Sorry, the applicaton won't be approved to publish to marketplace, you need at least dev unlock to install the application.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sunco:
It is just me or the app wont auto save pictures ? Correct my if i'm wrong. You need to Tap each photo and then it gets saved on the hub

Never mind. In fact, you need to return to the app to save each one of the pictures. Would be nice an auto-save
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
Your previous version (2.0) had an issue of randomly taking screenshots even after the app was closed. Have you tracked down this bug?

Hi JerryJiang,

V2 working ok on the hd2 whit Yuki,s rom but v3 not working can you fix that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pedaah:
Save images is not always consistent when large amount, 8 to 10 captured. File name protocol, all saved images have same name on phone and don't sync to PC. Random screen shots taken at lowest time, seem to sync fine. Any link to source project file? Still a great application, hopefully an inroad to a formal implementation of the feature.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] la_Tensor:
Hi,

thanks for this great App both Version 2 and 3 works great for me. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JerryJiang:
That's is tracked and have deployed a solution, still waiting feedback, seems works fine until now.

Because it uses interop to access the bitmap of the screen and Microsoft doesn't allow that for marketplace apps.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Previous screen capture apps used Jaxbot's dehydration tweak (which requires registry editing, thus ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES) to let the capture app run behind the app you wanted to screenshot. Since this app doesn't require that capability, I'm guessing it's entirely based on Mango background services?

If so, that's super-cool, and the best use of them I've seen yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
Not working for me on my HD2... Please fix this? Do like fiinix and do a HD2 version with capture on Search button... That would be great :)

I am not sure but is there any way you can export to png? I know jpeg messes up the image quality.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
A lossless format like PNG actually makes good sense. It's also actually quite easy to implement the compression algorithm if you don't have a library to do it for you, though if there is a library available it may be better optimized.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] astikv:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@JerryJiang:

This is an awesome app, I really love it. Very well-written.

Would you be willing to share the source code? I can see a few things I'd like to write that use similar stuff to what you did here, and it would be good to not re-invent the wheel.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IzaacJ:
Well, at least with YukiXDA & XBoxmod's BTTF ROM I have the green call button as camera, and it is NOT working with this app. Other than that, it works perfectly as an ordinary camera button.

Great work JerryJiang!

I have been to say "not motivated" to release The Dllimport as "ATL" compiled to work on Mango (devices). Great anyways that you/creator succeeded to make it to work.

Ill be releasing a next version of The Dllimport today (Mango compatible); (that i have been holding for too long locally on my desktop in a folder.... -.- Bout 2 month done....)

- What a shame...

Well, great helping me out.

I Just noticed that the app cannot take screenshot of Xbox Live Games. Anybody else or its just me ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Known issue. It's kind of weird, since Silverlight or native code uses the GPU as well (part of how the phone can scroll so smoothly); I guess XNA just grabs the video device more exclusively or something.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Sierra76:
Do I need chevron unlocked phone or interop-unlocked to install this application?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] travisxcore:
Interop
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bigboy292000:
Dev only; no interop is needed with latest version. I just unlocked with Chevron last night and then loaded this XAP and it works great.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

A workaround (but not great) is to suspend the game and then take a screenshot when you view the app in task manager. Gives you a lower res screenshot, yes...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Sierra76:
Bah, I just dont get it. Unlocked my phone yesterday with paid service from Chevron labs, and cant install it at all. Sympthoms are like with interop-locked devices - communication problem error from Tom Xap installer :( Do you have any hints to that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Tom's XAP installer has been reported to give weird or unhelpful error messages a few times - you might want to try just using the official XAP deployer that ships with the SDK (name: Application Deployment, in the Start menu). It's not guaranteed to work any better, but it might give an error message that we can actually help you with.

Thank you! Worked on my Samsung Focus 1st Gen and on my Samsung Focus Flash 2nd Gen perfectly.

Could you add a function to save the captured pictures in an own folder in your pictures hub? For example a folder called "Screenshots"?

Doesn't work on my HTC HD7 :(

Hi! I updated my HTC HD7 to the latest firmware (2250.21.51004.401) and now the program doesn't work :( Is there (or will be) a solution? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Can you provide a more useful error report than "doesn't work" please? What did you do, what did you see when you did it, what did you not see that you expected to?

As an aside, this app doesn't use interop-unlock (so no HTC firmware drivers) directly, so I wouldn't expect the firmware update to matter. There must be other people using *.*.51004.* on here, surely?

EDIT: Are you sure you're using v3? Some very old versions of this app did require interop.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] surv!vor:
Is there going to be an update to this? Any progress on screenshots for video and PNG export?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
All that stuff (including custom image album name) isn't possible 'cause of current API limitation. However as for screenshot quality, SaveJpeg with last parameter 100 (100% quality) should solve the issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JerryJiang:
For the video & XNA screenshot, I did some test, it still not work yet, I tried to use direct draw way to get screenshot, which is worked in WM 6.5, but I do not work in WP7, still need more work.

For the PNG support, actually, I already done the code, the problem is that Zune API do not accept PNG, the application is designed to be integrate with Zune, so I postpone the PNG support, because if I support PNG, then I need to think about how to export the screenshot from WP except Zune, it might be a PC client or use email or share to skydrive etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JerryJiang:
Yes, current API do not allow me to create a new album. For the image quality, actually, I already set the last parameter as 100%. The issue is Zune auto reduce the quality when display as speed concern.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Entegy:
Well this is odd. I can no longer open Screen Capturer on my device. It just exits the app. Samsung Focus on 7.1.8107.79.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JerryJiang:
Sorry for that, some temporary may massed up. Since I cannot reproduce it in my phone, i may not able to fix it, you can try to uninstall the app and install again, then it will be fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jimski:
Been enjoying my Lumia 900 since last Friday. Screen Capturer works great, but I have noticed that waking the device by pressing the camera button stops working "after" I have used Screen Capturer. I am not 100% sure of this, but have noticed the issue three times now. The only solution is a soft reset, when gets the button working again. Never had an issue with the comera button on my Surround.

Have read about holding the phone in landscape and making sure your finger is not blocking the proximity sensor (doing both) when pressing the camera button. Also installed the firmware update that Nokia pushed out yesterday which was supposed to address this issue for some users. Despite all of the above, the phone still failed to launch the camera today after taking a screen shot yesterday. Again, a soft reset got the button working again. I will try to check the button every few hours to verify that it continues to work as long as Screen Capturer has not been launched.

Can anyone reproduce this issue with their L900? It might still be a nagging problem related to the L900 and have nothing to do with Screen Capturer, but figured I would put the question out there.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KurtB:
I just tested on my Lumia 900 with the same OS and firmware version and I didn't have any problems using the camera after taking a screenshot. If there were specific steps you went through, let me know and I can try to reproduce.

-Kurt
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jimski:
After not using Screen Capturer for several days, and with a soft reset in between, I still had the same issue with my Camera button NOT launching the camera from sleep. So Screen Capturer is not a part of the problem. Sorry for suggesting it.:o

Must have been a coincidence that I used Screen Capturer three times in the first week I had my L900 and a few hours after using it I tried to launch the camera from sleep and it didn't work. I have applied the first L900 Firmware update, but the problem persists, usually a day or two after a soft reset. Checked diagnostics and the button responds to a press everytime, so I know it's not a hardware problem. Been working all day today after a soft reset. I am sure Nokia will figure it out. Otherwise, really liking this phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
i have some questions about screen capturer. first i must say its an great app, and very useful. and i must say i have a little bug with it.

i have synced my screen capturer files (pictures) to skydrive via the integrated system on my wp7, but on my desktop app sykdrive, they only displayed as "file" no jpeg. if i rename them they display as jpeg. On skydrive.com on the website itself i see the files as jpeg. what is the matter? i wrote microsoft about that, it may be a failure to the skydrive desktop app. but i think it is due to screen capturer. because all the other pictures that are in the same folder with the screen capts. they sync as jpeg on my desktop. how does the screen capturer save the files? which format exactly? is there a ways to solve that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kingwild:
Did you already test it with a 256 MB device ? It seems not to work on a Nokia Lumia 610.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
This app has been out sice before Nokia released the first Lumia phone. I doubt he was able to test it on Lumia 610 or any similarly low-end phone.

My guess is that the limitations on multitasking in the low-RAM environment are the problem, but that is *just* a guess at this point. It depends somewhat on how the app is implemented, of course.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JerryJiang:
Well, I do not have Lumia 610 to do the testing, but it should NOT support. Screen capturer depends on background agent to work, Microsoft disabled the feature for low-end phones (256MB or less memory).

Thank you very much, GoodDayToDie, you are very kind to help answer the questions. I have been busy since I release the v3 version.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kingwild:
So we're out of luck then I guess when we want to take screenshots on a 610...

Or is there any work-around ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
There's a way to do it without a background agent, but it requires interop-unlock. I don't think we have that for the Lumia 610, sorry.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] iArr:
Thank you! It works well and effortlessly! Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
This app has a HUGE problem, it goes only to (99) screen captures after that you must delete you pictures in the synced zune folder if you want new pictures to sync. because the app names them exact the same like the last one 99 98 97 96 95 94 93 92. on the windows phone both are visible, but if you will sync them to pc it gets an error because of the same name.

i suggest to write this app instead of going to 99 max. go to 100.000 that not a big change but we will never get problems like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JerryJiang:
Thanks for the feedback, I am currently trying to put the app to marketplace, no matter what is the result, I will try to fix the issue when this gets done.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] elfacki20:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xdrc45:
Hi,

Make sure to go into Root Manager and WP7 Root Tools and set Screen Capture as "Trusted" to give it root privileges.

Then try running the Screen Capture app again. When you click on the "Start capture task" a text box should open up and inform you that the app is about to start and then click on "OK" to continue and launch the app.

You can then exit from the app and go to the screen that you would like to take a picture of and then click on the camera button and it will take the pic of the screen and save it to the apps recent section and to the devices Picture Hub - Saved Pics album and the app will give a confirmation box that the pic was taken and saved.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] blegs38552:
Could someone look into this question?

No one seems to be able to answer this, either in this forum or anywhere else.

Is there a technical reason why a screen capture app cannot be developed for a locked Windows 7x phone?

If not, is there any good reason why this has not been done?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XwpisONOMA:
Wow, I know it's many years later but I 'd like to confirm what dxdy said.

I just tried this app with my HTC HD2 running 7.10.8862 (HD2O rom) and it does not work either (with green phone=camera hardware button).

In contrast V2 from another thread works, only if I navigate to the desired screen and let the task expire. I.e. hitting the camera or windows button as the developer suggested does not work.

Also, some one changed the app title in programs to English (thanks) but not the rest in Chinese inside the app. Even the generated file name is in chinese.

It works, but with some limitations, but I like it. thanks! If you can fix it fine if not thanks again!
