Can I take screenshots on a ZTE Merit with Android 2.3.5 without rooting?

Question

I don't have a home computer so I can't root my phone.

Answer 1

Starting with Android 2.3.4, all phones which have this OS version are able to take screenshots using a key combination: press Home Button + Power Button for a few seconds and you will see a flashing frame appearing and a message will follow saying that the screenshot has been saved on the internal/external storage device under the Screenshots folder.

Answer 2

@ andrew.. on the zte merit that doesnt work. It just brings up the turn off menu.

Answer 3

Tried it multiple times and it works fine with my LG Optimus 3D.

Answer 4

If you press the volume down button on the side of the phone and power button on top of the phone together you can get a snapshot!

I can confirm this; I got a ZTE Warp Sequent (ZTE-N861)earlier today.
Pressing Volume Down and the Power Button on the top of the phone SIMULTANEOUSLY gives a screenshot every time.

Answer 7

Unfortunately this feature isn't available with the zte Merit. I guess they figure that cheaper phones shouldn't come with features of more high end models.

Answer 8

i tried the home button and the power button together it still didnt work i tried the power button and the down volume button it didnt work i tried downloading screenshot apps it say you need to root your phone that didnt work so i guess a zte-n910 doesnt do screenshots!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

It works great on the AT&T ZTE Z998 Go phone. All you need to do is press the Power button and the Volume down button at the exact time.
