My phone is rooted, and I did give permission to drocap2, however, when I take a picture, it's just not being saved. I view the phone from the computer and the pictures just don't show up in the drocap folder.
I've got the same problem!
I use MyPhoneExplorer instead. Works every time!
none of the screen cap programs are working as of yet aside from using the sdk
I feel like this shouldn't be a problem. Google should be programming a screencap feature into android.

Hi,
According to skype blog, skype for android is available for all android phones with version 2.1 or higher
http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html
When I search for skype on the market I don't find it, when I try skype.com/m I get a message saying that my handset is not yet supported. However my X10 has 2.1 Eclair which by all means meet skype requirements. Any idea?
None at all... I installed Skype just fine. Maybe it's a geographical thing?
I'd stick the apk in my dropbox for you, but I can't remember where android stores them, and I can't extract the titanium backup one without the pc (I'm not at home right now).
EDIT: ok, figured out how (they're in /data, not /system) but is it allowed? Since it's a free app there should be no problem, right guys?

I guess so, I know many did put the .apk files here as long as it is free from the developer, we're against piracy
I've tried it as soon ac I updated my phone, but every time I start the app it says that it will not work with my task manager, so took it off

is there any fix for the market to make me able to find skype?
Just search for Skype apk online. That's what I did. You're right in that it doesn't appear in market and Skype's site says it's not available. I had that issue too.
Seems to take longer to sign in after 2.1 but works fine otherwise.
I used Appbrain and installed from my desktop browser using the web installer its so much easier and pushes directly to your phone no opening of market app required. As for Skype i find i like the way it works with the x10 i always have skype set to away on my desktop so when i sign in on my phone its kind of like a remote skype because it doesn't log me out from the desktop application.
Also from what ive noticed the notification sound when someone sends you a message only plays on the last device you logged into, so for example if i am on desktop Skype then later log in on my x10, Skype will mute desktop notifications and the phone notifications will play and vice versa kinda interesting.
In all i like the fact that we can make voice calls just wish we could accept video even though we cant send (no front facing camera, app limitations I'm guessing?). Skype is the whole reason I bought an X10 in the first place. Sorry for the long first post by the way, I just thought id add my two cents and experiences with skype for x10

I find apktor invaluable for getting apps that don't appear on my market. That's how I got Google Earth.

I notice that some people are able to show screen shots of their phone on the internet, how do I get a screen capture of my screen and show it on the computer? Also, is there a way to maneuver on the phone and have it show on the computer as well?
Yeah give me a min to get to the computer to get the name.

Okay, thanks dude. Also, do you happen to know what I can use for the same process for an iPod Touch?
Its called QtADB, u will need android-sdk, aapt and i belive your phone rooted. Just google search QtADB and it will have links to everything if I remember correctly. Dont know about the ipod
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
I use QtADB as well, and would have been my recommendation, but given that it requires the installation of the Android SDK, if you don't want to download and install that then there are apps on the market to do screenshots/screen captures. You'll have to search for them, I don't have any of them installed.
I use shootme(in the market), but you have to be rooted. You simply run the program, then shake the phone when you want to take a screenshot.
There's another app called: Drocap2 for root users. Obviously you need root, but there are some handy ways for taking screen captures such as having the icon in the notification bar and clicking it.

This didn't used to happen, but I noticed it about a month and a half ago. Early on with this phone picture messages would come in fine...I could click on them and they'd look normal when they open up in the gallery. Those messages from then still look fine and function normally. But any picture messages I've received in the last month or so don't work right...They download to my phone (when I have mobile data on, which makes sense), but there's a play button over the picture. When I click on it it it opens up the photo but it looks tiny and I can't zoom in or anything or open with the gallery, etc. If I longpress the message without opening it, it only lets me play as slideshow which is still reallllly small. If I "download attached to SD card" it saves in my file system and when I open it up later it looks normal. But I don't want to have to download every picture message I get to my SD card just to look at it...
What's the deal here? I use GoSMS but I got this problem sometime after I started using that. Either way, the problem occurs in my stock app as well. I can't remember if this coincides with when I flashed GingerBlur or not...
FYI, this happens when I get messages from any iPhone AS WELL as friends with android phones. Any thoughts?
EDIT: also, if anyone thinks it IS GoSMS though, let me know! I don't remember this happening when I first started using it, but I dunno I'm willing to try all possibilities. Maybe a rogue setting in GoSMS is screwing it up?
Not GOSMS. I get the problem with the GingerBlur messaging, as well as stock Atrix messenger.

Interesting, so that should mean GoSMS, the GingerBlur flash or the stock GingerBread messaging app aren't causing it...hmmm...
This is an android issue. Had the same issue when using my nexus one, Dell streak 5 and now the Atrix. It sucks. Never found a way to fix it. Some messages used to come through fine but I haven't notice any work lately at all. They all come through like a small video file and are much smaller in size unless I copy to the sd card.
I'll try to grab some friends phones ( evo 4g, epic 4g, droid x) and see what it's like on their phones.
I also noticed that with animated gifs as well! They are showing up to people as pics only and are very small in size no matter how big they originally were! It's quite aggravating and I tried gosms, handscent, chompsms, and a crapload of others and none are working right!
This is not a problem... This happens when the MMS has several "slides", for example, a picture and some text.
If it only includes a picture, you see it directly.

I see. That's quite absurd, and even if it isn't a real Android problem, this should be changed...
I dunno if it's the dual cams, or GB, but all my screen shots are borked.
I've tried ShootMe and ScreenShot which just distort the images something fierce.
I've seen some people post screen caps so it must be possible but I havent seen a single post here about it and I've had nothing but problems....
Whatcha using, or whats the workaround ?
[edit
This is what they come out like...
DroCap2 works a treat for me.
give that one a shot, it's free and on marketplace as well.
Thx bud, as you said, works a treat...
DDMS tool - Android SDK
I use the DDMS tool that you can find in the Android SDK package.
How do you get it to not show the start and cancel options
Edit : got it had to use notification trigger and set the image as jpeg if not they'd come out choppy

Doesn't work properly for me. Seems buggy. Most of the time when it captures a screen, you see the "DroCap2 has been granted superuser..." popup on top of what you are capturing. And most of the time the screen has improper line shifts and blocking issues where it appears the screen got captured mid-refresh.

I also use Android SDK/DDMS. Will try DroidCap2, but i dont have high expectations. No screencap app has worked yet, as im not rooted and wont be until full root is possible (perm).
Did notice tho that live wallpapers cause tearing in the screen caps.
EDIT: Droidcap2 needs root, so i wont be able to try it, so far DDMS has worked well, screenshots on my facebook page linked in my sig
Does anyone else's camera force close when clicking on the little gallery button in the bottom right corner of the screen? It FCs every time I do it.
I'm rooted, stock, with a few customizations, but even if I go all the way back to full stock it still force closes.
This happened to me after I downloaded a flashlight app. Once I closed the flashlight app the camera worked fine. I uninstalled the flashlight and added a different one ( Tiny Flashlight + LED) and had no problems.
Are you using a flashlight app?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Good thought, interesting. I did have one installed, but it's been uninstalled since. I cleared dalvik, cleared data, but it's still happening...
Are you able to open the gallery using any other method?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
yeah, I can open it using the gallery icon,so I can still get to my pics without a new gallery app.
I've tried reinstalling both apps, odexed and deodexed. I'm thinking there's a setting the flashlight app changed that is left over from when i uninstalled it.
Can you confirm if the button ever worked properly?
When you click on the gallery button in the camera app, you're telling the phone to open the gallery app and replace the current view of the camera app with the view of the gallery app. That the two programs work independently suggests that something is wrong with the link. Either the flashlight or other app is preventing the camera app from having its' view replaced or something happened with your gallery directory like it contains 2 folders or files of the same name. Since other shortcuts seem to work I'd go with my first guess. Can programs like smemo or Photoshop access the gallery ok?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yep, any other app that I've tried can access the gallery just fine.
It's definitely seems to be something with the way the camera is linking to the gallery.
Honestly, I can't remember if it ever worked properly. I haven't taken too many photos. In fact, this was the first time since the day I got the phone 2 weeks ago that I took a photo.
Sorry, I think we're now officially out of my depth so I may not be of much more use. If it were a program I was writing on my computer I'd go to a program that can successfully launch the gallery (SMemo, photo shop, the gallery program itself) and copy the code for launching the gallery and replace it in the camera app. I don't know how to do that in Android (yet) though. It might be worth reverting it, taking it back to AT&T and asking for a new one? If you use words like "upset" and "disappointed" you might be able to get a free goodie or two

I figured it out and it turns out I'm an idiot. I had frozen Quickview in Titanium Backup. Fixed. Thanks for your help.
