Capturing Screenshots

[andylaiphoto]

If you press the lock button and home button on the iphone at the same time it will create an image of whats on the screen. Is there a way of doing this on android?

 

[Knewz]

i think there is an app you can to take a screen shot without root. But if you are rooted use Dro2Cap.

You can try shootme also.

Just shake the phone and it screenshots!

So far it looks like I'm out of luck if I'm not rooted.

If you could enlighten us with what kind of phone, perhaps more help could be had...

I have a HTC Inspire.

ShootMe works with SOME unrooted phones. Doesn't hurt to try?

 

[Usta]

I think Shootme works only on rooted HTC phones (although it never hurts to try).
Some Samsung phones have a key combo that take screenshot without being rooted.

Yea just tried, no go without rooting.

Hold on, you still can take screenshots without being rooted, if you connect your phone to PC with a cable.

I'm a bit lazy to describe the detailed steps, but try to search in the forum.

But I need this feature when I'm away from my computer.

Then root your phone.

I'm on a Mac and I'm not interested in rooting my phone.

Then the answer is going to be no.

You either have to install the Android SDK and plug your phone directly into your computer, or root your phone.

Thank you.

On the Samsung Mesmerize (USCC): Hold the back button and then hit the power button. Might work the same way on other android phones with 2.2
