[Q] ICS Screenshot? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Feeling like a n00b, got the ICS OTA, how do I take a screenshot? I keep trying power and volume up or down with no result.

power plus volume down.....hold until you hear the camera shutter....

Same for me power + volume down do nothing (except put the volume to minimum)

Hold them both at same time for approx 1 second....

Screenshot on Xoom running EOS nightly?

How do you screenshot? I'm new to tablets and just got the xoom. Any help? Thanks

Hit volume Down and Power Button at the exact same time. Takes practice to get it right

And hold them for about 1-3 seconds until you see the notification.

You can even configure your app switcher softbutton in the settings. There is a function you can trigger if you hold the button and you configure it to screenshot.

Which is the best screen capture app for Aosp?

none of the screen capture app is working on my cm9

Click once the power button.... On my Nexus S with CM9 works
Keep your finger on the power button, and the volume down button (at the same time) for roughly two seconds. There's your screenshot

I save my power button !

With some change of keylayout, I use the camera button as power button.

Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

Maybe he's left-handed? lol Maybe a "I can do this am I'm gonna" thing... dunno.

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image
thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?
Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.
Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?
I guess it will save our hard button.

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

Will this work in recovery too?
While flashing other roms in BBM?
Please reply i too broke my power button.

Screen record

I pulled down my notifications and I saw a notification looking like a native Android one but it said screen recording with a phone as an icon.
Didn't know the phone or rom (cataclysm) had that feature. I pressed the button under the notification and it seemed to record till I rapidly pressed the stop recording button. I now have a 5 sec mp4.
I don't read much and I have no idea how screen recording feature got into my notification pull down.
Any ideas?

That's a no go for me, too.
OK I got it to work. I don't know why the shortcut can be on/off like that. Thanks
