I found out that the HTC Sensation had this feature but I have yet to get it to work... can any one tell me how it is done? I have tried the power button/home button and just get the turn off option.
It doesn't.

As has been said in every other screen shot thread, HTC disabled it in the build.prop
Well I saw that the htc website said it does but it doesn't? That's wired.

Sorry I went looking for the sensation phone not the htc in general. If I root the phone could I do it? Or is the something else I could do? I see that members that make the themes are doing it.

my question about his method: do you need to do more than just fre3vo? I tried it that way & drocap2 doesn't work still. I've noticed that some of the auto-redo methods some people have made has the batch script installing other apps called Superuser, sqlite2, & busybox. What are those & are they needed for drocap2 to work?

All the screenshots made other than the lockscreen reveals lines on the screen. I've used dropcap2, android sdk, screenshotit, etc....all can screenshot the lockscreen ok but when I try to screenshot the home screen or any other screen, black lines show up on the pic across the icons and screen.

drocap2 does that on the first screenshot each time you launch the program (every time it's granted su permissions). Second screenshot should be perfectly fine. Just long press the home button to access drocap2 easily.

Two threads or so above this one has the same issue. They seem to think it's a sense issue being the sense widgets being animated.
Can you take screenshots without the lines? After the first one as you mentioned.

Thanks for suggesting the "long press" solution.
The way I had done it was using drocap2 via notification trigger.
I did have to disable SU notification setting else the "toast" or "notification bar" gets into the screen shot.
I used shake trigger for the lock screen captures since notification bar trigger won't work for that screen.
Drocap2 is getting these images whenever I take screenshots after the second and third. No changes I am still getting the lines.
I currently have use the notification bar to "take" the pic in 5 seconds. Is there something I am missing??
Are those lines on your screen when you transition from 1 screen to another? Like, does it flicker?
I have the flicker issue sometimes and either a "Force Stop" HTC Sense or use Fast Reboot app to make Sense reload.
Try drocap2 on it after that.
No it doesn't flicker or anything. And no I am not transitioning from another screen. I just tried the fast boot app and it worked slightly on the first pic but then the lines come back in the second.
Maybe it's a lwp issue? I am going to try to get a static lwp to test.
Confirmed-LWP (for me) causes lines
LWP when doing a screenshot will cause lines. I tried a different lwp and a static one.
The htc sense lwp
Static wallpaper-No lines.
Yeah, I'm getting those lines using lwp too.
Galaxy LWP doesn't show lines.

Hi All,
Which apps do you guys use for screenshots on the Sensation? Are they PC based like all the ones I've found (that don't require rooting)?
Use the android SDK
I know in the sensation and pyramid leaks that we use if you press home and power at the same time it takes one...

Hello,
I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for taking screenshots (doesn't require rooting).
Link to app for PC (Windows):
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
Link to client (install on phone):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&feature=search_result
Works great via USB, didn't try over Bluetooth or WiFi (don't need right now).
To connect Android Phone, after install on Your PC, in Options, select "Device with Google Android OS" instead of "Sony Ericsson Phone with modem interface".
To take screenshot, go to "Additional" and select "Upload screenshot". Small window will appear, where You can see what Your phone actually displays, click on "Save as..." and You're done!
This app is powerfull to sync all data with Outlook, send SMS from Your PC, install *.apk applications from Your PC, make backups and stuff...
MPE works great over Wifi, though you can only take screenshots while over USB. Beats HTC Sync since that kept duplicating my contacts.

I'm guessing that'd be the "hold power & press home" screenshot feature? the HTC support page for the Sensation actually had an FAQ on how to do screenshots for a few days & then was taken down.

Ha look at that. I guess they forgot to not post that. They also left in the documentation about voice dial even tho tmobile took it out. It's a shame they disabled the screenshot ability. if you read above, someone found that htc commented out the function in some file.

Actually it does work.... U don't need an app. The sensation has the screenshot function built in the phone. Just hold down the power button THEN hit the home key. That should take your screenshot and saved in your camera shots folder. I just took a screenshot of my phone 10mins ago. Hope this helps.

I used that app before...but it took choppy screen shots with lines going across them...and whenever I restarted my phone it reverted all the settings..I had to reconnect to the comp and redo everything...although the built in screenshot on the sensation does not have the option as the apps do...but it'll do the trick and its free lol. Can't beat that.
It does leave lines on the home screen but everywhere else, texts, apps, etc it works fine for me. If you reboot you do have to use the pc to re-enable it.

Does it do something special that an app like screenshot doesn't?
Asking seriously. I'm curious.
Well just the fact that you can take a Screenshot by pressing the power button and home at the same time is pretty cool. If that app cam do that then I'll just get the app.

I don't do screenshots that often, but the screenshot one does the trick. Push the button, gives you 5 seconds to get to the screen you want to cap... Done. There may be other options for doing an exact button combo, I haven't looked.
Like I said, I don't do them that often. Something tells me there's no shortage of apps that will fit the bill for ya, but if you do them a lot I guess I could see the appeal of the sense 3.0 deal you're talking about.

Screenshot has an option where if you keep the app running, you can shake your phone to take a screenshot... you don't even have to push buttons.
But be careful or you'll end up with a hundred screenshots.

If your talking about the line over the widget, does it go away if you remove the widget?

I've moved the widget to a different screen/removed the widget and then the line moves above the battery widget. I've rebooted, I've pulled batt, held power button 30 secs, put batt back in, turned on and still there.
EDIT: When the lines go to the battery widget the lines are on the bottom of the widget.

I would do a factory reset and see if it occurs again. If it occurs with stock widget then get a new one. If it only happens with those widgets, they wont replace it just becase a 3rd party widget is causing you problems.

So I found out instead of rebooting everytime, cuz this happens alot to me. Just go to settings,applications,manage applications,and hit all, scroll down until u find HTC sense theres 2, hit the top one and hit force stop, hit ok, then lightly or however u prefer, run ur finger over the home icon, and the lines should be gone until next time.

i think if you long hold the widget like you are going to trash it but drag it to edit you should be able to turn it off.
