This is really annoying when am in the middle of a movie and i pause and press the home screen or do some other stuf on the phone but when i go back to the album to continue I ll have to start al over again.
Isnt there something like a taskbar where programs not terminated are minimized until they are reopened or terminated.?
Please advise
Cheers
The only Taskmanager like app is press and hold the Home key, you will get up a list of the previous 6 running programs. Whether or not they will put you back in the same place as you were before is dependant on Android.
the only thing i know of, is to hold the home button, and the 6 most recent apps pop up, and you just click on the app you want and it goes right to how it was b4 you were interrupted.
use meridian evolve from the market, it automatically resumes video.
i know its not exactly what your asking for but it is a solution.
Meridian work great. There is also an app called motion launcher which allow you to quickly switch among previous running apps by shaking the phone twice. It's on the market as well
Every one I have tried so far takes screenshots that need to be rotated 90° clockwise.
Can this be fixed, or haven't I found the right app?
Just press the nook button and vol down button at the same time to take a screenshot.
I don't like the built-in method, I could never get it to take a screenshot without the notification volume displayed on the screen from pressing the vol - button. I use the ShootMe app for my screenshots.
As for the OP's question, I don't know if any app will take it in a vertical image, but you can easily rotate the screenshot on your phone with a number of apps. I use the free Adobe Photoshop mobile app.
How do I point Photoshop to my SD card?
When I use ShootMe, it saves the screenshot to the SD card in a folder called ShootMe, then when I open Photoshop, it just automatically shows up in the image gallery. They're easy to identify because they're sideways.
Yea, nothing shows up in Photoshop. And I can't tell bit where to look, even though the screen shots are on the root of the SD card
Is there any app that takes a properly oriented screen shot? I don't want to bother with rotating pics
Well, The app i use for screenshots is called "Screenshot" and i can say that personally
is the best screenshot app there is, and for rotating pics just use the app "QuickPic" which serves me as replacement for the stock Gallery app which sucks. QuickPic lets you rotate the pics, aswell with options to share with social apps. although you need to have Softkeys, or Button savior installed to access the menu button. Is not a hard process at all and the best of all is that both apps are free.
I don't have any problem using the built-in screenshot. To do it without getting the volume change on screen, hold down the N button and then press volume down. Works every time for me.

Thanks, where are images written to?
I'm pretty sure they go into a "screenshots" folder on the internal memory, not the SD card.
I used to be able to get screenshots using the stock method without the vol displayed, but I cannot anymore!
OK, just tried it with a very brief press of "n" & "vol-" & it worked fine.
I see /media/internal/ but no images show up.
I simply can't get the "easy way" to work! Maybe some sort of conflict with apps? I'm just using ADW and SoftKeys... this is driving me nuts
I just did the stock screenshot (N+VOL-) to verify, using root explorer, I am able to locate the screenshot in /media/Screenshots.
On a sidenote, I tried golfprorm's method of holding down the N button first and then clicking the VOL- button and I still got the "Notification Volume" image on the screenshot.
P.S. When you take a screenshot with the built-in feature, you should get a notification telling you "Screenshot captured" with a clickable link to the image.

I cannot get my Nook Color to take a screenshot using the stock method of hold the physical N-button + tap volume down. Could this have to do with the fact that I remapped my volume buttons to back and menu?
Yes, that would be the cause.
I also can't get the n+volume down method to work without showing the notification volume image on the screen shot. I also tried using the app called "screenshot" because I use this on my Incredible and it distorted the colors of the wallpaper to make it look all funky. Any ideas on why it would have done that? I'll try to post a pic here shortly to show you all what I mean...

Do you know of a work-around or should I just download a screenshot app?
I'm running CM7 and am trying to take a screenshot. The stock method does nothing, I'm assuming because of CM7.
I've tried both shootme and screenshot. For some reason, all the images from screenshot just show up as full black pictures with a VERY small ~2x6pixel white line along the left side and near the top. From shootme, they're just black. I've tried sending them to my DInc, but they look the same..
I've tried the following file types with corresponding file sizes on screenshot: .PNG 1.87k, .jpg 10.15k, and .bumper 2.34m.
Any thoughts?
hi, i accidentally use a build in screen capture in my vibrant with froyo.
i couldn't replicate it with any combination i tried.
i read about holding the back button and then pressing menu or home but that didn't do anything.
how do i use it?
(please dong offer third party applications as they all suck...)
I don't think anybody knows how to. It seems like everybody encounters it accidentally. Haven't seen anybody replicate that screen capture option either.

lol, this is just ridicules...
how can they put a feature that is so hidden that no one in this forum, knows how to activate it.
They put it in there for use, then removed it later because on a vibrant you annoy press both home and back buttons at the same time.
The way you did it is your system lagged then you pressed those 2 buttons and bam
is there a way to do it again then?
I have when I have the app tiny flashlight +led downloaded, and it's widget on the homescreen to the right of the main one that when I come from txt messenger..or hit home ( to see all the screens at once) then hit home again my screen will glitch.
Will someone please please try this to see if it is my phone, or the app. Please hit the home button a few times, and go from other apps back to main home screen and see if you get a glitch. Only seems to glitch whatever is on that main screen.. like in my case..beautiful widgets and smooth calendar widget. Also had a similar problem with visidon applock. On that one I would hit the home button and after a few times the screen previews would go all wonky.
I just need to know if my phone is messed up or if these 2 apps just cause problems with the RAZR. I just think its odd that I'm having problems with 2 different apps.
Thanks to any that help!!!
CORRECTION
both apps are now deleted and am still having the problem.
Can only describe as a screen glitch. widgets glitch out. I think you have to have some sort of widgets on the screen to see the issue. I took off all widgets other than the stock blur ones, and still have the issue.
Any help or ideas? Anyone having the same issue?
Yep I get this as well, especially on my power control plus widget.

Surely this isn't normal? When I had beautiful widgets on it was SO obvious and annoying. Wondering what to do now? Take it back?
Anyone have a working screenshot app for the Photon? In particular...I am running Cybik's CM7 ROM, so obviously I am rooted and unlocked...just can't seem to find one that works with this ROM.
TIA
Search your menu app, the app called Screen Grabber.
If you have it installed you can simply leave the search button pressed and take the catch ....
