screen shot

I am using Nexus 5x, it was easy to take screen shot on my previous nexus 5 but how it will work on 5x?

Re: screen shot

Volume down+power button should do the trick

Re: screen shot

I've been wondering where the screen shots go. I can take one, I can view it from the pull down menu when it's taken, but once I close it it's not in my photos.

Any idea where the screen shots go? Do you have to share it immediately to keep it?

Should be in the Photos. Have you checked Device Folders there?

Re: screen shot

Yeah, go to the Photos app and select Device folders from the slide out menu. There should be a section for Screenshots.

Alternatively, you can use a file explorer app on your phone or go to settings/Storage & USB/Explore. Under the Pictures folder is a Screenshots folder with all your screenshots.

Thanks aysiu and fredo. They were right where you said. I need to do a lot of exploring.

This definitely does not work (anymore). Maybe there is a change with Nougat? I have a Nexus 5X here with Nougat on it, and you can hold Power on/off and Vol. down as long as you want. First it sets Volume as lowest as it can, then it goes off at all. Nothing more. Any hints on that?

It's just timing. Hit them both at the exact same time and hold for about a second.

You're right. I was doing wrong, when I pressed the power button slightly before the Vol. down button. I didn't realize that timing is so important here. (to be honest, this was confusing me since I had an iPhone where timing doesn't matter). Ok, fine, I think this will help ex apple freaks to understand how it works with Android.

Hi. Any app that works on taking screenshot? It is easier just to use an app.
