Hold Volume Down button and Lock button!
You can't take screenshots like on Android 2+.

You have to place your palm on the side of the screen and cross it to the other side.

I know this way but I want to use Home button + power button screenshot. – user1798362 Feb 27 at 8:00

If you are using stovk ROM then you can try this.

From HOME
1. Click the MENU button and select SETTINGS.
2. Select MOTION.
3. Under “Hand Motion” settings, check “Palm swipe to Capture” checkbox.

just swipe your palm horizontally(L-->R/R-->L) over your screen it will capture a screen shot.

OR

HOLD down the POWER button and the HOME button at the same time. (Remember timing is imporatant)

The problem solved. it would meant to be "Home" + "Back" + "Power".
