I was looking in my gallery when I saw a screenshot of my phone's home screen. My 3vo isn't rooted or unlocked and I have never had a screenshot app installed. Does anyone have any insight as to how this might have happened? I'd like to create it but have no idea how.

You sir, are amazing. Thank you. Is that a new feature or am I just mentally challenged? Or both?

If using the new OTA with Android 2.3.4, hold down the power button and press the Home button before the power menu appears

power home is pretty universal; kinda surprised peeps dont know this
Is there some kind of trick to taking a screenshot or setting I have to enable/disable to get it to work?
I've updated my EVO 3D to the latest version and can't get it to take a screen shot. Not rooted.
I've tried over and over and it won't work. I've tried every combination of pushing the power button and hitting the home button (holding the power button down, tapping it quickly, hitting them at the same time, etc..).
Also, I've read that there's a confirmation displayed once a screenshot has been taken, is that correct?

You need to maintain the power button press while you press the home button

Hmm, yep, I'm running 2.3.3...
Strange, I updated my phone when 2.3.4 was released. But maybe it just gave me the first update since my phone is new.
But now when I search for an update it says there isn't one available. I guess i'll have to wait for the official release push.
Yeah doesn't even the stupid iPhone use Pwr+Home for SSing?
Well for those who didn't know, we thank you for the information. For those who chose to be assholes about it... Thank you as well.

sort of semi hold down the power button, dont push the power button all the way then press home. thats how i get it to work for me.

anybody else excited for a camera-wake mod? hopefully we get root soon. and hopefully a fine xda dev will put something together for us.
I was thinking about that too would be real nice but I would hate to lose the ability to launch the camera w it. So if its possible to wake device and still be able to launch camera once in I'm all for it

well on the original evo i believe they had the ability to use the volume keys to wake and still retain the ability to change the volume as well so hopefully its possible. also, i was just thinking, the camera button has multiple stages. there is a slight press and a full press that could be tinkered with.

I've tried every combination of holding the power button and home button possible and....nothing. Is my Rezound just not working right? I've hunted through all the settings and haven't found anything. I'm stock and not rooted.

tried rebooting? holding pwr and pressing home should work. factory reset may help if nothing else does. I never lost SS capability until I started deleting stuff in titanium, but you are stock so that isn't an issue.
***press and hold the power button down, and within 2 seconds while holding the power button down, press the home button.***
It is a pain it took me forever when I was stock it has to be perfect timing. Just keep trying you will Get it.

You are right... just tried it. Worked. Been using screenshot rooted since I came over from the Dinc.
Any guesses on the timing? 2 sec? Either button a millisecond before the other? Do you hear the shutter sound then let go? I mainly get recent apps pop up then the power off one. I know this is a little nitpicky but isn't that why we're here? To obsess over inanimate objects without being judged by others? thanks guys, I won't give up!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Make sure you push power first before you push the home button. It's literally like a millisecond before, but it is power first. Try that and see if it works. Also, did you freeze anything? I know you say you're not rooted, but were you temp rooted and froze something?
It worked! I can't believe it! That was the trick..power button right before the home button. Thank you so much! And no, no temp root or anything (a moot point now). I'm waiting for the ever elusive ics ota before I root (no, I'm not trying to start a discussion about that!) thank you again.

Lol, glad it worked I was one of the lucky ones who found that accidentally so I knew what to do from that point forward. And I was just asking about being rooted and such in case you froze the sribble app that makes that work. But yeah, it's your phone, mate, you root it when you want to
yep, hitting power right before the home button works everytime! thanks! also not rooted here..and new to the rezound. coming from an X the whole unlock/root process is actually intimidating me right now. ive been romming for years now and i'm scared with the rezound. ha.
So I searched the forum and haven't, yet, run across any topics revealing my question, so here it is. With all this modding going on, is there any way or possibility to be able to make the thunderbolt have a native screenshot with hardware keys? Such as, pressing "search" and "power" at the same time and holding to take a screenshot?
Sent From Under A Ghillie Suit
Most newer ROMs have it. Press and hold Power, then press Home.
Can it be incorporated to a stock rooted Rom?

They also have apps in the market to take screen shots, just as easy. I used screenshot ux.
Thats so cool!....I did not know that was even possible....I gotta look more into this.
Simple question. Was taking them before i did the ICS upgrade and root by holding down the multitask button. Now it seems that doesn't work after the upgrade.

Hey can I PM u and ask u something about rooting and all I want to do cuz I'm new to the Amaze 4G but not HTC, I've looked through and read all the threads on this but I want to be 100% sure cuz this is my daily driver if u don't have time that's cool?

Sorry, but No. There are too many threads regarding How To Root. You can find everything you need to by a sticky found in the Development section. Or just use Hasoons All In One Tool Kit.
Lol you probably get a lot of those like I do double0.

If you're a noob I don't deserve my RC status, which you obviously deserve but you're too modest to accept my proposal to recommend you, .
For me, I hold the power and lower volume, it works a lot more consistently than power and home.

One of about three ways I know how to, .
I hold Power button + Volume Down + Home button. I do this so I can take a screenshot while I make a screenshot.
Jokes aside, you have 3 different methods. Power Button + Home button works on most Sense ROMs. Power Button + Volume Down should work for ALL ICS ROMs. There's an another method, but it works on very few ROMs. You can hold power button until a dialog comes up, and there will be an option for you to take a screenshot. However, not all ROMs have this feature.
Boom. Three ways you can take a screenshot on this device.
