Hey guys,
i was wondering if there is any app for our device that enables us to take an INSTANT screenshot, just by pressing several hardware key combos? just like on the iphone, where we can just press the power and the home key. it would almost certainly come in handy

Guys,
Just taken delivery of my first Android handset - nice to be back on here, spent years on here when I ran WM! Anyway, I've been looking for and haven't found an app that'll let me wake the phone by pressing any button, rather than just the power button. Seen stuff for WM, but not Android.
Can anyone help?

to be honest having used the htc hero I was always getting frustrated cause everytime I took out the phone from my pocket I found it had unlocked cause the minute you pressed any of the home search , menu buttons the phone would unlock and it could then even make unwanted phone calls but as for the desire it only wakes when u press the power button which I think is great just my own opinion.
Try this one on the market :
http://apps.doubletwist.com/No-Lock/-2216879159323801559
When you'll hit any key, no more "slide to unlock", phoen wake up direct to home screen
Having used the HD2 I too miss this feature. Not necessarily pressing a key to unlock the device, but simply to bring up the 'drag down to unlock' screen.

Here is this one also - http://apps.doubletwist.com/Screen-ON-widget/6251491150679267019
These 2 apps replace the need to "slide-to-unlock", but wouldn't you still have to press down the "power" button to actually turn on the screen?
I too have found this a little annoying. I think this may be a feature that can be changed once rooting of the phone starts.
Sort of like re-mapping the hardware buttons to where all you have to do is hit the trackpad or MENU button to activate the screen.
Application like this?

No this would be interesting to possibly get for the Desire. Allows you to remap the hardware buttons. Too bad it is -
1 - For the Hero
2 - Requires root
After pressing the power key, mine unlocks by pressing just the menu button as well, FWIW.

For now i've installed MyLock. It removes the lockscreen completely. Now i just press power once.

that's a bonus, thanks.
what would be even nicer would be if the screen woke up (to lockscreen is fine) on a press of any hardware button. guess it'll need root.
just figured out how i am using 2 programs one is nolock and seccond is Widget Locker. nolock wakes up the phone with any key and by default unlocks the phone BUT if you have Widget Locker installed it prevents from unlocking so that way you have your phone with any-button wake and still locked,tested with my LG 2x ,first app is lightweight and dont consume much battery.. i dont know if i made my self clear im italian email me if you want the link or any question

Hi
Anyone know how to set long press home key to suspend phone?
thanks
I would love to see this too.
In fact, I'm using ADW Launcher and it can bind the home key to do a few different things but unfortunately not suspending the phone. I'm trying to contact the app author now to see if he will add in that feature.
Samsung made a great phone but the casing and button placement is so stupidly designed I don't know what to say. I feel like I'm holding a bar of soap and I can't reach the power button 90% of the time.
What is wrong with pushing the power button?
I would be very happy with a suspend widget or app. Searched the market but only found a reboot/power off widget.
App would be best. I could place that on the bottom menu.

The power button work fine. But the home key is more convenience.
I just figured out how to screen capture from landscape view by holding back and pressing home on the keyboad. But how do you do it from portrait view?

I think you do it the same way with the capacitive buttons but everytime I try it is says the screen capture service force closed.

The capacitive buttons only activate on release, so there's no way to hold one down...
Wow! I didn't know the Epic had any built-in way of screen capture! Learned something today!
I use Drocap2 for all my screenshot taking, but I hear ShootMe works also.

You can hold the back button and close the screen holding the smallest amount of the hardware back button... (screen will go portrait with the screen closed this much) now click the capactive home button and you'll have a portrait shot.
Kinda dumb- but works.

How then the capacitive home button gives us recent apps viewed by holding it down for a few seconds?
That is a good question. I didn't invent the principle I stated, I merely repeated it. Try the screenshot combo with the front buttons, it won't work...
Hi all,
is there a way to wake up the screen by double tapping the home button instead of pushing the on/off button?
many thanks
I dont think it is possible. That is like to tell a person to wake up in his dream.

Use widgetlocker and you can switch on with any button.

thanks a lot for your suggestion. I installed widgetlocker, but in no way I can wake up the display.
I can wak up the display by pressing the volume button or the on/off and the camera button, but in no way with the home button.
Do you can?

It kind of sucks. Solution with holding multitasking button was better, because now you have to press button in the right moment and it takes a while to learn it.

I agree it sucks, I have an otter box on my Galaxy Nexus and its practically impossible to press it in the right spot... Google aggregates me by changing the UI for no reason, the press-and-hold power and tap the screenshot option seemed much easier to me.
Is there a way to change this without a third-party app?
it maybe different with nexus, but I was looking for the same option with my Xperia (have a custom Rom, but standard 4.2 system)
I bypassed the power + volume option, by going to settings/system/power menu, and ticked 'screenshot'
hopefully you have this option in settings too
