As many have already known that Samsung recently rolled out the ICS4.0 update for it's Galaxy SII models in Europe. But i found that the screen capture function is no longer working.
I have tried several key combinations known as Home+Power and Volum down+Power. But none of those seemed working
So I'm wondering if any of you guys having the same problem?
Thanks in advance!
It's working! Home + power

Works for me too, it's slower to capture than GB, but does what it needs to do.

hi, its "Volume down+Power" with ICS 4.0.3, keep them held down for at least two seconds, and try to press volume down first.
+1 for Volume Down + Power on 4.0.3 LPQ
Cool animation too...

It used to work like that for me, but since I upgraded and rooted with KG5 it stopt working. I haven't flashed back stock kernel since the yellow triangle doesn't bother me at all.
Anyone else had this issue?
edit:
after reboot it worked again.....

Works for me - both in the LPB release and now in CM9. You need to hold volume-down and power in for about a second, though.
This feature deff works just hold it a little bit longer than your used to in GB.
Now bizarrely its still power and home for me, on XXLPB. It wasnt when I first installed it, but Ive restored some system files from GB I had backed up in Titantium and its changed to power+home ?!
I got both ways

I can confirm that pressing and holding volume down + power button simultaneously will take a screenshot. It will notify you once it's done (using Westcrip's ICS Remix v9.1)
Same here... Volume down + power makes the job...

Both works for me too CM9 is probably a bit different then the Samsung leaks

+1 for the post above me.....

Close please........

In addition to Vol Down + Power, Home + Power also still worked for me on LPQ, which is 4.0.3. I don't get why there are so many people out there this doesn't work for.
On cm9 power + Vol down+ home works

well guys, thanks
but i use the samsung official rom i9100zslpg
the vol.down+power key didn't work at all.........
you realize you have 3 different combinations up there and instead of tring one you could have tried all three, one should have worked.....
Plus, you have to hold for a couple seconds. It doesn't take the screen shot right away.
When I updated to ICS the other day, I started having problems. First of all, my phone is laggy as a mtf. When I try to text, the inputs are slower than I can type and programs take awhile to load. I also cannot screenshot anymore. I tried to home + power button and volume down + power button, but nothing works. I tried restoring my phone in hopes that it would remedy the problem, but it did not help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To fix your lagging phone, put a custom ROM on it.
Screenshot, IDK. Vol down and power has always worked. Your holding it wrong?
Try holding the volume down button and power for a second or so

Nothing works. :/ Shouldn't it not be laggy at all?

Go to settings > developer options > transition animation scale> adjust.
The smaller the number the faster
1)Yes the screen shot capability still works. Its user error in your part. 2)what do u mean "it shouldn't be laggy at all" what are u expecting from a bloated carrier release?

No, my screenshots do not work. I have tried all methods and it does not work.
Is there anyway that I can downgrade to GB?

Honestly you're the only person who hasn't been able to do it so that leads us to believe it is user error

It was when I was on GB, but supposedly it has changed to Volume Down + Power Button. (Does not work for me.)
After update from GB to Ics via kies... factory reset your phone... everything would be fine...

If it's that much of an issue, there are apps in the play store.

no. All ics ROMs use the current Google standard of vol down and power, afaik. Power and home was a Sammy convention on GB
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Did you try pressing both the power and home buttons at the same time and holding them in for a good four or five seconds? It may take a bit longer to activate since you are having performance issues.
The key is to HOLD the vol down + power AT SAME time... Ultimatum is home + power only ICS ROM I have found that on.....

You have a lot of issues and even on a stock room just save your texts through SMS backup and restore get a copy of titanium backup sync your accounts backup your contacts to your sim, pull out your SD card and do a factory reset clean install of ics then load it back up test it before you re install all your apps and stuff to be sure its correct. Even something as simple as flashing and update can and will have issues that can usually be fixed just starting over also since your on stock save how you have your apps set up I hate when they arnt organized. Screen shot it will work unrooted I think

I have had the same problem many times. In my case, it was caused by the fact that I press power first and volume down next. That works most of the time, but sometimes it just leads to lowering the volume.
When I press both buttons exactly the same time, it works always. (For me at least)
Every time I press the lock button twice quickly when the screen is off it gets locked up. I do this on accident sometimes. Is this always going to be a problem or can it be fixed?
Which button are you referring to? Do you have SGH-I777?
Yes I have the SGH i777 and I am talking about the power button.

That would be abnormal behavior for the power button. When the screen is off, pressing the button once or twice quickly should make no difference. The screen should come on in either case.
What firmware do you have on the phone? Unless the power button is somehow programmed to recognize a double press somewhere in the firmware, then it is possibly a failing button.

Thank you for helping me. I am running the stable build of Cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2.2) directly from their website. However, I do not quite believe that my power button is failing. It works fine when i click it once. Is there a way to know if its just a software problem vs a hardware problem? Thanks

Yes, of course. Just flash back to stock and see if the problem persists. I would suggest you try 4.1.2 UCMD8, but it really doesn't matter which version. If the problem goes away, then the issue is in firmware. You should be able to make a nandroid backup of your current configuration, and restore it after you finish the test. (I assume you would understand the necessary steps.)
