How to take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 without using any apps?

galaxy_s5_for_dummiesTaking screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 is very simple. Everyone can do it easily.

You do not need any apps.  You do not need to root your Galaxy S5. You do not need ADB. Actually, most third-party screenshot (screen capture) apps need a rooted Galaxy S5.

There are at least two methods to take screenshot on Galaxy S5. In this guide, I will show you both of them.

Taking screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 method 1: Power button + Home button

The first method to take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 is to use the power button and the home button.

You need press and hold the two buttons (Power + Home)  simultaneously until you hear the camera shutter sound.  

Once the  screenshot is taken successfully, you will get visual confirmation near the border of the screen. A notification will also be created and  you can then directly check the screenshot by tap the notification.

You can access the screenshot from the Gallery app in Galaxy S5. All screenshots are sorted under Screenshots album in Galaxy S5.

The default location of screenshots is in the folder of  pictures/Screenshots  in the internal storage. So you can copy these PNG files to your PC directly if you want.

The most common problems with this method is timing. You need press and tap the two buttons almost simultaneously.

Because both buttons are assigned to other functions if pressed independently, if you press the buttons one by one, you will get different results:

  • Press and hold Power button too early (in other words, press Home button too late).  You will see the device options for you to restart Galaxy S5, enter airplane mode, power off, or silence your Galaxy S5.
  • Press and hold Home button too early (in other words, press Power button too late). You will  launch Google search or S voice.

To take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 with this method, you need some practice. But once you get used to this method, it is blazingly fast (and simple).

One secret of using this method to take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5,  you can press and hold power button “slightly” earlier than pressing the Home button. The power button does wait a bit longer than Home button when being pressed.

Taking screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 method 2: Swipe your palm

The second method to take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 is swiping your palm over the screen as shown below.

How to take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 without using any apps?

Place the side of your hand on the screen and sweep it across the screen from the right to the left  to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5. You can also sweep from left to right if you want.

The screenshot taken is also saved in the Screeshots album (folder).

If you find you cannot take screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5,  you may check whether this setting is turned on at: Settings–Motions and Gestures–Palm swipe to capture. Dragging the switch to right to turn it on.

The two method of taking screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 are applicable to most other Samsung Android phones. So if you have other Samsung Android phones, you can try these methods to take screenshot next time. It should work.

If you have any questions on capturing screen on Samsung Galaxy S5, please let us know in the comment box below.

      No, it’s always saved in the specific folder. You can always use MyFiles or any other file browsers to move them.

    This is driving me batty. I have the settings correct but can’t get this to work. I probably look like a fool swiping over & over. I have the Otterbox Commuter. Could it be because of the height/depth of the case interfering with your ability to swipe all the way across without hitting the edges? Maybe I’m grasping at straws but thought I’d ask… Lol

    Correction… Otterbox Defender with built-in screen protector.. Perhaps the screen protector is the issue?

    • simon says

      May 22, 2014 at 9:24 am

      You need enable the palm motion and your palm need touch the screen. Screen protector usually is not an issue.

      Anyway, power + home should be easier.

      No settings needed for this method of taking screenshot.

      The timing is important. You either hold home button too early or hold power button too early. Just practice until you get it. You can tap and hold power button slightly earlier. But never home button.

    I finally got mine to work by starting almost flat with the side of my Palm inside the edge of the case, touching the screen. Then I dragged my hand across, but instead of my Palm parallel like the tutorial shows (pinkie & side of Palm touching screen), I did more of a sweeping motion to where my hand was pretty much facing down.

    How do I stop my S5 from taking unwanted screenshots while in my purse? I put my cell on the “sleep” screen (where its all black) and throw it in my purse. Later on- theres 22 screenshots I did not intentionally take. Is there a way to disable the screenshot function as I don’t want/ need it.

      June 20, 2014 at 1:18 am

      You should set the lock screen. Otherwise, other functions may be activated accidently.

      Go to settings – lock screen. Change it from now to swipe.

      By the way, the first screenshot taking method cannot be deactivated.

      very likely, as the messages stated that the size of the image is too large for MMS. You can use some photo editing apps to reduce the size.

      The screenshot actually is always saved to screenshot folder under pictures in the internal storage.

      Sometimes people want to edit it before saving the screenshot. In this case, it’s “copied” to the photo editor. This is probably the origin of the notification.

      Anyway, in s5, you can interpret the notification as screenshot saved.

      Depending on what you get, you can slightly adjust your sequence of pressing the two keys. Normally, you can press and hold power button slightly earlier.

      If you need take a lot of screenshot, you can take them from the pc. You can try the sidesync app.

      You can also use the android sdk to take screenshot on your pc.

          Screenshot is just a normal picture. Nothing special. But you may check the size of the image file.

    I like to use 2nd method – swipe the screen..but my problem is the screen keep moving when I swipe my palm..so I barely shot the part that I want..can help me how to make the screen static before I swipe?
    Plus, will the home button get any effect (such as be less sensitive for finger scanner) if we always push the home button?
    Thank you in advance 🙂

      It needs patience. You may turn off air view and air gesture.

    How do u take a screenshot of a video that’s playing on the S5? On my old phone, S2, there was a camera button you can press while the video was playing for fast capturing. The S5 does not have this feature and doing method 1 and 2 would take too much time.

      For copyright concerns, Samsung removed the screenshot feature from video player.

      You may download video editor to extract any frames of the video.

          You play the video in video player, then tap the menu key (3 vertical dots), tap edit–video editor. You can take screenshot when you are in video editor as in normal apps.

          If you need extract a lot of frames, you can copy the the video file to a PC, then use VLC player to extract frames.

    Okay, I’ve tried many times to screen shot with the buttons, but no matter what it won’t work. I’m pressing them at the same time, I’m holding the power then clicking the other, and it just won’t work. I tried turning the swipe on and off, it’s working fine, but not the clicking.
