Hardware locked or not? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Initially I was unable to use the vol buttons + power to get into download mode but after loading the one click root app I can..
Does the one click root app fix hardware lock or have my fingers just gotten better at holding down the volume buttons + power?

Screenshot on AOKP

Just a quick question, how do you take a screenshot on the AOKP rom?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Hold down the power button and volume-down button at the same time should do the trick!
Awesome thanks!

I didn't know about the power+vol down shortcut, thanks!
I enabled the screen shot through the power menu:
1. Settings>ROM Control>Power menu options> check the 'show screenshot' box
2. When you hold the power button, select screenshot
3. ????
4. Profit
Holding power+vol down doesn't work. Below is correct.

You have to hold vol down + power button for about 2.5 secs for it to capture

thanks a lot, working like charm....
I spent three days with this ROM, and how not find the button, I had to download the Trial Screenshot PlayGoogle, since we could not ask on the topic of AOKP. Thank you for answers.

Just tried it. Push power button and then tap Home.
You can also do it by holding down the power button and the down volume key for about a second. It takes longer than the power button + home button method though
Volume down method doesn't work for me. It just turns my volume down and then the capacitive lights start flashing and the power menu pops up.
Edit - i guess it does. I was pressing power then volume down a second later like how i would do the home method. If i do it at the same time it works.
I kind if like the volume method because the picture gets put in a screenshot folder instead of the camera folder.
This is way cool!
Nice I did not know about the vol dwn + power.

Annoying bug

Stock jellybean rom with siyah kernel.
So when the sreen goes dark, after not touching it for a short time I press the home button to wake it back up. as soon as I do that the screen flashes the page/app I was on and then returns to home. So I have to re enter the app/webpage and this is pissing the living s*** out of me! Any fix? Not happened on ANY other phone.

It is because you are pressing the home button, and the phone has not made it the lock screen yet. Thus when you 'wake' the phone it simply thinks you are pressing the home button, and returning you to the home screen.
Use the power button to turn the screen back on, it will only turn the screen on and not return you to the home page

On my old s1 I could press the home button no prob when the screen went dark. I could use the power button but would be uncomfortable for me. I have smart stay on and that has kinda fixed the probelm but only in day light or a light room. In a lowly lit area it sux

Lock the volume and home button with screen off

So with the phone in my pocket and pulling it out I often hit the home or volume keys with the screen off. Is it possible to lock these buttons and make only the power button light up the screen to unlock?
Thanks!
bump i would like this
Theres already a thread on this. The volume buttons dont do anything anyways when the screen is off.

Thanks. The volume buttons will adjust the volume on anything playing with the screen off. Really annoying when I use my phone in the gym and every time I touch the phone I adjust the volume.

Check out the app called persist from the Play Store. There's a free version that'll do everything you need

[Q] does this phone have a universal return key?

Hi all
Just wondering if there is a return key which will take you to the previous menu on this phone? I can see there is a physical button but I am guessing this is the 'home' Button..
Thanks

Yes, to the right of the Physical button you see is a haptic button that lights up when you touch it and that is the Back/Return key and on the left is a Menu/Options key :laugh:
