I thought the screen shot feature was skipped on our devices in ICS update. But I came to know it is possible to take screen shots on our phone.

Its simple, just hold Volume down and power button simultaneously for about 2 seconds

pvpatel, hold the both(Power & Volume down) buttons simultaneously, not one after another. I too had this difficuly b4. Hope this would help
 
Power and volume down are not working for me. ???

I am unable to take a screenshot.

I have a Samsung I9100 (Galaxy S2) // Android 4.0.4

For that particular device it's the power button and home button for ~1sec

You should see an animation and an icon on the notification area that will take you directly to the screenshot you just took.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this! I was going crazy because I upgraded to 4.0.4 and the volume/power button were no longer working. I found you have to hold the power button a certain way - like right in the middle for it to work. Otherwise it brings up the task manager.

Hello, my first time on a forum so I apologize for any incompetence.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE, android version 4.1.2, model number SGH-I727R
I just updated to this andriod version, and before the update I had no problem holding the home&power key to take a screenshot.
Now however, I am not able to take a screenshot/screen capture. I have tried holding the home/power key, home/volume down key, and power/volume down key but nothing works. I have tried short and long durations, as well as pressing one button a microseconds before engaging the other button.

I really don't feel like doing a factory reset as I just did one less than a week ago. Any help would be much appreciated, as I have already exhausted most help from reading other threads.

Thanks
 
Thank You dude, but i have another question about the 4.0.4 recently i have upgrade my system but kernel version are upgraded so give me advise about how to upgrade my whole system
