tried on the xda App for android,with the search "galaxy s screen shot" nothing helpful.
maybe you could link the post (if its so easy to find) rather then putting a very un-friendly/helpful post.

Back only goes back if you touch it without holding your finger on it.

Why say this? He is not asking how, just if anyone else uses it?
A forum administrator will advise the poster if their post is not appropriate and delete it or move it.

Yeah. There is an option. I think you slide the menu out on the right, select flash, and then pick no flash. It is something close to that.

Each time you tap the flash icon it cycles through on, auto and off.

I have already install "dialer one" but there is nothing choice.
please help
Click on the middle button to open up all your application list and click and hold the app you want to add. Then drag it to the quick button you want to use. It works the same way you would drag apps to your home screen.

Built in Screen Capture!

My appoligies if this has been posted already, i did search.
I just discovered that if you press 'home' and 'power' together the phone takes an instant screen capture like the iPhone does. No need for root or 3rd party apps!
Hope this helps someone

Great. Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know that before.
check out the "Motion" option in settings, some fun stuff in there too
we've got some good stuff going here! i might turn this thread into an 'easter eggs' and tricks & tips thread!
check out the features thread laying around here. You all will find something out new.

The search capacitive key

....is possibly the most useless button ever. I don't think I have ever used it since owning the Vibrant..
tis true.

Did you know you can do that ...?

i assigned it to open my go sms pro app lololo
CM7
i use it a lot as shortcut to search specific words in texts or a music in my music list... hehe
I never use it on the home screen.
I use it all the time in Market.
I always remap it to camera. I use an app called button remapper from market.

I use it all the time. It's the quickest way to pull up a contact or even an app.
(I've turned off the web search so it's fast)
I know you can "dial" a contact name in the dialer, but it doesn't tell you which number is mobile, work, etc so it's pointless.
I also use this TONS! It allows me to remove the google search widget, and I use it for voice search all the time.

This. I use it in apps quite a bit, and it has solved many arguments with a touch of extra urgency.

Yes only works on froyo.

Like Alex pointed out, you can remap it...
that said, I am going to argue if you don't use it, you just are doing it wrong... the search button saves me a lot of time. There is a reason it's the 4th button, of 4 though.
Samsung got the 4 buttons in the right order, in my opinion.
I am right handed though.

No matter what order it was in, you'd get used to it now or later...
I basically use the search for in-app searches like in the market etc.

Is there a way for the volume button to wake the tablet just like the power button?

I have fix the power button twice , and I know that is about to give up on me. don't have warranty and i am out of the sates so sending it to asus is not an option this time.
Is there a way I can wake the tablet by long pressing the volume button ? I do have some coding skills if there is a how to, maybe I can work on this.
found this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 searching i will give it a try.

Hi, thank you very much for sharing those two apps. However, I can't seem to figure out how to use the free one. I activate it but once my tablet goes off I can't turn it back on with the volume keys. I've searched for a help file or instructions but the app doesn't even have a GUI. I'm unrooted and on stock ROM.

There is no GUI for the free app. just a pop up indicating that's been activated . some times you have to press twice the volume to turn it on.
I am rooted and still in CleanRom 4.1 .
.
Ok. I'll try when I get home. The power button on this tablet is pretty badly designed. :/
