Samsung S5 Mini (Android 5.1.1) - I can't take screenshots with keys combo, only palm swipe

A

AC Question

I've just bought a S5 Mini, and I can't take screenshots with a keys combo, the only thing that works so far is Palm Swipe.
I've tried every (obviously) holding simultaneously the Power + Home button, as well as derivatives such as with the volume buttons, etc.
I've tried to disable the Palm Swipe option (in Motions & Gestures)

Has this functionality been removed ?

The Power+Home button was simply awesome, I find palm swipe pretty dumb (it can interact with applications if not done perfectly, it can't be done with gauntlets/gloves, it's slow instead of instantly performed, etc.)

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi, no the old way still exists on Samsung phones, even in today's current devices. Just keep trying, it might be a timing issue, you need to press them both at the same time (home button / power button)
