Hold the power button and down button at the same time for a second or 2.

Quick memo is faster a and easier

[Q] Make buttons stay on with backlight

Is there a way to have the 3 hardware "buttons" stay on anytime the backlight is on? I switch between devices often and it can be a pain to remember which button is which at night.
This question comes up often. Please do a search.

This seems to allow a full range of screen brightness adjustment but doesn't seem to offer any option to keep the buttons turned on when the screen is on.

Have you try AdjBrightness -> Menu -> Option -> Lock on Button lights ?

sorry to hear that.
I am on streakdroid 1.9 and when i have that option checked + setting the brightness in that app, the buttons do stay on for me
Anyone else have an idea? I flashed streakdroid 1.9 just to see if the above suggestion worked. Still no go.

Quit quibbling about that... what is a forum for?
I run a Corvette forum and don't jump someone for asking the same questions, especially new members. After awhile the new members figure out how to search...
You also must press the set button.

Still no go. Used both the brightness and the timeout set buttons. Button backlight only stays on for about 5 seconds.
same here.....
At first I didn't like the light not staying on either, however after about a week, it was pretty easy to remember which the 3 buttons are and where... even in the dark. Now I don't mind at all.
Tip... touch lightly anywhere on that side and it lights up.

No I'm saying your post was useless and didn't help answer the question as is this one.

How to Take Screenshots Without Root (No App Required!)

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.

you mean like on an iphone or ipad? hold power and home?

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!
I feel like such a noob! LOL... Lesson learned B-)

wifi/bluetooth functions will not turn on

the wifi/bluetooth functions will not turn on when I press them. They will both slide to "on," and after about six seconds will slide to "off." I don't get any message about activity or errors, they just slide to "off."

I had this once on my old S3, I think I reflashed a kernel and it fixed it. You might give that a shot if you have not already.

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?

accidental screenshots

Hi team,
Do y'all know if there's a way to disable using Power+vol down for screenshot? My gallery is filled with accidental screenshots because of this shortcut, and the knock knock one works perfectly well.
Thanks.
Lol, not sure but I do this at least once a day too!!

Thanks for the advice. Doesn't look like it though. Also can't map Power button with it.
I have eleventy trillion accidental screenshots and they are from touching my screen in some way.
I actually asked Huawei support about this as I used to take a bunch of accidental screenshots at first. They confirmed this can't be disabled right now.
That said, I've had the device for a few weeks now and only take accidental screenshots 1-2 times a week now instead of like 5 times a day.
Hopefully they add the option in a future FW update.
and there was me thinking this was a default Android rather than Huawei specific keyboard combo ;o)
Any solution guys....?
May I know why are you guys using that combination in the first place if you don't want to take a screenshot?

Because it's very easy to hit both buttons simultaneously, as they are next to each other.
