Hey everyone,
I did some research regarding screenshots and it seems like it isn't that easy. But now comes the funny part. I kind of activated a screenshot mode, because everytime I pressed the home button on my Sensation it took a screenshot and put the file in my "camera shots" folder.
Since I couldn't exit some apps I had to reboot, but I have no idea, how I did this. Do you?
Some details:
Android 2.3.4 (official ROM)
Sense 3.0
Software 1.50.401.1
Kernel 2.6.35.13-g1e13373
Hope this is enough.
Greetings from Germany!
R u using any third party app for taking screenshot because if u are on the stock rom there is no option of taking the screen shot... If its a third party app probably you could just uninstall it...
I'm guessing that your power button is sticking, so when you press home it takes a screenshot.

What do you mean there is no option to do that on stock rom? Where do you get this info?
Fortunately, the member above knows what he's saying! yes there IS a way of taking a screenshot. That's activated by pressing power+home. I would also think your power button is sticking or something
Indeed there is a screenshot option implemented in the stock rom
It's triggered by holding the power button together with pressing the home icon.
So if it is triggered by itself auto when pressed the home icon, just get the back off and check if there might be any dust or hairs between the contact...
You guys are geniuses You were right, Power + Home takes screenshot. Is a simple explanation why it didn't happen after reboot.
Thanks!

Is there a way this can be done. I cant stand the notification popping up all the time and waking me up at night. I dont really want to turn my volume down I just want it not to notify me when the battery is fully charged.
I'm pretty sure most custom roms have already done this

yes I know but I was curious if I can modify the apk or replace it or something on my own and do it?
I'm pretty sure(but don't quote me on this) you can't disable it without rooting & flashing a ROM(i.e. Gummycharged). Hope I'm wrong but I've been hearing people complain about not being able to remove it just like bloatware(also solved by ROMs).
I have the leaked GB ROM and I have this stupid thing I can not find how to get rid of it.
There is a program that is freezable in titanium called Fullbatpopupapp, but I don't know the ramifications of freezing it. (need my phone for work so I don't f&ck with it much lol)

I know, but I am running ee4 debloated and I love it. The only thing I hate about it IS.....the full battery sound!
I use my phone for a pager also where work has to page me. So turning down the notifications while I sleep is not an option. So an hour after I am asleep my phone goes off as if I am getting a SWAT call-out and it just telling me I have a full battery. Hopefully there is a simple fix.
And since the DEVS can do it, it is possible. Just need them to see my cry for help and show me the way!
please someone has to know how to do this????
I would also like a solution to this that doesn't involve flashing an already-modified rom. I am also running ee4 debloated and it suits my fancies perfectly. All I need is to remove that battery charged notification.

Go to Dialer and enter *#83786633, then press the home key
Go back into the Dialer, clear those numbers, then *#22745927
Now a screen will appear asking for the SPC Code, enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button, then press home button
Go back into the dialer and enter *#3844228#. It allows you to disable it.
You can also use this option to disable the lock screen (and power down pop up), go back into the Dialer and use the code *#7594#, select Shutdown and press the Home button. This, I have confirmed, does work on the Charge.

The lock screen part is, I don't disable the lock screen, just included it since it uses the same information. Mostly posted for the full battery question.
I had it removed on my fascinate. There is a zip file for the fascinate to do it. Maybe someone can port it over. The fascinate isn't far from this phone

What do you do after you put the last code in (*#3844228#)? Do you hit the home button again or dial or nothing?
For those whose proximity censor is not working and they are on MIUI.
you just cant end a call even if u hit power button the screen doesn't turn on.
Here's a solution for that.
If you aren't using launcher pro then install it. Hit home. Now you'll be in a new launcher.
Long press an empty space on the screen. Choose shortcut >activities >settings >accessibility settings. It will prompt you to choose that as the shortcut and it will be placed on the screen.
Then open that and it will ask you if you want to install some accessibility features (because the rom doesn't come with any) but feel free to say no.
And there you go. Power button to end call. Once you're done you can uninstall lp.
I hope u guyz get help from it. I really had a hard time bcoz of this.
thanks! i tried finding it in settings but i couldnt find it then i came across this
Thanks!!!

I want to know which is the name of the apk for the stock lockscreen. I'm trying to keep widget locker as my lockscreen but that annoying stock lockscreen pops before widget locker and it's very annoying.
You can't. Lockscreens aren't standalone apps. They are part of the framework, which is why you'll sometimes get double locks when using a third party lockscreen app.
I use dialer codes to remove lock screens altogether. I haven't tried a 3rd party after that though, so it's worth a shot

Below is the text I copied from another forum. I've tried this on several ROMs with success. NOTE that this will disable your long-press power menu options. Holding the power button now will power off your phone.
This is not a problem for me, except every now and then I accidentally shut the phone off.

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
hey all...i just flashed clean rom 5 and it's working great, however, I cant seem to figure out how to take a screen shot. I've searched the forums and cannot seem to find an answer. Can anyone help? I've tried power and home screen and still nothing...thanks!
How about the palm-swipe?
Lay the side of your hand on the left side of the screen and swipe it all the way to the right side of the screen.
It needs the motions enabled in the Motion control panel, and it's all the way at the bottom of the screen.
Or you could just use the screenshot command that is built into Android ICS and JellyBean.
Simultaneous press the Home button and the Power button to take a screen shot.

Press Home and Power simultaneously, and HOLD until it takes the screenshot (only takes a second or so). This feature is absolutely present in CleanROM. It has also active in every stock build of TouchWIZ that Samsung has put out for our device.

Yeah, like he said you just gotta hold it a sec or two. It's not as responsive as snapping a normal picture thru the camera for instance.
