[Q] Is there an easy way to do screen shot capture in 2.1?

While playing movies, for example, I want to capture the screen as a still picture. Same goes for a piece of info that I see on the webpage, etc.
In the iPhone environment,users could just press the power and home button simultaneously to capture it as a photo.
Is there anything like that on Android?

I only know one way and that requires root , then download app from market "Shootme"

Thanks for the info. Do you then assign a hardware button to do the capture? No problem capturing a movie while it is playing?

"Shootme" works by shacking phone left and right , i did not try capturing a movie but it should work it captures everything else on screen, there are more apps in market capable capturing screenshots , they all need root to best of my knowledge.

Shaking is a good way, as long as the orientation is not upset by it I guess.
Having go root the phone is a pity. Does anyone know of a non-root solution?

I dont have root either and i looked for screenshoot app as well, but i wasnt able to find any..
-TB-

It's due to Android's security settings that root is required to take screenshots.
No other way around it for now.

Read this thread, in the first post there is a link on how to take screenshots through the android SDK:
The screenshot thread

Wow, does it have to be this complicated just to capture screen?

Just wait for 2.2 if you don't want to root, since it will allow you to take a screenshot with .. I think it was the back-button and home-button.

Bluetooth allows it to connect to Bluetooth headsets and stuff from the app itself.
Disable keylock to allow you to accept calls from the app even when your screen is locked.
Audio record I'm guessing is to allow you to record from the app? But I'm not sure.
Viber has an SMS system in it...
Think of the others and how they can be implemented to HELP in using the app, rather than spy on you. Also, read all the conditions for all the other apps like it, and you will see that they are all very simular.
Use your common sense man, if it was malicious it would have been noticed officially and removed from the playstore.

Sending photos direct from camera? Pretty obvious really, this Thread is a waste of time and effort, there is nothing malicious there at all. Every thing can easily justified by valid functionality in the apps usage.

Yes, haha. I'm just guessing to be honest with you, but I would say that most of the permissions are common sense.

Yeah it is. There is a legit explanation for these permissions. I mean it's one of the most downloaded apps on the market and only HE decided to check the permissions?

viber
i dont know but i hope you read this carefully again
allows appplication to take pictuers and videos with the camera this allows the application at >>any time collect images the camera is seeing
THats on the website googleplay:
Allows the app to take pictures and videos with the camera. This permission allows the app to use the camera at >>>any time without your confirmation<<<<
i dunno you guys being so silly or brainwashed i dunno ? maybe you need to read more carefuly next time before you make fun off things you have no clue about -)
Well you can find excuses and say thats realy normal but its up to if you want to be 1 eyed or not =) + its up to you its your device and your life if you want an app control it its up to you but mine wont be =)

This is the ONLY way camera permissions are granted for an app. So the app developer has no choice but to include this permission whether he likes it or not. The "any time" part is beyond the developers control. Heck even Google Search requires this same permission. View the android manifest for more details. Don't be alarmed.
PS. Buddy I have rolled around in Android. So if you saying I have "no clue about" it is an understatement.

OP thanks for the Warning and Users will decide what they want to set their permissions for their apps. Thanks.

Quick for Wear - Reply with keyboards and quick replies on whatsapp, fb, hangouts etc

No root needed!

I just purchased it for my new Huawei watch. Let's see how it goes . Android Wear needs that sort of interaction (I cannot use voice all the time!)

Hi
The software works as advertised. Thanks for the excellent software. However, this is my wishlist:
In Whatsapp and Telegram notifications, the profile picture of the person who sent the message doesn't not appear on the watch if i use Quick for Wear. However, the picture appears if i disable Quick and use the standard Whatsapp
There is no emoji keyboard or no way to use at the same time Quick reply and draw an emoji feature of Google wear
This is limitation for Android Wear. If someones send a picture in Whatsapp, I only get a notification but i cannot see the image on the watch. I don't know if someone could write an app or if you can add this to Quick
Also a limitation of Android Wear (and not related to Quick), you can only reply to messages and not create a new message. I hope Google can implement this later
Again, Thank you for this app. Being able to reply to messages on the watch is great )

Let me answer you point to point:
This is normal. We have picture mirroring planned but not implemented yet.
You can actually access an emoji list long pressing the lightning icon
This could be done, but I'm not sure it would be a good idea to bring it in Quick. I'll investigate
This can be done only with root and xposed at the moment

Thanks for answers. I didn't know about the emoji, very handy I will be waiting for the picture mirroring
Too bad i cannot root my S6 without tripping Knox so xposed is out of the question at the moment. Sending a SMS or hangout is not as popular as Whatsapp here

Do you have planned to add the number 4? It would be very cool if I can send messages without waiting for somebody to message me and Instead just open an app in my watch and send it directly.

Enable issue
Just bought the app recently but can't seem to enable the notification/app. Currently using the Huawei p8w 5.0.1 with a moto 360 v1.
After selecting the app for notifications, it still shows up as "Disabled"
Tried changing the notification settings but still not working, app isnt showing up on my watch either.
Anyone with the same issue?

try restarting your phone. the state you see there is directly changed by the operating system, so if it's not changing, it's because the phone is not giving permissions to access notifications to the app.

Not really, Quick was projected as a no-root solution. Wear Messenger has an xposed module and antiviruses keep throwing false alarms on it. (and the 360 security support is not doing anything). I don't want the same plague to kill Quick.

Yes, please keep it as a non-root solution. Or in case you ever implemented it, maybe use a two programs solution: one normal and one root
Thx

Hey ! I own the Moto 360 2nd and "Quick for Wear".
Problem: I enabled the keyboard but if i get a whatsapp message i cant repley with keyboard
WHY? pls help me.

Hi
Sometimes, the toggle for Quick for Wear is set by itself to disable, However, the toggle is still on in the notification access settings. I have to re-enable it to start receving notifications on the watch.
It is totally random

About point 3, I don't know if it's possible but it would be awesome if you can add it. Maybe a good way to open the image and not make the conversation difficult to read is, when someone send an image you will see in the chat: Image, and when you tap on it you see the image.
I don't know how difficult it would be, I really like your work with that app, as bought it some days ago and I'm so happy with it but if you can add it the app will be just perfect.

background access

So I've been getting notifications that Google allo has been using the camera in the baground And screen over lay, I'll add a screen shot as well. Anybody got an idea as to why it would be using the camera in the background? I haven't used the camera on the app at all, and I can't remember the last time I did.

Did you try to attach any pic? That might gave it camera permission.
Anyway you can disable that permission in settings/apps/google allo.

I did end up going in, and disabling the camera permission. I was taking pictures around that time, but with the camera app, and not sending them with allo. I just stored them on the phone. Its just my paranoia that makes me feel like it's taking a peak at my pictures even when I don't use the app, which it probably is doing.

Try using a screen recording app to capture what you're experiencing & post it here.
Otherwise,you're not giving the membership here much to go on to aid you in troubleshooting the issue.
A bit more info on which 3rd party apps you have that may be the culprit would be helpful as well.
Or,you can probably figure it out on your own by using Safe Mode:
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-note-9/safe-mode/
Once in Safe Mode,the phone is running only the factory-installed apps.
One by one,start using the other apps you've loaded up until you see the issue arise again. & you'll have the culprit.

You could upload the .gif to any number of places (You-Tube,Imgur/etc.....)& post the link to it,but,since you're a new member,I think you have to have a minimum amount of posts before that is enabled.
IDK what the threshold is,but,in the meantime,try using the safe mode method I posted.
it's a sure-fire way to troubleshoot,if not a long process,depending on how many user-installed apps you need to re-enable before the problem arises again.
Please keep us posted on your results & WELCOME TO XDA-DEVELOPERS! :good:
