Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I've experienced this 2 times, I searched everywhere in how to do it, but people keep saying they didn't on accident, we need a dev to answer this question

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?
Seen this alot here but no one can seem to remember what they did to make it happen...its weird..

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.

I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

The only one that does NOT require rooting.

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.
Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

I'm not sure why they stop working with that ROM, but here's a post with a manual way to adjust the brightness.

So I gave it a try and it worked but it didn't. The lights turn on but now they wont turn off even when screen locks unless I reboot and then I have to edit again. So Ill keep searching. Thanks though man its better than it was...

After installing foxhound my phone asked me if I wanted to disable the stock recovery flash or something like that I really cant remember, I selected yes because I wanted the foxhound not the stock rom. Now my phone wont turn on at all. Please help!

Would be quite unlikely to hardbrick from recovery flash, especiallybif you flash right stuff for S3....can you get to download mode, even if you cannot, try download mode combo and plug phone to odin, does it wreckingnize it? Does phone show something (galaxy s3 bootscreen) or screen stays compleetely black?

Screen is completely black and will not start using (Volume - + Home Button + On/Off), does not appear on my computer when connected, does not appear on Odin.

A usb jig will help you if you can get your hands on one.

I live in a rural area and I dont know what a usb jig is or how its used.
This phone cost more than the moon and the stars!!!! How am i ever going to fix this!!!!????
Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? I had a similar issue with my note 2. I flash something and it was just a black screen. Power button, home button, and volume button did nothing for me. I took out the battery and put it back in and I saw the samsung splash screen and went back to the black screen. So I had to take the battery out, hold down the volume, home, and power button and push the battery in. It was a pain to do. Having a second person may make it easier. But give that a go.

Hi all.
My SGS2 keeps crashing on me. It doesn't reboot, the screen stays off but the battery will drain right out if I leave it. I have to boot into download mode to restart the phone.
Is there an app I can use to monitor what might be causing the phone to crash?
Thanks
Can you please provide more information about your phone? What ROM are you on?
Anyways, if you can't turn on the screen, what's the use of an app?
Can you reboot into recovery?

Try re-flashing rom or kernel or trying new rom or kernel. If you get same issue on others then its likely a hardware issue.
I wanted an app that would log what was happening in the background before the crash to see if it was software related
. It happens on all ROMS so I am guessing I'm stuck with a hardware issue

If you had USB debugging enabled, you can check with adb... Dunno any other way to get a log.

Telling you're a noob isn't a bad thing. Trying to remain a noob is. You will learn that to get the most out of your phone, you need to read, read, and if you don't understand, search before asking it. Just a tip
Anyways, if you have ADB set up (in case you haven't, search for tutorials, its easy), here is how to obtain a log using adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27754634

Hi guys, my xperia go is not responding at all. It's on, there is an led flashing siginifieing a text message but thats all. The screen wont turn on. It wont hard reset, and my only option would seem to be opening it up and taking out the battery. I fear it may be water damage, but I strongly doubt it. If anyone has any solutions please let me know. Thank you
