Taking screenshots with an Android phone WITHOUT NEEDING AN APP Jan 13

IT'S A SCREENSHOT

OKAY DAMMIT GUYS. After trying out multiple screenshot apps, those that promised they could work on unrooted phones, those that worked on rooted phones, etc. I was getting fed up at how freaking COMPLICATED these apps were (you had to go through like ten steps to set up your phone for it to work). Coupled with the fact that some of these screenshot programs were trials, and you would need to spend $4-$7 bucks just to get over the screenshot limit or w/e, I finally came across the BUILT IN WAY TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT.

YEAH. There’s a built in way to take a screenshot in ANDROID. Call me an Android noob, I’ve only had this phone for like a month but JEEZ. DID IT EVER MAKE MY LIFE EASIER DISCOVERING THIS.

Pretty much, hold down the Power button > Take a screenshot. It’ll save it automatically to your Pictures folder, which you can then retrieve through USB or what I prefer – the Dropbox app.

Yeah yeah, laugh if it’s common knowledge, but I’m just hoping I spare some other Android noob pulling their hair out.

    Well, I tried it on my phone and it did not work. Only thing that popped up was the menu for turning the phone off , restarting, and volume. No Screenshot !!!!
