My 5-month old Streak makes an odd click/pop sound when I touch the menu button. This seems strange, as there are no moving parts that I'm aware of under there. I have the haptic feedback turned off (normal practice of mine for battery conservation)..... Everything else seems to be normal. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

I've noticed this with my back button. I get the feeling it has to do with build quality inconsistency, as my previous one didn't do it.

Anyone else having this issue: my home key needs to be pressed a number of times or firmly before it reacts. I'm affraid the button is starting to go.

Mine started doing it a while back and it turned out to be my screen protector. I was using Stealth Guard protectors at the time.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Hmm, Im not using a screen protector.
Are those buttons along the bottom actually buttons, or are they just touch sensititve?
See if it tends to work better if you press it as soon as the button back lights go off.... I had to return my first vibrant because of this hardware issue.

Yes, it works better when the backlight goes off! Damn it, I don't want to have to return this phone. Its easy to get into download mode...
Could it have anything to do with the rom I'm running? (Obsidian v4) its supposed to support a kernel with backlight notification...

I've recently been testing Screenshot it on the Streak for the dev, and can now confirm it takes screenshots in the correct orientation and without the red tint!
I guess this is the first fully working app, so anyone who wants a great screenshot app should find it in the market immediately!

Screenshot by gik soft has always worked fine on the streak.
but it's always nice having an alternative for whatever reason
No it doesn't, the image comes out upside down.
Screenshot it is the only one I've found that corrects the orientation.

dont think i would pay $4 just because the image is auto rotated in portrait when gallery has it itself.
I found that even after rotating in the gallery, when I upload to buzz/facebook etc, the image is still upside down.

Just updated to 1.991 and the orientation works but my screeshots have a bluish tint. When i select the option to invert the colors, the screenshots have the heavy red tint. I am on retail 351.

Same here on 318. It is sooooo hit and miss with the streak and screenshot apps.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I'm currently on 318 without any tint.
Would you be able to contact the dev via app market?
He's waiting on feedback.

I'm using 351 and it fails on both normal and inverted colours.

Awfully strange that it works for me but fails for others :-/
The dev is waiting on feedback though. Tap him up as he's wanting to get it working for us.

yeah screenshot it works...you just need to clarify to change orientation in the settings but id rather just edit them myself then pay 4 bucks for it...
Personal preference I guess. Even when I rotated the images, they would still show up upside down when I uploaded them. At least this works properly for me.

I've got version 2.0 & for the first time
taking a screenshot works to the full.
Of course, one still has to tick the box
"flip picture", not to get it upside down.
I tried every version of every screenshot
app so far, & this is the very first to work.
The app "screenshot" mentioned above, was
never able to present the picture other than
upside down, although the colors were correct.
Screenshot It, on the other hand, was able to
flip the picture, but never with correct colors.
I still used the "Screenshot" app until now, since
it was simple to get the picture flipped anyway.
You just took a shot, & then another shot of the
shot - voila! Picture not upside down anymore.
Now I don't need to perform those acrobatics anylonger...
Haha! I never thought about taking a shot of a screenshot...
Glad you have a better solution now

Try taking a screen shot of your pull down top bar and sending to an iphone.. LMAO
I have my regular text tone as normal but after the tone sounds a voice says message from the person that sent it. I don't know what happened, I've looked in the sound settings and I can't find a way to disable it. Any help here, it started doing it out of the blue and I hate it.

You most likely had your phone in driving mode and didn't realize it. If it happens again or you want to reproduce, Hit the home button twice to bring up voice controls, hit cancel, and then check to see if driving mode is on/off.

Check out this guide/list of mine... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381627
Go down to #15 "ShootMe". Your answer awaits. (However, you must be rooted to use it)
If you are not rooted, you're going to have to dip in some cash for this app... https://market.android.com/details?...S5hbmRyb2lkLnNjcmVlbnNob3RpdGZ1bGxub3Jvb3QiXQ..
Thanks ill check it out now

I've done it a few times on accident myself, unrooted with no screenshot app. Never could figure out how. Since then though, I just ended up buying ScreenshotIt. Works great for me.

Another thing, after a bit of research stock 2.2 supposedly has a built in screenshot taker. Try these instructions to see if this is what you accidentally did...
1. When you are in the specific screen which you desire to take Screenshot, Press the Back button in right bottom and hold it. While holding Back button now press Home button in the middle. You will hear a capture sound and in moment it will appear Screen captured. Save as image file
2. Go in the Gallery app there is a new folder called Screen Capture. Open it, you will see the captured image. Enjoy!
I tried that but it just goes to the home screen or back.. I have the image still on my phone and its saved as screenshot and I dont have any screenshot apps so idk how I did it

Oh. Sorry that didn't work. Those were some instructions some guy posted that were supposed to work...
Its ok I really done neeed it It would just be cool to know how to do it since its a feature on the phone

I would also know how exactly this works if anyone figured it out. I think I took about 5 screen shots on accident with some sort of combination of softkeys without knowing how :|
I ended up just getting an app called shoot me and getting honeycream jw1 with ice theme I got bored with froyo haha

Lately, several times, but not every time, when my phone rings the screen stays black while the bottom buttons light. I have to press the power button once to turn off the light completely and again where the screen lights normally and then I can answer the call. Any ideas of solutions to this weird problem?

Sorry, I have no solution nor have I heard of this. But guessing, did you install something like Google Voice, skype, or some other phone app?
Actually, no. It must be an app, tho
