[Q] Taking screen shot using the stock 4.0.4 ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there
When I was in GB, I could easily take screen shots by pressing the home key and meanwhile press the power button, but after upgrading to 4.0.4 this method didn't work anymore,
Do you know a way to capture screen in ics rom without installing a third party program

vol down and power button will do and also you can press the power button bit long it will show u a option to take a screen shot

Try power button and home key this work for me (also 4.0.4)

Hold down power button and home button at the same time and keep it like that for 3-4 seconds. It will take a screen shot.

power button behavior, screen on/off

Would it be possible, and has anyone made, a mod to require a double press or long press of the power button for screen on? I have had my 3d since launch day and I finally can't take it anymore, nothing is more irritating than pulling my phone out of my pocket and the screen is already on and I have no battery left.
Screen time out? Never had that issue... Volume rocker wake? Idk

With my previous "HTC Desire" I was able to edit the file "bravo-keypad.kl" so that the power button does not turn on the screen ... check out this post if you want to try.
Greetings.
Get rid of your skinny jeans and put a pattern lock.

Hello,
you can try this mod

I use the fully LeeDroid ROM and there you can set the volume buttons or the camera button for unlock the screen. So you won't have your problem with the power button any more

Press Power button + Volume down button and HOLD it for about 3 seconds...
i think you have to be accurate by pressing in the same time

[Q] anybody know how to take screen shots?:L

Does anybody know how to take a screen shot on the spring board tablet?
Just hold volume up (or down?) button + power button for few seconds.

That didn't work :L is there something else to it? Like a setting i have to turn on. When i tried it, it kept asking if i wanted to shut it off.

It only took less than 1s. If nothing happens after 1s, the try again. It needs to be pushed simultaneously (power + volume up/volume button furthest from the power button).

Theoretically this can also work:
Display the desired screen you want to capture.
Simultaneously press and hold the Home and Recent Apps button for 10 seconds
Screen Capture will briefly display on screen
The captured picture will be stored in the Gallery>Capture
(It works on the Springboard, don't know if it will on rooted versions, I put the ICS of TMob back on my springboard is this method does work along with the one mentioned above)

How to Capture Screen shot in Xperia S (4.0.4)??

Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Hold power button and volume down at the same time.
You can also use the SDK for screenshots

Must say that i can't get mine to take screenshots either. Not sure if it related to the fact that i use a different launcher or something like that, but ever since ICS its just not worked.
I use Snappea to take screenshots as i normally have my phone connected to that for texting anyway.
ICS Xperia phones can take screenshots... just hold power + volume down button together (not power then vol down, or vol down then power)
kinda tricky when you're not used to it but that's the only way provided~ or you can use apps.
just press power button and volume down key together at the same time....not power button n then vol down key or viceversa...should do it together ....enjoy...

Power Button Failure?

So, for the past few days, I've had to push the power button three times to turn the screen on. Yesterday it completely stopped working, and had to use a Viper tweak to use volume buttons as power button. Late last night it has been working so-so. Aby ideas?

This is more of a workaround than a fix, but MeanBean has the option to use the camera button to turn the screen on, to hold the home button to load the advanced power menu, and to hold the back button to turn the screen off. You can get by pretty well without ever using the actual power button.
