Press and hold home and tap the power button. This is the magic key for Samsung Galaxy S2 to take a screenshot. It has been such a good news for users like me who used to use iPhone. Somehow it is just the same as the iPhone setting. Actually some of the recent released mobile phone adapt this feature too, including Samsung Galaxy S2, LG Optimus 2X, LG Optimus 3D, HTC Cha Cha. Enjoy!

I have a problem when trying to do this, my phone locks when i hit the power button. I am always taking screen shots on accident but when i really try to i cant capture a screen shot, my phone just locks
Press and hold the back button then the home button, just worked for me and I tried all the other ways first, with no luck
Same here, it merely gets locked. mine is a samsung SL by the way.
i have recently updated the operating system on my samsung galaxy s2 and now when i screen shot it takes me to task manager instead of taking the photo.. please help me i really rely on my screen shot
I just got a Samsung GII and figured out you can still do it by pushing the home button and power button at the same time. Not one after another
i have recently updated the operating system too and I have the same problem: when i screen shot, as usual pushing the home button and power button at the same time, it takes me to task manager instead of taking the photo.. why?

ya try holding ‘volume down’ and ‘power’ together. the upgrade might have changed the way to take a screenshot. check out my new post about this too =] http://nicholasworkshop.com/2012/05/20/take-a-screenshot-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-updated/
