ICON - 8.1 - Screenshot Capture

[MadDogFL62]

It appears that WP 8.1 changes the way you take a screenshot. Rather than holding down the start button and power button, 8.1 wants you to hold down the volume up button and power button. I have been doing this on my ICON - no screenshot since loading 8.1. Anyone else having this problem?

It's working fine for me. I did prefer power button + home screen, though.

Plz do a soft reset nd restart the phone it worked for me that way.

Good suggestion prasath1234. The soft reset worked - along with launching the camera. No screenshot with only the reset, but after hitting the camera button, launching the camera, then closing out the camera app - the power button / volume up was enabled and created the screen shot. Thanks!

Any way to change this method? My vol. Up is broken so I can't use this feature.

I hope there is another way, like swapping with palm, or press with palm. Or option how to do screen capture.

This part is the most annoying change.

Highly doubt that Microsoft will implement the ability to change the screenshot shortcut. Now developers can take the shortcut into account and assign other shortcuts to certain tasks. If a user could choose a screenshot shortcut, developers could run into problems with some users that have assigned the exact same shortcut keys to screenshots.
