Take Screenshots On ICS Without App

[codeseven]

So since we all recently were upgraded to ICS, I thought it would be just a good idea to post this. We are now able to take screenshots on ICS without the need of a 3rd party app.

All you have to do is hold the volume down button and the power button down at the same time for about 1 second and it will take a screenshot and save it to your gallery under a folder named Screenshots.

Hope this helps some of you out!

Hmmm... I didn't know that way worked as well... not only does that work, most newer HTC and Samsung phones have done this for a while with (and the Rezound did it with GB, so do most Samsungs). Just hold Power and tap Home, simple as that and it saves it to Camera Shots.

Oh wow I think I like that way better, hah. Especially since I've always thought the volume buttons on the Rezound are too far embedded in. Thanks bud.

Good to know, since it puts ithe screenshot in a separate folder instead of camera shots. Excellent!

I was able to do this before getting ICS, using the same method.
Nevermind, not that method, had to hold the home key and press the power button, that's how I did it before the update.

Yeah, many Samsung and HTC's have had this capability for some time. Motorolas and LGs are different though, haven't figured them out yet, then again I haven't really tried either.

My daughter had the LG Lucid and she was able to take screenshots by pressing the home key and the power key at the same time.
