Built in screenshot on g2x - T-Mobile LG G2x

there is a way to take screen shot on the G2x without any other app, just press the home button and the power button at the same time and the phone will take a screenshot of the active screen.

Good stuff! Thanks!!

Found out about this today. Awesome tool. Now you can easily share screen shots of your Speedtest results!

Does it do something special that an app like screenshot doesn't?
Asking seriously. I'm curious.
Well just the fact that you can take a Screenshot by pressing the power button and home at the same time is pretty cool. If that app cam do that then I'll just get the app.

I don't do screenshots that often, but the screenshot one does the trick. Push the button, gives you 5 seconds to get to the screen you want to cap... Done. There may be other options for doing an exact button combo, I haven't looked.
Like I said, I don't do them that often. Something tells me there's no shortage of apps that will fit the bill for ya, but if you do them a lot I guess I could see the appeal of the sense 3.0 deal you're talking about.
MIUI has that feature

I also use ShootMe but with LeeDrOiD. Download it from the market. You wont regret it
Screenshot has an option where if you keep the app running, you can shake your phone to take a screenshot... you don't even have to push buttons.
But be careful or you'll end up with a hundred screenshots.

Awesome, I can now uninstall Shootme and just use the built-in function on MIUI.
BTW, to use it just hold "Menu" and press "Volume Down"
Thanks for the tip

Sorry, can't help you there. There are some apps on the Market that take screen shots but I can't recommend any since I never have problems with the built in one.

Try shootme. Its not in the market any more, but i've found the apk before here on xda.

I don't think the previous responders get your question. Some roms do support custom boot animations, there are a few threads on the site that explain how to do this. Feel free to look some up.
I think he wants a button in the shut down menu that will take a screenshot of whatever is under the menu. Haha not sure ...

Similar to what is available in CM7? Don't know how that is integrated, but it would require a decent amount of smali work to get it accomplished.
Obviously the title doesn't say it all. Haha

i know its late bute Drocap2 (probably have to get the apk from a search as it was pulled from the market) will let you have a notification bar trigger, map screenshotting to the search button, and has a shake trigger if that helps

Honestly, it's a timing issue... I used to have a hard time getting shots by holding Back and then hitting Home, but I've gotten MUCH better at it. It's all in the timing of how you do it, the best way i can explain it is to press back and kind of say "one one-thousand" to yourself then tap Home without moving your finger off of Back. You'll here the camera shutter sound and it'll be saved to your SD card in a folder for screen shots.
This is the only way I take my shots and it works fine, provided you've got the timing down (also, I've only used Froyo ROMs).

There are still some things you'll never get a screenshot with. Why not just use one of the screen capture apps like DroCap or Shootme? There are likely hundreds more that do the same thing as well.

this works on some screens, but not all. for those that the back+home doesn't work, it's best to also have an app installed, or you end up using a camera to take pics of your phone screen like I did in the cranium thread
Screen Capture Shortcut
https://market.android.com/details?...uZHJvaWQuc2NyZWVuY2FwdHVyZXNob3J0Y3V0ZnJlZSJd
Try this it doesn't require to root plus it can take screenshots through notification bar.. It simple and easy to use.
Gonna try this later..

Power Button Problem

Hello guys, I just want to know is there any way through which I can increase the sensitivity of the power button? My phone is now one year old and I've found that the power button is very annoying. If any new person happens to use my phone, he is to be taught to apply a bit more force to the power button to lock the phone.
Also, long press is difficult! It's very difficult to take screenshots (with CM ROM that has power button screen shot option).
When I long press to take a screenshot, after releasing the button, the phone sleeps and gets locked. It happens several times and to take one screenshot I have to face it almost five times. I think it is because of dust that gets collected below the plastic button, is there any suggestion from you that can make my finger's life easy??? :banghead:
Uhh, and do not suggest opening the phone body and clean it!!!

And how does a topic come under 'favourites' section of the xda premium app??? Such a stupid question but I am really not finding a way out!!!
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Same problem. Isn't much you can do with the power button. It's mechanical so to fix the actual button you would have to open up the phone and fiddle in there. (don't try this if you don't know what you're doing)
I, for one, am using this mod. It works on the rom level, not the phone itself so it needs to be flashed every time you install a new rom (even when it's the same one but different version) and it won't work when the phone is completely shut down, you still have to use the power button.
Oh yeah! I knew that mod but forgot!
Well then, for now I use a screen locking widget... but still to unlock power button is required...
Will have to stay with it only.. :banghead:

Oh, and yeah, that same widget allows to lock the phone by long pressing search button.

Can't you just press any other button, like menu or the back key, and slide to unlock?
same problem with volume keys also

Yes I know I can, but sometimes just to see notifications or time, I don't take out the phone from the cover, only its head...

Button bindings

Does the Galaxy SIII (stock) have screen capture ability like the fassy and charge?? If so what are the button bindings, I remember home and back button together, but can't seem to get it to work.
Thanks to all that reply!

I think one is volume key and home (not sure). Easiest way when on a stock based ROM is to turn on the motion where you slide your hand from left to right across the screen to take a screen shot.
Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space.
If your wanting a screen shot then it's the home + lock button. Hold them for like 3 seconds
