Hi , just keep pressing the back button and double press the power button to take screenshots.
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Indeed.

Is this common knowledge that I had missed? I ask because I've seen several threads on various forums claiming that there is no app and no way to take a screenshot?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Interesting. Is there a service running that handles this feature or is it a core process?
[Galaxy Tab General] Rapax:
Don't know. But I just noticed there's an entry 'com.sec.android.app.screencapture' in the application manager list.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
i remember it... but ive removed it now and theres no apk, so theres no way to restore without flashing

i was trying screens with one of the root apps on the market and they all came out in funky colors so i got rid of it (must have taken sammys built in app out as well by mistake)
[Galaxy Tab General] mmorselli:
IMHO, best way to take screenshot on any device, galaxy tab included, is via ddms.bat ( Dalvik Debug Monitor) under dir tools of SDK. You can find "screen capture" under Device menu.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Can't for the life of me see how using DDMS can be "better" than this on-device method in general use! :)

This is a good find - we need a sticky for these tidbits!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
It's a good tip, but I much prefer using DropCap 2 from the Market, at least for when I'm not using a full-screen application. Talking of which, are in-game screenshots possible with the hardware button method ?
[Galaxy Tab General] kiawui:
I was able to capture a screen shot by pressing back and then pressing the power button twice. But that does not capture the screen that I wanted. Instead, it captured the screen of "back" when I press the back button.

This button combination does not make much sense in my opinion. Any say?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
It works fine for me in most apps (including Angry Birds), but not in the stock Video player or in the Gameloft games like N.O.V.A.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] dliao:
Is there any other way to do it ? Ad soon as I hit back it goes back to the previous screen and take screenshot of that screen. Isnt that kinda pointless?
[Galaxy Tab General] mmorselli:
For this cases I suggest ddms in the previous post. ddms don't need any user interface and grab everything, also video played in stock video player. And grabbed screenshot can be saved directly on HD, rotated, discarded...
[Galaxy Tab General] epakrat75:
I find that "holding" the back button down until vibrates (rather than merely just pressing it) and then pressing the power button just once works consistently well for me. Haven't needed DDMS yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] Picea:
For me it works fine; keep pressing back and tap power button.
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Hit back and power at the same time... and then hit power again... and you hear a sound like a camera shutter... and says it's saved.
[Galaxy Tab General] huyentrangallery:
Dear all

Very simple

. Press and hold back key

. Short press power key

screen will automatic save in folder Screen picture

[Galaxy Tab General] kiawui:
Ok, I got it now. The theory is to hold the back button and do not let go until you hit the power button twice. It works!! But it takes quite a while for the picture to show up in the Gallery. I thought the screen capture did not work.
[Galaxy Tab General] balmazan:
SOLVED: How to screen capture if Back key exits from the current screen

I just solved how to capture the screen if holding down the Back key exits from the application so you end up capturing the previous screen, or the Home screen in most cases.

For example, in Maps, I couldn't capture the Map as it goes back to the Home screen once I hold down the back key. The technique is to go one screen deeper; example in Maps, press Menu key then select Layers. When you hold down the Back key, the Maps image screen is displayed. Keep holding the Back key then press the Power key. Screen capture now completed on the desired screen.

I think you can do the same technique for other apps.

Hope you enjoy using your Galaxy tab as much as I do, like me having sleepless nights on the porch using Google sky map, or playing Guitar solo (paid version is much better).
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
That's strange... it should not go back until you have taken your finger off the back button and if you hit the power button whilst holding the back button it should cancel out any back button command.

[Droid X General] mdhaliwal:
Hey guys,

I work in an area where my 3g signal is really weak and cuts in and out. This really effects my battery quite a bit. However I have been using that # *#* number to get into the phone settings and change the setting to cdma only which seems to put my phone in 2g mode (is that true?)..and thn back to automatic to get 3g back. My question is is it possible for some of you to develop an app or a widget which could do this with a single click?

Thank you
[Droid X General] ishydroid:
Couldnt you do that with power widget plus? I do something similar since I'll in a bad area as well except I use it to reset my data connection so to speak.

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid X General] mdhaliwal:
Well I have extended controls installed all I can do with that is turn off data completely..from what I gather none of the power widgets support cdma devices when switching between 2 and 3 g
[Droid X General] StDevious:
You don't want to go 1x. The data rate is pitiful at 153 Kbps max.
[Droid X General] jrherras:
I just use Bettercut and make a data manager shortcut and just turn off manually the internet saves more battery than 1x connection
[Droid X General] LexusBrian400:
There is an app on the market, called Network which takes you to that menu with the push of a button. No need to enter in all those #*#*#*##* digits :)
[Droid X General] cellzealot:
Another way is to use AnyCut to set a shortcut to the field test menu where all of those settings are available.
[Droid X General] mdhaliwal:
Thanks :)
[Droid X General] imronburgundy:
What is the full name of the app? There are multiple apps named "network"

[HD7 General] warpkid:
Hi there,

Quick question for all you fellow HD7 owners.

Have you noticed that the phone can be painfully slow loading apps / games?

General phone use is quick, but when I fire up a game or facebook / twitter I often have to wait upwards of 20 seconds before I can actually get going. Certain games, like The Harvest, seem to take forever.

I can only conclude that HTC have used the slowest SD Cards that money could buy in an effort to shave their margins.

Not that impressed.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
WMPower Users have a story about that, where someone compared a HTC Trophy to the Samsung Omnia 7 (the Samsung has a SSD, not MicroSD), and the HTC loaded games 2x slower.

I'm really scared about this, I was going to buy a HD7 but knowing this, it sounds pretty bad :/
[HD7 General] warpkid:
Coming from a 3gs I'm a little dissapointed by the loading speeds. I guess that's the difference between nand and SD storage.

Oh well!
[HD7 General] brummiesteven:
This is a bit concerning but I had a Desire with Apps2SD on, with a 16GB Class 2 Micro SD Card and apps loaded up fine. I'm guessing after a few updates the speed will be faster.
[HD7 General] TonWes:
I havent had that feeling, both Twitter and facebook are loading in less then 10 seconds! But sometimes I have to reboot, because it just bounce back when you try to open a hub!
[HD7 General] ace10134:
The XNA programming platform has been known for slow load times, add in a SD Card and apparently it gets slower.

TonWes: Try opening a game, not an app. Twitter and Facebook are written using Silverlight most likely, not XNA.
[HD7 General] warpkid:
Ok so its not an apples to apples test but bejeweled live takes 45 seconds to load to the main menu in my hd7. On a 3gs bejeweled 2 takes about 5 seconds to load. say what you will about optimisation but it would appear that HTC used some poor grade memory in this phone!

And 45 seconds to load a simple game like bejeweled! Wow!
[HD7 General] Andrmgic:
The Trophy in that video doesn't have a removable sd card, either.. there's a large sandisk chip soldered to the motherboard.

Obviously the controller or the memory is inferior to what samsung is using in the Omnia 7.. which is a real shame.

This is making me re-think my decision to buy a HD7..
[HD7 General] ceesheim:
are the load times the same (bad) on the 8GB en the 16 GB ?
[HD7 General] DAVIZINHO:
Hello,

Someon with HD7 can try to load the game "retro spaces" and say us the load time.

Theres is a video in youtube that compare trophy with omnia and the diferences are big

Then it will be very interesting if anyone can try the HD7 with original sdcard and with other beter card
[HD7 General] ElysiumY2K:
Yea i can confirm this too.

It's ridiculous on how long it takes to load up Bejeweled. I use to own a iPhone (all versions) and the iPhone can load it up in 5-10secs (10secs for older versions of the iphones). 45 secs just to load a game like Bejeweled is insane.

I would of thought as a "entertainment phone", they could at least beef up the memory. Since the screen was a monster already, i was expecting the specs to match up to it's screen... sadly i was wrong...
[HD7 General] warpkid:
That game is not out yet - the video is from the developer of the game
[HD7 General] warpkid:
Whilst there is no doubt that the iPhone will load games quicker, as will other NAND based phones (omnia 7) Im hoping that the deficit between the two will shrink over time as the tools / sdk improves.

There is no way bejeweled should take 45 seconds to load. There just isnt that much to the game. Im hoping that a few patches down the line it will be a bit better at least.

Still, I would like to see the game loading on an omnia 7, which I imagine would do it at least twice as quick.

And, I suppose I have to take heart in the face that once loads performance will be the same. Just a shame it takes so bloody long.
[HD7 General] churchwa:
Takes 32 seconds on my HD7. Still not good enough, but defo Popcaps fault.
[HD7 General] Milky1:
Just checked on my Omnia 7, takes 15 seconds.
[HD7 General] loomx:
Yeh took about 28 seconds on my HD7
[HD7 General] brummiesteven:
Surely this is App related aswell.

Tetris for instance loads almost instantly.

I'm not doubting that the Omnia is probably faster, but I'm sure these slow loading times are due to the apps themselves.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Omnia FTW!

Hopefully someone can test a HD7 with a better SD card in it, that would be interesting.
[HD7 General] rafter_01:
HD7 doesnt have a SD slot!!???
[HD7 General] gms0012:
of course it does!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arache0n:
So after what seemed to be the art of bricking my Incredible over the weekend (dead, black screen), I think we have found a fix for it.

This is what we did to bring the phone back to life:

** Please note: Make SURE you have the correct drivers installed. I used the modified Android ones.

1.) Download the Android SDK, and then fire up a command shell in the Tools directory

2.) Boot the Incredible into Recovery:

* Pull battery, then put back in

* Hold Power and Vol Down for 5 seconds

* Wait 20 seconds

* Hit Vol Down once

* Hit Power

* Wait 20 seconds

3.) Check to make sure that ADB can see it by typing adb devices into the command shell you opened earlier

4.) Type adb reboot oem-78 into the command shell. I let the phone sit for a few minutes.

5.) Run the RUU from Shipped-Roms, located here: shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Incredible&file=RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe

Once the RUU finished running, my phone rebooted and my screen is alive!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjamscad:
Downloadding now I hope this works. I already called verizon and the replacement Phone should be here Wed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jobehonda:

Credit to be given where credit is due - I wouldn't have figured this out without Jobehonda's help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzio1963:
I would not say "bricked" inc, just screen was dead because there were no drivers installed for SLCD. My phone was "OK", when i called my own number, it rings, vibrates etc, just i was not able to see anything.

What i did was just got the stock 2.2 PB31IMG.zip from somewhere around here, and using "timing" in my mind, i just repeated flashing process as usually. The only difference was that i did not see what i was doing. For the first time it failed, but i got lucky after second time, and my phone (scree that is) is back to life.

Now, i just have to root it again using caution this time.... :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjamscad:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arache0n:
Well, right. But the phone is effectively useless with the screen problem. The big guns are calling it an "SLCD Brick," sooo...

Depends on where you put it. You should be able to get away with dropping that on the root of your C drive and still keep the long filename.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edcypher2k:
Jobehonda,

I'm stuck with my Black screen SLCD Dinc as well, doing the same mentioned above, and when I tried following your instructions it hasn't worked out for me so far. I can't get past the "adb devices" thing. It tells me "devices not attached" or someting to that effect after running the command. I may be doing something incorrectly... Could you be of assistance? I also posted a comment to your "Droid Incredible is a Pile" post on your site. Looking forward to you helping me bring my Droid back to life...

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edcypher2k:
Nevermind... I fixed my "SLCD Brick"!! I will post details later of how I did it...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
Well, for what it's worth your replacement phone might be an AMOLED.

A week or two ago I got a replacement for the 3G issue and recieved another AMOLED.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edcypher2k:
OK, this is, what fixed mine:

-pull battery, then put back in

-hold power + vol down for 5 seconds, nothing happened...

-then hold power down for 5 seconds, got 1 vibration...

-then hold vol up + power for 5 seconds, and to my surprise, screen turned on and only had 1 option: Hboot

-then left the screen up and took my SDcard out (the battery cover was off already) and I went to the following thread (how-to-update-your-droid-incredible-to-leaked-android-2-2); and downloaded the "PB31IMG.zip" file from step 1 and copied it over to my SDcard. Please "google" the thread title above... I'm not allowed to post full links because I'm a new user.

-then I put the SDcard back in, pull the battery, then put back in

-hold power + vol down for 5 seconds

-Boots into hboot and select Bootloader

-PB31IMG.zip will start to install.

**Note** Your phone might reboot to either hboot or recovery after trying to install PB31IMG.ZIP, just get back to hboot and install again, when you get back to hboot you should notice its version .92 and S-OFF is still on, just install PB31IMG.ZIP again and all should be good. I believe at one point after it updates hboot it has to reboot to finish the install, so this might be what you are seeing.

-Finally it will reboot and you should see HTC Screen, Droid voice/Red eye will load, and you will have a fresh new 2.2 Dinc un-rooted. You then can try re-rooting at your own risk!!

I basically used part of jobehonda's instructions, and part of the thread's instructions, combined with my own messing around with my phone to fix my "bricked SLCD" Dinc... I hope this can help others as well as it helped me! ; )

Just one more option to try... What the heck, your droid is already screwed, it can't get worse. Just try this!

BTW, a buddy of mine with a rooted Droid X, also helped me with getting this far for the last 3 days!! He helped me with searching all the droid forums out there and random sites to get answers... Thanks CLIFF!

edit

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jobehonda:
I am glad you figured it out, basically for the device to be recognized in adb you need to make sure your definately in recovery, if you follow the steps and count, one one thousand, two one thousand, etc etc you should be able to get it into recovery and recognized by adb.

the other thing is you need to make sure you have the HTC drivers installed prior, otherwise it wont recognize.
