For that, one needs to use the Android SDK method or root their phone and then install some app to do the needful.

LG Optimus One P500 that comes pre-installed with Android 2.2 Froyo OS, doesn’t allow users to take screenshots using shortcut keys. But there is a very easy way to do same and that too “WITHOUT ROOTING” your LG Optimus One phone. Check below:

How to Take Screenshots on LG Optimus One P500 –

1. Make sure your phone is connected to Internet.

2. Open Android Market and search for app named “shootme”. [Market link]

shootme

3. Install ‘ShootMe’ app. (It says Only supports ROOTED devices, but works perfectly on P500 without rooting).

4. Open the app, hit the Accept button and then Click the ‘Hide’ button.

5. Give a good sustained SHAKE to phone or shout to take screenshot of desired screens.

The screenshots are saved in PNG format in the folder named ‘ShootMe’ on your sdcard. You can transfer captures to your PC via Bluetooth, Email, USB connection, etc.

Thanks Arpit for the hat tip.Related Posts:

To Take screenshots, just open the window of which you want to take the screenshot. Now press the Back button and the Power button (located on right side) at the same time on your Tab. You will hear a camera clicking sound and the screenshots will be saved in a folder named ‘ScreenCapture’ on the microSD card.

I wish the similar process was also available for other Android based smartphones. [via]
