Okay my issue is this. I have a Samsung Vibrant, The other day i broke my screen and i cant see anything. The phone still works fine (i can get all my calls and messages, i just cant see them). My phone is rooted and i was running triggers latest rom with clock work as my recovery. My problem is this I need to get my pictures and videos off this phone but i cant mount my usb because the touch screen isnt working. So i was wondering if i could do it through the recovery screen, problem is i cant see anything so i was hoping someone could walk me through the steps. I can only see one little corner of my screen so i know once im in recovery. I just need someone to tell me how many clicks to make with the volume buttons until i reach the usb mount feature. I tried looking for screen shots but none of them covered the usb mount feature. THANKS
6 clicks down on volume button>press power button> 2 Clicks up on volume button > press power button
THANK YOU!!!!!! i cant wait to get home and try this
if u have lookout free ur pictures will be backed up! so log into lookout from ur pc
You can also download droid explorer and do it that way. Usb does not have to be mounted

LOL, oh man I sure hope you get those clicks right! Hope you don't click it twice or not at all when you think you hit it once or sumthin. I'd find someone with a Vibrant root it and do the 2 phones side by side. Still kinda scary though. Better yet why not just replace the screen? Good luck man!

I've heard that froyo has it built in, they've been talking about it being buggy in the i9000 forums.
your supposed to hold the back button and tap the home button but I havent got it to work (might not be in my rom) some i9000 users say it gets stuck on, taking a ton of snapshots of the homescreen lol
guess it doesnt work on obsidian 4.2 rom then because i get nothing =/
I did something with the buttons and took one but havent been able to do it again

It happens when the phone lags like crazy and then you press those buttons. Don't ask me why, but this has happened twice with me.
Hey everybody
I just expose my problem
1-the Folio 100 i bought is a new brand (received yesterday)
2-I turn on my Folio 100, just in beginning they is no light on the 4 buttons,
i wait android to boot and in the homescreen i try to use the 4 buttons, nothing happens, no light
3- i decide to install the Foliomod without wipe (because the home button like the 3 another button don't have any light, i try to press the buttons many time, still nothing)
4- I install foliomod successfully without wipe everything work better but still the problem of the 4 buttons (no light and don't work)
5- I install different recovery.img but impossible to use it, it's simple, when i press the power button, don't have any light on the 4 buttons, look like the 4 buttons are desactivate on boot mode or anything else
I was wondering if anyone have the same problem ?...
I battle with that, i try to do a reset mode with the button near the battery, get off the battery (power button hold like do a clear CMOS) still nothing
I'm tired to send the Folio back
I really want to fix it, they is no way to fix this problem ?
Thanks !
one thing i find pretty annoying is the fact that to press the buttons you have to make contact with your whole finger.
I dont mean to make presure, I mean to make contact with a large portion of skin than just taping the button.
I got my folio one week ago and I am still getting used to it.
Maybe you already tried to tap the buttons in several ways but... this is the only thing I can think of right now.
By the way... the default behavior es to have the lights off and to turn them on for a second when you tap the buttons.
I hope this helps...
Thanks but if you check what i said, i can't use the buttons.
Usually the home button you can use it on recovery mode but i can't do anything, it's like the 4 buttons don't exist, like desactived.
try to install folio widget and change the button sensitivity

If the home button don't work on recovery mode, i don't think folio widget can help, foliomod 1.4/1.3 has already a folio widget and changing the value of the sensitivity didn't change anything
I think the problem is more on the boot of the folio, didn't activate the 4 buttons

When we press the power button have a small boot sequence, it's probably this boot sequence make many problem.
I try to erase the boot and change it on fastboot mode but it always fail.

bootloader is closed source.. probably needs re-designed, and we havent seen any updates of it, since their update.zip probably cannot write a new one..
i think they forgot to add support for updating it..
just like the full wipe with power button, probably also a mistake..
That what i was thinking
Mistake to Mistake
This reminds me the TG01 (phone by toshiba, really suck)
Hi, I bought a crashed folio just to see inside it's guts and found that those bastard buttons are a board on its own.
I'm going to reverse engineer those signal and replace them with push buttons.
All these OEMs should learn that touch technology is only for the screen and nothing else!

i think Google figured this out for us since they invented touch buttons somehow..
Unbelievable!
The chip on the capsense board is a PIC16F722 from MicroChip!!!
PIC16F722 <--- difficult to program and too much problem on it, they use this on clone phone in China.
I sent back my Folio, i don't know if i get a new one or wait for the XOOM or iPad 2 (but don't make any sens without USB/Thunderbolt, SD card etc)
Hi I noticed that some galaxy devices have the ability to screen capture just by pressing buttons. I was wondering if you could do this with the US 5.0 version? The stock rom comes with a screen capture program with it but I still find no way to do it. does anyone know how?
I know the US 5.0 version does not do it. "Screen Capture Shortcut" work fine.
That is what I use! ha but it's weird it has the system app. Why would they put it in if you cant lol? Oh well, thanks though
What system app? I don't see one on my 5.0.
I could be mistaking it or could be something else but it shows as com.sec. android.app.screencapture
On several occasions, I some how triggered the screenshot, but unfortunately I still cannot figure out what I did to take the screenshot. So the feature is probably functional.
For now, I use the screenshot app on the market.
See I knew there was a way of it was there hmm have to figure it. try all possible combinations!
I found this post in the captivate forum talking about it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475988
The information seems to be correct. I took a look at the code and might spend some time implementing an notification area button that does screen capture.
Try screenshot ux trial... It is really good! You can crop and edit.
Just figured it out how to do it on my way home. This is how I trigger the screen capture on YP-G70 (international)
1. Press and hold home button using your left thumb.
2. Then press and hold back button using your right thumb.
3. Release both thumbs.
4. This is the hard part. Do step 1 to 3 in less than half second. It doesn't work if you do it too fast or too slow.
If it works, it will save the screenshot under the folder "ScreenCapture" in your internal SD card.
I don't blame you if you cannot reproduce it. It requires a fast finger .
It works also on the Galaxy Player 4.0, but i don't know, where it saves the pics.
Edit: The location where it saves the pics is: /sdcard/ScreenCapture
I've tried this several times with several different timings on my ROM and it does not appear to work. This could be because of the ROM, it doesn't work on U.S., or it's another key combo. If anyone gets this to work on U.S. 5.0 please let us know...
I am agree with you. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 (spain), and with quick fingers using home button and back button, you get a screencapture

Means you are probably missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times already. Please search for this. FYI, you will need root to implement the fix.
thanks man....u mean to say that i should prefer rooting my galaxy s2 ics 4.0.3....ok then .... but the FYI code for fixing these didnt work without rooting....hope it works after rooting

You didn't search the right thing. I said your keystr file is missing. You didn't mention a keystr file anywhere there.
Google this: "site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 ics keystr"

I see you found the solution. Good job.
I've searched this and saw other phones ask and the answers for them not help me.
I get into recovery. The volume buttons work, but all the other buttons (power and digital) just take the screen to the wallpaper. Hitting one of the buttons again brings the text back. I have the revolutionary recovery in I see.
I haven't used this phone in like 2 years. But before I stopped I rooted and installed a good working ROM. Everything worked fine. Now I can't use it. I updated recovery with ROM manager. Then let ROM manager try and install a ROM for me, but it takes me to this same screen and does nothing.
I can't even turn the phone off when in recovery, I have to pull the Battery. This is a great little phone, I hope I didnt' screw something up.
Suggestions?
In the newer versions of CWM, you have to use the trackball at the bottom of the phone to move around and press it to select.
Wow I feel really stupid... that's he only thing I didn't push. Thank you.
