Hi guys and gals,
I bought my wife the A100 a month or so ago and she loves it. One thing is puzzling me though. I was under the impression that with ICS you could take screenshots by holding the volume down button and the power button for one second. This doesn't work on hers. Am I doing something wrong?
It's volume Up + Power Button (in portrait mode) and volume Down + Power Button (in landscape mode). Hold it for about a second,and try to press them together also.
Good luck!

Thanks. I think what I was doing wrong was I was pressing and holding and waiting for something to happen before I let go. Instead all I had to to was press for about a second then let go, then it snaps the screenshot. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which has the (love it or hate it) Touchwiz UI with a screenshot button, so this was new to me. Thanks again.
I failed. I cant take screesnhot :/
Thanks for the tip, it works great, I was using Screenshot ER PRO.
Is your A100 rooted? Install AirDroid from the Play Store. It allows you to manage your tablet via a browser on your PC including taking screenshots. The connection is wireless via your Wifi network.

Hello fellows,
I have question about screenshots in SGS2. How I can take them? Only by special application, connecting it to PC via HDMI cable or another? I was just wondering to take some pictures from Galaxy on Fire 2 and Reckless Racing
Thanks and greetings.
Press Menu and Power at the same time.
shoot me on the market is good too. sometimes i want to take a screenshot while pressing a button and cant with the built in screenshot feature so i use shoot me.

Press both at same time is actually right. You can hold HOME and press POWER and release POWER and stay holding HOME though.
I'm using "screen capture" on the market
here's the link

HOME + POWER works like a charm, no root required, no need to install any additional apps

Hallelujah! I never got that, was pressing both buttons simultaneously which just locked the screen. This works better, though still not every time like on iOS.
Is there anyway to take a screen shot without loading any other apps.
(I'd try power btn + vol down but seems like it doesn't work.)
Power Button and Vol. Down
works for me
try again, begin with power button first

Thank you very much, but when i press(hold) the power btn, then the menu pop up and when I press more on the volume down, the sound level still opened!
Is there any response or any notice when the screen was taken?
You have to press and hold both buttons at the same time.
Power + vol down
It makes cam noise ,gives preview and notification in notification bar
Good luck

Hi is right!
Hold and wait!
wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.
I was in the process of rooting my Samsung S3 with Odin3, everything was going well, I was following the steps from theunlokr.com .. it looked like all the processes were done but at the end the screen never came on. I keep pressing the power button still don’t turn on. I hold the 3 buttons at the same time (Vol Up+Home+Power) nothing happen.
I press the on/off button and it plays the start up ring shows the Samsung logo and then it goes black.
Can anyone help please, I hope I can fix it ASAP, need my phone for work. Can't understand what went wrong.
Need your help
Thank you!!
First mistake was using a site other than XDA to root your phone. Pull the battery and hold the power putton for about ten seconds. Put the battery back in, hold the down volume button + the home button + the power button until you feel it vibrate and then let go of the power button while holding the home and volume down buttons. It should go into download mode and ask you to confirm by pressing the up volume button. If this works then using Odin on the computer to flash back to stock rooted.

Some solid ROMs include: CNA (codenameandroid), Kyan, CM.
I used to use BlackJelly as my daily-driver, but couldn't do without the AllShareCast functionality, so I'm back to stock-rooted, until I find a ROM that both looks awesome and supports AllShareCast.
I don't know if there is that have changed for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra but I am not able to capture the screen of my mobile phone. If I hold the power button it goes to the power off screen (as I have configure the side keays). But if I hold power + volume down buttons, it goes the same way (power off screen). The volume down button works properly using it alone. Is there any change on the Note 20 Ultra to capture screen by buttons? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year all
I've just used volume - with power and screen captured with no issues on latest ui3 official Three UK

Thanks for your help! I found my mistake in other forum. I just post it, just in case it happend to anyone else. I tried to hold both buttons, power + volume down. But I shouldn't hold them, just push then quickly. That didn't happen that way in my old S10
Happy New Year!
There is another option that my better half like to use to take screenshots. You can use your palm and swipe from the left edge to the right edge.
Its the option in Settings -> Advance Features - > Motion and gestures -> Palm swipe to capture
Thank you. I just registered for saying this.
I was trying to get a screenshot with my new Samsung Galaxy M23 for quite some time, with no avail.
Just clicking and letting go, not continuing to press solved it.
