How do I upload my screenshot from my G2x?

Press home key then at the same time press power button .

I wonder how this process would work on the Dell Streak?[Hide]

Doesn't work.

It sure does.

Unless you're using a different varient that does not support it or you're rooted and have to do it some other way.

Doesnt work on a G2x running the latest Cynanogen 7 nightly either.

If I remember correctly, with Cyanogen you have to press and hold the power button and press on "screenshot."

Now, I don't know why, but every time I take a new one, it won't show up in my camera shots. When I look at the file in the app "Astro", the picture isn't available. What's going on here?

on my stock G2x all i do is what my buddy did on his sensation. Push home and power at the same time. Click. Pic.

I have a Samsung Stratosphere phone.

I tried the Power + Home button & although I get the "snapshot" sound, and a white border that flickers a moment, it comes up & says, "Unable to capture screen. Try again." which I do. Multiple times. No joy. And if I DO get it to take a screenshot, where does the file reside?

Thanks!

Okay....figured it out. But thought I'd leave this up in case someone else ran into this. I had my USB plug inserted. Once I unplugged it, the screenshot feature ran fine.
And easy enough...screenshots in a folder called...."Screenshots".

Thanks for the tip!!
