How to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4?

Galaxy Note 4 How-To Guides


How to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4?


When you want to show  someone remotely the Galaxy Note 4 screen, e.g., the achievement in a game, booking proofs, ordering info, some key information on a website, location in the Google Map, a Galaxy Note 4 screenshot is the most simple way to deliver such info.
But how to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4?
Luckily, there are many different methods to take screenshot on Galaxy Note 4.
In this guide, I will show you 3 different methods of taking a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 without using any apps, or connecting to other devices. In other words, you can take a  screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 directly. No apps, or connections are involved.

Method 1: Take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 with Home and Power button

In the early days,  most Android phones had a hardware home button. The Home button and power button combination is usually for screenshot.
Samsung is a few Android manufactures who refuse to bury hardware home button. So, you can have a simple way to take  a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4.
On any screen, press and hold power button and Home button simultaneously to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4.
In the reality, it is hard to press and hold two buttons simultaneously. So this may cause one of the two problems:
  1. Galaxy Note 4 exits current app and return to home screen. This means you press Home button too early.
  2. Galaxy Note 4 shows power options (restart the phone, shutdown the phone..). This means you press Power button too early.
The secret of successfully taking a  screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 is to press and hold the power button “slightly” earlier.
There is a reason for this secret. Home button will response normally within 100ms (about 0.1s) once pressed. But power button only responses usually after 500ms (0.5s).
Using Home button  and Power button to take a screenshot works not only on Galaxy Note 4, but also on almost all Galaxy devices from Samsung.

Method 2:  Take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 by swiping your palm over the screen

The second method of taking a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 may require patience. But it is fun.
You can simply swipe your palm over the Galaxy Note 4 screen as shown below to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4.
take-a-screenshot-on-galaxy-note_4-swiping-palm
By default, this feature is turned on. But you may accidentally turned it off if you find this method is not working.
You can enable this feature by following these steps:
Step 1: Go to settings –Motions and gestures.
Step 2: Tap Palm swipe to capture if it is off.
Step 3: Turn it on by drag the switch to right until the color is green.

take-a-screenshot-on-galaxy-note_4_crop_enable-palm-swipe-settings
Again, this palm swiping method of  taking a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 also works on most other Samsung Galaxy devices.

Method 3:  Take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 with S your S Pen using Screen Write (air command)

In old Galaxy Note devcies (Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 8.0, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and Galaxy Note Pro), you can take a screenshot by  holding the S Pen button, then tapping and holding the S Pen on the screen.
But this S Pen method does NOT work for Galaxy Note 4, due to the new smart select feature in Galaxy Note 4.
Then, can I take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 with the S Pen?
Yes, you still can use S Pen to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4.  But now you need use one of the four air commands in Galaxy Note 4screen write.
Air command will be launched  when the S Pen  is removed from the slot, or when the S Pen is hovering over any part of the screen with S Pen button pressed.
In the four options of air command, tap screen write to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4.
Once the screenshot is taken, you will be offered the options to edit, share, and save the screenshot, as shown below. Tap the check symbol to save the screenshot.
Please note, when screen write is used to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4, the editing option is always provided and the screenshot is NOT saved until you tap the check symbol.  This behavior is different from the previous 2 methods.
take-a-screenshot-on-galaxy-note_4_using-screen-write-air-commandtake-a-screenshot-on-galaxy-note_4_using-screen-write-air-command-edit
Screen write was introduced in Galaxy Note 3. So this method also works on Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and Galaxy Note Pro.

Are there any other methods to take a screenshot on Galaxy Note 4?

Yes, there are some other methods to take a screenshot for Galaxy Note 4.
One of the most common method for all Android devices is throughAndroid debug monitor.  But this required enable some developers options and USB connection with the PC.

how_to_turn_off_on_touch_key_light_on_Galaxy_Note_4


You can turn on/off touch key light on Galaxy Note 4


Similar to all previous Galaxy Note and Galaxy S phones, Galaxy Note 4 has 2 capacitive touch keys in each side of the home button.
The touch key in the right side of the home button is a return key or back key. The left one is called recent apps key showing the recently opened apps.
By default, when you touch either of the two touch keys, both of them will be illuminated. This can be embarrassing when you try to reply an urgent message in a  cinema.
In daytime, you seldom need the light to guide you.
Of course, lighting the touch keys may consume considerable battery  and therefore it may drain your battery noticeably if the duration of  illumination is too long.
In Galaxy Note 4, you now can turn on and turn off the touch key light to save battery.
This guide will show you how to turn on/off the touch key light, how to set the duration of the lighting, and how to access the new touch key light settings in Galaxy Note 4

How to turn on/off touch key light on Galaxy Note 4?

In Galaxy Note 4, the switch for turning on/off the touch key light and the settings for the duration is under Settings—Display and Wallpaper.
You can go to Settings, tap Display and wallpaper.
Tap Touch key light duration.  Then you have 4 options (same as other Galaxy devices):
  1. 1.5 seconds.  This means touch key light is on and the light goes off after 1.5 seconds.  This is the default setting.
  2. 6 seconds.
  3. Always off. This option essentially turn off touch key light. The touch key will never be illuminated. This setting will not be overwritten by any other settings.
  4. Always on.  This option turns on the touch key light permanently.  It is NOT recommended for most owners.
turn_off_on_touch_key_light_on_Galaxy_Note_4_settings_displayturn_off_on_touch_key_light_on_Galaxy_Note_4_touch_key_light_duration

I  didn’t turn off the touch key light, but neither of the keys are illuminated on Galaxy Note 4. Why?

Among the 4 options mentioned above, in the old Galaxy devices, none of them can be overwritten by other settings.
In Galaxy Note 4, however,  options 1,2 and 4 can be overwritten by power saving mode.
So, this explains why your touch key light is off even your setting is on.
You can tune this settings at Settings–Power saving.
In Power saving page, tap Power saving mode.
Tap Restrict performance.
Now you can un-check Turn off touch key light (it is checked by default). This will turn on touch key light when power saving mode is enabled.
Of course, you can turn off restrict performance totally.

Buyer's Checklist for Inspecting Used Cars

Buyer's Checklist for Inspecting Used Cars





The inspection is one of the most important aspects of the car buying experience. The initial inspection gives the potential buyer the opportunity to check both the interior and exterior for problems such as rust, a faulty sound system, or mechanical issues. Although a buyer's personal inspection isn't a substitute for a thorough inspection by a professional mechanic, it is an essential step when purchasing used cars. Before investing in a used vehicle, follow this checklist for inspecting used cars.

Examining the Exterior

Before you actually get into the vehicle for a test drive, it's best first to examine the exterior for any defects. While minor cosmetic flaws such as small scratches or dents often remain unnoticeable, other blemishes like rust can spread when exposed to air and moisture long-term. When examining the exterior, check for the following problems:

- Cracks in the windshield or windows
- Mismatched body panel colors
- Improper alignment where the trunk and hood close
- Improper alignment where the fenders and doors meet
- Faulty windshield wipers
- Faulty headlights and signal lights

Inspecting the Interior

The interior of the vehicle is equally as important as the exterior, as you'll want to be able to drive comfortably. When inspecting the interior, check for cosmetic flaws like torn or aged upholstery, faulty instruments and controls, and odd odors that could indicate the presence of mold or mildew. The following defects should also be looked for:

- Problems with opening and closing doors
- Problems with opening and closing the trunk
- Non-working gauges/stereo/heater/air conditioner
- Lit warning lights on the dashboard
- Faulty seatbelts
- Faulty power windows/sunroof
- Non-working alarm (if applicable)

Checking the Brakes and Steering

Brakes are a critical safety feature in all vehicles and should be in good working condition. Common signs that indicate the need for new brakes include squeaks, squeals, grinding, and other noises. You'll also want to ensure that the steering wheel steers to either side easily. Here are some common problems to look for:

- Pulling of the vehicle to one side when applying the brakes
- Issues when trying to engage or disengage the parking brake
- Shaking or vibrating
- Resistance in the steering wheel while attempting to turn
- Clunking or clicking sound while turning

Taking the Car for a Test Drive

Driving a used vehicle is essential to ensure that the car is running smoothly and is mechanically sound. During the test drive, be sure to follow all precautions that you normally would such as adjusting the seat and mirrors and fastening your seatbelt. You'll also want to check for the following problems:

- Difficultly starting the vehicle
- Trouble shifting gears (if manual transmission)
- Poor acceleration
- Difficultly maneuvering during lane changes

Unless you have prior experience, you may not know what to look for when checking the frame, transmission, and other more complicated components of the car. It's best to have the car inspected by a professional mechanic before purchasing to ensure that the vehicle is in good working condition. Be sure to perform an inspection always before purchasing used cars for your own safety and the safety of your passengers.

Donating Used Cars Is Not As Straightforward As It Used To Be

Donating Used Cars Is Not As Straightforward As It Used To Be





Many people have a thorough understanding of how to sell or trade used cars, even if they have never done so themselves. However, the process of donating a vehicle to charity is mostly unknown to most of us. There are many common misunderstandings about the process, which will be cleared up below.

The Truth About Tax Breaks

All over television, billboards, and even on the Internet, there are ads stating that if you donate your used cars to charity, you will receive a tax break. Even though this is technically true, these tax breaks are much smaller than they were in years past. Unfortunately, this is because some people took advantage of the system.

Up until recently, the process was quite easy and straightforward. Taxpayers simply claimed the fair market value of the vehicle on their tax forms. This was easily determined by auto valuation services such as Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds. As a result, many people just donated their used cars to the closest non-profit and simply claimed the applicable tax break.

Then some taxpayers began to claim that their auto donation was worth more than the actual value, so the government was forced to enact strict rules regarding the amounts you could claim subsequent to vehicle donation. Everything now depends on how the charity intends to use the vehicle, which puts taxpayers in an awkward situation. They do not know the exact size of their pending tax deduction at the time that their used cars are donated.

The IRS has a $500 deduction threshold for vehicular gifts. If the auto is valued higher than that, it is valued at the price that the charity eventually sells it for. If the charity decides to use it prior to selling it, you may be entitled to a deduction equal to the full value of the auto if the charity provides you with documentation regarding the sales price and how it was used prior to the sale.

Finding An Appropriate Charity

It is crucial to research your chosen charity before you drop off any used cars. Though there are many philanthropic groups that will gladly accept your donation, only those that are tax-qualified will result in income tax breaks. There are many groups that perform valuable work in the community, but they are not approved charitable organizations in accordance with IRS rules. There are also many con artists around that will take advantage of your good intentions, so always verify that your chosen non-profit is legitimate and reputable.

So, is donating your old automobile the right option for you? Donating a vehicle is a noble undertaking. Though you expect a tax break in the end, you are still doing your part to help your community. Not only will it save you a few bucks at the end of the year, but it will also provide you with a sense of pride, knowing that you did something to help your neighbors and friends in your area.

Five Reasons To Buy Used Cars Now

Five Reasons To Buy Used Cars Now





For obvious reasons, pre-owned autos have always been less expensive than brand new ones. As such, they were far more popular with cash-strapped consumers during the Great Recession. However, as demand rose faster than supply during those years, the price of used cars reached an all-time high. Between 2007 and 2013, the cost of the average, secondhand ride surged by 18 percent. That trend continued in 2014, with an increase of 5.1 percent. But now, after seven consecutive years of growth, many experts believe prices will soon fall back down. Here's why.

Improving Economy

When people have money in their pockets, they are far more likely to purchase big-ticket items like cars and homes. With unemployment falling and wages rising (albeit marginally), consumers should invest in new autos at a disproportionate rate. The subsequent decline in demand for used vehicles should lead to lower prices.

Rising Inventory

One of the ways Americans saved during the economic downturn was to lease vehicles rather than buy them. According to industry insiders, a whopping 3.2 million new autos were leased from 2009. Many of these now-secondhand cars and trucks are coming back to dealerships. As a result, sellers should have huge inventories of late model vehicles. Now, even if demand were rising, the increased supply would most likely stabilize prices. However, with the expectation of a fall in demand, perhaps precipitously, costs could come crashing back to earth.

Better Quality

When you lease a vehicle, you must return it to the dealership in excellent condition. That is why most leased cars are in better shaped than those that are owned. With millions of these gently used automobiles returning to sellers in the coming years, the overall quality of the pre-owned fleet will improve.

Younger Fleet

There was a time, not so long ago, when most used car lots offered the dregs of the automotive industry. We're talking about clunkers so past their prime they probably belonged in junkyard. Times have changed! Because of leasing and better longevity, most sellers offer an appealing mix of nearly new and gently used cars. We should also mention that many dealerships now offer certified, pre-owned automobiles. These vehicles are thoroughly tested and inspected before they're put up for sale. They even come complete with extended warranties from their manufacturers.

Accurate Pricing

Before the advent of the Internet, it was almost impossible to price pre-owned autos; even the dealers weren't sure what they should charge. Today, there are dozens of websites that collect sales information from countless sellers across the country. This data is then used to calculate the average sales price for every make and model vehicle on the road. The prospective buyer just has to search for secondhand autos by zip code to find out what they're going for in his backyard. As you might expect, having access to this vital information makes it easier than ever to negotiate over price.

For all of these reasons and more, now is a great time to buy used cars in America.

Tips for Negotiating With Car Dealers

Tips for Negotiating With Car Dealers





Negotiating with car dealers can be a daunting and intimidating task; however, if you want to get the best deal possible on your new ride you should know some negotiation basics. This article features six helpful tips for getting a good price.

Know your limit

You should already know your highest offer before you visit any car dealers, and once negotiations reach your limit, don't budge. If the dealer can meet your price, they'll sell to you. Don't be offended if your offer is turned down. It's nothing personal, salesmen also set limits during a negotiation and their goal is to turn a profit. If you're unsuccessful at one dealership, simply move on to another.

Negotiate selling price, not monthly payments

While you'll probably end up financing your vehicle, make sure you negotiate in terms of its overall price. You need to know exactly how much expense you're committing to, despite how much nicer those monthly costs sound. When your salesman asks you about your budget for monthly payments, just indicate that you prefer to negotiate the selling price. Focusing on total costs will actually help land lower payments.

Focus on dealer cost and negotiate up

The dealer's cost, also known as the invoice price on new cars and the wholesale price on used cars, is the amount referring to the car's worth. You can get a good dealer cost estimate for your vehicle if you do a little research. The dealership has to make a profit, so expect the listed price to be higher than your estimate. Your first offer should be your lowest and you should work negotiations up from there. Working numbers up instead of down allows you to hit the dealer's lowest possible price.

Wait for a counter offer

Before raising your bid always wait until salesman gives a counter offer. If your salesman says, "I can't do that" to your first offer don't jump straight into your next offer. You should wait until you hear the dealer throw out his own first offer, and then begin raising your bid.

Raise in $100-$200 increments

Start your bid low and try and keep it that way. Make the salesperson lower their price to meet yours. At the end if the day, dealerships want to get rid of cars and needs to make a profit, so if you place your bid just above dealer cost and raise it small $100-$200 increments, you'll more than likely get your car at the right price.

Keep calm

It's very important that you stay calm and assert confidence when negotiating. Yes, there is a lot of money being discussed and the situation can be stressful, but salesmen notice when you're anxious and can take control of the negotiation. Keep in mind, you're the one with the cash. You're the customer and you can take your business anywhere.

Before you begin negotiating, you're going to need to find a dealership and shop brands and styles to select your ride. Take your time with both of these decisions. Visit multiple car dealers before choosing one, and research options and prices ahead of time. You should never negotiate blindly. Remember, prepare yourself and stay within your budget.

How to Bargain With an Auto Dealer

How to Bargain With an Auto Dealer






You've made the decision to buy a new or used car, awesome! What's next? You'll need to find a car that fits your needs and budget. Often times at dealerships, looks can be deceiving. The sticker says one amount, but auto dealers may have a different price in mind. Just because the window has a figure on it, doesn't mean that's what you should pay. Here's some things to keep in mind when you're heading out to car shop.

Do your research. It's the most important step when making such a large investment. You'll want to research the safety and fuel efficiency ratings. Has the vehicle won any awards or had a recall? Will this car require a lot of maintenance? What is included in the manufacturer's warranty? Already have a make and model in mind? Find out what was the best year for that make and, if you're buying used, make a list of things to check on the vehicle.

After you do your own research, if you still aren't comfortable with so much information, bring a knowledgeable friend or family member. Bringing a friend can provide necessary support and expertise. Knowledge is power and, in this case, a coupon on a big ticket item.

Go in with a budget. Always know just how much you're willing to part with and stick to your guns. You're the customer, so they should have to work for your money, not the other way around. If the auto dealer can't reach your budget, then take a step back and give yourself some time to think it over. A car is a commitment and you need to be certain you're ready and getting the best possible deal while getting the car that's the best fit.

For used cars, check a price comparison site to see what is the fair market price. Keep that information with you. The auto dealer will work with you because you're both aiming at a common goal: both of you want to see you drive away in a new automobile.

Another thing to keep in mind is what features come with the car. Features can cause a significant difference in price, but what features are important to you? If you want to, it may be helpful to carry along your personal notes. It's always better to have the information on hand than to forget and lose money that could be saved.

Know the best days to buy a car. Sometimes it's hard to wait, especially when our jobs may take us far from home, but do some searching to decipher the best sales. You might be able to get more for your clunker by trading it in at a different time of year. Buying a car when it's fresh off the line is tempting, but waiting can be worth the savings!

Overall, the best advice is to stay informed, do as much digging as you can on the car you want, visit more than one auto dealer, and have your set price in mind. Know your goals, know your car, and know that when you drive away, it was the best deal for the car you wanted.

These products are used constantly; all having and meeting the same purpose, public safety. The light and sound systems used by the police and other first responders are a type of safety equipment.

Public safety radio and speakers

All through the hours of an emergency or patrolling, the police are largely dependent on their vehicle's flashing lights, emergency radio systems, sirens, and speakers. These devices are made to comply with and act perfectly during their emergency operations.

Though these devices are often left un-maintained, neglected, and taken for granted, but they indeed are an important utility that should be taken well care of. If these systems would not work properly, first responders and those they serve could be imperiled.

The manufacturers of public safety equipment incorporate unique features that ensure these perform their duties robustly, during the emergency hours.

Power backup - The first blueprint of public safety radio, which are nowadays installed in police vehicles, did not have any provision for power backup. Additionally, it would consume a large amount of energy, which used to affect the operations of the vehicle.

The safety radios and speakers of today come with smart design, which does not consume high levels of power and keeps them on for longer duration of time.

Water resistance - Lighting systems on vehicles are an electronic utility, and just like any other electronic device, they too can get affected with the water, moist and rainy weather conditions. To ensure the safety of lights, speakers and radio systems of the police vehicle, it is a must for them to be water resistant. They are assembled in casings that are watertight.

The feature of water tightness gives them a shield against the moisture occurring due to weather-borne conditions. On vehicles, the water tightness of the lights will have a chief role in the success of police operations, especially during night hours.

Frequent maintenance - Last but not the least, the lights, radio systems, alarms, sirens, and speakers should be properly and routinely checked, and adequate measures should be taken to keep them working and in well-maintained condition. Though the systems of the present generation are usually water-resistant, yet that does not imply that they will be working perfectly well in moist surroundings. They need to be check at frequent intervals, and as some discrepancy is experienced in their operations, they should be sent for service and repair.


Public safety equipment plays a key role in maintaining the safety of people, without any violence such as police sirens, speakers and lights. The article discusses some important points that you should know about these systems.
