Take a print screen on Samsung Galaxy Ace

There is a shortcut to take a print screen on the Samsung Galaxy Ace :

Press the back and the home buttons at the same time.

----- EDIT 2012-02-01 -----
The trick has changed on newer Android versions (I'm currently on Android 2.3.3) :

Press and hold the home button and then press the switch off button.
---- END EDIT -----

Files are saved on /sdcard/ScreenCapture

it doesn't work at my samsung. I also have the galaxy ace and I pressed the back and the home button at the same time. Do I have to change something at settings ?

@yoannaitis :
You don't have to change any parameters, afaik.
Try the second shortcut : hold home, then press switch off button.
Maybe the tricks do not work if you don't have an sd card installed...

It didn't work for me. I've been able to take a screen shot using:
HOLD BACK BUTTON AND PRESS HOME.
Hope it helps!

@Gustavo : You should have an older Android version.
The trick for older version is also stated in my post, before the EDIT section.

It works for me. Thanks so much, we tend to forget how it's done when we don't use it often

To fix this issue, simply edit the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change the following configuration to be inline with: [ifupdown] managed=true Then restart the Network Manager : sudo service NetworkManager restart #1

ubuntu 20.04 / netplan / change mac address and static ip

I wasn't able to set together a virtual mac address and a static IP using netplan: either the mac address didn't change, or IP was not set. I finally got the trick using a fake nic definition that matches the new virtual mac address I've set.    network:   renderer: networkd   ethernets:     ens160:       match:         macaddress: 00:0c:29:5a:69:00       macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6     ens160_2:       match:         macaddress: 00:50:56:0c:de:a6        addresses: [ 139.99.5.72/32 ]       nameservers:         addresses: [ 8.8.8.8 ]       routes:       - to: 0.0.0.0/0         via: 139.99.5.254         on-link: true     ens192:       addresses: [192.168.103.14/24]       #dhcp4: true   version: 2

Connect the Xiaomi Yi Ants Cam to your Synology Surveillance Station

1) Ensure the current firmware of your cam allows you to see the steam without authentication. You can check this using vlc and connecting to rtsp://192.168.1.128:554/ch0_0.h264 If you are able to see the stream, you can go to the next point. Otherwise you have to downgrade the firmware of your cam : Simply place this file on the root of an SD card, insert the SD card in the cam and reset it (a reboot may be sufficient) 2) Create the following file on your synology using putty /volumeX/@appstore/SurveillanceStation/device_pack/camera_support/Xiaomi.conf with this content: [Xiaomi*Ants] api = custom resolution_h264 = 1280x720 default_resolution_h264 = 1280x720 fps_h264_640x480 = 5,10,15,20,25,30 fps_h264_1280x720 = 5,10,15,20,25,30 default_fps_h264_1280x720 = 10 default_image-quality = 5 h264 = rtsp mpeg4 = rtsp mjpeg = rtsp motion = h264,mpeg4,mjpeg motion_param = sensitivity,threshold rtsp_keepalive = none rtsp_protocol = auto,udp,tcp 3) In the surveillanc
