Take a screenshot

Take and find a screenshot on Sidephone using hardware buttons.

Updated over a week ago

Summary

Press Power + Volume Up at the same time to capture your screen; the image is saved automatically to your Gallery.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the screen you want to capture

  2. Press and briefly hold Power + Volume Up together

  3. Release when you see a capture animation or hear a shutter sound

  4. Open Gallery β†’ Screenshots to view your image

Considerations

  • Timing issue: If the volume menu appears instead of a screenshot, press both buttons more simultaneously

  • During setup wizard or lock screen: Screenshots may be disabled on certain protected screens

  • Low storage: Screenshot will fail if device storage is full

  • Accessory keypad attached: Button combination remains the same


When to Contact Support

Create a support ticket if Power + Volume Up never captures a screenshot on any screen after repeated attempts.

What to Collect for Support

  • Whether you see a screenshot animation or sound when pressing the buttons

  • Whether the screenshot appears in Gallery β†’ Screenshots

  • Current available storage on the device

  • Whether the issue occurs on all screens or only specific apps/screens

  • Your last system update
