I just flashed to sky ics yesterday and I everythings works fine except I cannot take a screen cap and I have tried both method, volume down with power and power with home button. Also I can't seem to have my home keys button vibrate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

How exactly are you trying to take the screenshot?? Are you pressing power + home at the same time and holding?? I just tried it and it worked
And as far as the vibrating goes, is "vibrate on screen tap" checked under sound settings??

home+power . Timing is a little more critical than it should be AFAIK.. push power a split second before home and hold both for a second or so.

Thank You guys for that quick reply
The Vibrate thing was just me being stupid and could not turn it back on Thanks lilair and stoopendis, but yea i tried everything with the screen cap and still doesn't work, it used to work fine with just power button and home before i flash. My buddy who also flashed to sky ics and his screen cap worked fine too, he also has the same update.
Geez that's too bad. I gotta tell you though... it took me a while to get the sequence/timing down. I swore up and down it didn't work! But persistance paid off and I have my sc now although sometimes it takes a fee trys.

i know it isnt a fix but i used to use an app called "screenshot" from the app store..it allowed you to shake the phone to get a screenshot
Yea think I will just do Third party app or just flash to CNET just for fun lol

The easiest way to screencap on ICS is press home for a split second then hold power for roughly half a second while still pressing Home.

I thought I saw this somewhere... But what I read about it was it was similar to doing a factory reset, doesn't actually reflash anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Vol- & power will do a hard reset when you still have stock recovery.

Yups, my first G2x was experiencing major reboots so I did a factory reset via vol down + power. didn't help lol. Didn't want to wait for an OTA update to fix the issue so I opt to exchange it and my current one now works like it should

the thread says vol. down, HOME and power. is that what you did?
I believe it pops up the stock recovery menu and goes into verbose mode while the phone is doing a factory reset. The stock recovery menu is useless since you can't actually select anything.

volume down and power will hard reset if you font flash nvflash.

Didn't read thoroughly, my bad. its without the HOME key. I don't think the capacitive keys work when the phone is off lol.
If planning to do so, backup prior! Otherwise it shouldnt be necessary...don't do what you don't know your doing just cuz everyone else is doing it lol

Vol. Down and Power gives me a screen that says "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." And it never does anything. I had gotten a boot loop (hadn't even considered rooting yet) so I pulled the battery and booted up, I guess my finger had been on volume down. Still does that, and it never changes. Just stays like that. If I pull the battery, I get a boot loop again. What the hell D: Should I call up customer care?
It will force the phone to shut down. I did it couple times when my lock screen froze.
Simply holding power will force the phone to shut down.
Power and volume down format on stock or recovery if nvflashed
I don't think home is necessary or used at all.

Sorry, can't help you there. There are some apps on the Market that take screen shots but I can't recommend any since I never have problems with the built in one.

Try shootme. Its not in the market any more, but i've found the apk before here on xda.

I don't think the previous responders get your question. Some roms do support custom boot animations, there are a few threads on the site that explain how to do this. Feel free to look some up.
I think he wants a button in the shut down menu that will take a screenshot of whatever is under the menu. Haha not sure ...

Similar to what is available in CM7? Don't know how that is integrated, but it would require a decent amount of smali work to get it accomplished.
Obviously the title doesn't say it all. Haha

i know its late bute Drocap2 (probably have to get the apk from a search as it was pulled from the market) will let you have a notification bar trigger, map screenshotting to the search button, and has a shake trigger if that helps

Honestly, it's a timing issue... I used to have a hard time getting shots by holding Back and then hitting Home, but I've gotten MUCH better at it. It's all in the timing of how you do it, the best way i can explain it is to press back and kind of say "one one-thousand" to yourself then tap Home without moving your finger off of Back. You'll here the camera shutter sound and it'll be saved to your SD card in a folder for screen shots.
This is the only way I take my shots and it works fine, provided you've got the timing down (also, I've only used Froyo ROMs).

There are still some things you'll never get a screenshot with. Why not just use one of the screen capture apps like DroCap or Shootme? There are likely hundreds more that do the same thing as well.

Well known "bug", you should really search your devices forums. Basically it's from Voice app that Samsung has bound to double tapping the home button. Look in your device's dev forums probably best bet.
Thx. Doing that now. But one thing though this never happened to me before. This annoying bug Started today

this works on some screens, but not all. for those that the back+home doesn't work, it's best to also have an app installed, or you end up using a camera to take pics of your phone screen like I did in the cranium thread
Screen Capture Shortcut
https://market.android.com/details?...uZHJvaWQuc2NyZWVuY2FwdHVyZXNob3J0Y3V0ZnJlZSJd
Try this it doesn't require to root plus it can take screenshots through notification bar.. It simple and easy to use.
Gonna try this later..

Ok so normally if a phone were to freeze up or something happend you just pull the battery and then put it back in and start it up... is there a button combination or something that no matter what will alwaya restart the phone?

volume up AND down AND power will force a reboot
Wrong
In official user manual on page 180 is that the when not responding press power button for 10 seconds then release to restart the phone

Your method works because you are holding the power button. The volume keys have nothing to do with it you don't have to press them.
