We’ve been testing Samsung Galaxy Tab for a few months, here are some practical tricks that are not covered in the very limited printed documentations inside the box. Geektechpost.com
Hotkey: Screen Capture
To make a screen capture of the device, press and hold the back button, and press the Power button once. If successful, you will hear a camera shutter sound, and the toast message of “Screen Captured. Saved as image file.”
You can find the screen capture file at the folder called ScreenCapture under the root directory, with the file name “SCYYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png”. For example, “SC20110203-040506.png” means it is captured at 4:05:06 am, on 3 February 2011.
Note: This might not work on certain apps which have designated special function on the Back button.
Hotkey: Task Explorer
By pressing and holding the Home button, you will see the eight recently used apps, as long as a Task Manager function. This is especially good to close unwanted apps on the fly.
Hotkey: Force power off
If something get unresponsive (for example you use Browser, Music player, several IMs simultaneously), and you can’t just end it by any normal mean, just press and hold the Power button for 7.5 seconds. The power will be off and you can reboot afterwards.
Save energy, save the Earth
Like every other device, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can consume a significant portion of battery even when idle. Turn them off when not in use.
How to change input method
A new user in Android handset might wonder how to change the input method (on-screen keyboard) during input.
While most users might opt to use the default Swype keyboard or Samsung keyboard, users in East Asian countries usually need to switch input method several times a day.
Tap and hold the blank field and until you see the popup menu enabling you to choose input method.
