Screenshots - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This question has probably been asked a million times but I can't seem to find the answer to it. How do you take screenshots on a captivate (natively). I've done it before by accident but haven't been able to do it again. Anyone know how?

[Q] angrybirds?

has anyone installed this? do i need to enable sideloading bc i cant seem to find it
There's another thread already that would have answered your question. Yes people have installed it, no you don't need sideloading, and you can't find it cause there's been so much traffic to the publisher's website that it's crashed.
Search is your friend:
Look at this thread, as mentioned by miztaken1312

Yep, I got it from the market. Make sure you get the correct one, someone else has a .99 or 1.99 paid app that is a rip-off. The beta is free.
Very fun game BTW.

Screenshot app

Hi there
Us there a screenshot app that will work with my device? Its not unlocked or rooted (its just a stock device)
Cheers!

Your device must be rooted to make screenshot on the device itself.
The only way to make screenshots without root is the Android-SDK.
Here is a tutorial
I don't know any other method.

Root procedure is done in a few minutes. Then install 'ShootMe' (available in Market) and you can take screenshots when you shake your phone.

What exactly is rooting and what does it do? Is it the same as unlocking the device? How do I do it?
What are the upsides and downsides to rooting?
Thanks!

If you root your device, you have access to the root partition of your phone. You can change whatever you want.
I don't know any downside

Yup, this is exactly why I rooted my Nexus. No more ads and ShootMe is great!!!
Can't find ShootMe in the market.. has it been removed ?
Download "No Root Screenshot It" from the Market. Its $4.99 but its the only way that you can take screenshots without root.

that never worked for me. it's a total waste of money imo. just use the sdk. it's super easy if you don't want to root

Found a better app in market called Screencast. You can record video to. Link below.

I was talking about no root screenshot it lol. I found it much easier to just use the sdk for screenshots, plus both of those require root so they don't really help the op
I think for the best quality use ddms. If you have SDK installed plug your phone in, open command prompt and type
ddms
Then device> screen capture

This worked way better than trying to root my phone.
I had some issues earlier in the day trying to figure out why my DDMS wouldn't work and since I've been using Eclipse, this tutorial worked WAY better and faster. I didn't have anything to install, just didn't know how to get to it within Eclipse. Now I do.
Now if only I knew how to "thank" this post..... (Yeah, I'm a Noob.)
I actually made a youtube video about this last week for Mac users.

Make sure you watch it in HD for better quality.
The youtube video converter is a mess!

Att address book

Can someone copy the Att address book apk and post it? I uninstalled with ti backup and did not back it up. Now my contacts wont work.

LOL!! I did the same thing I would also appreciate that file if some can get it up loaded that would be so sweet

Are you getting the AAB Initializing... when going into contacts? That's what I'm getting
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
lol! Okay, first why would you uninstall the contact app that the other contact apps are going to be based off?
Second if someone can tell me how to find and share the apk file, I'll be more than happy to. I have the myappsharer app and that seems to be the one app that it won't let me share.
I think this is the APP that your looking for, let me know if it's not.

BETTER CONTACTS APP!!!
search market for "contapps" has a logo of a penguin...
i love this contact app and when you go to manage a contact it doesnt divert you to the installed contact app manager!!!
hey chrismcgraw... could you do me a favor and make a backup and post a copy of the "get 3d games" app link.. i heard it gives you 7 free games and i already deleted it cause i thaought it was bloatware... lol
thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the file...its the correct one, with the correct name, despite getting it in the right place, something is still missing. I tried an alternate Contacts.apk to no avail either.
Maybe if someone can post a list of the files found in /system/app I can pin-point what's missing...isn't there an odex file that goes with it?
I installed go contacts from the market and now my contacts show up in there so I'm back in business yeah buddy

I was going to say the same thing as you dude. LOL!
i do the same thing and regretting...Here's an idea:backup the contacts apk&odex in p920 by using system app remover to restore the backup in p925?
Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Address Book re-installed? I've tried both of the .apk files that were in this thread but no dice. "Application failed to install." Currently using a replacement contact app but that isn't really ideal. Any ideas?
System apps are always hard to reinstall on official rom...I called AT&T and they helped me with 2 hours and no result...the only thing we can do is waiting for the new rom or return it(if you buy it within 30 days and this is what i want to do)
This is how you do, install root explorer , copy the At&t....apk to system, (app) folder then restart.

Mango manga reader

I used to have this app, but now when I go to the market, the app is there, but the download link isn't. I noticed this with a few other Apps to... Anyone know why this happens? with the other app, I found the latest apk file and installed from there and this fixed the market link.
If it helps, i'm on pinnacle 1.2.
In the meantime, Anyone have the apk for the new mango?

Not really sure if this will help you or not but I searched for it and it popped right up I'm on fasty II and I'm running the new market I know some time depending on what market your running at&t filters out filters out some stuff not sure if it helped but there some info. Hope you get it figured out.

Thanks for checking your market. I'm wondering if it may be because i'm in Canada and maybe there are some restrictions because of that.
Just to clarify my first post, I do find these apps in the market, but most of them do not have download buttons. If I find the corresponding apk and install from there though, then next time I look in the market, the update /uninstall buttons are there.
Once again, thanks for your help. I'll try another rom and see if it's different
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I found the problem! I had changed my screen dpi, which seems to have caused some of the download buttons to disappear on the market. Just restated with native resolution and that solved the problem.
I hope that this can help people on the future.
And thanks to the dude that checked their market fir me. I'll thank you when I get to a computer

[Q] KFHD App.

Hello. I was wondering if one of you could put your huge brains to work on making an apk run on KFHD7. The app is for a local news station in Portland, Oregon.
GooglePlay link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsImNvbS5rcHR2LmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlciJd
It just doesn't work on the KFHD7 yet. Or at least I'm not able to download it from the market. I've tried to find it online, but the links all take me to the market or the 1 or 2 apk's I find don't run. I hope that this app just needs a few tweaks. But I am part noob, so what do I know.
There's no way that I would expect someone to do this. If it's a pain in the rear, then I would forget about it. If the process can be explained easily, then maybe someone could tell me how to do it. If not then, oh well.
Many thanks for even taking the time to read this.
If you have it installed on another android device, go to your Data/app folder and get the .apk yourself.

I tried that too. It didn't work. That's why I figured it would need some tweaks to get it to work on Kindle. It's pretty cool app for what it is.
