I personally use drocap2 but I have to rotate the shot.
ScreenshotIT has a rotate option in the menu but I haven't had good luck with it

The issue with the rotated screen shots is a Streak issue, all of the screen shot apps do it.
drocpa2 with the swap endian setting checked and screenshot by Kastersoft (formerly GikSoft) work for me.
I tried a paid app that had a setting for auto-rotating the images but they cam out pink. (don't remember which one)

Marvin, I think that was the ScreenshotIt app that I also tried, which has a menu setting that will rectify the "pink" issue, BUT only the pink issue, more times than not my screenshot looked like a negative, which there is also an option for, but it didn't always work, so I switched back to drocap2 and it never gives me any problems.
I don't understand why it defaults to display the image in portrait mode if the Streak, at least mine anyway, is default landscape. I wrote the devs back a while ago and they responded that they are working an a fix just for tablets that should take care of the Streak and anything else 5" and up, so I'm anxious to see that

For me the best way is using a desktop application called myphoneexplorer it is very useful and has an option to take shot.

Yeah I've got that but I'm not always connected to my computers when I need a screenshot so I stopped using it

Looks like you got your Streak fixed after Jtag...Is it so? Mine is still a wifi TAB.

Bcuz Dell installed the screens updside down *genius*

You might want to link to that. The Screenshot It I found is $3.99, there is a free trial that will take 5 screenshots. Sometimes the names are similar.

ok, will do.

The developer has finally fixed the "tint" issue with Screenshot It.
Now it works like it should, & it's a breeze taking screenshots.
You still have to tick the "flip picture" box, but that's all.
I believe it's the best screenshot app for the Streak.

If having to flip the screenshots manually after taking them really bugs you Screenhot It does have a setting for flipping them automatically. I found two apps with that name, so since none of the posters who recommended Screenshot It linked to it, I will.
Screenshot It trial
You can test with the trial version, the paid version is $4, which is a too much IMO.
The trail version says that you get 5 test shots, I only got three and when I took the third a dialog box popped up urging me to buy from the market that could not be dismissed (I didn't try killing the app) so you could not even finish processing the last screenshot (I wanted to see how the share options were handled) . When I ran Screenshot It to see if it had an exit option on the menu after taking the last screenshot the notice to buy also popped up and I could not even browse the settings.
For an app that costs $4 the trail is too short and too limited.
BTW - the attachment was taken with drocap2, which is still my favorite screenshot app.

No, I am also using it as a wifi Tab. I purchased a motherboard from used dell to replace mine. Hopefully, will be delivered after 10 days.

WOW!!!!!...How much did it cost and from where did you buy?

Here's the Market link to Kastor Soft Screenshot. I used this one, and other than the image being inverted (easily fixed on the PC), worked quite well.

What Dialer do you use?

I am currently using Dialerone.. I give it a 4 out of 5... The only issue I have with it is that the dialer buttons are so small. It is very hard to hit the buttons with one hand.
I contacted the developer and he would assist with making them bigger but he said he needed a streak designer.. Whatever that means.
The buttons look great on the droidx nice and big.. but small on the streak..
Does anyone know of a dialer that is comparable to the default dialer with large buttons, but also has t9 lookup built in?
thanks
.. edit.. second issue i have is the call button is so damn small, it is half the size of a number key.

You might take a look at aTakePhone. I think I read it has a T9 option. Not sure of the button size. I used it all the time on my Palm Treo. Developer is VERY responsive!
http://www.shsh.com/
Tried a few of them...
Dialerone seems to be the best..
only thing i miss in the default one was T9
You may have a look at thaidial
It does have the T9 too!
<but, eh, it retains the small buttons problem.. But, I think they are a bit bigger than the Dialerone>
Its free, give it a try too.
care,
Sony.

Installed Dialerone last night.It was ok. But when I wake up this morning, a lot of my apps was force closing, even mess with the frame res apk. I found out that it was the Dialerone was messing with it. When I uninstalled the app, the phone is back to normal.
ramtix,
What rom are you running? When you report stuff like that you need to provide more info.
Even though your problems started after you installed dialerone that does not mean that dialerone is the cause. It could be a combination of apps that is the problem, in other words when they are both on the phone you have issues and with only one no issues.
I use dialerone with no problems. I'm running 318, with the performance fix on an unlocked (direct from Dell) Streak.

Dolphin for Pad

MoboTap just released a honeycomb optimized browser. Get it from the market. Here
Given that it is a beta, some stuff remains needing to be ported over but for now you get:
Gestures
Add-ons
Multi-touch-zoom
Tabbed browsing
Side bars: Left side bar will change into windows list you opened

-There still is some lag when browsing sites like XDA, and Facebook, tough.
The tabs stay at the top when scrolling! Lets hope they fixed the bug where clicking open in new tab didn't always work
could someone post the Dolphin For Pad apk? i'm on a Toshiba Folio 100 with cyanogenmod custom rom and obviously do not let me download
I'm using the new Dolphin for pad and holy crap its fast. I was actually quite dissatisfied with browsing on my GT but now its sweet as. I surf alot sites in New Zealand because we are moving there soon. Before it would just lurch but now with new Dolphin trademe and realestate.co.nz and inz cone up as if I'm on my desktop.

Nope still happens. Earlier I tried opening a link in a new tab (background tab) three times in a row and nothing. It took a fourth time for the new tab to appear lmao.

Yeah I am seeing it too. At least now that the tabs stay at the top, you can see if it is working without having to scroll up every time.

Yep. I spoke too soon, saw it just after I posted.
A new trick I found in this pad version is that you can use just two fingers tap the side of the screen to switch tabs.

I've found that if you're doing the longpress/open in background, if you just hold your finger on the background option for 1-2 seconds, it seems to open pretty reliably. Still annoying, but at least it works.

Swipepad: how to make it work

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?
It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.
i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me
The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

Downloads pictures so small! Wtf

Everytime I download a picture from the web or from a picture message..the picture downloads super small... Any way to fix this? Thank you
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Because of the amount of pixels on this high rezolution screen, I don't believe there is a way to fix this.
I had the same problem with a TouchPro 2 WM phone I used to have but I forget what the fix was.
I will look in my notes when I get home from work tonight.

So I'm not the only one taking notes on this stuff.
Use quickpicfrom the market. It will show them full screen and it is free. I like it better than any gallery I have used.

Tip: your camera is upgradeable!

Hey folks... I wanted to toss this out there because I've had a number of friends who got S5's recently and after playing with it a bit didn't realize this... the stock camera app is in a sense upgradeable by downloading new filters and shooting modes. Simply open the app, bring up the list of filters or shooting modes and scroll to the end, where you'll find a Download button. It'll bring you to a list of add-ons in the Samsung app store where you can grab what you want (most free, some not).
I think Samsung largely just took out stuff that was in there on the S3/S4 and made them add-ons, but I'm totally cool with that, and there may be a few new and interesting things too.
Anyway, now you know... and knowing's half the battle
Yay more filters, thanks but I'll stick to Vsco Cam, filters are flexible and u can make your own and not lose resolution. ..
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Currently I'm awaiting a camera app duel article that then lists the best app depending on model of phone and other factors.
That said, I really like the Samsung camera application and find that the flexibility to add additional filters without going third-party is a nice feature.
Strange, for whatever reason, I only show 4 additional modes being available when I check for new modes (via the same Download link within the camera app). Any suggestions?

Because that's all there are. In another thread, someone asked about Macro. The auto mode seems to focus pretty darn close. I was maybe three inches away from or less and the focus was right on.

Thanks for confirming my original suspicions. When I had read the OP, it sounded as though additional filters/modes (beyond the current 4) were already available, but that I had somehow blocked them by disabling so many unneeded applications in an attempt to fight bloat.
Yeah, I did notice that the macro capabilities had improved a touch from the S4. This was a pleasant surprise, considering I like to play around with taking neat macro/detail shots of stuff. With the few extra megapixels and the selective focus, it's even better.
While using the camera If you click on settings and click effects, it gives you the option to download more effects as well. Scroll through the effects to the bottom and there will be a download icon. A few of them though cost $1
