Question

How can I take a screenshot on a Lenovo Tab 2?

Community Answer

Open it and tap on the “Start” button on its starter interface to activate the screenshot function. A tip box will show, just press “OK” to start taking the screenshot. Go to the app you want to snapshot, press and hold the “Power” and “Volume down” buttons at the same time until you see a flash or an animation on the screen, which means the screenshot is successfully taken. Then the screenshot will be loaded in this screenshot app’s image editor. You can crop and annotate it with the drawing tools underneath. Tap “Done” on the top left and choose to save it on your tablet or upload it to the free cloud space provided by the developer.

How do I take a screenshot on Android 2.2?

Community Answer

On Android 2.2, there is no standard way of taking a screenshot. Some phones can't do it at all. If your phone is a Samsung phone, try holding the Back button and then tapping the Home button.
