Screen shots - Motorola Photon 4G

I've tried every screen shot app I can think of. They all seem to work but none will actually save pics. Anyone know whats going on?

Do you have root? Screenshot apps generally require root.
Screen Grabber works fine for me on my rooted Photon.

Screen Grabber, man! Works great, and saves to SD! Gimme a sec, and I'll shoot you a link...

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

Works Great for me! If you do not have root, you need to go into advance settings and uncheck the root box! Good Luck!

Lag?

My homescreen isn't as smooth as the video reviews ive seen and was just curious if its because I didn't do the ota update or if my unit is defective? Just getting some pointers. I tried deleting sine Widgets. Launcher pro is sluggish as well. I'm trying to see if maybe an app I installed could be the cause
I notice when I run a live wall paper its pretty bad as well. I used a program to backup my apps off my old EVO and restored just the apps on my 3d....I'm starting to wonder if that may be the cause??

Sinse I updated my E3D, the homescreen hasn't been smooth either. Maybe its a bug.
Haven't updated yet but it runs like a beauty right now. Can't complain!
No update so no lag... WINNING
E3D
No update and my **** is smoother than Billy D Williams.
No update, the Green Friggin Hornut can wait. Smooth as butter with live wallpaper and ADW Launcher EX and several widgets.
My OG EVO would stutter with the live wallpaper.
I did all the updates and mine runs GREAT!! NO lag whatsoever

I did the updates, and then hard reset.
Its not super laggy, but its not 100% smooth.
Hope they fix this in an update sometime soon
Well ima do a hard reset and not restore all my apps with that program. Then see I'd the lag goes away

What did you use to restore your apps? I would suggest trying a factory reset, then install your apps back one at a time. You can use an app called 'app list backup' to save just a list of the apps you use. Then when you restore, it takes you right to the market to download the apps you need, one at a time. If you still have lag after the factory reset, then I'd be a bit concerned (my phone has 0 lag at all). What type of lag are you talking about? Scrolling homescreens? Opening apps? Scrolling your contacts? All of the above?
I'm pretty smooth..and as the day goes by I am more satisfied with the phone..this may be s stupid question ..but what is a hard reset ? A battery pull

A hard reset basically brings the phone back to the state in which HTC sent the phone to sprint. Deletes everything accept for the operating system.

Ima try that and see if it works. Ima do a factory reset and restore my apps one by one. Because none of my apps show up in in the market when I go to "my apps" menu.....just shows my purchased apps so I can't update them at all.
The lag is mainly rough scrolling through home screens and small delay when opening messaging app like 2 seconds....
I think the phone was smooth when I got.it but I can't remember. If it still rough after this ima take it back tomorrow and exchange it

DroCap2...Free on market as long as you're rooted.
Sigh
I can't find drocap2 OR shoot me on the market now!
But yeah, I have an Evo 3d and rooted using nonsense rom, and I've found the shoot me apk through various mediafire and filestub links doing google searches,
but every shoot me I've downloaded and installed onto my phone the result ends up in a blurry pic I've tried about 2 other screen shot apps just now, one being "screenshot" from Kastor Soft, and another one I forgot the name of, but both ending with blurry pics also, any suggestions anyone?
Press power and home button. It shld capture your screen shots, I use this method all The time, hope this works
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Haha wow
You know what's funny... before I rooted I used to do that method all the time but I would press them both at the same time (or at least that was my intention to), and it would work but once I rooted I tried it a couple times with no success so I figured the feature was taken away with the current rom I was using, and just tried to hold the power button first, then hit home... works like a charm, and they aren't blurry! Haha, thanks a lot!

Some Apps not Full Screen

For some reason quite a few apps seem to be only taking up half the screen. Sprint Locator for example only on half top of screen. Antone else getting this problem?
Yep, I think the resolution isn't supported
Download spareparts from the market and open then uncheck compatibility mode and restart. Then try your apps again.

Its merely a resolution issue....no worries

I can name two more apps with this problem, ibird pro and newsroom. There are more and more phones with the higher resolution so I figure it will get fixed eventually.

What is wrong with this phone?

I opened the Google Music Application and it decided to form it in landscape instead of portrait, oh well. My real gripe here is how the phone seems to be able to handle more effects and images smoothly in landscape rather than in portrait. I scrolled through all my albums in landscape without a hiccup, no reloads of album art or skips while scrolling and it seems even smoother to scroll than in portrait. In fact, as soon as I switched to portrait it froze n force closed.
Is there a reason for all of this?

No, MB870 is the Droid X2. He's most likely rooted. Are you on stock? Cuz I had the same issues in the gallery on stock. Since I've rooted and ROM'd my device, everything is as smooth as butter.

Maybe... I got one fc. But regular usage should not see gallery fc. I was trying to crash it. And eventually succeeded but... I would vote for the clean Install.

For real. I've messed up one step here n there while flashing everything. It's really crucial to 1. Wipe data. 2. Clear cache. 3. Clear dalvik. Then flash everything in order, wether it be the ROM itself or the gapps. It's like number one to follow whatever order the Dev's instructions are. I cant tell you how many times I've had to SBF and redo everything in order for everything to run smooth and no lag. Barely any fc's as you stated. So yes, I think a fresh start and a clean install is exactly what you need.

Great app, glad to have it; however, it drains your battery during use like CRAZY. I used it for 10 minutes and noticed a 5-10% drop in battery. What?
Is anyone using it on the Leaked ICS rom for the AT&T Note? I can say that I can log in and see but everything goes to hell when I take a picture and try to change the filter, the phone goes install crazy, Starts to vibrates, and front buttons are non responsive. I have to do a hard reset. Anyone else experience this?

Yup, I can do everything on Instagram except upload a pic. On official ICS leak.
How can you expand the working space to fit our note? It always crop out a square and I can't expand it into a rectangle?
