Or if you have ADB installed, you could run ddms.bat (from the tools folder I believe is where it's at) to capture a screen shot. You must have USB debugging enabled also.

You're probably better off just downloading one of the programs these guys are telling you about then. They will all get the job done for you.

If you are already rooted, shoot me from the market works really well as a previous poster stated. I have no experience with the other apps.

what he meant was a program called "ShootMe"
and you gotta be rooted.

Confused
My vibrant is taking random screenshots of my phone. I will be doing something random like texting or surfing online and I will hear a click from the camera. The bottom of my screen will say screenshot saved. I dont know what I am doing to cause this. Sure there is times I would like to take a screenshot if I knew how it worked, but these are so random. I am running 2.2 and have not installed any apps for that function

Swype

www(dot)swypeinc(dot)com
does this work on legend? it doesnt on mine but may be because needs to be rooted to work, the demo works and ive got it switched on for text input but doesnt actually use swype in texts or anything.
anyone else tried this?
It's working, even without root.

Maybe you have to google for a newer version.
It's working here also nicely. Using the open beta. Just wishing for more language packs, like German and Indonesian.
I s/l it and have it selected as the keyboard, but it won't come up as the keyboard.... am I doing something wrong?

The beta works flawlessly for me so far.. Make sure to enable it in your input options. Takes a bit to get used to and I definitely recommend finishing the tutorial (and I'm not a tutorial kinda person) and even reading the tips. It's wicked once you get used to it.
The keyboard will appear as below when properly enabled.

sorry for the late reply guys, it does work on legend. once you have selected it under keyboard settings. when you go to a text message for example do a long press in the text box and it will say change input method. change this to swype

Market - Update All

I really hate Android Market. It's probably the worse app of all android apps (ironical isn't it?).
But one of the things that really makes me crazy is the "Update All" feature. It just never works! Not only that, it actually makes things worse!
Usually it tries to download all things at once which soon causes a crash of the app or device, after which the progress of all apps just stays stuck, even when they're 100% downloaded!
Then the only solution is to go over all of the apps, one by one, cancelling the download (after which the app is shown as "not installed" in the market!) and installing again.
So this superduper feature costs even more time than updateing one-by-one would!
Am I the only one experiencing this? I really hate it!

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I could be wrong but I don't think 1.6 supports the update all feature. In any case, I've never had that problem on either my streak or nexus one. Maybe if you cleared the cache in the market app that might help.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
it causes errors when an application that needs update requires permissions. these are not properly handled by 1.6 but should work in 2.2.
I just use AppBrain. Very useful to remember what apps you have installed if you have to do a total reset too.

Because Market gets often automatically updated and I hoped they'd fix such a problem soon (naive, I know).

Nice video. Some nice apps there. :good:
I'll be sure to add Glovebox (and Relaunch, mentioned by one of your viewers) soon to my launcher page, when I get around to updating it.
I knew about Glovebox and Flipaclip but the others are great... thanks.

[Q] Qslide question

Currently running the Nocturnal 2.1 ROM.
On the SnowJB ROM, when you use QSlide while watching a video, it will open it in a little window and you are allowed to move that window all around the screen, resize it and use the transparency thing. However, on the Nocturnal ROM, it only allows me to change the transparency.. I can't move it or resize it. It's just stuck on the top half of the screen. Which is slightly annoying to me :/
Does anyone know how to bring over SnowJB's QSlide over to Nocturnal? I would just switch over to SnowJB, but my Wi-Fi keeps dropping out even though I'm 10 feet from my router.

the nocturnal rom is based off if the att jb update... snowjb is ported from international jb which has a way better qslide feature so nothing is wrong... just how it is...
you can try this though the system ui has the same qslide as snowjb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328662

Anyone else hate the stock wallpapers?

From time to time I like to utilize a good stock wallpaper for maybe the lock screen or so forth....
Am I the only one that thinks that the stock wallpapers really suck on this phone? There is only one that I like... Just a thing I guess....

You can always customize the wallpaper.
It's not a real big deal. Just an observation... Wondered if it was just me... Haha. Guess it is. <walks away in awkward silence>

I actually like the dark ones - very elegant! To each his own I guess!
I have the green wavey one on my lock screen, that being said I'll probably swap it eventually because the white spots when viewed from and angle keep freaking me out that part of the display has gone bad. I'm partial to the geometric android stock wallpapers and I found and app called plastexo in the app store that has some intersting 2d vector style designs.
I changed mine within minutes of getting the device...

If think this is kinda funny. This is the first And only phone I have not changed the home screen yet. Lock screen yes. I think the stock home is just so simple yet elegant. Everything just pops off the screen.. Ive tried to make black backgrounds over the years but never liked them. This one. I like..?
