OK so I've been reading some of the stuff that ya'all that have been lucky enough to get the update have said about new features, well I'm still on gb and some how I managed to take a screenshot,,and I'm not exactly sure how I did it,, some how it is loadable to do this before ICS and without an app. Attatched is the screenshot I took.

You have to hold down the power key & wait to push the home key until just before the shut-down options pop up...gotta get the timing just right.


AND, once you do that, as long as you keep your power button pushed down, you are in screenshot mode and can switch screens, enter (at least some) apps & take screenshots just by pushing the home button again. If you release the power key, you have to start from scratch

Are you talking about using an app?? I see the op's listed device is an x2... which device are you referring to?

EDIT: I see your sig says razr.. so you must be using an app to screenshot on gb...

Oops. Didn't notice it was an X2, but a recent Verizon update has given at least a couple phones I've noticed (including my DInc2) the ability to natively take screenshots without an app or rooting, juts by a key combination. Most of us have discovered this by accidentally doing "something" but not being quite sure what. The exact key sequence above, I know, is accurate for a DInc2. It may work for the OP since he too did "something". But, at lease it gives him a starting point. The problem most people have with the power+home instruction is that they try to do it simultaneously which doesn't work. It's a timing thing. FTR, I am still on GB too.

Hmm. I didn't think a razr on gb could screen shot without an app.. but idk what he means either lol.

Actually, My profile says razr because I forgot to change it when I got my Incredible 2.

That was my understanding too ... but I may be wrong. It has happened before.

Those are the same screen shots that were floating around on those welcome to ICS threads that Motorola was sending out teaching people about the new features of ICS. I specifically remember that "Holy cow what a night one".

Just googled your question and found this. Of course I tried it and it worked great! Sorry about the phone confusion, but if you have a RAZR with ICS, this works great.
