Really,? thats pretty interesting. i have not heard about this, are you sure he doesnt have shoot me installed?

Yeah, that would be cool. A button combo of sorts. I mean really, using the Palm Pre, it was Sym + Option + P, if I recall correctly. Screen capture just built in the OS. I'm glad that there are ways to capture screenies in Android, but I'd prefer a key combination to either shaking the phone or using a timer...

Hmmm...this is intriguing. I'm going to see if I can look into this a bit more.

 

[dehydorn#CB]

yup I wouldnt have believed it had i not seen it myself... (he doesnt even know what a screen capture app is for) it made the camera noise and everything... we tried to recreate but to no avail... but sure enough he has a screen capture saved in his gallery of his betjamaica.com account lol

well check carefully he could have downloaded it by accident

I have done it twice myself but forgot what buttons u push to do it. No extra app downloaded

Ok just remembered. U can only do it with physical keyboard. What u do is hold back button first then click the home button.

Awsome, ok this really needs to be looked into

 

[jbuggydroid]

Figured it out!!!!!!

On physical keyboard press and hold back button then press home button. That does it in landscape. To do it in portrait do this slide ur keyboard out just so that the tip if ur thumb can hit and hold the back key with the screen still staying in portrait. Then just tap the capacitive home button and there ya go

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

Can anyone else replicate this?

 

[sole_elite_xx3]

nope doesn't work.

 

[Addie_Goodvibes]

doesn't work

 

[jbuggydroid]

Really? Man I just did it like twice as I type.

 

[jbuggydroid]

Try holding back button on keyboard then tap the capacitive home button.

works !!!! I remember posting about seeing a 'screencapture service' in the background process a while back and no one knew what it was..

see for my screen shot http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-epic-4g/47002-froyo-out-epic-18.html#post461702

UPDATE: It created a folder called ScreenCapture on my card ! AWESOME !!!

I can replicate this & I'm on 2.2 DK28, just not in portrait. Havin a hard time.

I just did it in landscape. Portrait was a bit harder. For portrait mode, I'll stick with ScreenShot or Shoot Me.

 

[Since9600]

I found portrait to be easy if I just used the tip of my finger to slowly push open that one area as you cant open the screen too much...

 

[jjayr41]

yes this works. i'm running dk28 on epic 4g...finally i got screenshots!!

thank god someone figured this out... it would have driven me nuts!
