Maybe this is a silly question, but I didn't find an answer yet..
So: How is it possible to create a screenshot on a non-rooted device?

Power + Volume Down. It's included in every ICS device.

It most definitely does. Hold them down for like 2-3 seconds. If it doesn't work your volume down or power keys are broken.

Power button + volume down button, at the same time. It works on every device that has Ice Cream Sandwich, yours included.

That was the point... I've holded it just for under a second... i'm such an idiot
Thank you very much!
cool
No, it doesn't work every device with ICS. Depends on if the OEM decides to enable that. I know quite a few ICS devices that don't have this function enabled.
Luckily, it is enabled on the Razr M and I

Here's a silly question,
How do I tell if the N1 is off? Without turning it on?
There have been several times where I've turned it off for the night (force of habit), and later couldn't remember whether or not I had in fact turned it off...
Of course hitting the power button only turns it on if it was in fact off... meaning that I have to wait a whole boot cycle before shutting it down again.
Am I missing something here?

YES the correct forum.. Nexus One Q&A
For all your questions about the Google Nexus One
... but in answer to your Q, perhaps a momentary press of the power button when it is OFF will not turn it on. There fore it is OFF?

Use the trackball to wake mod. Then you can just hit the trackball, if nothing, the phone is off .
Hit the volume keys...
dang, absolutely correct. moved to other forum.

Anybody know why I'm missing recovery since I rooted? I get the little Droid guy with the exclamation point but I can't get recovery to come up.

That itself is the recovery. There's a certain button press combination to bring it up, but it varies from device to device.
Have you tried this link?

Yeah but it won't bring up recovery. Before root volume up and power "I think " but I tried it with and without power Now it don't. Could there be a different combination now?
Do you know what you did that lost it. And you should be able to do fastboot flash recovery
Idk. Only thing I've done besides flashing images is fooling around with xposed stuff
OK guys tbh I found this out today at work and haven't really had time to really check it out. I just went into it again and this is really strange. For some reason I now have to "hold" the buttons quite a bit longer. "Like between 5 & 10 seconds" but it does come up. That kinda makes me a little nervous tho. Don't like that. Makes me think somethings not quite right.

You hold down the volume up button. While holding volume up, tap the power button and that should bring up the menu. You don't really have to hold the volume up button that long. Hold it for like 3 seconds then tap the power button and it should work. It does that way on mine.

Oh. So it must have came up when I LET GO of the power button after holding it. And I just thought holding is what did it. Gotcha. Well I feel stupid! :silly: LMAO

Yea, you shouldn't hold the power button because you'll force the device to reboot. lol

Hi, I wanted to ask if in your p9 the volume button wobbles
Yes, compared to the power button the volume button is a little loose but I don't think it's defective...

Thanks, I thought it was a problem only of my device :good:
The volume when you press the keys lowers normal or suddenly? I noticed this flaw, sometimes lowers and raises normally at other times just press and it also lowers too.
no one else noticed this bug?
Mine wobbles too, but power is more ridged.

So it is a problem of all!
And sometimes when you press the volume buttons it rises and falls abruptly?
I've tested five different devices in five different stores and all of them had nearly the same loose volume button. So I think it's a general "problem". This is not a good build quality for this price.
Abrupt volume rising generally appears when the phone was set to mute or vibration by the quick settings shortcut. As soon as you hit the volume button the volume jumps back to the level it was before the phone was muted.
My volume button doesn't wobble.
And it happens this problem? Of course I do not keep the buttons pressed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=neGc3-aMjss

Well, this looks definitely like a bug! That's not normal and has nothing to do with the feature I mentioned before.
Did someone with the loose volume key try to replace his phone on warranty?
Is this really a defect or do we have to live with it?

No, I haven't noticed this behavior, yet. The only problem I'm facing is the loose volume button. Functionality is absolutely normal.

Did you try replacing your phone because of the volume key?
Do you have the silver or the grey version? Maybe it's related to this...

I have not asked for a replacement. I have the gray version, why?
The problem creates youtube, if you end app and delete data of the app the volume returns to work properly ...
Is normal
Mine is P9 gold and has also loose volume key . It is a normal behavior
I also have the loose volume button. (mine is EVA-L19)
I asked the store about the issue and they showed me a couple of devices. All of them have had the same button. Don't worry about it. My previous Honor 7 had the same issue.
I miss the embedded recorder and screenshot!
Does anyone have any ideas? I did find an app on GP for recording (prefer embedded) but have not had any luck with finding a screenshot that actually works...
tis,
gbh
Screenshot is suppose to be power button + volume down. Works for me.

Caused by datamining. The dev's at Google know about the use of features. The majority seems not to use this.
Same with a dark theme. It is easy to embed. But it's not in Android.
We are probably a minority.
@Getabiggerhammer:
Screenshot: Power + Volume Down
Screen Record: Power + Volume Up
@NLBeev: They're still present. The devs at Google simply can't code their way out of wet paper bags.
Thanks everyone,
Yes I tried the volume down+power and the volume down+ home neither seem to work though. If I knew how to root my old plum phablet it had an extra button added to take snaps that worked flawlessly on 4.2. I was hoping someone might know of code floating around somewhere or an app, but then that might not help me anyway since there must be some other issue going on if you all can get it to work and I cant.

You just have to press the two buttons at exactly the same time, and keep them pressed for around half a second. It won't work if you happen to press either button a little bit before the other.

Also is there any way to change material you colors in Google apps?

Yeah but is this posibble to use it as normal power button?

but could not find a way other than volume + and power

Hi. I am also thinking of buying this. Did you check the mic issue while recording? Many say it comes as muffled cz of low bitrate. Please check and let me know.

At least try to look in the Settings guys, and don't just say "not possible" if you don't know it.
It's only two steps deep in the Settings, annoyed me aswell.
Go to SETTINGS --> SYSTEM SETTINGS --> ON-OFF-BUTTON
It was not possible to set power button behavior until recent updates, I think it was added in version A18 from two months ago.
