How To Take Screen Shot in Galaxy S2 4.0.4 Stock ROM ?

Posted by at
On 4.0.4 ICS update Samsung changed Galaxy S2 screen capture key combination. The previous combo was Volume down (-) key and power button. The new method is also a two key combination. I feel its a bit faster than the previous combo.

Follow the simple steps to take screen shot in Galaxy S2 Stock 4.0.4 ROM.

Steps
1. Go to the screen you want to capture.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the Home Button + Power Button for 2 seconds.



That's it. You will hear a capture sound and a Toast message. To get the captured image go to /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots.

    OK... worth a mention you have to keep the two buttons depressed for a half second or so.

    @izzrash
    Are you talking about galaxy s plus....? if yes..there is no official 4.0.4 update available for Galaxy S plus...so you may using a custom firmware..and screenshot depends by the firmware you are using...please let me know which firmware you have in GS plus...OR Read this post

    Works for T-mobile version of S2. All 4.0.4 S2's are the same. Must press and hold buttons at the same time. Make sure to hold after pressing. If your task manager comes up, you pressed and held your home screen button first or by itself.

    Neither worked for me. Just pulls up task manager both times. My phone automatically updated to 4.0.4 I'm pretty annoyed because before the update holding down hinge and power worked a treat. Now I have no idea... Help??

    If you get the task manager you didn't get to the power button soon enough. I find that I don't have to hold them any length of time. Home-then-Power and it takes the 'picture' instantly. Home too long gets the task manager and power first gives the power off menu. S2

    If your task manager comes up, you pressed home too early. Press the power key a split second before home and hold them for a second. It will capture -- even if your home button doesn't look like the picture above. I have a newer T-Mobile S2 with all touch screen buttons and it works, but only if I press the power button first. If I press the home button first I get the task manager.

    None of the above works foe me. Power and home used to before upgrade to 4.0.4 and other gets task mgr no matter which way u try it. Ugh!!!

  44. Cardol22 March 2013 at 15:10

    Home+power used to work for me until today. Now I get "Unable to capture screen. Try again." Anyone here know why? I've rebooted but it won't work anymore.

    Incedently, anyone getting Task Manager, just press back button while keeping Home pressed, then press and hold Power.

  45. Unknown24 March 2013 at 11:45

    Anyone who has a tmobile s2 i tried a technique that works perfect. If you press home and power at same time, task manager will show up. What you have to do is press power first and and then home really quick. And kabam screen captured :)
