Screen capture on Rogers 2.3.3 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does anyone know how to take screenshots? I mean stock method, no extra app or root.
My sister said she accidentally took one, and it gave a message saying "screen captured" but she can't figure out how she did it.
I've searched around quite a lot and can't find the right information.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, you have to be rooted.

No, there is a stock, non-root function now. She triggered it accidentally, multiple times, and would like to know how.

Any ideas how to uncensor my youtube app?

So i discovered the october ota update actually locked the Safesearch filtering option in the youtube app (it's all grayed out). Are there any ways to fix this besides just searching the vids thru the m.youtube site? It annoys me, cuz i can't find my favorite music video cuz it has 'Dickhead ' in the title!

Might try and uninstall it and get one from another build. Shocked others havent noticed. I dont use it much myself so never noticed. Just checked the one on froyo and its not locked.
Yep, AT&T blocked this. See below for the app from a Fascinate dump. I removed the AT&T one, pushed this using ADB. It's unblocked.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that definitely worked to downgrade the youtube app, but did i lose the HQ button with the old version?

Never noticed this but yes. I never use the app anyway. You could always flash Froyo and use a browser with Flash.

Also I've seen this being an issue on HTC Evo on Sprint, and also one of Motorola's Droids on Verizon so is/was every carrier doing this? It's pretty pathetic. I mean I get the idea of SafeSearch for kids but to have that turned on for everyone? Oh no I might see a video with a swear word! I'm not a child, and the "Being a Dickhead's cool" song is hardly offensive anyway. PS funny song by the way.
1.6.20(E) seems to be having this in every version. I guess the E stands for "emasculated". None of the other Youtube versions seem have the (E).

When I ask Corporate America to become my parent or protect me from evil, you'll be sure to see it in the headlines. Until then, I have two great parents, who have taught me right from wrong and how to act in public and etc.. I don't need some third party to protect me from the evils of the internet.
Give me my uncensored internet! And thanks for the fix Cappysw10!
So I went back to 1.6.20(emasculated) edition and will use the work around to search youtube's mobile site instead of through the app. But what I'm planning to do is try to talk to Samsung about this because I want to see the response. The HTC people have been blaming Sprint about this. But I heard it was fixed in Froyo... so if we can only get that..
What I think actually happened is the guys that wrote the app somehow disabled the adjustment. It could actually be a bug, instead of willful censorship like we are assuming. I've had programs in windows that have grayed menu settings based on some faulty registry settings.
There appears to be an update for the YouTube app in the market that fixes this now. It does allow you to alter the SafeSearch parameters. Check it out.
um can you be more specific about the update? like the full name so i can find it

[Q] Search keeps popping up on captivate

Hello everyone
I have recently developed this annoying issue with my captivate running 2.2. When I am reading my txt messages, I keep getting a search window pop up, without me hitting the search kit on the phone. It sometimes flashes in and out of the search and it sometimes even brings out the voice search. Each time I have to hit the back key a few times to get back to composing my txt or reading it. I've done a search on the net and I don't seem to be the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't seem to find a solution for it either. It is starting to get more frequent. How can I fix this issue? Do I have a virus?
It could be on the rom your on, if your on one or stock? Or maybe it could be a hardware error
Next time state what rom, kernel, elect your on. So that can help people make more sense off the problem

Hey speedy_11
Thanks for your reply. Forgive me I am a newbie so I will try my best. The phone is an At&t phone that I unlocked and use on the Fido network in Canada. The current firmware version is 2.2, the kernel version is 2.6.32.9 and the build number is FROYO.UCKB1
I don't have any roms just the regular Samsung update. Where do I go from here?

development- unlock the bootloader

I want to take another stab at unlocking the bootloader, I see the forums seem to be next to dead and i believe if we can successfuly unlock this thing it will breath a bit of new life into our device. anyone who is willing to help and has some information to share please post it here. ive got a few ideas on people to talk to.

Because we have a pretty good device, and development was great for a while but the bootloader has kept this device from being truly great for a long time. i think if we can crack it it would bring back some development. and not only that but if we can find a way to crack this maybe we can put our information forward to other motorola devices with the same issue. id love to have the kernel options, and variety of roms available ive had on past devices. the og evo was awesome for that one reason. and i honestly believe its possible....

An unlocked bootloader would make no difference. With kexec we can bypass and use a custom kernel anyways. However the custom kernel is still in development as motorola never released an ics/JB kernel

I think it would be great to crack the bootloader. However, has any phone with a locke bootloader been cracked without a leak from the manufacturer?
Moto must be using pretty large bit keys to lock the bootloader. You'll have to be lucky to crack it, not good.
I don't really see the actually bootloader lock changing in anyway. As said above kexec is a good system, just have to be patient.

For CM7 you need a 3rd party app like camera 360
I know that we have Kexec on D3, but I'm going to try an experiment on the Bootloader this weekend to see if I can unlock it. Reason being other devices do not have kexec and something crazy happened last night at work. In short, I cracked an AES encryption on a Motorola Radio(the ones Ambulances use). I know that may not sound like much, but I think I might have a way to do the same method on the Bootloaders for our Motorola Phones. I don't wanna go into too many details on it, but I'll try to get you guys a response next week sometime.
Please lol no trolling, I just like trying things. Chances are the method may not work.

[Q] Xposed Framework with No Root?

Is this at all possible? I've looked around for answers, and this thread suggests it's possible. But everywhere else I've looked says you MUST be rooted. Having Xposed would sure make our AT&T non-rooted S5's much more bearable! Any thoughts?
Xposed framework requires root. Plus many of the modules use root as well.

Some do work without being rooted. Ultimate Dynamic Navbar (udn) and Cool Tool both work and they are on Play. They don't need to have xposed framework installed either. Some people will never know if they don't try and they are not helping you by just making a blanket 'that will never work' statement. Anyway check them out they will keep you busy for a while..they are both good apps..have fun!

Get rid of custom lock pad on reboot

This is what I use to get rid of the custom lock pad sign from the bootloader when you reboot. Some people got it after they rooted and disabled some apps like me. It's in wanam xposed. Below is a pic to show where it is. It works very well. It takes a couple reboots after you enable it for it to take effect. But after that I have not seen it come back at all. Just wanted to share my findings with others. Hopefully it helps others who may have been looking for the same solution.

It's good to know, but a flash of the SM-G900A firmware from here on XDA, minus the BL bootloader file, gets rid of that anyway. It's not that big of a deal whether it's there or not, unless you're taking the phone in for warranty service.

No one said it was a big deal or not. It's sharing of information that is what xda is all about. And since there is no other post in our forum about it, this is why I shared. Has nothing to do with what way is better or being a big deal.

I did this and rebooted mine 5 times.. Never went away. Xposed is working fine because i also added screen shot to menu and the reboot options. but cant get rid of the security lock back to normal.
All i did was that i download the latest supersu from chainfire updated su binary reboot and got that lockpad away

It's always the same thing every time a new Samsung phone comes out. Maybe I can save some people some time and tell you each phone can and will show the custom lock icon at different times no matter what you do. In other words, if you do something that stops it from showing on your phone, there is absolutely NO guarantee that the same method will stop it from showing on someone else's phone. The scan that selects if the custom status or unlock icon is shown or not occurs on each individual phone at the time of boot. Therefore, depending on the current state of each phone, it might show or not show. The only real way to stop it from showing is through a mod (located in the AT&T S4 section) that actually modifies system files. X-posed modules just cover the icon, so the appearance is just graphical. It works for most (though it isn't truly changing anything), but for some it still doesn't. AGAIN. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WORKS ON YOUR PHONE,DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL WORK ON OTHERS...it just might.

This forum isn't just about you. Posts like yours FAIL to mention that it might not work for everyone trying it so people that it doesn't work for are left wondering what they did wrong. When in fact, they have done nothing wrong. Mentioning what works for you is great, but stop getting so offensive when someone adds more information or states that your solution might not work for everyone. You should be welcoming the addition of useful information instead of acting like "nothing was brought to YOUR thread" because you didn't know about it or mention it. A little research about X-posed and SysScope should be done by anyone wanting to permanently get rid of the custom lock icon.
Not only did I mention that X-posed might not work for some, but I also mentioned a permanent modification to get rid of the custom icon instead of just covering it up with X-posed modules. Now how exactly did my paragraph have nothing to do with this topic?

you win man. i'm not on xda to pump my chest and try to sound better than others. i'll leave that to you. i only shared what i found that worked. as i said you could have just moved on instead of starting an argument. but i'm not going to continue to give you attention with this. so anything you have to say from here on out i wont be able to see. have a good night.
Thread is closed at the request of the OP.
XDA appreciates all who share knowledge of things that work, and things that only work for some. With all the different devices and multitudes of "add-ons", what works for some people, might not work for others.
Cheers
MD
