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....
lawls
@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.
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

the combination for GS2 is : Power + home button .. but unlike gingerbread , the timing is a little different in ICS , i mean u must press both buttons on the same time

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

The issue was resolved in the latest ics firmware .45, buttons are more responsive. But if you're having a hard time pressing it, slide from transparent strip up to the dots and I can tell you, it is effective.

Yes.
Just practice. You'll eventually find out the secret to touch them successfully. I got the hang of it after 2 weeks.

My home button is dead. Technician said I need whole LCD part to fix it, and it is very expensive.
Any software solutions for this, like installing a custom rom with virtual buttons?

I do not recommend.Here is a rule and a tip:NEVER FLASH WITHOUT WORKING HARDWARE BUTTONS!.If you flash a ROM,you might not be able to enter Recovery or Download mode,and you risk bricking your phone. Replace the HOME button.And if HOME button is completely dead,ROM/Kernel flashing won't help.

If you are running 4.1+ on your galaxy s2,then I got the best solution for you.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=organic&utm_term=button+saviour+pro
Check this out.Its great
It can simulate on screen buttons without root for 4.1+ !
And there is a root version too for phones on and lower than 4.0
No need for a new ROM!
Hit THANKS if I helped you.
