T989 won't screenshot on jellybean - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

No matter what OS, on jellybean, the feature to screenshot doesn't show up, on stock I can't screenshot at all. CM10.1 is the only one I can do so on. I would prefer stock, but I'm using that T-Mobile JB leak, and I don't know if that feature just wasn't included, or what?
Can you guys help me here? How can I screenshot on stock?

Power and volume won't work either. And aren't I in t989 questions? I'm new to the xda app.

No your in the development section not Q&A and yes volume down and power does work and always has for any ROM on this device that I have used. Timing had to be right but it works.

I understand that it is the normal way to do it. I always do it, on my tablets, on my phones, everything. It just won't work. I've reinstalled stock, I've installed Jedi jelly, Jedi mind trick, anything that comes with touchwiz will not let me screenshot.
Tl;Dr, the button combination doesn't work, and none of the apps do. It's like the ability is absent from my phone. ICS and gingerbread it works on, as well as CM or AOKP, but none other.

Im using screenshot ux app to do that on stock jb leak rooted, never been able myself to use the button combo to work on any device. Lol.

I just had a brainfart and figured it out. The leak is for the version of the t989 with the centered home button, so when I hold down home and power, it screenshots! Just for anyone else who has this issue.

So I was wondering about this, and figured out that unlike htc, when you want a screen shot, you hold the power button and just tap the home button, the official t989 tmous release of jb requires that you press and hold both the power button and home button, at the same time, for two seconds, it will screen shot! It feels not very intuitive as the amaze, but still not complaining, I enjoy it very much, just going through sense w/d's, without my weather widget, or all the other cool full screen widgets, fm radio ect ect

thanks .... screen capture on Kodoo Gs2x or T989d

I am actually running v4 if its the same then all you have to do is press and drag the shortcut over which ever one of the standard ones you want to replace and it should switch spots

Did you figure it out? IM on v7 now and all you gotta do is go to the apps screen and then edit after that you should be able to move the icons around

Dont like the color of the notification bar, its gray now. Browser seems a bit laggy (Maybe the incompatibilities between JB and Flash?). I dislike the new transition when opening apps. The phone just feels awkward.

yeah totally OFF topic of this thread. But i will tell you how to get into recovery then dont post about that in this thread anymore since it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread....
Steps to get to recovery:
1. Power phone completely off
2. Once powered off, press and hold VOLUME UP
3. While holding the VOLUME UP key, press and hold the HOME KEY
4. While holding VOLUME UP key and while holding HOME KEY, go ahead and press the POWER BUTTON to turn on your phone.
5. You will see blue letters flash up on the screen, you can let go of the buttons once you see that. If you dont see that, then wait till you see the galaxy s3 splash screen then let go of the buttons.
6. Flash the .zip file in the recovery. BTW you MUST have a custom recovery installed. IE TWRP CWM. If you need further help please use the search function or google to figure it out. Just type "CWM or TWRP in the search function.

The status bar is hideous, agreed. Haptic feels the same to me as it did on ICS and the JB leaks.

Well if you're on a cm10 ROM, go into settings and assign the long press menu function to "voice search" and then I'll mod the apk to add the ability to launch it from holding the menu button.

Haha yeah it's not possible in touchwiz. I believe the long press menu function acts as a regular search button single press. I'm certain that could be changed but I'm not sure I never ran touchwiz. what version of floating note do you have?

I am on CM10 and was able to change my long press menu button to function as long press search. If you can get me your android.policy.jar file i should be able to change it. it might take some time though im not 100 percent sure what to change.

Do you have long press back button to close app checked in development settings?
