Ics screenshots: You take them with power + vol -
Can people bump this so that more people know?
Its infinitely easier than having to press power + home. Thank god they changed that.
To be fair I learned it really easily. I just googled " how to screenshot ICS"

You can also hold power and home for a second or two.

Sometimes it doesn't work when you first flash the ROM. I had that issue no matter how long I held down either combination it wouldn't take the screenshot, did a full wipe again and flashed the same ROM fixed it for me. But manly I think people don't know that they now have to hold the combination down for a second or two.

[FB17 SCREENSHOT] HOME+POWER or VOL DWN+POWER - Your Choice!

So most of you know what Vol Down + Power is the screenshot when you hold it. Well it looks like they kept the old Home + Power as well, just hold them and it does the same thing rofl.
Home + Power didn't work for me when I was running the rom. Volume down + Power did however. Holding home+power would just bring up either the new task manager or it would do something else. Maybe another quirk with the build?
I hold either or on FB17 and it does it.

OK the trick is pressing them at the exact same time, not one before another. Press and hold.

definetly not as smooth as on GB. took me a couple tries to get it going. I actually thought this feature was removed at first cause it is so picky but thanks for the info! now I know I just need more patience.

It's actually smoother than gingerbread, I think most people are trying to tap them together but you have to press and hold both buttons until it snaps.
I like this new way better and also like using power + v. down. Easier to manage imo.

Just discovered something I want to share!

Well i never saw anyone mention this here so here goes. My phone froze on me out of nowhere and i was being too lazy to pull out my case + batt cover to remove the batt so i tried different button combos till i found one that worked! Holding power + Vol up for about 10 seconds reboots the phone! Once it started back up i tried it again n phone rebooted
Edit: I'm on sfhub's oneclick FC22 ics. Not sure if its exclusive to this build so i suggest testing it out and letting me know if it works on other builds as well.

Oh wow, that's awesome!!
I noticed it but I passed it off as something i had just never tried before lol.
You can just hold the power button...
Had it happen to me a couple of times. You don't have to hold vol +, just hold the power button down and it reboots the phone

Not new but thanks for sharing
Just hold power to reset.
Wow lol.. hold power button down will reboot phone. Power and vol up will get you into recovery if you hold it longer
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Ah ok power button does the trick alone lol.. Well i never saw it being mentioned and i got excited i didnt have to do a battery pull anymore! And i know vol up + power takes u to stock recovery but phone has to be off duh lol.. Anyways my bad for the stupid thread someone delete.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yea, just hold power for 5 seconds (like on a PC) and it will reboot

Power+down for 10 seconds will shut down the phone and go straight to download mode.

This is the correct answer. Thank you. Home and Power does not carry over into ICS.....its now volume down and power. Makes it a bit tricky now because both buttons have to be pressed at the exact same time. arrrggghhhh....

Download Mode?

Ok so I made the jump to zv9 and after realizing my mistake I want to downgrade with LGNPST and root. Long story short, I've used every button combination on this phone and can't get into download mode. I know it's supposed to be vol(up + down) + power but it's not doing anything other than booting up. Am I doing something wrong? Did I hold it too long? Not long enough? Do i sacrifice a goat to the gods of LG? Someone please help...

Maybe your little bump isn't working. Try holding both up and down while plugging into your comp

Glad it worked. I understand why you would want to be careful

[Q] Unable to take screenshots.

For some reason I'm unable to take a screen shot with both the palm gesture and the T-Mobile recommended way (power + home)
I'm on stock, non rooted, using Nova Launcher. I was having the same issue before using Nova as well.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

If your sure ur pressing home and power at the exact same time and holding them down, then I have no idea. Never heard that from anyone.

So it seems it was a user error on my part. I wasn't holding the buttons down long enough.
Thanks for the help.
