Sometimes we have to do a little reading, which i know people don't like. Example: Read the manual when you buy something

Is anyone able to open that PDF on their 920? I've installed the reader, but get an error. Documents on Nokia's site are the only ones I've attempted to download since installing the reader

Won't open on my 920 either, I'll check it on the PC tomorrow.

Now what I would I like to know is how to turn off that loud sound when taking the screenshot. I have the phone set to vibrate, but no luck.. (and no, that ODF never loaded for me either. Reported it to Nokia, who said the following. Not too helpful.

Okay, I'm claiming insanity here. I can't FIND the screenshots after I take them. They are NOT in Photos>Screenshots as that option doesn't even exist on my 920. I've searched high and low...okay, I fumbled around and then came here...but alas, I am screenshot illiterate. Thoughts (other than I'm an imbecile)?

Works on my HTC 8x too. Thanks for the info.

I have a really hard time getting it right. I often wind up bringing up voice assistance or locking the screen.

Also, when you google this most hits are feature announcements and not the actual instructions.

The screenshot photos are saved in Photos-ALBUMS-Screenshots.

Try to do it by just quickly tapping instead of holding. If you just tap and release the power and home button simultaneously, you should get a screenshot everytime. Holding either one is what will cause problems by activating voice or powerdown.

BRILLIANT! PURE GENIUS! And I feel shame... Thanks, Rider2040.

whats is a screen shot?and what is it for?

 

[rider2040]

A screenshot captures whatever is on the screen of your phone. People use this to be able to share what they are on seeing on their phone. This is often used for instruction or troubleshooting.

 

[Bizarro_Prime]

I've been a member of this site for months and I've often wondered "how are these people able to screenshot their phones?"
I even went and searched the Marketplace for an app.

Serves me right for not reading the manual.
Its never been a big thing for me and I've never really been that bothered about it, just I'm sitting here bored at work so I thought I'd have a quick look online..
Oh well, live and learn.

Was tweeting with @NokiaHelps but did not know how to do this. Do you do it the same way with the 1020?
