It seems to happen rarely, but it does happen. All you need to do is press the home+power button to do a screen shot and the power button should start working properly.

I had the same problem running SHOstock ROM + Siyah. I assumed it was the ROM, but maybe I'm wrong. I have not had a problem running Stock + Siyah.
Pressing home+power fixed it for me too... Some times it took several tries to disable it.

Edit: my phone has tilt disabled, but if I face the screen down and hit the power Button, it also takes a screenshot. Is that a shortcut? Like the brightness slider for the menu bar (swiping your finger to adjust brightness left/right)
I did a hot reboot and t went away. It was annoying because I use my power button to on/off the screen (I have my screen on time set to 10 minutes)

Wow, I did not know about adjusting my brightness like that. I just tried it and... Well wow. You learn something new everyday.

Shake or Volume Wake?

Sick of mashing my power button all day. Is there a non-root method of a shake or at least volume wake/unlock? The one thing I really miss about my iPhone 4 is that one button in front that I didn't have to hunt around for.
Install a different lock screen like go lock or something similar with the volume wake option

Thanks, but that only works with Go Launcher EX... Hoping for a solution that's standalone.
Widget locker has that option
Lockbot also.
This function holds a wakelock btw. You coukd see a huge difference in battery life
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Thanks! I tried these... Lockbot just doesn't work at all on my Note. No lock functions, regardless of method. There are some complaints on the play store about this, so it might be a bugged rev.
Tried Widget Locker before and it was such a clunky mess that I deleted it. Couldn't find any shake to wake feature, but if it really does need to be a wake lock that drains the battery then it's not worth it anyway.
Maybe someday I'll switch to the an International model with home button.
Have you tried SHAKE 'N ON WIDGET, it works on mine, just gotta put the widget on HOME screen
Cm9 has volume wake built in

I used widget locker when I was on stock. Pretty sure you can disable stock lock screen under security settings.
You say it was clunky, but I never had problems with it. It did take a bit of tinkering to get it set up first time perfectly. But volume wake worked on stock Rom if I recall. It's also one of the only ones not just trying to sell ridiculous themes which is sometimes refreshing. There are huge theme that's on xda. Tesla is a good dev. Also devs one of the best launchers, nova.

Dunno, it's in a theme a buddy of mine, and moderator, zelendel is working on

[Q] Gray Arrow with minus or plus sign

I keep reading that the gray arrow with the minus or plus sign is "notifications off" but I don't see a toggle to turn it on or off. It's not in the pull down menu, even if I go right or left. Tmobile and others seem to have it, so maybe AT&T doesn't have the toggle? Where is the setting to turn it on or off?

I asked twice and no one helped. They just said it was there, look. Are people just going to ignore me?
edit: it was moved, sorry good sir, but I asked on other forums (international galaxy s 3) and they didn't say anything.
What do you see when you access the notification menu with the toggles ?

Nothing, no notifications. I think it changes when I get one, shows a + instead of a - sign. But I rebooted it and it went away. Not sure why it came up in the first place and not sure how to fix it (besides a reboot)
When I installed the chrome browser and did the login the plus thing happened to me too. And when I pulled down the notification bar I was able to click on the plus arrow and it took me to a password login area. Hope that helps bro.

I know that I get the + icon when I have a crap load of notifications (not enough room to show all icons in the status bar). Not sure about the -. Maybe it wants you to hurry up and clear some notifications?

Shutter sound?

How do you turn off the shutter sound on the camera without silencing the phone? I cannot find it in the camera app.

Verizon doesn't give us the option to turn it off. I ended up using Tasker. If you search the forums others have mentioned other fixes they have used.

Theres an option to turn the shutter sound off. Open the camera, hit menu and open the settings menu, hit the gear on the far right for more settings and its near the bottom.

Thats only there if you have a custom rom or modified camera app
If you are rooted, go to /system/csc/feature.xml and change this to true (make a copy first in case it gets messed up):
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot and it will be in the camera menu.
My bad didnt think about that. Have been running synergy since the day I got my s4. Thanks tho.

Not rooted and running the latest vzw update, if I have my ring volume off (silent mode, and vibrate only) I get no shutter sound. Only way but it works.

[Q] Power button instant lock - how to turn off?

Hi, got HAM2. Very impressed. Wish it had Qi, but aside really good.
Q: How do I turn off power button instant lock?
Android always has this option, but for some reason I can't find it in settings!
In my MT2-L05 EMUI3.0 it's in Settings/Security/Power button instantly locks.

Wow, I just tried it myself and I get the same problem. Good job, Huawei...
Ya... and I'm having a hard time finding a module. any help would be appreciated
My HAM2 doesn't have this problem. I have the Delayed Lock app from the play store which modifies the locking though. I've also frozen the hwunlock lock screen since it was interfering.

Happy to hear. Also if you want to clean up the notification, the Delayed Lock app can still run if you hide it's notification (long press on it then uncheck show notifications), it still works fine and the Notification bar is clean. Mine is set to auto lock after about 20 mins from when I turn off my screen and I also created a shortcut on my home screen to instantly lock it and turn off the screen (have to set wake to lock mode in the settings of the app). If you want to a shortcut like that you can do this in Nova Launcher (or something similar in other launchers). Long press and empty space on the homescreen. Choose shortcuts then delayed lock shortcuts then Lock now (which also turns off the screen).
HAM(2) on Bro!

How do you take a screenshot?

I've tried power button and either of the vol keys and nothing.
ok, figured it out - just use the Screen Write function using the s-pen

Or use sidebutton and volume down simultaneously. Or use the side of your hand and wipe from left to right.

The Bixby button. On top off of the volume keys.
For me the gesture works. Just hold your hand if you would shake somebody's hand. And then swipe across the screen from left to right. Works for me everytime.

Press the power button and the volume down button together for about 1 second and then release the buttons EVEN IF YOU DO NOT SEE the white flash confirming the screenshot. Only AFTER you release the buttons do you see the white flash. This works differently from previous versions of Galaxy Tabs, and it can be quite deceptive.
Of course, you can also use the S-Pen and the palm swipe action to take screenshots as mentioned in the other posts.
Same way on the Note 10+. It's hard to get used to, as holding down the volume down button and power button now brings up the power menu. I have to retrain my brain to just press them both down at the same time and release.
Its a quick press of volume down and power at same time. No need to hold them down for a 1 sec or anything..just push let go[emoji16]
