Hi guys, I just got my new replacement Bell Samsung galaxy S and have gotten things running on it again, but the damn thing keeps going into some weird screen capture.
What happens is that when I hit the "back" button it will go dark and the "menu" button will light up. repeatedly hitting the back button will do nothing, and hitting the menu button will do nothing. Pressing the center "home" button will take a picture of what I have displayed on the screen.
I go and check my running applications and it shows this "screen capture service" running. I stop it and then I continue on what I'm doing and it happens again, going back to the running apps and it is back.
The only way it seems I can use my "back" button is if i hit the "volume" button on the side and then both the "back" and "menu" buttons will light up, and then I have to wait until they both go dark before I can hit the "back" button and have it work. if I hit it will they are lit up it goes back into the screen capture "mode"
The phone came in the mail with I9000UGJL2, firmware 2.2.
Any advice on how to permanently kill that damn screen capture thing would be greatly appreciated because it is driving me nuts. I get a way with maybe 2 "back" button pushes where it works and then it goes into that mode
Same problem...
Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (Facinate)
It seems that by pressing the back button too quickly puts you in the Screen Capture mode...Back button dims but the Menu button stays lit. I found that if I push the Home button that take s the screen shot, then wait for both the Menu and Back button to come on and then lowlight, I can then hit the back button and continue on for a while?
Package name: com.sec.android.app.screencapture
Source: /system/app/ScreenCaptureService.apk
Please, I would like to find out more about this app in order to try and control it. It really slows moving back when you have to wait for the Menu and Back buttons to lowlight before you can hit the back button again!
Just after posting the above, I was able to Force Stop the package and I have not had a problem with the phone going into screen capture mode since.
Woohoo!
My i9100 built-in Screen Capture Service default output is png format. How can I change it to jpeg format?

Hello,
I got my device two days ago and all seems to work well. However, the hardware button that launches the camera application does not seem to respond when I click on it. Is anyone else experiencing this too? Is tyour camera application launching fine when you click on the camera hardware button found on the side of the device?
Thanks,
Gilbert
Half press or Full press...
The Camera has a setting that turns it on with either a Half press or a Full press of the side button.
It defaults to FULL so if you're at the Today Screen for example, Press it and then press it in MORE. That's the FULL Press.
Once you're in the camera, you can change the setting to turn it on with a HALF press of the button.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is a lovely feature, How many times I take my Hermes out of the puch when I get a phone call and find that teh camera is on...
then, does the camera button of the kaiser work the same way as a shutter button in a photo camera?.... half press for focus, then it's focused, you can move the subject.... then full press for making photo?
Yes, that's exactly how it works. There is a rectangle in the middle of the screen that turns green when the image is in focus. After that rectangle turns green, push the camera button down further to take the picture! Great feature as long as you have a VERY steady hand, otherwise your picture will turn out blurry.
Hey guys,
I've got this problem. See, after sliding my fingers across the tabs, checking sms's, turning on wi-fi, and trying to logon to FB using the app I can't lock the device
What happens is, everytime i hold the hw "end" key to lock the device, nothing happens and the instant I let go, my touchflow goes to my "favourites" and if I hit the end key again, it continues going to next tab.
When I hit the "<--" key, it goes to the left tabs in the touchflow.
While doing this the directional and center button work, but the "talk" and "home" button don't work.
The only fix that I know of is rebooting the phone. But on some occasions I have been able to manage to get it to lock again.
Cheers!
Help! HTC raphael - tried every rom there is and still can't believe all the buttons I have to push to end a call and go home. First, the screen blacks out while on a call, so when the call is over I have to hit the power button to bring the screen back, then hit the end button (assuming the screen hasn't magically gone to something else), then hit an x button to leave the caller's page, then hit the home button, then the power button to turn off the screen again.
Does anyone know of an app that can simply end a call and go home with one touch? Maybe a better dialer is what I mean? Thanks.
Mortscript & button mapping could resolve this.

I believe rotate screen is press and hold power button for 3 seconds
You also have to go into the settings and enable rotation

Rotating the screen for HTC Touch
I've used handcent for quite a long time but don't think there's a way for the messenger to auto rotate at starting. Just hold in power button for 3 seconds (as mentioned above by KralHiPolymer), let go, and wait for the rotate... This works when ever you want your screen to rotate to landscape, and again to rotate back to portrait mode. You might find the the keyboard pops up after this so you'll have to hit the back button (old camera button) once to pop the keyboard back down if you don't need it up, or alternatively hold in power button for just 1 second.
(this happens because if you hold in the same power button for only 1 second and let go it triggers the on-screen keyboard on and off)
Landscape mode is great for getting your keyboard keys a little bit larger for easier txt'ing!
If you search the forums close enough you'll find all kinds of cool button tricks (hard and soft) for your Vogue.
So a while ago my screens LCD cracked and stopped working so forward a few months and I get a new screen, and everything was fine except for the fact that my menu and back buttons don't work. Because everyone I press the menu button, the little right click like options op open but then a second later the a finder opens. Everytime I trap the back button it does nothing, but if I tap the menu key then the back back button really fast then the menu stays open, I also noticed that if I press the back button with my s pen then it works.
I just really want to have the original features of my phone if anyone is having the same problem as me or just knows how to fix it please respond. Thank you
