Taking screenshots on Nokia phones

This guide shows how to take screenshots on various Nokia devices.

Series 40
Gammu, Nokia Screen Dumper, or Phoenix service software can be used to take screenshots on S40 devices. To do this, you'll need a data cable for the phone and a PC with one of these programs installed.

Gammu
Gammu is a free tool for interfacing with various mobile phones, including Nokia phones. It can do tasks such as managing calls, messages, the file system, but it can also take screenshots.

Gammu can have compatibility issues with certain devices (see their compatibility list), but it is the best choice for Linux users.


 * 1) Read Kahvibreak's tutorial for connecting Gammu with your phone. Note: you must use USB, the phone will just reboot itself if a screenshot is attempted via Bluetooth.
 * 2) From the command line, you can type  . This will create a   file in the current directory.
 * 3) If the screenshot's colors are messed up (for example 6230 and 6230i), fix them with Image Search Editor or GIMP.
