Screenshot / Screen Capture on Japanese Android Phones

It is fairly easy to capture the screen of your Sharp Android phone. A special combination of hardware buttons is used for this purpose:

On phones running Android 2.3.x, press POWER and HOME buttons at the same time.

On phones running Android 4.0.4 and newer, press POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons simultaneously.

You will hear a snapping sound, like that of the camera and a notice will pop up saying "Screenshot was saved to microSD" and below it will be the file name.

The saved screenshot will be located in /mnt/sdcard/screenshot on Android 2.3.x or in /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots on Android 4.0.4 and newer. If such a folder did not exist, it will be automatically created when you capture the screen for the first time.

An easy method to transfer the ready screenshot to your PC is to use Total Commander's LAN plugin to establish connection between the phone and the computer and transfer the file to a folder of your choice.
