Has anyone succeeded in taking screenshot of a actual screen? I have tried various combinations with fingers and home button, but I have found nothing. Same for the SDB developer tools, there is no option how to screenshot. Have you found another way?

Thx

have not tried this on the watch, but...

$ sdb shell
# xwd -root -out /tmp/screen.xwd
# exit

copy screen.xwd to somewhere that you can work with it, use a program like gimp (and i'm sure many others) to convert the xwd image to png or something.

This is, what I have been trying for the first time, however, watches don't know what command xwd means, so this is no way how to screen capture Gear 2, but thanks for reply
