i have been trying to screenshot with the HOX and i dont want to have to use an app, anyone know how to do this?
Or press the power and home buttons together.

Press power and tap Home (while power is down) then let them both up immediately. It will work 100% of the time
Power and volume Down is not the correct way, nor is it even mentioned in the manual.
dang.. unfortunately not the case for me. I was even a bit too generous with my previous comment. I just spent literally 5 minutes trying to do a screen grab using either method, and finally managed to get one with the home button technique. So that was probably about 30-50 attempts, with just one being successful. I hate to be that guy, but it may be time to trade this thing in for an s3 or nexus.
Power button and volume down is the official Ice Cream Sandwich way to do this. I'm 99% sure Google showed this off when they showcased the GNex at the ICS announcement.

The Evo4GLTE you use the power button and low volume, The HOX use the power holding in and pressing the home button.

I've used both methods, but I stopped using the Power Button + Home version, since it saves it directly into your camera picture folder.
Power + Vol Down saves it into its own "Screenshots" folder. But that's the organizational OCD side of me showing.
Swipeing the side of my hand from left to right across the entire screen also works on my galaxy note. Not sure if it would work on the HTC.

I seriously cannot believe that I'm going back and forth on this... I understand there may be another way to do the screenshot, but Google set the standard with the power button + volume down. I use this method every day on my HOX (AT&T version). Not once have I used the power button + home button method.
Per Google's documentation on advising 2.3 users on the new stuff with 4.0:
You can now easily capture screenshots directly on your phone: press Power and Volume (Down) simultaneously. The screenshot is saved automatically, and the Screenshot icon appears in your status bar. Touch the notification to view your screenshot in Gallery.

Also as seen in the ICS keynote (as I stated earlier) here.
Please.
Lets stick to the HOX here and not muddy the waters with what works elsewhere.
This is an HTC phone running Sense. It's not Samsung running touchwiz, and its not pure Google.
