Holding down all buttons? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What does holding down the volume buttons, along with the power button at once do to the phone whilst the phone is on? Anything?
I tried to take a screenshot. Worked it out that I only needed to press the power button and down volume key though.

Reflashing the ROM

How to go to the Falshing ROM ? I got the Image from HTC.. and told me to do Vol Down plus Power on..
But I cant make it work ?
Any trick ?
Thanks
Turn the phone off completely.
Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.

That's how you reset to the factory defaults.
What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.

I described a hard reset. I want to know what the other described method does.

It's for flashing your rom.

Screen Capture

Has anyone found a screen capture method for the Nexus 10?
Thanks
I believe it's a button combo that should work with all Jellybean ROM's. Something like holding the power button + volume up for a second I think.
It's power button + volume down button.
Volume down would be the volume button closest to the power button.
Thanks for yor reply. I've tried the power + volume buttons but it doesn't seem to work on my Nexus 10. Have you tried it on your Nexus 10 and got it to work?

I just tested to make sure. Yes it works.
Press Power + Volume Down simultaneously for 3 seconds and it'll snap a photo. It should definitely work.
*edit
Here made a video to give you a tutorial:

Works here ... A bit of timing is involved.
Thanks, I've just tried it again and it does work. I think I missed the confirmation signal.

with device off keep pressing power and volume up for a 3-4 seconds until recovery shows up.
What worked for me is:
Press and hold volume down and the power button
Use volume rocker to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot and you will see Andy on his back.
Press and hold power button and then press volume up.

Is the phone powered on or off initially with your first step?
Power off and then do those steps

Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore

Something just happened to my phone where the touchscreen actions went a little crazy for a second or two and then the Volume Down and Power button don't seem to work anymore.
The Volume Up button still works though...
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to turn off or reboot the device without using the power button?
Volume down, power and home button. All 3.

Thank you!
Actually, I found in this case holding down Volume Down and Power caused the phone to reboot. I wonder if something got stuck...
It happened to me as well and I found some article which said to hold power +down button for some time and it will reboot

Taking screenshots.

Ive noticed that on Aosp roms you take a screenshot by pressing and holding the power button and volume down.
Is there any way to change it to pressing and holding the power button and home button?
I'm on Lineage 14.1 (7.1.1)

I believe this can be changed, but I'm not sure how though.
In past I've used LMT launcher to take screenshots easier.
Why should you change? It's much more comfortable for the hand pressing both volume down and power button
