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.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"

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.

Just unlocked my bootloader yesterday
And I can feel i lost the bravia engine because watching movies or image is not as exciting as before (it looks pale)
Im using Viper V5 and luupus V15
bravia engine already included in the rom, so how I can activate it on the unlocked bootloader Arc S?
reply is appreciated :angel:

Bravia Engine is part of the system ROM.
Viper is based on stock ICS ROM, so you should be able to enable it from Settings - Display. Just tick Bravia Engine option.

yes, and that's exactly my question
I tried to tick and untick bravia engine in display option but nothing's changed
I even flashed zip of bravia engine from Pimp My Rom package, but still got nothing
If you unlocked using Sonys method then you should know you were going to lose it.
From me to you.

You can not see the difference like that. The difference is seen only when you compare the same picture with 2 versions of it next to each other, one with BE, other without.

No, I can see the difference clearly
I take a screenshot from my home screen and compare my home screen with the screenshot from the album (using multitasking), the screenshot looks clearly more green, more blue, more red (more saturated)
But now my home screen and my screenshot have no difference
I really appreciate your answer, but I still wanna know what's going on

If it was there with the ROM, and it is ticked, then it is working. You can not do anything further.
Unless ROM author actually messed up the files...
After unlocking bootloader
BE1 for videos should work
And BE2 works for photos
Its weird but thats what i learnt yesterday
Sent from my LT18i
That is rite one works with be2 and other be1 but x reality thread is what u need, check it out, it will explain how to get 2 b.e working as one
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
If you unlocked bootloader via Official unlocking method ,you lost your DRM as well as BE . its not coming back.i realized it after unlocking
there is another method ( Test point ) which can keep both BE and DRM.
Dont listen to the above post, check out the x reality tread and it will explain how to 2 versions of b.e working as one, so the answer is its bit more work to get it working with a unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure If its be1 or be2 working, it one or the other with working be3, just ur settings will only say be2 or be1 depending on ur Rom and settings apk

Some time ago I heard that Sony brings Display Mirroring on the Xperia S, but they didn't? Is there any possibility to add this feature to the official Rom or does a Custom-Rom contain this feature?
Display mirroring isn't on any S3 powered-devices because the processor isn't powerful enough to run it at an acceptable speed, so that's why we don't have it.
Anyways, is there any possibility to try it, even if it would hardly work?

Well, software part shouldn't be hard. But I don't know how to do it, sadly.
Is it possible to extract the necessary app from the Xperia Z or another phone?

Sony Music App version 9.3.11 (with Walkman Logo)
That you can install like any other Normal app for any device running Android 4.2 and above. Root or No Root.
I have just made only one change that is removing the restrictions for compatible devices and unlocked it for all devices, there might be some bug for certain features that might not be supported on every device, but it works. I will update more apps that we all can use, even for unrooted devices. just don't ask for ETA's I am not that much in development actively.
Enjoy.
Download here
Although there is another thread for this app here which I saw just after creating this post and a better one than mine. So I will port and post some other apps that works on our devices.
You can also try these apps that I posted on other thread here. works on unrooted devices as well.

No, for un-rooted device apart from sony.
for rooted users, that is possible for any device, but can't guarantee, until I or someone else tests it on Mi A1.

Without Root, not available for anyone apart from Sony. Need build.prop edits as well as other things on the system partition for it to work for the port.

None taken and as much as I love to have all the options open for an android device, I have to keep this device unrooted.(I have 6 other devices in my home and all of them are rooted except this one), so for now, it's my 1 percent to the A1 community.
Good
