Built in screenshot - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I've experienced this 2 times, I searched everywhere in how to do it, but people keep saying they didn't on accident, we need a dev to answer this question

this happened to me a few days ago, as well. thought it was a hidden TW bionix-v function. I tried a number of different key presses to no avail. somebody has to know what the deal is, right?

Seen this alot here but no one can seem to remember what they did to make it happen...its weird..

Lmao happen 3 times to me to smh

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.

I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.

I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.

This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

If you have a vibrant running stock froyo.ka6 you can try this screen capture app from the market:

The only one that does NOT require rooting.

Hmmmm it seems like StevenJCarney might be correct. Like he said it seems like it happens when peoples phones lock up & it could be a bug.
Hope it isnt a bug & someone is able to figure it out.

Same exact thing here. It really sucks an app has to crash to use it.

If you have a rooted phone you can just use an app called screenshot which works perfectly. And it's free.

Need help using Screenshots...

I'm using Sombionix ROM Nero 4.1 TW. How do I take screenshots? I know they have apps in the market but I've never downloaded one before and somehow on accident I took a screenshot and I don't know how I did it. Can anyone help?
THANK U!!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't think that anyone has been able to work out the inbuilt screen shots. Most people use shootme. Go to market, search for shootme. Hit install. It ll take 10 seconds and its simple and easy to use.
a few days back there was a thread talking about this but no one knew the correct pattern to take a screen picture. Do you remember your combination?? I believe people said something like pressing home and back at the same time.
@Alex...thanks ill do that.
@Dmolition...I don't know what I did to take that screenshot. I did it on accident a few times and I never downloaded app from market. I'm going to keep trying and if I figure it out, ill post 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

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!

MX Video Player

Anyone here have this installed and now having issues since the last update to this app?
I ask because I don't want to give bad feedback to the developer of the app is it's just me and specially since it's free...
Thanks for reading and posting

Update to anyone that may care send email to developer hope for a reply or that more people have the same issue to get a fix.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Maybe if you gave us a little more information as to what "issues" your having, someone can try to replicate them.
The issue im having is the following ever since the last update came out for this app about 3 days ago.
If I click on the video I want to see and it will show for a second and then the screen goes black. As if the screen times out. So then I have to click the power button to turn the screen on and see that the video is still running yet I only see it for about a second again before I'm kicked out and again screen goes black and I press the power button and unlock the screen again and after that hope the video is almost over or have to turn off the phone because it wont let me do nothing unless the video is done. Not even the captive buttons respond once the video is running. It's almost as if it was a force close but the thing is still running. Also I have tried same videos on the stock player and double twist and they play just fine no issues.
I have since removed the app till I hear from developer or see that the app has been updated. It's also a shame because I had just come put with a Pro version and was willing to buy but wanted to see what the update did before purchasing it.

The issue is absent in my experience. It seems to work fine. My phone is rooted though, that might have something to do with the permissions needed to keep the screen active; but i doubt it.
I assume you have the correct codec installed.
Maybe there is a glitch only when updating... I installed mine after the update so it was a clean install.
Are you streaming or playing the videos locally?

I'm using the right codec and the video is local on the 2 SD card those same videos worked fine before the update. Also I did try removing both app and codec and then redownloading to same old story of it not working. I do want to point out I'm not rooted ... But don't see how that would have anything to do if it use to work right before the last update...

Update:
Just got email from dev and he said the following
" did you use a brightness control utility? similar problem has been reported when display brightness is forcibly lowered."
I replied to him telling yes that I downloaded a Brightness Toggle Widget and had it said to 0% and after I got his email re DL the app and codec and now it's back to normal
Anyways i want to thank the dev of the app and anyone that try to help out. Also hope this helped anyone and let's support great apps like this one and many more with great developers that reply back and don't just see you as a quick $.

[Q] Facebook App?

Alright...so I just downloaded the Facebook App for my phone, and when I attempt to upload a new status message, the app just force closes itself. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if there is a fix for this?
I am not sure if this makes a difference, but I am currently running on Slim ICS.
Facebook has been...and probably will be the single most hated app ever created that everyone has.
Every single version made never works right.
I've actually sat my phone on to of my router...with all other processes off......and still took 4min to even open the app

Friend of mine using samsung 7plus on stock rom also having the same problem..still cannot resolve...if u dont mind..u can use other facebook apps..such as friendcaster..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnkiXQ..
i strongly suggest this. its not perfect, but i would say its the best facebook app out there. def better than the default. one major feature that makes it stand out is PUSH notifications for EVERYTHING...not just messages, friend requests, etc.

Haha, but mines does not work at all ever since all the updates. Has been really annoying having to log on to FB using a web browser (I use Chrome Beta or Dolphin. Either works for me) and having to update my status like that. Mines does not FC, but only when trying to update my status. Otherwise, I can basically do everything else, just cannot write a new status update.
It seems to work perfect in diferent roms. I been using euphoria for a few days and it works like a charm

Yeah, I know what you mean about the battery thing. That's why I just stopped using it, and from one of the suggestions on top, used Friendcaster up until when I deactivated my account about 5 days ago. I agree with that person that it is not perfect, but at least it gets the job done.

S Voice not working, won't always speak ???

S voice doesn't always want to talk, and yes Voice Prompt is turned on.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Same with driving mode text to speech, wont always talk. I've installed the voice synthesis software, what is wrong?
Anyone else having this issue?

Same behavior here.
I call it the Vlingo Disaster. This S-Voice bs was just as buggy on Epic Touch (sgs2 for Sprint). It's just a buggy piece of crapware.

There was a fix for GB roms for Epic Touch - replace the vlingo.apk (or something like that, don't remember exact name) with a google voice dialer app (name the same as the one being replaced). I wonder if it still works...

@nabbed, how would changing the name of an app before install (which would fail on a lot of apps) help, when the app is installed, svoice will not use that just because it was named what the original app file was named, dosnt work that way.

Sorry, I forgot to add a link, please look again, and read that OP in that thread I linked to.... But like I said, just because you change the name of an app, dosnt mean its called upon by svoice. Now if you unistall vlingo it will use what ever you have installed, no matter what the name of the app is....... Now onto why other apps won't work when the name is changed, well the problem there would be the checks made by the installer to see if anything was messed with, verification checks. That's not true on most google apps, but paid apps, well you may have an issue if you change the name. Just giving some clarification is all.

I'm confused at both people above
Any other suggestions?....
Again, S Voice works, as in it listens to me and searches for what I ask, but about 90 percent of the time she fails to talk back to me.
For example I'll say set alarm, maybe one in 10 times she will respond spoken, the other 9 times she stays quiet. The phone is not on mute, voice prompt is turned on.
