I'm trying to get a snapshot using the double tap on the screen, while holding pressed the S-pen button, but It's not working
Instead of that I'm getting the Action memo pop-up
does snapshots methods change in Lollipop from Kitkat???

:p

Just select Screen right now and it will take the screen shot. Just don't write on the screen and click the check mark to save.

Yeah I think that Samsung was trying to make things easier with less options. I just swipe my palm over the screen to do a screen shot.

It's not technically a lollipop change - it's a change Samsung made between the Note 3 and Note 4. The good news is that Samsung integrated all the great new S-pen features the Note 4 has into the lollipop update for the Note 3, so now it behaves like the Note 4 (whether running 4.4.4 or 5.x).

There are now 3 ways to take a screen shot. Press and hold simultaneously the Home and Power buttons, use Screen Write in Air Command, enable the Palm Swipe feature.

I have those 3 on 4.4.2. But I seem to have extra Air Command features apart from those on the pop up dial.

I post because I also discovered today a Share option to Clipboard, which I will swear blind was not there before.
I don't know if Samsung are updating things via Galaxy Apps or sneaking in to my bedroom.

Madd, they're definitely sneaking into your bedroom to gather all your screenshots. :eek:

Those screenshot options I mentioned have always been available but before the change to the "note-4-like" s-pen features you could also take a screenshot just with the s-pen, which is what the OP was missing.

Um, ok, I won't tell you the share to clipboard feature has been there then.... :D

I don't remember a double tap to Screenshot way, maybe on Jelly Bean, but yes I can do it with the Air Command Screen Write thing, plus the palm motion if on, or I just use the old fashioned power and home that my grandaddy taught me.


I never got 4.4.4 so Samsung are screwing with our minds, well mine anyway.

Seems there are some Note 4 features to be positive about when Lollipop comes to South London later this century.

Thanks for that.
