Pressing the Power and Home buttons at the same time will grab an image of the screen. This can be awkward to get right, so it’s important to remember to press both buttons at the same time, and hold them until the shutter sound is heard. (You need to hold the Power button slightly before pressing the Home button, then hold them both down.)

If you read my report I mentioned that this method is not working

So Stock Rom.
Try power button and volume down.

Do not work.
I bought this phone two years ago and began this problem to a few weeks. I try to get the screenshot the screen turns off and the notification led turns on. At first thought he was going to restart but not, it was just off the screen...

Yeah, it's a stock one

You never said any of that in your original post.
Have you tried reversing and settings you have changed or removing any apps that you may have changed/installed since the problem started happening?

I had already spoken about the problem, only thing that was not mentioned was the time I have my device.
I had not installed anything or modified settings when the problem began to occur.
I'll flash the rom without wiping data...

Or that it was working fine up till a few weeks ago. Try clearing cache and delvik cache in recovery first.
If not a re-flash is most likely needed. also I would upgrade to higher that 4.1.2 as its known to brick phones and cause all sorts of other problems.

Do the 2 buttons work normally individually?

Keep in mind that if you upgrade to 4.3 there is no going back. However I'm almost sure that if you upgrade to a stock 4.3 based rom the screen shot is going to work.

First step is factory reset, followed by flashing the latest stock rom for your country. If it is still the same afterward then test the button hardware.

Well well... hahaha. 4.3 is not so bad., of course you have knox in it. and if you dont want to void your warranty by rooting your phone and changing roms, then stay in the 4.1. That's of course if you still have warranty . I have an i9305 not the I9300 , but i9300 has the 4.3 too . Now my phone has reached another level which is the 4.4.4 kitkat. AAAnywa. glad to see that you solved the problem by yourself .. PEACE!!!

Hi, If you refering when you first time using that ROM, the "power option" still there but after few days/months, the options are gone.....Probably lies on
1)Framework related (Not intergrated permanently/completely to System) or
2)Temporary coding support effect wear off (which may last for few days/months).
Quite Similar to "Xloud/BRAVIA support lost" in certain ROMs, they could be gone from settings just after few days flashed certain ROMs
Normally these problems (yours may included) can be treated by reflashing ROMs/Framework related update-zip. Please note that once again, reflashing ROM zip will wipe all your Users and System Data. If problem still happening, please PM your ROM developer about your case for seeking best suggestions and solutions. Providing screenshot will be also helpful for developer to understand your situation. Hope helps. TQ

Sometimes it happens when you mess around with custom ROMS.. my advise is instal the ROM again with full wipe and formatting the MMC.. Solves the issue pretty easy..

previously rooted phone won't load past splash screen

I've had the phone for around 6 months, rooted it back in Feb or something.
Started having problems freezing and restarting a few weeks ago, has probably only done this only a handful of times, until this morning...
Phone locked up and restarted then started loading the splash screen directly after the samsung galaxy sII screen and got stuck in an infinite cycle. It doesn't vibrate when turned on and no buttons work the only means of turning it off when in the loop is pulling the battery.
I've searched this topic but all I can find are ppl that have un-rooted phones or ppl that just rooted their phones. I can get into recovery mode but don't know what to do after that... help!

go into CWM, wipe cache and dalvik cache(under advanced) and fix permissions, also under andvanced i believe.
If that doesnt help, might have to wipe data.

The only thing left to try would be to use factory reset in cwm. If that doesnt work then youll have to flash new firmware

I would suggest you try flashing stock UCKH7 to see if that will clear the boot loop. To do that, follow the guide in my signature. If you want to try straight stock, use the guide to return the phone to the store. If you want to try stock plus root, use the guide about flashing custom binaries. The download link for the firmware you need is contained within the guides. After you flash, see if the phone boots. If it still loops, enter 3e recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset. If it still loops, or not, let us know the results. Doing the above will be safe since the firmwares contain no bootloaders, and also are free of the eMMC superbrick bug.

Get into download mode and flash the stock UCKH7. If it still persists then your phone is screwed

[Q] Need Serious Help Troubleshooting a Problem

Anybody that thinks they are one of the best if not the TOP troubleshooting helper around, Please let me know if you are available after 5 today. I dont have a lock screen anymore and when I hold the power button down, the device shuts off instead of having the options to reboot, power down, screen shot, whatever else available. I am rooted, but I did try going back to stock and had no luck with the lock screen. Also, I cound a backup on a different MicroSD card and tried to restore that. It worked fine, but never gave me the lock screen or power down options again. Weather you want to talk on the phone, chat, or email. Please reply here or email me at [email protected] Thank You!
Sorry but we don't have a ranking system here. You get what you get . . .
The power off menu is in the framework of the OS. Have you flashed anything with CWM/TWRP that could have changed the framework? Almost any mod could be a possible cause.
Did you use a theme-setting app? These apps change the framework and that includes the lock screen too.
Have you restored a backup recently?
Post your rom version and apps you installed recently.

I'm sorry you felt the need to take what i said the way you did. I was simply stating what i said the way i did because nobody could ever help me with this. I am currently rooted on stock ics. I didn't even have a lock screen after i flashed back to stock on Odin, then used kies to get the latest ics. It doesn't make sense. Do Tippy have any idea how i could put this back to normal? It's a pain having to rely on go locker and go launcher. Also, when i hold the power button down, the phone just shuts down, with no options like normal. It's crazy. I appreciate your help either way. It won't let me flash a different ROM right now. Gives some error. I just want to be fully stock with a lock screen and power menu options them go from there.

Since you can't go back to stock,
Flash a rom, it should install those missing things.
Or mess it up worse and take it back for a new one.

This maybe a dumb thought but can you use kies and install the original ICS again? I know you mentioned backups didn't work so reinstalling original ICS probably won't worj either. Just a thought.

Are you going back to stock ICS or gingerbread? I would Odin back to gingerbread and start brand new. This will solve any major issue for sure. But only do it if you have the things you need to get back to where you are, like the GB root, cwm or twrp, and your roms. Let me know if that helps

I can let you know up front this did not work. I did this in the beginning. Went back to stock GB then had to use Kies to get to ICS. This did not help my issue/problem at all. Still no lock screen. It sucks. I am almost lost for help here it seems. Is there any way to completely reset the device from the beginning? Or again, any way to get help with everything in the actual framework of the whole device? Anything anybody could do to help me with would be amazing. Thank you for everything again!

Idk but I did warranty claim with one of my notes and Samsung didn't say anything about the flash counter after. But they also sent me the new phone first then I sent mine back, but like I said they didn't say anything after.
but now that I think about it, the lock screen is not a device issue. it comes different in every ROM in the framework res.apk! I don't see how that's even possible? The entire frameworks flash and the device can't on its own decide not to install that especially not on stock GB. For you to Odin back to GB and not have a lock screen on GB is just crazy. Nothing out there I'm aware of can do that and not brick the device. You have to bring that device back foreal. That's screwed and if you do fix that pm me and tell me how!

There is no warranty issue here.
I asked several questions about what you have done, but you didn't inform us.
You never said what recovery you have. The simplest solution is to reboot into recovery, wipe all caches, factory reset, then flash a stock rom.
If you can't do that I would use Odin to flash a stock rom.
Those are your options.

I have tried to answer every single question to the best of my ability. Sorry I did not answer your question properly. I was on CWM recovery but Just now again I flashed back to STOCK using Odin. Meaning I have stock recovery. I still DO NOT HAVE a lock screen or any options when shutting the phone down. Those "options" you gave me are no longer available. I did all that. I am about to try to go to a friends house to flash to ICS using Kies...which still will give me no lock screen or options when holding down the power button. There is obviously a deeper problem here. I hope somebody could help me solve this issue. Please I am begging here It is horrible!

Why isn't flashing a stock rom using Odin not an option? Odin is the pc software Samsung created and uses for their work.
Kies didn't work -- try Odin3 1.85

Again, I feel like a broken record by repeating this SEVERAL times but Flashing Back To Stock Using ODIN Does Not Work! I just said that I did this in my post before last. I finally have managed to get cm10 nightly to flash on my device. When I flashed this, it gave me the lock screen back along with options when I hold down the power button. Thank you all for your help anyways. I guess this is as good as it will get.
When you flash a rom with Odin, it reformats your phone, like a clean slate, then installs the new system.
When you say you flashed back to stock, did you use a .pit file, a .tar file, and a .bin file? If not, you are not flashing back to stock -- you're just adding up a mess in your phone.
If you use Kies, then use the emergency firmware recovery, it will supposedly do the same thing as a correct Odin flash -- reformat then install a clean stock rom.

Phone 'freezes' and goes black

Hey guys,
having a trouble for the last couple weeks.
about 5-6 times a day, with no apparent reason, nor something specific i'm doing.
my phone suddenly freezes and the screen goes black, and the notifications led goes blue (not blinking, permanent blue).
only way out of this is long pressing the power button, and the phone goes back on, as if it was turned off.
tried to find out the source of the problem but with no luck.
i'm using
GT-i9300 S3
Rom: cfDroid v13.1 - based on XXEMA2 (4.1.2 android)
Kernel: Perseus alpha 33 (the latest)
Modem: DXELK1
Mods: JKay, acid soundmod, and some other that comes with cfDroid rom
Anyway to pin point the problem and take care of it without having to fully wipe and install a fresh rom?
if you need any more details please ask and i'll post.
Thanks

Kernel: Perseus 33.2
currently im switching over to yank and report back, if the problem is gone.
Hey, please update if it is kernel related.
i want to know this before re-flashing the rom
Thanks!
i'm running yank since 2h and the problem is gone... please test this and report back, so we can send Andrei a message.

Same.
Hi there.
I got a very similar problem.
Screen freezes and turns black.
I ran an continues kernel output and saw a mmc action, but i removed the card before i booted up.
(See pastebin below for kernel log)
And besides the screen is black and the device isn't responding, the kernel is still active and running.
First my specs:
Model: GT-I9300
Android: 4.1.2 (latest Stock)
Base: I9300BUEMA1
Stock-Kernel: 3.0.31-919627 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Build: JZO54K.I9300XXEMR2
Modifications:
TWRP Recovery (2.3.3.0-GTI9300)
SuperSU (0.99)
Busybox (BusyBox v1.20.2-Stericson (2012-07-04 21:33:31 CDT))
My kernel log:
pastebin.com/hRSpzu0D
I hope somebody is more kernel knowledge can take a look at the paste.
Thanks in advance.
Ok too early to be glad.
the problem is back, only now its less frequent, and the device simply turns off.
no blue led.
Now trying to flash Yanks kernel and will report back in a day.
Why don't you try stock Rom and see!

I am on stock. I only added root to be able to see the kernel log.
So it appears to me it isn't really rom related. More like 'something in 4.1.2'.
I wish i could put my finger on it.
Regards.
edit:
Maybe we should start to compare the hardware components?
maybe I solved that.

There was some user reported that problem the last few days...
I had a similar issue, opened a thread yesterday, followed after Slaphead20 advice and make a factory reset.
what i've done was:
factory reset, cache delet from the recovery mode.
flashed and old rom, let kies do the upgrade.
(backed up through myback up) and re-install only what I really needed.
now the phone seem to be running much faster, no lag at all.
i'm still waiting to see if it's freeze.
Still, I think it a software related since so many users start feel those freezes at the same time, it might be some bug in the last update.

Already crashed and burned. Tried to open YouTube.
Saw the "Introduction screen".
Wanted to clear the notifications so pulled down the notification bar.
Pressed "Clear" (don't know what the english text is there).
And freezed. No response at all.
Back to square one! :crying:
OK after running yank555 kernel for couple of days,
the problem still occurs, only now its more rare (1-2 times a day)
and now no led blinking in blue - the device turns off completely

[Q] Xperia p boot screen loading...

I flashed the JB latest stock firmware which i downloaded from here, http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/20-sony-xperia-p-lt22 , using flashtool, i unchecked data, and did not check 'no final verification'. The flashing completed but after i flashed, when i turn on my phone, the boot screen just keeps loading on forever. Also i did not enable USB debugging cuz i forgot... My phone is bootloader unlocked.
Can someone help me? :crying: :crying:

First of all turn it off, hold volume up + power untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations, and charge.
What firmware version you had before?

I charged. I was previously using Honami MW HD™ V8 .. with nemesis 6.3.. I don't know why this happened. I have flashed several different ROMs earlier but no problem like this whatsoever occurred.
Oh and also, when i first flashed the ROM last night, I was using an older version of Flashtool. But then later i downloaded the latest version and flashed with it too but the result was still the same.

I would think it's the fact you did not clear data so you can try just that (exclude everything and just leave all clear options checked) or do full flash.

But that would wipe all the data in the phone right including pics and stuff?

There 2 choices:
Have the data and not be able to use the phone.
Or, lose the data and be able to use your phone.
Up to you which you choose.
It's not like you didn't know it is advised to back up your data before flashing ROM

Try to flash the kernel you had, and perhaps the ROM too without wiping data, it's a long shot but nothing to lpse other than your time.
BTW what data are you worried about, some may be backed up on your google account.

I did flash Nemesis 6.3 but still the phone won't start. And I can't reach CWM even after flashing it but CWM is supposed to be installed along with the kernel. Why can't I go to CWM?
I'm worried about the pictures. I won't be able to recover them cuz I never really synced with google

Have no worries then, the pictures are on internal memory and won't be wiped

Sorry just to make myself clear, the pics on the internal memory wont be wiped if I checked wipe data while flashing the ROM?

Unless something goes wrong, everything on internal memory remain intact.

You are not the first one to worry about it that's why I asked.
And it would be a good idea to backup your phon regularly
