S4 Screenshot problems..click click click while talking??

[wifflemaniac]

Since last night whenever I'm on a call I keep hearing the shutter click and screenshots are being taken and saved to my clipboard, Don't know how I turned this on and how to turn off. Help?

How are you holding the phone? It's possible that, unintentionally, you're either (1) holding down the power button (maybe with your thumb) while tapping the Home key (with your chin??); or (2) moving the phone across your face in a way that takes a screenshot if you have Settings > My device > Motions and gestures > Palm motion > Capture screen turned on.

Your face is performing the screen shot gesture...

Go to Settings, My Device, Motion & Gestures, Palm Motion, and make sure Palm swipe to Capture is off.

^^^ Thank you. Not sure how I turned it on but it was on! Off now and thanks again

Most people have a hard time performing the screen shot gesture. Your face must be built just right to make it happen so often. Good to know for when you actually need a screen shot.

+1. Perhaps post on Craigslist to offer your face to people who can't get their phones to take a screenshot.
