how do i take a screenshot with my HTC One android phone?

[Planr]

i can't seem to figure it out. i looked in my settings to see if it might show me what button to press for screen capture, but it didnt tell me anywhere. i managed to take a picture somehow, but i can't seem to do it again. i've tried to take a picture like how i do on my dad's iPhone, but it's not working and keeps sending the phone to sleep mode.

i'm not going to mess with something that is on par with jailbreaking. i'd probably mess something up.

If you won't do that then why is this thread here?

Google it.  It's usually some combination of the hard button keys if you have any.  My Galaxy S2's is the volume down + lock button.

there are some apps that might be able to do this, but then again, for those to work, some older versions need to be rooted or something.

I'm trying it, but it's not working. It doesn't go onto the lock screen anymore, but no pictures are being taken. I tried unplugging it from my computer too, and nothing changed.

Maybe because there are probably other options besides messing with the phone's vital programming (that's more or less bad to mess with in the first place). I'm sure you can respect that I don't want to mess around with something I don't understand, and which sounds like a vital part of the phone's software, right? Also, consider not posting in these type of threads if all you're going to do is dismiss the topic, while never offering any advice. It will solve other's problems, and without the unnecessary drama and negativity.

Uh, I did? What you said didn't make any sense.
