Start, Settings, Buttons.... mine shows three options but, there isn't three physical buttons. Anyone else?
Cheers
Camera, vol up long press, vol down long press
Damn, also wondered about that
thx
Yes, it's confusing, it"s the long press on vol up/down.
Do yourself a favor and try AEButtons, fantasctic app !
man that took me 72 hours to figure it out!!!!

is there a way to change the holding time from 3-4 seconds which is very annoying to 2-1?? maybe a registry key or somethin?
thanks!!
Just received my N10 - 16GB and was trying to figure out how to take a screenshot. From everything I read it's, Hold Power Button + Vol Down. That didn't work. It was just as if I held down the Power Button by itself and it gave me the popup window for Power Off / Airplane Mode.
I then realized that the Vol Down is actually in the top position, closest to the Sleep/Power and Vol up is in the bottom. Is this normal? I don't recall the Nexus 7 having the volume buttons reversed.
Also, trying to take a screen shot still doesn't work for me. Anyone having these issues?
Thanks,
The tablet is designed for landscape use.....so at the top left of the tablet is Power, Volume - and then Volume +
Press and HOLD both Power and Volume - at the same time, it takes a few seconds (about 2.5 seconds based on doing it right now and counting LOL).
Do not press one then the other. Put your fingers over both then press at the same time.

Much appreciated the quick answer. From my other Android devices, it was either hold power/sleep first then either Vol down or Home button. I tried your suggestion and it works now. Even gives an audible tone.
Anybody else find this really awkward?
It'd be much better if I could do a screenshot by holding the power button down and tapping the home button. Much like the One X etc.
Are there any apps i can dl from the play store or a mod i can flash to make my life easier ? holding the power and home button maybe works 2 out of 10 tries.

If you're on stock TW, you can enable palm gestures and swipe from left to right. If you're on a custom ROM, chances are there is an option to add "take screenshot" to the extended power menu accessed by holding the power button.
Try this
In my experience you have to hold the buttons for a second or two; it's not a quick "click" -- it's a press, hold, release.
Power Button + Home button works for me 99% of the time. Just make sure to press them at the exact same time and hold until it takes the screenshot...
The wave your palm over the phone gesture is the one that sucks, in my opinion. That one works less than 50% of the time for me and I see no reason to ever enable it when you can just press Power Button + Home easily...

Agreed. When I swipe to take a screenshot, many times it changes the page and then takes the pic! Maybe I just need to perfect my technique. When I do the power/home button trick, I make sure to press the power button just before I hit the home button and that seems to work well for me.

I agree - anytime the palm swipe has worked for me is if my phone is laying on a flat surface, the screen is completely clean and i really focus on setting my hand on the edge and quickly swiping. Most times I just turn the page or move the screen.
Holding Home + Power Button is the way to go.
If may work better for anyone having trouble with the button method if you hold the power button with your left hand and the home with your right simultaneously. That's the only way my girlfriend can do it.

+1 ... unless one or both of your buttons have issues with their contacts.
Home and power button is the easiest ever, you must have issues with your buttons...

Use AOKP ROM...its power+volume down
Sent from my SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I flashed the 5.0 OTA update, and everything went smoothly. Lollipop is working well, but I was going to flash the incremental updates so I can have 5.0.1.
Everything works until I try the button combo to get recovery to start. I press VOL DOWN + Power, get into fastboot mode, boot into recovery and I can see the Android with red triangle. However, when I press VOL DOWN + VOL UP and then tap the Power button, nothing happens.
Any advice?
It takes a couple times of pressing power volume up

I've tried it multiple times, but the options still don't come up.
EDIT: Nevermind, I had to wait for a couple minutes and then I button mashed it and the options finally came up. Thanks!
I observed the same thing. Its a crapshoot... Looks like a bug in lollipop.
The button combination changed on Lollipop.
Hold the power button 4-5 secs and tap the volume up button.
Hit thanks

is that what it is? I've been holding both power and vol+ for about 5 secs and the menu pops up when i let go. Not that this is useful info, I just need to get some posts.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow, lol. Thanks for this!
For KitKat recovery, the button sequence is: hold down UP and then press POWER
For Lollipop recovery, the button sequence is: hold down POWER and then press UP

Found it:
Long press volume/power (is one knob) button, press reset with pen or paperclip keep both for 5 seconds. Then release reset, hold volume/power button 1 second longer. Release volume/power button and push it short again. Now unit boots to recovery mode.
Short press to go to item of your choice, long press to select.

Your right, volume button en powerbutton are the same button, its power and volume button in one. I will edit my post.
A video is at this moment not possible.
