Not all devices work on that way... I don't own any of those two 
devices, but in my current HTC and in a Samsung I had previously, you 
had to press simultaneously "Power" button and "Home" touch icon.

Pressing both exactly at the same time may be challenging, but I have 
discovered that if you press power and, holding it, you press home with 
little delay, it always works. The inverse procedure, instead, never 
worked...  maybe you can try this on your device; press and hold power, 
and press volume inmediately after.
