hi there, i found a method on the web about taking screenshots.it was saying only works for galaxy s with android 2.2 but i tried it and succeeded on my galaxy ace with villain rom.
as i said, no app or root is needed.
like i said i tried it with villain rom.and it worked as a charm.who have kpe or 2.2 please post if it works or not!
Method :
in the screen you want to take screenshot ( homescreens, menu's, or game screens, etc ) press and hold the back button in the riht corner.while holding it, press menu key once.and a notification will say the screenshot is taken.that is all.
your screenshots will be saved automatically in a folder screenshots.
the most awesome is no need for any app or root!
i cant post the proofs because i havent 8 posts yet
holding right button (touch) and clicking the middle button works for me on both ace and g3...
Screenshots from Ace (2.2.1 not rooted)
i wonder if it is a default android feature or not
if so, why everybody is trying difficult methods or apps?
hmmm.. may be for pic quality... who knows whats cooking in minds of gadget freaks.. ;p

It is Samsung speciality... you can find ScreenCaptureService.apk in the system/app from Samsung...
Works nice on stock KPE

Because not always does the method work, when the app you are taking screenshot of might return back to previous screen while pressing the Back button. Also other screenshot methods let you capture just by shaking the phone, so no key presses required and helps in better timing.

Try Home+Power for 2.3.4
works on stock 2.3.3, great... but one problem though, when we want to capture a certain screen and press the back button to capture, it goes back to the previous screen... I guess its only for capturing homescreens then
Back plus home key, works for me.

OMG!! Thanks a whole bunch dude!!
Thats cool. Knew you could do it but never realised how. Gods know how many times I've done screenshots by accident. And now I know
Does work on 2.3.4. but gotta be careful it doesn't jump to Homescreen!

I'm sorry if there is another thread/post about this, but I searched and couldn't find one. With the new update, 2.08.651.2, I noticed that you can now take screenshots without having to root your phone.
This can be done by holding down the power button and pressing the home button.
The screen flashes, the phone vibrates (from pressing the home button) and it gives you a message telling you the screenshot was saved to camera shots. In your camera shots album, it will show the screenshot. The screenshot is an OK quality JPG.
All I got was a black pic, I also have my resolution set at 190 dpi, so that may have borked it. I use drocap anyway.

Yep. Just like you would on an iPhone/iPad. Just hold down the power button and click home. When you release the power button, it will tell you the screenshot was successfully taken, but it still takes the screenshot right when you press home.
There is an app called no root screenshot it on the market but its really annoying because you have to plug your phone into your computer every time you reboot

Yup works over here .. Non Rooted.. It didnt do this until the new update yesterday..
It wasn't until reading this thread and trying out the power-home combo that I realized my evo came with 2.3.4 right out of the box! LOL.... I'll stop hitting 'check now' like a maniac!

Shoulda, coulda, woulda... But I naively assumed that all evo's came loaded with the prior version!

Hey guys!
In CM7, when I hit the Ace's power button, it ends the call. I don't want this, I want the good old turn-off screen, like on stock roms. I searched everywhere and I didn't found any option to change this.
Can someone point me what can I do?
Thanks!
Setting/call setting and tick on always use proximity

This is useless to me, since I almost never use my phone holding it. I use the earphones that come with it.

I don't think the setting for the power button is in Accessibility on CM, try looking around the CM menu, I think that's where it is.

Do u have eyes???? can u see my screenshot????
Edit: after reading your post below it appears that you do have eyes
btw i had cm7 by vo-1 and i think that option was present in accessibility even in his rom( currently i have cm7 by F.A.T )

No, I don't have eyes.
There are a few different variations of CM, and the one I used to have (I think it's the one by vo-1) had that setting in the CM menu.
Even LeWa has it

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

Nah, too much trouble. I want it more simple, like it was on stock. And it has to be somewhere on the settings, maybe I'm just not finding it.
good luck in finding it.

I've used Grif's CM7 and in that ROM, POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL option was in Accessibility only
I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

Whatsapp vibration pattern
Can anyone tell me if theres an app to increase the intensity of vibration if we get a message on whatsapp? I have to keep my phone on vibration in class and always miss out on the messages as the vibration intensity is too low.
I figured how to change it for gmail and sms through an app but how can i change it for other apps like whatsapp?

Hahahaha, yeah, 5 mins after I posted this I noticed that this "feature" might be useful
thank you to Condi, I had upgraded my tablet s to ICS. everything work fine.
except taking screen shot. I had read from Sony blog that there's new feature for taking screen shot by pressing "Power"+"Volume down". I tried press it but nothing happen. I can't find any setting for this as well. anyone can give an advice?
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here
you have to hold both buttons for one second
it the volume bar is shown reboot again and then it should work... had the same problem here but after a while it worked ^^
Working fine here. You do need to keep the buttons pressed for like half a second or so, though...
thank you very much , it works now!
I had to push this 2 button at exactly same time. (cannot press one button first follow with another) and hold it for a while.
+1 for such simple action Thanks
sweet, that was an awesome add on sony did for the tablet
Screenshot with power+volume down actually a native ICS function. It's available on any ICS rom.

Does anyone know is there any way to disable the power off + volume down shortcut feature? I got my mate 10 for one week so far, and in general, I accidentally take a screenshot at least 5 times a day while I tried to pick up my phone. Am I the only one having this problem? Does anyone have this problem like me?
Beside rooting my phone, I was thinking if I could get into "developer" mode to disable anything?
