Help Non-rooted RAZR: How can I take a screen capture

[TheSuperman]

Is there a way to take a screen capture with a none rooted RAZR?

I was able to do it on my Galaxy S, by holding the back button for a few seconds, then pressing the power button.

I found this guide; bit cumbersome since you have to connect to download the sdk and connect to a computer:

[How To] Get Screenshots with Android SDK of Your Unrooted RAZR Desktop

If you are willing to root you can use this method:

No root screenshot it. Jusr Google the apk . You set it up on the pc just the first time

Power button and volume down button at the same time and hold for about 3 seconds..

Once you get Ice Cream Sandwich you can screen shot with volumer rockers and power button. If not ICS you can take snap shots of web pages if you are using Dolphin Broowser, there is an add on called screen cut.

Yeah, I jumped the gun on that one a little, I kinda figured everybody has ics by now.... Opps

Look in "my gallery"...

On my razr once I capture the picture it stays in my notification bar until I check it out..

Sorry for being a newbie, but still not sure how to do this. I tried to hold down the power button, then press the volume button. Also tried the opposite. Also tried pressing both at the same time. Didn't look like anything happened. How do I do this.

Long as have ICS you can press and hold (at the same time) the power and volume down key for about 2-3 seconds and a screen shot will be taken. If you press the power button too soon before the volume down it should do the simulated battery pull.

Push the down volume button and the power button at the same time. Books it for a second and you should hear the shutter. Takes a little practice.

Push the up volume button and the power button at the same time. Books it for a second and you should hear the shutter. Takes a little practice.

Volume down unless your RAZR is different. ;-)

corrected..it is down

That is so cool. Pwr plus vol down did it (Pwr plus vol up did not work on my phone). I'm so thrilled. Thanks for the info. It stored it into internal memory. Any way to have it stored on the SD card? I have it set up so my camera stores pics to the SD card.

I know I can move it later to the SD card, but it would be nice to have it stored there in the first place.

Here are my instructions to myself:

to take screen shot
hold down power & volume down buttons at same time for a few seconds
will hear shutter


go to status bar to see picture
or later, see with
My Gallery; My library
OR
My Files; Pictures; Screenshots
or when connected to computer, look under:
MOT/Pictures/Screenshots

I have not found a way to have the screen shits automatically goto a folder on SD card yet. Hopefully if there is a way someone will chime in as I'd like to set that up also.

Dear god, I hope you meant screen *shots

LMAO!!!!! Now that is funny. Yes, screen shot is what I meant. Darn I and O being too close together when typing fast.

Takes a little practice.

That's no lie.
