Help How do you take a screen shot on a (not rooted) S4?

[rossmcm]

Anyone know if there is a secret key binding or magic button press to capture a screen shot on the S4? I have noticed a couple of images in the gallery under "screenshot" so I have managed it some stage by accident.

Can you do it via a PC and one of the Samsung PC apps?

Don't want to root the phone.

Thanks.

Press the lock key and home button at the same time to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Make sure you hold them down until the screen clicks (1sec). Just a press will not trigger it.

There are two methods of capturing a screenshot on an un-rooted phone, as this article and video demonstrates...

There are also other methods if you use a custom launcher, such as APEX or Nova.

Also, you have to press both buttons at the same time. You can't press one, then the other while holding the former, like the way, for example, Ctrl+Alt+Del works on a Windows computer.

Brilliant. Thanks everyone.

I like the screen swipe function personally. I've got mine in an otter box, and trying to press the power button at the same time as the home button is challenging.
