so I get better results pushing both buttons at the same time, but it still goes to sleep enough to get me annoyed. I don't think its this phone either as my old one does this too. is this some bug?is there a work around or tips to get it to take screenshots 100% of the time instead of going to sleep 25% of the time.
Thanks!
Pressing the home button and power button at the same time works 100% of the time for me...it's only one I hit one or the other slightly before that I ever get an issue like this, but it happens so infrequently I never really pay attention.
Which phone are you using? The only thing I can think of is if you're using the iPhone 5/5S that your power button may be becoming unresponsive, and could be causing the issues (as those two models had common power button failures).
