Why is screencapturing so hard?!

[dt81]

It's annoying. You can't do the palm swipe because it moves the content all over the place. The power button and volume up or down doesn't work all the time either. Ugh! Any solutions?

Is not a palm swipe, is the side of your hand, swipe it across like a scanner. Works every time.

That's what I meant. But if I try it while on fb or Instagram, it scrolls the content on the screen up and down.

A lot easier just to do the normal power and home buttons about 1 second.

Are you swiping slowly? Quickly swipe from left to right. I've never had it fail.

Do you have a screen protector on, i noticed when i put mine on the swipe capture didn't work for crap. I just use the home/power button hold down now

Good question. I don't use one.

I totally agree. I had an HTC M7 and in the quick access panel they had a screen shot button. Now that worked every time.

Now this is new to me and I'm laughing at myself here because while I don't have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, I was totally ignorant about the Palm swipe to capture app on my SGN.IV. Been using the Home and Power button. The Palm swipe works but I have to get used to it since it "turns the page" so to speak. Instead I have to swipe starting at the bottom left corner. Nevertheless, it works!

Have never been able to get the palm swipe to work on my S6E, button screenshot works fine.

I imagine its something to do with the edge screen, my wife has the note 4 and the swipe capture works flawlessly. Hope they figure it out and give us an update for it soon.
