This happened just a few minutes ago... I was scrolling up and down on through my text messages and then I must have pressed one of the bottom capacitive buttons or something but all of a sudden I heard the camera shutter sound and wondered what happened. So i went to my gallery and saw the screen shot of my text messeges in a folder called screencapture. I'm not rooted. Shootme isn't installed. I just updated to froyo a few days ago. Now I can't figure out how it happened. I googled it and it seems that a few other people have done it on accident also. Anyone else?

Wow! That works great. Thank you. Only think I don't like about the app is that you have to put the shortcut on your notification bar. It works great So far. Still would like to know how it works. This app is Just a shortcut.

I could nor get mine to work using bottom keys. It showed active in apps. Dwnld this shortcut Monday works great.
i had this same thing happen to me while i was using my wikidroid app it screen captured the screen when i went to hit the home key really quickly, but i still cannot figure out how i did it. i work for tmobile and still couldnt find any known issues with this happening after doing the froyo update.

I'm running stock Froyo 2.2, and the Screen Capture Service does nothing on my Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959. Haven't even captured the screen on accident without the Screen Capture Shortcut Free app.

Ive tried all these combinations and none have worked. Downloaded a screen shot app and it saves in two diff folders so I know its possible with out the app so how is it done????

I have a totally different phone, but I am running froyo, and on mine its tap both the "HOME" button and POWER/LOCK button simultaneously (without any screen capture app installed). It automatically saves to a folder called "captured." Hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER:
FOR FROYO : Hold back button on the right bottom of your phone.Then press home while you pressing the back button & its done.
