In summary, the conversation involves a person seeking advice on how to take print screens on their Samsung Galaxy Tab S. They mention following the instructions of holding down the home and power button keys at the same time, but are having trouble with it. They also mention getting a 'Complete Action With' box and returning to the home screen. The person suggests trying to hold one button and then tapping the home button instead.

Hi there

I often have trouble taking print screens on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. The instructions say to hold down the home and power button key at the same time, but I do that and no flash occurs (to indicate it has taken the print screen). At times I get a 'Complete Action With' box, other times after I let go of the buttons I return to the home screen -- is there any other way, that is much easier, to take print screens on this tablet? It is starting to become frustrating.

Many thanks
Stevie

On my iPad I hold one button and then tap the home. I don't do it simultaneously. So try doing something like that power button then immediately the home button.
