Either power button and home or power and volume down. Same thing, they just save to different locations. (All to the gallery though)

For some reason the power button + volume down does not take a screen shot, but power button + home does allow a screen shot to be taken.

Power button + volume down does work it is just tricky. You have to press them at the same time or it won't work. Takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it, it becomes pretty easy. This way also saves the screen captures in a separate folder called screenshots so they are easier to find later.

take note to do the power button + vol down you have to hold it for 2 seconds, but the power + home is instant, i do perfer the power + vol down, looks cooler and shows up in the notification bar for quick viewing, and also what icenija said about being in a different folder

Then do power+volume down. It works also. You have to do both at the same time or else it'll lock the phone or decrease ring volume

I've tried both ways they say to take a pic of my screen and it's just not working for me.

Does your power button work for everything else?

**Rana Cottrell** · 02-22-2013, 06:10 AM

It works for putting my phone to sleep.....this phone is rather new to me, but I've always wanted to take a pic of my screen and can't

Press the power button and volume down button at the same time!

Remember what the doormouse said, feed your head!

I was following what everybody else said but it also wasn't working for me. I found the last comment rude so I went to another website and got the correct answer; press the power button down and hold. Right after, press the home button while you are still holding down the power button. Good Luck!

Sorry, just have to ask, what was rude about Cattails_r_Edible's comment? He told you the answer, hold them down at the same time. Was it his use of an exclamation point?
