So idk if this has been covered or not but did you guys know you can take screen shots with your s pen?

If you hold the button down while you draw a closed shape, it'll make a little "screenshot" of the things you enclosed. That's different than just holding the button and holding the pen on the screen, which I believe is what you're talking about.
 
I know right lol I had no idea til I opened my box up to finally use my headphones and decided to look at the manual and was like huhh thats interesting

I wish it would make defined circles or squares instead of the horrible tracing that I do.

Maybe I'll start working on an app to select an area defined by a shape template (basicly what you're talking about, but it'll work like MS Paint making ovals etc.) I need to unlazy anyway.

I'm not the world's greatest developer, nor am I very fast. I work a full time regular job and have a three year old daughter. If I get to it I'll be sure to let you know.
 
I normally just hold down the s-pen button an press the pen to the screen an that screenshots the entire page and then goes to image editor an you can just crop whatever you want so that it isnt a weird looking circle or whatever shape you circle.

Yea but you can't immediately send it to someone.

I've read the forum answers and watched youtube videos but when I hold the S pen on the screen I don't get a screen shot. It is unresponsive. I can perform other functions with the S pen, so it does seem to work in general. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?
