How the heck do I add screenshot to my pull-down menu when there is no screenshot icon? This is very frustrating. I love this phone but I should be able to take a screenshot I've tried every method that has been posted.

Whenever I take a screenshot, with a pic on the screen, I see a box made of dotted lines around that particular part of the screenshot, which might be more relevant, than the rest of it, and there is a blue icon somewhere around it, which is basically suggesting me to click that icon to automatically get a cropped version of the screenshot which is Infact inside that dotted box. I want to know as to how to reposition or modify the size or shape of that blue dotted box, to actually get the desired screenshot.
