You need to press the button at the same time.It must work.

Got me puzzled for two weeks. The button combination seemed to be not working. But I was interpreting the instructions differently. Not only the combination of the buttons is important, but also the timing. Push them as if it were just one button, not as a key combination.

The trick is not just pushing the buttons at the same time, but /together/ at the same time. You will need to push them at once. The time of pushing the volume down button and the power button must be equal.

I would push the volume down button and then push the power button (ending up pushing them both at the same time) and nothing happened. The correct way is not only pushing them together but start pushing them both together as if it were just one button you are pushing.

Hope this helps some people that got stuck like me.

Hi...earlier i wasn't knowing to take screen shots without any app..but this is working without any apps..you should press volume down and power button simultaneously.. Not one after another... That works..i am using latest jb 4.3 os( with latest update) thanks..

I don't want to press two buttons at the same time to take screen shots! If you do it for several times, the buttons will get damaged!! PLEASE PUT SCREEN CAPTURE OPTION BACK ON THE POWER BUTTON!!!
