Capturing Screen shots on Fascinate

To take a picture of your Samsung Fascinate screen without using another app:

Press and hold the "back" soft key and press the "power" button it takes a snapshot of the screen and saves it in a gallery folder callled "ScreenCapture".

I've tested this with EB01, don't know about stock or any other versions.

Awsome! Didnt know this. I wondered how people posted there screenshots. I tried it on my friends stock phone and it won't work. I guess it's a Froyo feature

 

[JayTeeLea]

I figured it out!!! press the back button then the power button and you will hear the shutter sound.

 

[hkeller87]

Mine worked once by accident with the back and home buttons, but I cant get it to do it again... even with the power button.

That is so totally awesome. Images are ten times better than trying to use my camera to archive my home pages.

Thank you so much for this tip.

Yep, I just verified it yet again.

That is exactly how it works.

At least on my Froyo version.
