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.
