Is there any way on the stock device to take a screen shot?

Power button and the home button works I think.

And a second method is power button + vol down. I find the timing tricky and sometimes end up switching the phone or the volume off but it does work when I get it right

Hit them at the same time and you're good.

IMO it works better if you press and hold the buttons until it says "Screenshot Saved"

Yes...it works! I don't have to spent $4 at the market!

I've found that if you're holding down the power button and tap the volume down or home button it usually works.

Help! Power button clicks but doesn't work!

Got the hardware checked out, all cleaned up and fine.
Had miui and it just happened randomly. So I restored a backup of aokp with matrix and still. Every once in a while the reboot menu comes up as a delayed reaction from hitting the power button. My current fix is the volume wake option. Also volume rocker works when the phone is on, but doesn't work to select recovery from the boot loader menu!! So weird!
Any help would be appreciated.

No numbers come up hitting the power button, only for the volume and soft keys. What could be the issue if its not hardware?

If it doesn't work in android AND recovery then I can guarantee you that it's a hardware issue.

Button prob fix?

I have my O1 for 2 years now, unfortunately i pressed my off button and up volune too hard when soft brick my phone about months after buying. Its still functioning if i pressed hard enough. Now its worsening, is there any way I can fix it? I have tools to open it.
Just a thought. Sorry if there is a previous thread as this, but i search already and theres none.

This might help.

Buttons do have the maximum amount of clicks. Thats why they degrade. If you want to fix it (hardware) u need to replace the switch (the one connected at board) which is hard.
There is a mod somewhere that replaces (or use both power and search key) as powerbutton. It wont replace the power button when booting up the phone but atleast turning off the screen using the search key.

But mine degraded just 4 monthaftrr using O1. I pushed the power button too hard as i was panicked that i hard brick my O1(does not enter cwm, just a few character on the uppwr left corner). OT, sorry.
Thats my main prob, i always flash rom, and if i got stuck in bootloop i have to enter cwm manualy (3 button combo). And it took me of average 3 minutes or more as it didnt detect the power button in the combo.
Have to live with that i guess.
Thanks for all the help. .
But i still hope tht i can repair it. :/

Haha, my power buttons is also very bad.When I got stuck on bootloop I replace the battery and quickly put it on(very quickly) and the I press vol. down and home to enter in recovery, that's the difficult part, but at least it's easier than turning it on with our damm power button

Trouble with Power button.

I am facing a problem as my power button is suddenly not working and I am sure the phone did not undergo any physical disturbance to have this problem. Also my capactive lights don't work and then blink when I boot the phone.
I am running ViperS 3.1.0. Any suggestions to fix the issue? Please guide me through if anything can be done.

Hey,
The power button does take a fairly longer press to bring up the power menu...I am experiencing that too..
But other than that the power button is working fine...to lock the screen...and to bring up the bootloader when switched off

No it is not the problem. It was fine this morning but suddenly the problem is appearing, I don't know why this is happening.
Also the Capacitive button lights don't work this was not the case before on ViperS

can you boot now to the OS?
if not then boot to the bootloader and reboot from there
after that go to settings and untick fastboot
turn off the device and turn it on again
see how it goes

Nothing I did to disturb the power button. Also when I pull the battery and put it in again the phone just starts by itself without having to press the power button.

When you're in Android, does pressing the power button not turn the screen off/on? Does the power button respond at all in any situation?
Since putting the battery in is causing the phone to power on without pressing the power button, I wonder if the power button is stuck on. When you put battery in and power up, what happens if you hold volume down button? Does it go to bootloader?

Phone won't turn on after installing Gsam root companio

Running skyfall and faux kernel. Everything was fine until installed this app. Went to reboot as requested then nothing. Powered off. Will not turn on at all. Can't boot into the boot screen. Power cable doesn't so anything,...uh I'm confused. Please help

Hold down your power button for over thirty seconds and report back. I couldn't turn on my phone once, but after holding down the power button for ages, it eventually booted.

U WOT M8?

That didn't do the trick but adb got it to come to life. I was freaking out

The power button and up on volume key does the trick.

Thanks. I'll learn htc's tricks soon enough. Said in another post, every mfg is different. I wouldve been looking for Odin on my galaxy thanks for the heads up.
