Hi, maybe try this disabling the snapshot by : Edit your build.prop file in /sytem and change: From true to ---->
ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false
if still no fix... flash another rom
Hope I helped you
This seems to be a very frequent problem in some of the newer roms. I believe the screen shot should occur if you hold the power and home button together however the phone thinks the power button is pressed at times and so takes a screen shot when you press home. Try holding the power and home button and taking a few screen shots and it should stop it from taking a screen shot with just home button for a while. If not then change the rom. I haven't used the particular rom you're using so I'm not sure if it here is a option to turn off the screen shot. I would suggest trying coredroid...love the rom and you can turn off the screen shot feature if it starts to act up..

Is there a way to take screen shots on gingerbread with out an app? Or the sdk way? Like maybe a script or something? I know it's sorta possible on gingerbread. Like on some manufacturer themes like touchwiz 4 and lgs one. But touchwiz 3 on galaxy s doesn't so is there a way?

Hi Dude,
try HOME + BACK it should work.
first keep pressing back button and then press home. it will work.
cheers,
You can use the SDK + Eclipse (ADT plugin) to make screenshots from your computer.
That HOME + BACK button combo worked great to capture screenshots on my Gingerbread 2.3.3 SGS.
Cheers!

So I came across this in the EVO 3D forums. How hard do you think it will be to port this to our device?

It is in development already. See bricked kernel thread for more info.

Anyway to enable this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269247
And gnex has it
Both Bricked and TamCore have this feature.
Bricked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269247
TamCore: http://files.tamcore.eu/android/?dir=tamcore-kernel
Bricked gives you an option to enable it during installation, while TamCore requires you to flash a zip to enable it, which you can get on the same page, under the name "sweep2wake_enable.zip".
A few kernels already have it.
I am already using it... :angel:
Already using it on bricked!
It's nice because you don't have to constantly use your power button to turn on device ! I really love it! It's so easy.

Is there any way to make it more efficient when locking the device? I find that it closes the current application and goes to the home screen (as you swipe the back and home keys when locking your device).
This is quite annoying when using an app like gmote when I may need to immediately unlock my phone again to pause/play adjust volume etc, as I find that the app has been terminated when putting the device to sleep.
I really like the idea of not having to mash my power button any more than necessary, so using the sweep to lock would be ideal. I also noticed that even in the demo video of sweep to wake, the menu button gets pressed as the phone is locked (you can see the launcher menu appear for a second before the device locks).
Any suggestions would be appreciated, but I wanted to get some guidance before posting any sort of feature requests in the dev forum.
Thanks guys!

Sometimes it will pull up the power window, it will go back, back out of an app...instead of posting here...post in show-p threads.
It's a good feature, the bricked & faux kernels have it as far as I know!

Skip pressing the back button, just sweep above the back button like that: __--_ (while locking)

Brilliant idea! This actually works as desired, and it doesn't seem to activate the home button in the sweep/swipe either. Now I just need to get in the habit of skipping the back key.

There's a thanks button.
However, I don't see how this is practical much. I only lock using sweep because it's a good shortcut to exit current app, go to home & luck.
Okay so im having a little project to get rid of using power button, cuz mine is really "soft" and i believe someday it will stop responding...
Im currently using few apps&tricks:
Turning off screen:
Screen Off & Lock
Turning on the screen:
Volume key wake
or as in most roms now, its enable-able in settings/tweaks
Rebooting, entering recovery or bootloader:
Quick Boot (Reboot)
And recovery:
4EXT Recovery Touch
Im currently running cm7mod rom and i am trying to find a code or good replacement to open "cm7 power button menu or advanced boot menu" if its called that, to open from shortcut or different key then long press power button. And another one for now is taking a screen shot from different combo then "power button+home" I know there is some apps to take screenshots but i would prefer to edit some files myself to make it happen.
Hope this helps somebody with same issues and maybe someone can give me some pointers!
PEACE
Thanks for the tips.
I'm sure this will come in handy for people who're wearing out their power button (like me!!)

Hey, thanks for that video. Makes for an interesting party trick!!
But the problem with this is phone unlocking inside your pocket, and secondly, continuous polling of the proximity sensor is going to gobble your battery up pretty fast. But i'll have to try it out for atleast a day to support that theory.
Thanks for the info anyway.
Did anyone try to use warranty because of the power button? mine is going softer every week...

Good news coming for your project in the next couple of days. Need some finetuning, but it's looking promising.
You won't be able to simply edit stuff to make it work on other roms, but Reaper will have it.

Yummy, more mischief from the chef!!
I've always used Screen off apps on all my devices !
Even since the days of WinMo there was such app
One of the first apps I install on my phone when I load a New ROM is screen off and lock
I don't need the volume wake though - that would just wear out the volume buttons when I already use it for music control
I say they are undocumented because I have not found any reference to them in the sensation user manual or on any of several android forums. All these were found and documented using ICS 4.03 so I don't know it they work on other versions, but it won't hurt to try.
The first is "Safe Mode" this is like safe mode on a windows PC. It loads the OS without loading any low level apps and allows one to load apps one at a time to see which is causing a problem.
Power off -> power on -> when the htc logo appears hold the volume down key down until the device completely boots. There will be a "Safe Mode" notification in the lower left of the screen.
The second is power on without touching the power on button. With the screen off touch the home screen icon and swipe to the search icon - and voila the screen comes on.
The Third is taking a screenshot in a new way. The normal method of taking a screenshot is to depress the power button then hit the home screen icon. The hidden function is to tap the search icon and swipe to the home screen icon - and voila a new screenshot.
Nope, what ROM/Kernel are you running?
I'm pretty sure the last two swipe features are not things that are present in a stock ROM, as they are features in a custom ROM.

If the OP's signature is up to date, then they are running the stock ROM. Notice the quote below.

This is kernel function, sleep2awake to be more precise.
I have a stock XE non rooted on v4.0.4. I tried the swipe functions and they don't work, would be cool though.
In UK on 3
You can press both power button and volume down button for a screenshot too.
Since no one else can duplicate those I guess they are due to the ROM I just flashed which is ARHD 1.1.0 T-Mobile US. I need to update my signature file.
sleep2wake is kernel function and has absolutley nothing to do with ROM.
Unless ROM uses kernel that has support for it...
ADHD comes with Faux's kernel which also supports sleep2wake by swiping your fingers across the buttons. So this is obviously a misunderstanding.
That's pretty cool and nifty, especially the screenshot one. They all workes for me on leedroid.

Recently my power button has gone haywire when i press it, it registers as a long press and brings up the power menu. my screen will cut off and come up randomly sometimes it brings up the power menu. im currently running the latest version of MOAR but couldn't find anything to remap/disable the hardware keys. Does anyone know of an rom that will let me remap/disable the hardware keys or an app that would let me do the same. any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

You can always try "button savior" from google play but if you want a rom that has navigation keys then there are tons such as illusions rom and most of those other 4.2.2 roms
Solved my problem partially with button savior but don't is there a way to disable the hardware key?

The power button failure is a known issue with the S3. They usually replace the phone. FYI. It's commonly known as 'sudden death syndrome'
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
I looked up the SDS and some aspects of this lead me to believe this isint my issue what I'm having my power button ( I'm guessing due to using over time ) has become sensitive is the best way to put it the slightest touch will bring up as I did a long press to bring up the power menu so having it in my pocket will randomly bring it on and bring the power menu up. I'm still trying to figure out how to disable the key its self. If anyone had any input on how to disable it that would be a good temp fix till I can get an replacement

Well I disabled mine, just pulled the damn thing off and made a shortcut to shut the screen off....works for now until I get it replaced.
To follow up on this, a month and a half later I put my button back in. Guess what, works perfectly.
.....and time to sell lmao
