htc sensation screenshot – Google Search

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/02

HTC Sensation on Android 2.3.4, HTC Sense 3.0 and Software version 1.45.401.2. That a software update that came out in late August and early September. It’s possible to take a screen shot without rooting your phone. It’s just a little tricky; press power and menu home at the same time.Sep 7, 2011

In addition: you need to have an SD card inserted. My HTC Sensation forgets it has one every now and then after which you get no errors, just that taking screenshots don’t work any more.
