Most Android phones require Root access and/or an app in order to be able to take a screenshot of your phone’s display. Well, that’s not the case on the HTC Amaze 4G! HTC was kind enough to provide the ability to take a screenshot easily without any third-party software! You heard correctly… no root or third-party paid app required. This method is totally free and simple! Just follow the steps below to start taking screen shots on your HTC Amaze 4G.
Instructions:
1. Hold down the POWER button and then press the HOME button.
2. That’s it! Seriously, it’s that easy! You’ll see a message appear on the screen that says “screenshot saved to Camera shots”. You can then go to your Gallery app to see the screenshots that you have captured.
Now go try it out and start capturing some cool images of your Android screens! Leave us a comment if you have any questions.

So freakin simple, I feel like an idiot for not figuring it out. Thank you so much.
I tried home button with volume keys but I didnt think to try home button. Well well….
You are not the only one. Lol. Thanks for this tip!
Wow.. easy and now I’m even happier with the amaze. A heads up to those who have trouble. You press them simultaneously. Press poemwer then home at sane tine…
Excellent! I have actually taken several screen shots with my Amaze 4G BY MISTAKE and had no idea how I’d done it. LOL. Thanks for the tip! This will be very useful.
I did the same thing! I couldn’t figure out how I had done it!
Thanks a ton! I’ve done this accidentally as well and really wanted to know how. When I saw the market was flooded with shit apps or paid ones I was disconcerted at best but knew it was possible. This was my proof! Thanks again, you’ve made a blogger quite thrilled.
oh, and…
SUCK IT IPHONE!
Priceless tip. I’ve been looking for a way to take screenshots on my Amaze ever since I got it. I was sitting on the couch tonight and accidentally took a screenshot, and boy did I get excited… and then I got frustrated because I couldn’t duplicate what I did to take it. I looked around on Google, found this little blurb, and I am one happy Amaze owner. Thank you!
Awesomee ! Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was so easy it took me awhile but it did work ok. Thanks for your help.
I LOVE YOU!!!
Thank you much ! I figured it would be simple. I was only pressing the wrong keys. I am so happy now!!!!
I DID THE SAME THING BY ACCIDENT ONCE AND JUST ABOUT SCREAMED. I WAS LIKE WOAH WTF. AND I NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT AGAIN. THANKS FOR SHARING. I FEEL KIND OF RETARDED KNOWING THAT IT WAS SO SIMPLE THIS WHOLE TIME LOL
Very cool…I accidentally had done it with my previous phone(sensation) but now that I know how to do it, its cool…any more lessons?
Haahaa! That is so easy. I did it by accident the other night and was wondering how it happened. It is so easy! Thank you!
I almost paid 4 bucks for an app before reading this. Thanks a bunch!
Works great just like my iPod Touch. It won’t capture a single-frame of video, however, but that is not a big deal. Thanks for the instruction.
Why is my HTC sensation taking screen shots without me trying …I press home to leave an app. And it automatically takes a screenshot..I have to press back to exit..so annoying!!!
Thank You!!!

Thank you so much! I’ve had my Amaze 4G for two years now and am STILL discovering its capabilities!
Thank u
It doesn’t work. I have tried to press both at the same time–didn’t work. I have tried to hold the off button, and then hit home and all that did was send me home and then turn off the phone.
