Thinking of purchasing the nexus but wondering if the home button ever interferes with texting. Anybody who has a nexus if you could post your thoughts on if you accidentally hit the home button while texting?

no. Id worry more about how laggy the landscape keyboard is sometimes.

You can hit it by accident but you type every day on a keyboard and you manage to hit most of the correct letters so no reason you would be that inaccurate with the space key.....
I'm a heavy texter and I've never accidently hit the home button
I've never accidentally hit it either

Vol down + power

WTF?

In all honesty, it is a bit tricky to time it right the first time. That's why it might seem not to work but it does
Also, some ROMs have this option embedded in the power menu (though most of the time you will need to activate the option first in the settings of the ROM) and this might make it easier than pressing the 2 keys at the exact same time.
You could also look in the android market. there are a couple of apps that do that.
Although you already have screen capture on your phone, I guess you could try this app. It has been my screen capture app of choice before I bought my GNex.

Hi guys.Do you know any way to take screenshots like on Samsung Galaxy S III.I mean swiping the screen from a side to the other side?I am rooted with AOKP B36.Thx
What's wrong with vol down+power? Seems that would be preferable over a gesture that could disturb the screen you're trying to capture.

How could it disturb the screen? You do know that it uses the proximity sensor, not touch right? Its not like you drag you hand on the screen.

Nope, had no idea. I'd still prefer the button method though. Knowing me, I'd look like a fool waving my hand around over my phone :/
On aokp press and hold power button and then press screenshot.

Sorry my english is not good.
On AOKP, you can also do the power/volume down.

Fire up Voice Actions and say "Take a screenshot".
This just does a Google search

I totally forgot about this method until last night when I remembered back to the announcement of the gnex and how they'd be incorporating screen caps stock. So glad I don't have to use those weak 3rd party apps any longer.
This method is hit and miss for me but at least there is a native way to take one! Thank you for your hello!

User error... Its really easy to do lol. Hitting 2 buttons at once isn't too hard .
You have to hold them for a second . Not tap and release
I usually press power before press volume down. It works 100%!

Hi I currently own a galaxy nexus and I'm really missing my gs2. I am looking to get a gs3 and when I went to the mobile store I noticed that when pressing the home button from any open app there was a slight lag to get to home screen. Is this just normal for this phone or is the display model borked? I've own the gs2 and SBS and home screen button never was that slow at returning to the home screen. Any input would be nice before I purchase this phone.

It's in S-Voice settings.
Oh SK its how the sgs2 was? Nice. Then I am getting it for sure. Been keeping up with the threads here and not much negative stuff . The gnex is nice but the volume is too low and WiFi and connectivity issues are killing the pure android experience. Updates aren't worth dealing with that. Even with custom Roms there are issues.

Hey guys,
My friend spilled grand marnier on phone and now my power button doesn't work. I'm on a ROM that doesn't have screen wake by volume buttons, but is there a mod to put this in, or an app to use instead? I'm afraid to flash without a working power button and my wife's upgrade is in march so I'll have to tough it out till she gets her new phone and I take my incredible back. Thanks to anyone with any suggestions. I greatly appreciate it.

Something similar happened to me when it rained and the phone got drenched. The safest route is to use a hair dryer near the power button wait for it to dry out from the inside then try again. The contact button in the power strip doesn't work when wet.

Yeah I was going to but grand mariner is really syrupy and I think that's the major problem. This has been a problem for the past couple weeks, and been getting progressively worse. Now it won't work at all. Thanks though for the suggestion.

Try cleaning the contact off with a qtip and some rubbing alcohol

Changing Rom's can also be an option.
But you can also try using many apps to turn screen on or off by touching screen or waving hand over proximity sensor.
Eg.
I use:
PGM aka touch control:
Wake screen up with double tap or swipe up like BB10.
Screen off:
Program pie button to turn off screen.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try both of them.
