Take a screenshot on a galaxy s7

[EddieM]

Anyone know, sure as hell can't get it to do one.

Nothing seems to work. F**king smug phones.

If it’s the same as the S9, you push the middle button on the left side of the phone and the button on the right side of the phone at the same time.

You should also be able to take a screenshot by 'swiping' the screen with the edge of your hand. Google it.

Edit. Here.

Nope, doesn't do anything I'm afraid.

Pen paper, send it via telegraph would be quicker than this crap, I absolutely detest smartphones. Anyway as I have now lost patience and will likely just shoot it with an air rifle, yes it's been known. I'll leave it. useless pile of shi*e.

Generally with android it's a combination of two buttons pressed and held at the same time - power and either volume down or home button.

I know, I looked it up, non of the methods do anything on my phone, don't bother yourself further with it. I've lost interest.

I'm always seeing in my notifications list that I have taken yet another screenshot on my S10, feck knows how I am doing it - must be really easy lol.

Are you sure your just not seeing a notification eddie and your getting lots of screenshots in the screenshot album?

Quite sure. Anyway as an update, the screenshot taking ability has been disabled due to a security policy on my phone. Which one and where to find out what to do though is anyone's guess.

 

[EddieM]

good Lord, I've only gone and fixed it. Now to find out what I've broken in the process.

Easy peasy.

Holding phone in left hand with right hand place side of hand (pinky finger side of hand) touching screen and slide to right. Like you're using the side of your hand to wipe the screen clean.

Try it.

Work phone? Or a personal phone used for work? Unless you put a different ROM on?

Yes, I know, it didn't work, due security policies applied.
