Hey, guys. On marshmallow OOS we could do screenshots through the power menu.
This option in power menu seems to be gone now in nougat OOS.
So, since 3finger swipe doesnt work in some apps is there any other system integrated way to take screenshots?
Or do i need third party app for it now?
Volume down + power for a few seconds. Hold it too long though (10 sec) and it will shutdown.

You can enable it in 'Gestures' (where you can enable double tap to wake, draw circle for camera etc)
It should be working, (in settings-gestures), or you could get screenshot by pressing power button + volume down button, it always work for me.

Hello fellows,
I have question about screenshots in SGS2. How I can take them? Only by special application, connecting it to PC via HDMI cable or another? I was just wondering to take some pictures from Galaxy on Fire 2 and Reckless Racing
Thanks and greetings.

Press both at same time is actually right. You can hold HOME and press POWER and release POWER and stay holding HOME though.
I'm using "screen capture" on the market
here's the link

HOME + POWER works like a charm, no root required, no need to install any additional apps

Hallelujah! I never got that, was pressing both buttons simultaneously which just locked the screen. This works better, though still not every time like on iOS.

Any method? Power button also great... Just tired to use soft button.
Most custom roms have this option if you go into camera, then go to settings, then Camera Settings (more), then Power Shutter toggled on On. I have attached my Camera.apk that has this option, but you have to push it to /system/app

Thx dude yeah I can use it
But I found that it is inconvenience to use power button since it will make the phone sleep or even off
So the question is here how can I use volume buttons to capture photos with stock rom?
What do you mean using the power button will make the phone sleep? The camera app disables the power button as a 'lock button' when in 'power shutter' mode. When you press the camera button, it just takes a picture and doesn't do anything else. If you want to lock the phone, just press home then power. It's just one more button press.

You can use my application, search in google play "Photo Button - Spy Camera" by Mgrmobi
I apologise if there has been a thread on this but I have searched and all i could find was about unlocking the carrier.
My problem is that I can't unlock my S3 using the home button, I'm not sure what happened but it just won't work. The button functions perfectly and I can still use the power button, but I have an otterbox and it is rather annoying having to press that button.

10 or 10.1/10.2?
There's a setting directly in cm10.2 for that. Look under Settings > Buttons (in the Device section)
Then you should see "Home button wake" there, make sure it's checked.

Thank you so much !
I cannot lock or wake up the device. HOWEVER, double tapping the power button works. Does anyone know what's going on?

sounds like you installed an app/xposed module/rom/kernel that might be responsible for that, or at least one of it's settings. is that possible?
My phone is completely stock. No mods of any kind.

did you enable "press power button twice to open camera" in display settings? if so, disable it and try again.
Disabling that feature results in a completely useless power button.
The latest OOS update 3.2.8 disabled double pressing power button to open camera feature which is my (probably everyone's) favorite feature. It is now replaced with triple pressing the power button to call Emergency services. But the camera shortcut is very useful. I request devs to create an Xposed module to bring back the feature.
Hi,
I have the 3.2.8 and the double press power is work for me.

It has been disabled for Indian users as our government has made it mandatory for every smartphone to have a physical emergency button
Why don't use the other option gesture to open the camera?

Instead of abusing the power button often with that double press to open camera you better use the gesture option instead
Can anyone who is not in India confirm that Double pressing the power button still launches the Camera in 3.2.8?
I've tried the O gesture but I find it to be inconsistent. :crying:
I totally agree that the double press power to launch is the dogs. I may stay on 3.2.7 if its lost in 3.2.8. :silly:
