[Guide] How to take screenshots on your Windows Phone


iOS users have been able to take screenshots natively on their devices from the very start. Android is now offering it as an option on Android 4.0 leaving only Windows Phone out in the dark.

However a homebrew tool has now been made available to help you get passed this obstacle.

NOTE - You will need a device which is either developer unlocked or unlocked through the ChevronWP7 unlock tool.
  1. Download and install Windows Phone developer tools.
  2. Download and install Zune Desktop Software for connectivity drivers for your device.
  3. Download ScreenCapture 2 from Long Zheng
  4. Launch your Application Deployment tool and install XAP file to your Windows Phone.
  5. Set the timer between 1-60 using the slider and tap the Chinese characters for 'Start Screenshots'.


  6. Press the Windows Key and wait for the specified time for the screenshot.
  7. Your screenshots will be saved under  Picture > Albums > Saved picture

This may not be the ideal way to capture screenshots on your device, and we hope Microsoft will soon introduce a native screenshot method. But for now, this is all we have.
