Taking a screenshot issue - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Somewhere between the upgrade to 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 I have lost the ability to take a screenshot with the volume up and power button trigger.
Anyone else experienced this?
I am completely stock.

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.

There is a button test in the advanced menu in the recovery.

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.

how to take screenshot on the sprint nexus s?

I have ICS with Matr1x kernel. I thought it was volume down + power button, but that doesn't work.
Press and hold them down for like 3 seconds

[HELP] Power Button died and now volume Button is dying

Hi,
i need your help:
My nexus s power button died, but i can live with this. If it turns off, i can power it on via downloadmode + Odin. But now my vol down button is dying and if it is completely dead i cant enter download mode anymore. What can I do? Is there a chance to remap the buttons, so that i can power on my nexus when it is completely off?
Thanks,
Raphael

Maybe find a ROM that has different power on options like the "menu" button.
Also I believe the CMR has a touch screen version.
Good luck

4.4.2 update brings buggy screenshot function?

Ever since updating my Verizon Moto G to 4.4.2, the screenshot function is all kinds of crazy. Sometimes it works, sometimes when I press the Volume Down + Power button, it turns the volume up instead of capturing screenshot. Which is crazy because how its turning the volume up when I'm pressing volume down button baffles me. Anyone else experiencing this?

Did not experience this. I think you may try pressing and holding both bottons.
you have to press the buttons simultaneously - otherwise it would bring up volume control!

As being quite the avid android user, I know quite well how to use the screenshot function. And I know what buttons I'm pushing.

you are right. its bit awkward to take screen shot with stock4.4.2, after many times trial finally got a SS
i am former CM user with my earlier device. taking SS was like so easy.
though i didnt tried SS with stock 4.3
No problem here either when it was 4.3 or 4.4.2

ScreenShot?

What is the correct method for taking a screen shot?
Power + Home button works
Power+Home doesn't work for me.
Power+Vol Down is what does it for me.

I must of been not pressing hard enough. Volume Down and Power did work.
Volume and home, Does not work
Not sure how this varies, but Power + Home works on my phone, Power + Volume does nothing but adjust the volume. Weird.

What home button? Do you have a HTC One (M8) on Verizon? Mine doesn't have a dedicated home button. Power+Volume down produces a screenshot.
The soft home button. Yeah it's an M8. Just got it Wednesday.

Weird. That just shuts my screen off LOL
I can confirm without a doubt that both methods work. I find its 100x easier to just use power and volume down at the same time.
