Just as any FYI, I didn't know it -
There are 2 ways to take screen shots on the EVO LTE.
1. Press and Hold Power and tap the Home button. This drops the screen shot right into your camera folder.
2. Press and Hold Power + Volume Down. Takes a screen shot, and puts it into a screen shot folder. You can also review it once its done.
I know several of you probably already know this, but noobs like me probably had no idea that there where 2 ways and they acted differently.
I was looking for this feature last night for an hour... couldn't find it. I thought I was trying every possible button combo but I guess not.
Thanks!
Thanks man! I hated it going to my camera shots folder. Now I can make it go to a separate folder.. Awesome.

power + volume down never works for me

It takes longer than the other method, you have to hold them both for a bit before it happens.
I knew about the power + home method.
I wonder why they made two way to take pics unless it has to do with an ICS method and then they added a sense method.

It never worked for me either. I must have tried like 50 times and finally it worked. I just use power+home because its so much easier. BTW do we really need like 5 screen shot threads?
I used the first method often but never knew about the power + volume down trick. Thanks!

I remember on the evo3d,when you took a screen shot the shutter sound would go off! On this phone it doesn't! Am I doing something wrong? Any one also having this problem!

It will only go off if you use the power + volume down
Power + volume down reboots my phone, I'm on flex rom with the menu remap don't know if that has anything to do with it

The power and volume down you have to press at the same time where as the the power and home you press power then home.

Yes. Exactly. Power + home is sense, I believe. I could NEVER get the timing right with that method. Power + vol down works every time for me,...AND goes to screenshots folder, which is nice.

Here's a reboot trick for anyone that's tired of pulling there battery when phone locks up
I know this trick works on the HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO 4G could possibly work for others well here's what you do hold the volume up , volume down , power , search button down all at same time phone will reboot if your quick enough you can hold volume down & power to get back to recovery options if this helps anyone just say thanks.
Fyi, holding down all those except the search button will still reboot it as well.

It will sometimes only seem to work of you start pressing volume down, then up and power and holding. This trick works if your phone has frozen as well.
Nice!

Nice tip. Thanks so much. I hate having to take off my case to pull the battery!

Hey. I have the EVO 3D and every now and then the phone freezes or maybe when restarting the phone it gets stuck on the boot image and ill just pull the battery to fix it. What is to be done in this situation if it happens on the LTEVO? My 3D is not rooted and is stock as can be so the freezing situation must be normal.

There's a key combination. Home and power for a few seconds? Not sure since I don't have one yet but I'm sure its in the manual.
Hold vol+ vol- and home all at the same time

I didn't know about that one! That's weird that using volume down saves the picture to a 'Screenshots' folder, while using home it saves to Camera shots. Well I'll be using power + vol down from now on
So will I. I have a hell of a time getting the timing right on power+ home. I gotta try like 6 times before I finally get it right. Button hit.

Power and volume down works best. Getting the timing right for the home button route is just a pain in the a$$!

Ahh the volume down is much better, it shows the screen shot and gives a notification.. Gracias amigos

Just press and hold down the power button then tap the home button.
Works for me fine. You don't have to press them at the same time.

you guys need to push the buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. if you see the volume slider that means it was not done simultaneously

Worked that time. Odd though since it does not need to be simultaneous with the power/ home combo. Thank you for the clarification.

It's another timing game.
Press power and vol down at the same time - do not let go.
Hold for 1-2 seconds till you see the animation
release

So my wife pulled her phone out of her pocket and her LTE was stuck like this.
Can't do a reset or anything. Anyone else have this happen?? On the way to a Sprint store now.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
i'll be honest..... doesn't look good........
on the 3D you could hold the 2 volume buttons, then the power button until the device reset. not sure if that trick is still available. give it a shot.
That looks like the beginning of the ole shut down/screen off animation.
Regardless, holding the power button down should reboot the phone. Assuming everything comes back up alright.
If you hold the power button for an extended period of time it will simulate a battery pull.

Be careful that this isn't the next thing that happens:
You need to hold the power and volume down button.

Tried them all......hold power button down for 30 seconds to simulate battery pull and power button with volume down. Both restarted right back to pixeled screen. Sprint rep called it "garbled" just now. They had no idea and hadn't seen it. Will see in an hour......

That doesn't look like an LCD problem to me... unless the connector was borked.
Ive seen that screen on my EVO shift long ago. More than once and I had to battery pull to fix it.
