me play around with it some more.
--edit-- Anyone else got a clue? Any sort of tasker script I write, the camera will flicker for a bit, but the app will inevitably override the settings tasker applies.
Yeah just tried and like you said it doesn't work

I've just received my new G2 so I haven't yet done as much reading about it as I like but my first impressions are good However....one of my main reasons for buying this device was the 5.2 inches of hd screen real estate and how clever LG managed to cram such a large screen onto a relatively small device by using on screen navigation buttons in place of hardware buttons.
After playing with my device for a while it would appear that I cannot hide these navigation buttons (without root) so I am losing a large proportion of my screen estate
I noticed that in some streaming apps, the buttons magically disappear giving me a full screen view but this doesn't appear to be the case for all apps. Am I missing something here or is that just how it is?
It would seem a bit pointless to me creating such a beautiful large screen and not be able to utilise it properly
I am hoping that I am, indeed, missing a hidden setting or tweek somewere and am hoping that someone here will enlighten me. I will probably root if it is necessary but I would then have to forgo my skygo streaming which requires an un-rooted device :crying:
HELP!
There is unfortunately no solution to this without routing your device. I tried a lot of apps, ie button savior (which worked for giving me virtual home button and so on) and full-screen toggle which didn't work. It seems that the only solution is to root it.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
So if you hide the navigation bar, how do you expect to go home or back? If you use custom roms or xposed you can shrink it to be a lot smaller, which is the best of both worlds
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
If you read my post, you would have your answer, mate. Button savior gives you the ability to toggle home, back and menu buttons in a way similar to pie controls where you slide from one side to toggle them.

Hmm, did not read this thread. Just wanted to ask, why you think you will have to forget about that app?
Have a look on Root Cloak there are 2 active ones one from Xposed the other on Cydia Substrate. Not sure they work for your app too.
But if you decide to root it should be worth a look.

This is what I did. I used the G3 TweaksBox and set the flashlight to turn on by pressing and holding the vol up button with the screen off.
Sure doesnt. I know the play store has multiple options, but OEM originals are always better. Widgets usually function/look better as well.

I downloaded "Tiny Flashlight + LED" (free in Play store). It allows you to add a nice-looking widget to turn on and off. Very simple, works well. Has very good ratings too.
Does the V10 allow you to put a widget on the second screen? It suddenly occurred to me that if I were able to put a zooper widget there then the second screen would be only limited by my imagination...
As far as I can tell, the answer is no.
I wanted to put a flashlight widget on there, and there is no option to put widget.
There is a flashlight option there when main screen is asleep, but when you have it unlocked, its a different set of options.

Thanks for the feedback. Probably not a deal breaker for me, was just curious.
I am surprised there is a lack of customization for this screen. Coming from the note 4 edge, I was used to limited options but with a least a solid set of choices for configuration. Hopefully this will be expanded for my V10
Those hoping for root/custom roms probably have high hopes for unlimited possibilities in regards to the second screen.
I am not looking for root. But I'd like to see what if anything gets added and or changed when LG rolls out the 6.0 update for our pretty little devices. I haven't even played with mine yet its waiting for me to get home from school today. UPS hid it well I hope.

When the main screen is on there is a flashlight in the notification bar when you pull out down. Put the down arrow key in the home touch button section and you have as many steps to the flashlight as you would if you could put a widget in the second screen.

I had the G3 and LG skipped the notification flashlight in the Lollipop update. It was the first thing I checked for on the V10. I guess I'm not really picky about how it looks as long as I have the feature that doesn't require extra apps.

Agreed. The flashlight in the pulldown is very nice, and having a quick access when the screen is off (second screen) is even better. Coming from the G3 as well. Very useful.

Nope, think you misunderstand or read way too much into my comment. I of course will use the ability that is there. I'd prefer it to be available on the 2nd screen, and I don't care for the look or of the notification pulldown.
I'd say that area is the least attractive part of the whole phone. Of course, that is not going to make me not use the phone either.

It is on the second screen. When the main screen is off you slide from right to left and the flashlight widget is there. Doesn't make sense to have it also on the second screen when the main screen is on since it's in the notification pull down.
Sorry for the misinterpration.
Of all the Android skins I like LG's the best. I've had pretty much all manufacturers.
Of course I would love to have Android exactly the way Google designed it but I haven't seen any device that I like with pure Android.
