Hi All,
Which apps do you guys use for screenshots on the Sensation? Are they PC based like all the ones I've found (that don't require rooting)?
Use the android SDK
I know in the sensation and pyramid leaks that we use if you press home and power at the same time it takes one...

Hello,
I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for taking screenshots (doesn't require rooting).
Link to app for PC (Windows):
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
Link to client (install on phone):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&feature=search_result
Works great via USB, didn't try over Bluetooth or WiFi (don't need right now).
To connect Android Phone, after install on Your PC, in Options, select "Device with Google Android OS" instead of "Sony Ericsson Phone with modem interface".
To take screenshot, go to "Additional" and select "Upload screenshot". Small window will appear, where You can see what Your phone actually displays, click on "Save as..." and You're done!
This app is powerfull to sync all data with Outlook, send SMS from Your PC, install *.apk applications from Your PC, make backups and stuff...
MPE works great over Wifi, though you can only take screenshots while over USB. Beats HTC Sync since that kept duplicating my contacts.
The Sense screenshot ability is commented out in build.prop

I'm guessing that'd be the "hold power & press home" screenshot feature? the HTC support page for the Sensation actually had an FAQ on how to do screenshots for a few days & then was taken down.

Ha look at that. I guess they forgot to not post that. They also left in the documentation about voice dial even tho tmobile took it out. It's a shame they disabled the screenshot ability. if you read above, someone found that htc commented out the function in some file.

Before I start another thread I'll ask here. I'm rooted using Sence & I've tried to take screenshots with shootme, drocap2, etc., but I always get fuzzy blurry images?? Any ideas?

Actually it does work.... U don't need an app. The sensation has the screenshot function built in the phone. Just hold down the power button THEN hit the home key. That should take your screenshot and saved in your camera shots folder. I just took a screenshot of my phone 10mins ago. Hope this helps.

Definitely works for me now that I have 2.3.4, but when I had 2.3.3 it didn't work... Maybe that's the difference?

Maybe it is...the idea came from when I read the article on the evo 3d doing it this way since the update. And I figured....why jot try it with mine....and sure enough it worked...I also am on 2.3.4 so not sure if it would have worked before since I can't try it anymore lol. But glad is working for you.

I used that app before...but it took choppy screen shots with lines going across them...and whenever I restarted my phone it reverted all the settings..I had to reconnect to the comp and redo everything...although the built in screenshot on the sensation does not have the option as the apps do...but it'll do the trick and its free lol. Can't beat that.
It does leave lines on the home screen but everywhere else, texts, apps, etc it works fine for me. If you reboot you do have to use the pc to re-enable it.

in 2.3.3 the functionality was in the build.prop but was commented out so that it wouldn't actually work
So I have something funky going on. When someone calls me my phone rings. Do you think its defective? Should I return it? Also my power button is crooked and slants over to one side. Its a moving part and moving parts shouldn't do this right? I mean buttons shouldn't have any play right?? :-D Sorry I couldn't help myself. Hahahahha

My phone has done this once or twice before but my solution to this was draggin the green "answer" button to the circle. It stops the ringing and whoever is calling ends up on the phone and you can hear them.
Not too difficult. I mean HTC should have fixed this issue before they even released the phone
Lmao. My phone is also defective. When I press the button with a house on it, it closes the app. Soooooooo annoying.

Lighten up.. In a perfect world everything would be perfect, but we dont live in a perfect world. If you look at EVERY single device there will always be issues with some units. I happen to not have any major issues with my sensation. My wifi drops a little when I hold it landscape but it's not horrible and oesnt drop the connection. any other issue I have are all software related glitches. If you look at every forum people complain about issues on every device. I was just making light of it because people seem to have major OCD. If you didnt think the thread was funny you shouldnt have even bothered reading it or replying. NOTHING is perfect in this world yet we expect everything to be perfect. Come back when you remove the stick out of your ass..

Apparently, HOME button is supposed to teleport you back home, but gets confused because it doesn't know where you live and take you to HOMESCREEN instead (dumb thing, with all the gps and location services it should know where i charge it and sleep). Rumours are that this is going to be fixed with update in August. If it's not, there is always a DEV for that.
EDIT. I think we should start a petition for that, HTC seems to do anything we want if we put enough pressure on them, so they might push this bugfix sooner.
I returned mine and went back to my rooted and ROM'd vibrant and I don't regret it....BUT I'm considering waiting maybe another month or until we get full root and S-OFF to maybe give the sensation another chance. I wanted to like the phone, I really did, but didn't feel that the sensation in it's current stock state was really what I wanted. Either way...it's a GREAT multimedia phone and web surfer, kinda crappy at being an actual phone tho in my opinion...

Please explain, I've had zero issues as far as the device functioning as a phone.
On a side not, it's really driving me nuts that when press the "loose" button at the top my stupid phone keeps showing me the current weather with all these highly functional shortcut options on how to unlock. Anyone know how to change that? I want it to be stupid and work like an iphone!
Hi
To those of have already updated your sensations to 2.3.4 could you confirm this
Simply hold the Power button and tap the Home key.
Your screen should flash and a toaster notification will inform you that the image has been saved to your camera (DCIM) folder
The screenshot will appear in "Camera shots" in Gallery.
This is apparently the same as the SGS2

Yep, this is working on 2.3.4.
This has been mentioned already and confirmed
It worked for me OP.
Working since 2.3.3 no need to start a new thread.

Discovered this by accident.
By coincidence I came to press the power on/off button quickly followed by pressing Home button and the phone took a screenshot of my screen.
It is a non rooted phone HTC Desire S, software version 2.10.401.8 with Sence 3.0, Andriod 2.3.5 ... thought I'd share it with you.
Do not know if it's a new thing, but I did not know that you could take screenshots without root?

Don't take all this mocking to heart buddy... we're all just pulling your leg. I know you feel that this us a super secret that you discovered all by yourself... but this function is stock on HTC sense since version 3.0..... Sometimes its better to just accept such foot-in-mouth situations graciously rather than make unsuccessful attempts at justifying your inaccurate statement. We're all human and allowed to make mistakes...

I am using Clean Rom 4.0 and I have search that forum many time looking for an answer.
Since the One X did away with the menu button, how do you access the menu in that that Rom.
For example, I have no way of closing my audible app now because is doesnt have a soft menu key in that app.
I used the muiu rom and it had the menu key to the right of the multitasking key. But alas, this rom does not do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy 4th!
the multitask button becomes menu and holding down home gets you the multitask function The way GOD intended
You apparently didn't search at all, your answer is on the first page
