How To Get a Picture (Screenshot) In Android Phones

Problem

In some cases, to follow up on troubleshooting, it is necessary to get a picture from your phone screen (in terminology, take a screenshot) and send it to us.

In Android OS 4 or higher, use one of the following methods to do this: (the first method is possible for older versions of android even 2.3 and it is working)

The first method: using phone buttons

  1. First, prepare the relevant situations. For instance, if you are supposed to send the image of an error message or specific window, be sure that the relevant message/window is visible and ready to take the image.
  2. Hold <on/off> and <volume down> button simultaneously for 1 or 2 seconds. In some models (especially Samsung), holding <on/off> and <Home> simultaneously will do the same.
  3. The screen will blink once and its image will be saved in the phone gallery.

The second method: using on/off the menu

  1. First, prepare the relevant situations. For instance, if you are supposed to send the image of an error message or specific window, be sure that the relevant message/window is visible and ready to take the image.
  2. Hold the on/off button a while until the relevant menu appeared.
  3. In some models, in addition to options such as: mute and turn off, this menu involves the Screenshot option.

The third method: using another phone

If your phone does not support any of the above methods, you can always take an image with another phone and sent it to us.
