Oh I see... In CM10 builds I guess there is such an option... I don't think stock's supposed to do that... maybe had other mods which messed up your keymaps...

Also, you must press both of them at the same time. (not like Windows where you can press one first and one later)

Are you doing it simultaneously? Give it like a second or two before releasing

press the power button first and the the volume down button...and then wait for your INSTANT WIN!!
need to press them the same time. its a little tricky at the start but you'll get used to it.
or you can just get an app that will do it for you

no point in installing useless apps that consume memory when its in the OS natively. its not that difficult to press two buttons at the same time and getting it right. once you do it once or twice, you'd get the hang of it and all is good.
either that or flash a custom rom and u can add the screenshot button on your long press power button menu.

It works for everyone. All you have to do is push them at the same time. Power + volume down. Hold for like three seconds. If it doesn't work hold for five seconds.

It's very tricky. I said the same thing when I was doing it on my galaxy Nexus but got the hang of it.
Place your hand on the volume down and power button before pressing them and then hold them both at the same time until your phone makes a screen shot animation.
I will give Samsung this though the slide to screen shot is very intuitive on the touch wiz platform.

Oh so that's why. Since the new diztronics cover the buttons, it's probably not being pressed correctly.

Tell that to the people who had difficulties
It is tricky at the beginning but like I said over again and again, once you know how to do it. It's not tricky and is very easy to do. I understand depending what case they have on it may be trickier because the case covers the buttons that all of us overlooked
Screen shot working on Nexus 4 after trying this!!!!
Press Volume down button and power button until phone get restarted. then you able to take screen shots.
It worked for me.

Try first powering off your phone. I had a little issue and i could not get the shutting down menu after several attempts, the phone restarted it self and after it was up, I was able to take screenshots without any difficulties.

My nexus had the same problem... and yes, I know how to take screenshots...
But by doing this the problem was solved... thanx man!

Navigation bar vanished... Please help!

I installed an app called Full screen and it worked pretty well until I disabled it. At that point, my navigation bar did not come back and it's stayed hidden since. I've rebooted a few times and reinstalled the app but nothing's making the navigation bar appear.
I'm desperate not to have to wipe the tablet and start again so can anyone please suggest anything?

Download GMD gesture control (adds in multitouch pinching gestures like on the iPad) and enjoy the fact that you no longer have that screen wasting bar across your screen. The navigation bar was the first thing I removed when I got this tablet.
Seriously?
I'm always grateful for any help offered but that's like a doctor telling you to chop your arm off after you go to him with tennis elbow.

I'm not really sure what that is but can I restore it with a factory reset?

If you mean flashing back to stock: yes that should work.
If you mean clicking factory reset in recovery mode: probably not

That's the warp drive indicator. If you didn't connect your Bluetooth flux capacitor dongle its not going to do anything.
Lol! Its where you would activate Google now.

OK I realize the other guy is joking, but are you serious? I did just enable it before this happens. Why would the screen be locked up?

That icon is for Google Now. Swipe up (on a not frozen tablet) and it launches Now. I would just long press power and turn it back on if it's frozen. Not sure why it froze in the first place though.

Are you by chance using theftspy? I (at least used to) get this a LOT with theftspy... Its app is sitting "on top" but invisible in some cases.
I have restarted several times and went into recovery mode or whatever its called and tried the restart bootloader option and tried going into recovery. When i go into recovery it says (no command).Nothing will unfreeze it.

Never mind I just returned and swapped it for a new device.

Touch the ok button.
It's not possible to turn that off on the stock ROM. There are some custom ROMs having that feature though.
Settings>Sound>Safe Headset Volume.
Xposed Framework + ModaCo toolkit lets you turn that off.

Don't think so. Not for me (running stock) anyway.

Nope. Don't think you can change it with the stock rom.
