I'm on insert coin. What is supposed to happen when I press the power button? For me, it goes into a "screen capture" mode where pressing home rapid fires screenshots as many times I press Home. I have to press power again to sleep it.
it should turn the screen off when you just press the power button. when you hold it for 3sec then release, it will display the extended power menu (power off, hibernate, restart, etc) and when you hold the power button and press home, it takes screenshots of whats currently on the screen
Mine doesn't do that. It does what I said. How do I fix that?
BUMP - now it is random
Wipe and Reflash and see if that helps?

The power button on my Sensation gets stuck occasionally and when
pressing the home button it takes a screen shot which is very annoying and clutters my photo album.
I know there are apps that lock your screen without having to press the power button. Is there an app that takes you directly to your home screen? I just want to avoid pressing the home key and taking
another screen shot. Thank you!
How did you fix it?
Is there a way to enable stock screen capture like on vanilla ICS ROM?
Hold power button and press the home button.

thanks man..just got my htc one x and im just trying to explore this awesome phone.. and i got 4919 on quadrant wtf!!!
Two ways:
-Hold the Power Button and press home button. This will save the screen shot under your "Camera Shots" folder in your gallery.
-Simultaneously hold the Power Button and the Volume Down button. This will save the screen shot under a newly-created "Screen Shot" folder in your gallery.

If I remember correctly the power+home button will save it as JPG where there power+volume down will save it as PNG, right?

Doesn't work for me (AT&T version). It simply changes volume.
I've tried holding power button for a second before pressing volume down button, as well as pressing both keys at the same time.

No, power + home saves it in PNG format.
The power+volume down works just fine. Your timing may be off.

Ok, now it worked, you must press them together at the same time and hold for 1/2 sec, I didn't wait that long before...
Thanks.
The difference between the two are:
With power + vol down you get sound notification and notification in the status bar where you can view the captured image from, but because it saves outside of DCIM folder dropbox doesn't upload it automatically (which for many this might be a good thing).
Not sure which I prefer more, although power + home has been standard hot keys for many phones/roms I've used in past 2 years...

I didn't know about the Home button. This saves me so much time having to struggle to take the picture with volume down.
Is there anyway to set the screen shot to vol up and power instead of volume down and power?
I don't know about that, put you can double tap with your knuckle anywhere on the screen to take a Screenshot. I find it more convenient than pressing buttons
Now it has to call the screen cap by power off button, how to set it under scroll down meun? thanks.
Press power plus volume down button?
I've found holding down the power button is the best option. It gives you a menu with Screenshot in the list.
Alternative is as viperc suggested, or you could long press the home soft button and use the Google Share Screenshot feature?
