Q.: Screenshot for VZW Moto Droid X2 (Android v 2.3.5)

Many devices with Android versions after the v.2.3.5 this VZW Moto Droid X2
has take screen shots by pressing quasi-simultaneously Power and VolDown,
or Power and Home, or Back and Home, or VolUp and VolDown, or similar.

But for 2.3.5 there's no Google-consensus, and nothing I tried works, so:
How *does* one take screen shots on this 2.3.5 version of the Motorola
Droid X2? (Or doesn't one at all?)

Thanks for your good advice! Cheers, -- tlvp

MORE than I want to try, but here's what I found..

Wow! That's a whole boatload of stuff to do before you -- and whenever you
want to -- take a screenshot. And you must be USB-linked to a computer.
Unpremeditated screenshot? -- forget it, can't be done. -- Not for me :-) .

THEN there is this..

http://www.mobiles24.com/downloads/t...-droid-x2-apps

A neat list of apps that either are paid, or require root, or are limited
to under a half-dozen screenshots, or must be fired up before you can take
any screenshots, again making it hard or next to impossible to capture a
screen you hadn't expected to want to be saving.

And lastly, there is a download .apk file in this thread...

Ah, that one again require root, it would appear.

Looks like, for my $23 outlay on this Droid X2, I'm going to have to forego
screenshots :-) . Oh, well, could be worse ... at least back on 2.3.5 you
could store your apps on the external slide-it-into-its-slot microSD card
(or so I read -- alas, the microSD card I ordered turned out to be one of
those ultra-cheap duds -- piece of plastic with some brass contacts, but
doing nothing (being refunded as I write this ... I think).

Cheers, and thanks anyway for the attempts at help, -- tlvp

Close kin to that, and found, installed, and tested just a few weeks ago,
there's

http://www.mobiles24.co/downloads/s/551171-m1408-no_root_screenshot_it:

: No Root Screenshot It, Motorola Droid X2 App, Edward Kim, 23rd March 2012,
: free version of Screenshot It which doesn't require you to root your phone.

Offers at least 2 ways to snag screen-scrapes: (1) physically shake or
rattle your handset; (2) touch a sensitive "take screen-shot" strip that's
revealed by pulling down on the notification area night-shade.

Seems to work a treat :-) ! (Did need minor tweak to swap blue for green.
And can capture only to "internal" sdcard directory, not to true SD card.
But the File app lets you move scrapes to the external SD card after.)

So: Thanks, Other Guy. Cheers, -- tlvp (much overjoyed)

Take a PICTURE, with a (DOH) CAMERA!

LOL :-) -- as I wrote on 9/21/2015, " found, installed, and tested just a

http://www.mobiles24.co/downloads/s/551171-m1408-no_root_screenshot_it"

Floats my boat and requires no external equipment (like "a (doh) camera").

But thanks; and cheers, -- tlvp
