Yeah… I thought that I need to root Samsung Galaxy S II first before I can take screenshot. All the screenshot capture applications like ShootMe, Screenshot It and Screenshot need your phone to be rooted first in order to work properly. However, Samsung Galaxy S2 does not need those screenshot capture applications because you can take Samsung Galaxy S2 screenshot with its own build in function…
How to take Samsung Galaxy S II screenshot?
Just press Home button (don’t let go) then quickly press and release Power button to take screenshot of your Samsung Galaxy S2. The screenshot is added to ScreenCapture folder then.
More Samsung Galaxy S II tips and guides will be coming out. Stay tuned…

You need to have root access. Something like jailbreak in iPhone term.

Hi Angel, please consult Samsung Support in this case because above button combo method should work. Not sure why it does work on yours.
