Alternate screen off? - HTC Incredible S

My power button has taken a Cpl rough bumps. I can use volume wake or sweep to wake to turn it on but what are my options for screen off? Sweep interferes with screenshot so any other suggestions?

Don't sweep all the way to the home button or disable native screenshot in build.prop.

Somewhere here is a thread and down load to map your search key to be a power key. It is brilliant. Short touch turns the screen off. Long press brings up the power options. You them only need your power key to turn the phone on.

Hi, just providing you some other alternative if you would like to know.
Run the following command in terminal emulator, it simulates the key press event.
Code:
$Su
#input keyevent 6
Ive created the same as a app, if you would like to have will share you. Im unable to upload via Mobile xda app

What does that do?

Well, you have to hold the back key and the home key (center button). After that you'll hear a camera shutter sound and your screenshot will be stored in the gallery.

[Q] Vivid can't take screenshots

Hi, I have just root my vivid, but I found I can't take screenshots by pressing either power+home or power+vol.- . is there any other hot keys? Thanks.
One more to ask, is it possible for me to unroot the device and run HTC Sense again? Thanks again for reply.
You have to hold power an volume down for a little bit

Hm. Hold the power button and home button should work. If it doesn't you can always use a third party app to do it.

[q] menu button?

Hi all,
Just a question, the htc does not seem to have a menu button, how does that work exactly?
Moving from an Evo3d on ics, it took me a while to notice the three vertical squares Menu button
Now if only I could find 'running apps' (used to be on the pull down screen)...

Hold down the volume down button and the power button at the same time
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Hey got ya covered.. . its kinda tricky but you hold down power button first and than quickly press volume down button. if that doesnt work hold down power button and quickly tap the home button at the bottom (second option has worked for me about 7 times already)
Power and home button.

Actually the volume button works fine. Thats how ive been getting screenshots, holding power and vol down.
Using the volume button actually gives you a nifty preview/quick link in your notification panel as well

So you can do it both ways? That is so weird. why multiple ways to screenshot. BTW screenshots don't work, even with root.

Yup, two ways, and what? Lol they work out of the box.

Im stock rooted and both work. I use the volume as it gives me a quick link to open it.

Power and Home button is the only way I can do it, unless I'm missing something.

You have to hold both the power and volume for a second. Im absolutely stock rooted, and Im going to assume the couple of roms out havent taken out the feature, so it should work on everything.

The power+home is much quicker, but like I said, I like the quick link/preview.

He hit it right on the nail. HTC includes both the stick android method for screen shots and they include their own method which most of us use. The sense method is faster but the stock gives u a preview and it appears in the notification bar. Power+vol. Down is the stock and power+home is the sense method. Both should work straight out of the box if not then ur timing is off
