Help How to take screenshot?

jojo99 · Aug 18, 2013

It is supposed to be push the power button and the home button at the same time. But this is near impossible to do in synch. Sometimes it takes me 20 tries to get a single shot with the phone shutting off or winding up on the home page but w/o a screenshot.

There must be an easier and more reliable way! Please help.

Did you try home plus volume down? I would imagine that being way easier since hard pressing the power and volume down is easier.

Just tried it. Makes the capture sound but doesn't capture anything.

Using the power button for this sort of thing sucks as the phone keeps getting turned off.

It's power and volume - for a screenshot.

OK, Power + Down volume "seems" to take a screenshot, but where does the file wind up?

When I manage to get the Power + Home button working, the result screenshot winds up with my regular photo's.

Should show up in the gallery, it's stored on your SD card in the screenshot folder.
