How to take a screenshot on: Nexus 7, HTC Desire S

,
Android supports taking screenshot without the use of any third party app starting from 'Ice Cream Sandwich' (4.0). Still, the combination of buttons for taking screenshots is different for different devices.

This can be done by pressing the 'Power key' and the 'Volume down key' simultaneously for couple of seconds. I was following the instructions mentioned on Google Nexus 7 help page: https://support.google.com/nexus/7/answer/2811098?hl=enbut as I was releasing the buttons combination immediately, the screenshot was not getting captured. Remember, you need to keep it pressed for couple of seconds until you see a brief animation.

The just taken screenshot can be accessed from the notification bar, or from the photo gallery where it gets stored.

This can be done by pressing the 'Power key' first and then immediately the 'Home key'. If the operation is successful you will hear the camera click sound and a message on the screen.

The just taken screenshot can be accessed from the 'Camera shots' album in the photo gallery.

I guess the procedure should be the same for other models of HTC.


I have not looked into the screenshot procedure for Android devices from other manufactures, if anyone of you is aware, appreciate if you can add it in the comments section to help others.
