hi, after updating to the Xperia S to ICS 4.0.4
screenshot function is gone from the powerbutton menu.
i read that holding down power button and volume down, should make a screenshot, but this doesn't work on my phone.
anyone know how to capture the screen from the device ? or is this builtin option lost?
Hold power button plus volume down together for 2 seconds.
that doesn't work!

Than you're doing it wrong, or you removed the apk responsable for that (can't remember if it is an apk, anyway).
the phone is stock 4.0.4, only rooted with 1 click root method.
and sure.. doing it wrong, pressing power & volume down?!! you explain to me how pressing those 2 buttons can be done wrong??
i read elsewhere that other people also have this issue, it simply doesn't work on some Xperia S devices.
apparently mine too.
thanks anyway for your insight...
maybe someone else knows more?
Works fine
i dont know why it doesnt work for you but works for me.

Don't press one then the other... do it at the same time. Also I can't explain why but try volume up and power once and see what happens... but its a native function of ICS... should work on all devices.

This is will reboot the device. And OP, you surely is doing something wrong. It works perfectly for me on stock ICS and PA.
ok guys , thanks for advice!
i'll keep trying, hope i don't break the buttons )

If you're rooted and can't get it to work just install a screen capture app?

Which firmware are u using?
And u root it with root many droid or other 1-click method?
How do u take a screenshot as told by others? When do u take it? Which scene are u at when u take it?
This happened to someone back when I had the galaxy s2 it's just like an odd one out of the bunch I guess

It is because those apps are running with Hardware decoding, not software.

Mmm.....so, there are any solution or not? I want to recover Bravia, screenshot to my xperia S...

If you're on unlocked bootloader, no known way to recover it for now. I don't know exactly on how to make it software rendered on Movies App.

Before I got my arc, I had an LG Optimus Seven and with it it was possible to take photos, when the device was locked (screen off).
It was easier to take pictures when I had dirty hands or wearing bandages...
I find it ugly to unlock the device to take photos...!
Hope someone can help or write an tool for this...
Thanks in advance!

hello--i made the exact same move (from optimus 7).
i think the locked mode to camera is a wp7 feature and not available to andriod w/o hacks.
I'd love to be able to take pics, without unlocking the phone. Maybe someone can make an app that opens the camera when long-pressing the camera button and then when you push the back button or turn off the phone, it would go back to being locked. Hope this is possible.

Then someone would request saying that every time the camera switch on by itself in the pocket or handbag . LOL.
Widgetlocker lockscreen. It allows you to make a second lock to whatever you want (so photo if you want )

The button is so small and hard to press, I do not think anyone can experience this...
On my old phone it did not happen either.
The button has also 2 pressure points, to take first the focus and than the picture.
Custom Rom developers grant me this wish!

No clues here brought me to change the arc with the galaxy2.
When I have an phone with a shutter, which is only useful, when in the camera apply and unlocked, I don't really need this anymore.
Sony, you had your chance after the first xperia and you miss it!
The G2 has a lot more power, a Frontcam, much internal storage (apps2sd and then the sd is broken?!) And so on...
With the G2 its possible to activate the camera with the homebutton long pressed and than take photos with the power button.
I thought someone can program this too for the arc, but nobody here seems to be interested in using that small 2 presszones shutterbutton wisely...
That was the reason for me to buy the arc...
All new androids had no camerabuttons!
What was yours?

Hi everyone! I'm kinda new here, so i apologise if i've wrongly opened this tread. I have a problem with my gio. Under unknown circumstances the keyboard along with google search opens. I know this can be done with long pressing the menu/options-button but in my case it starts even i'm not touching it. It's very annoying, obviously. First i tought it's a software problem, but on Cyanogen Mod it didn't happened (there were other problems). Now i'm running Gingerbread 2.3.6. Inspite the problem with the popup everything runs just fine and fast!
Please, if you have any idea how can i solve my problem, let me know!

Thanks
well, thank you guys for replies. I think i just have to get used to this hoping it's a software problem which will get it's fix!
It's that the gio sometimes think the menu button is pressed when it isn't, and holding menu button brings up keyboard. So the solution is to slide your finger on the menu button until it stops. Its a hardware problem

Or just lock screen and unlock it

Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?
??
Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon

Try this
There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:
Screen off and lock
It's free in the Play Store. No root required.
I dont want a custom rom on this phone.

What are you talking about? Did you even try to install the app that I linked to?
Lol
my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=
The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.

Thank for your support. I search my concerns by google, many people meet the same problem, and so far there is no any solution. anyway I can try to answer in-call by shaking fuction. better than nothing.
I appreciate that someone share with us how to answer incall when using flipcover in note 2. so far I know answer call by touching home key and touching screen.
