Want to show off your games high score in your HTC One X to others? Or capture screenshot of HTC One X to write at blog just like me? Taking screenshot on HTC One X is as simple as ABC. No root access is needed like older Android 2.3 Gingerbread version. In addition, you have 2 methods to take HTC One X screenshot ~ HTC method and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich method.
How to take screenshot on HTC One X?
HTC Method
Press and hold Power button and then press Home button. The screenshot will be added to DCIM folder then.
Android 4.0 ICS Method
Press Power button and Volume Down button at the same time. The screenshot will be added to Pictures/Screenshots folder then.
Both methods store screenshot in PNG lossless format. So no worry about picture quality. Just choose the combo keys that you prefer.
Thank you for this! I was worried nobody would have posted it online seeing as the phone is so new.
lol, it’s written in the manual liao…fact : most of the new users don’t read the manual, but they actually don’t know anything about their new phone…instead ,they google it..haha
hahaha totally agree.. and im one of them -_-
I get a pic of the shut down options….. đ what am I doing wrong please?
Oops its ok, I just needed to practise….
Android 4 = screenshots finally! Huzzah!
Glad it doesnât auto-correct-fail like an iThing though:)
And yes, Power+Home on my HTC Incredible S is the way to go.
Quick press is screenshot of current; press and hold for a little longer to get a choice of which running app you wish to take a screenshot. Naughty but nice!

update- oopsie, the press and hold is just the recent task list, not screenshot choice.
my bad.
[Power-volume down] doesn’t work for me, [power-home] does. So I can only take screenshots into my camera folder. If I hold [power-volume down], the phone takes a crap and shuts down, with an error message about unexpected shutdown at restart.
HTC One X, Android 4.0.4, fully updated.
The power and volume down, does not work on the HTC One X. It is disabled.
