This guide are for Samsung Galaxy Ace users that doesn't know yet how to take or capture screen image from the phone. When I got my Ace S5830 I have the same scenario too, then tweaking up and tried to press several button combination. And fortunately I figured it out after trying several attempts pressing the HOME button with the BACK button (touch sensitive buttons - on the left and right of HOME button). Bingo! that's how we can take and save screenshots on our Galaxy Ace.
An example of a screenshot on my Samsung Galaxy Ace
Method :
Navigate to the screen you want to take screenshot ( homescreens, menu's, or game screens, etc ) press and hold the back button in the right corner while holding it, press menu key once and a notification will say the screenshot is taken. The images will then automatically save in the image file folder called "Screencapture"
That's it all!
Thanx a ton it was realy helpful.... all the best enjoy.......!

I've figured it out!
ReplyDeletePress the power button and the home button at the same time for about 2 seconds and when you let go it should capture the screen! :)
what is that bird icon on your phone?
ReplyDeleteHold home button. If Task Manager Dialog appears, tap on back button to close it but still by keep holding home button. Then with your another finger, press power button to capture your screenshot (you still hold home button, don’t you? :-p) . If you success, there will be notification sound and text. Check on you gallery after you finish.
ReplyDeleteI hold the home button and click the power button using my other finger but still task manager appears or if not my phone is locked? What will I do?
