    Okay. If I need to quick reboot my RAZR it will take a screenshot first?

      Hi there, the DROID RAZR will take a screenshot during the reboot process. Make sure to hold down the volume down & power button for 10 seconds to trigger the reboot.

    Wow I have been trying to figure this out all morning. Wish I would have found this site first! Worked for me :)

    Now that the BIONIC has finally got its update for ICS, this method works for Screen Captures; ELATED!!

    I got a Xyboard 8.2 which was recently updated with the official upgrade to Android 4 released on october 2012, but I tried it and it doesn’t work for me.

    I’ve tried so many times. Do I need to enable something else? Is my device supported?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do I need to activate something for my droid 4 to take screenshots with ICS?

  • Jacob Berens

    I have the DROID 4 and I cannot get the screen shot to work no matter how I try. Is there some way to turn it on or a special way I need to do it?

      Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the hang of it. Be sure to press both the power and volume DOWN at exactly the same time and hold till the phone captures the screen. Let us know if you get the hang of it.

    This doesn’t work at all for my Razr :( Do I need to turn something on? I’ve tried so many times, I’m desperate!

    Holding the volume down and power is a hard reset for your phone when it freezes no way in anyway does that take a screenshot your wasting your time
