How can you take a screen shot without using your lock button ?

By using assistive touch to take the screen shot, the assistive touch menu is in the picture.

This is not an effective solution to the problem, at least not in my case, because when you do take the screen shot, the assistive touch menu is shown in the image.

I have the same problem. My iPod is 3G so I don't have screenshot in my asisstive touch menu. Oh by the way my home button is broken. Help me!

Go to your assisted touch menu. Click "device". There should be a "more" option. In that menu, there should be a screenshot button

Hi, Go into your settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch>SwitchOn

Then Open up black dot when it comes up>Device>More>Screenshot

Hooray! Thanks!

Tha for that assistive touch tip. Works great!
