Hi there,
I try do capture the screen of my SGS2 with ICS 4.0.4, I9100XWPT firmware, non-rooted. The usual key combination POWER-Volume down isn't working. It seems the 4.0.4 firmware version removed the ability to make a screen capture.
Q: How do I make a screen shot with the 4.0.4 stock versions ?

On my ICS 4.0.3 it's a combination of Power + Home button. See if that helps.
Thank you for the answer, but no, that won't work. I've tried every possible key combination, without success. It seems that Samsung removed the screenshot functionality from the 4.0.4 firmware

Sorry, I tried everything, Power + Vol Down too. It won't work for me and it worked for all previous versions including 4.0.3 and 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I suspect the current 4.0.4 version removed the screenshot functionality...
Correction, okay, it's back to Power-Home, not Vol Down anymore and the timing has changed as well...the Power-Vol combination was much easier to handle.
Thanks for your time...

As in reply 1
There are also free apps that will take screen shots by simply shaking your device.

I have the s2 running stock 4.0.4, I can take screen shots. Simultaneously press power+home key and hold a bit over a second. It has nothing to do with volume keys.

It's different than in GB but it works like you said: press both buttons at same time. The timing when pressing both buttons is important, I had to try several times to get a screenshot... I thing I have to practice my motor capabilities... hahaha

Same way as Gingerbread.
And really, you had to create a thread for this? A search wasn't good or easy enough for you?
Hold power + volume down for at least 2 seconds on ICS based....

@that smart dood above me<3333
You never mentioned what ROM or version of ICS you were on.
FYI, both Home + Power (which IS the same as Gingerbread), and Vol Down + Power work on stock Samsung ICS version XXLPQ. I just tried.
sorry guys..im new here...i'm just wondering...how to take a screenshot on sgs2g after upgrading ICS...
To take screenshots, just press Power and Center key at the same time.
This combination also works with ICS. I've tested with ICS 4.0.3.

Try pushing power + home button simultaneously (for 5 sec or something like that)
Turn on motion in settings and then swipe the edge of your palm from one side of the screen to the other.

power button + home button together
else turn on motion under setting > palm swipe to capture
then use your palm either swipe from left to right or right to left to take screen shot

Yeap... no crack there: he is right.
That combination has been the default method in stock ROMs since the days of the first Galaxy S, and even although the swype thing works in the S III, the PWR+HOME combo was kept.

Hi,
It works, no need 5 sec, just one sec
Latest Jelly Bean, you mean XXLIB (Polish version)? Unless you flashed some mods or anything else (a modified SystemUI.apk ?)
