Such a noob question, but how do I screen capture on the vibrant? :/

App called shoot me in the market
egc+voodoo jk6
Belongs in the Q&A section. Please try harder.
Search the Market for "screenshot"
You need root to use the apps in the market (or atleast you used to)
If you do not have root, you can use ADB if you use that or DroidExplorer also.
There is a built in screen capture on froyo builds, but nobody can figure out how to get it to consistantly work.
I've never had it happen but I've pushed every damn button combo I could and I'm a fighting game type person so I've got fast fingers and no luck
egc+voodoo jk6
I'm rooted (Bionix R1 stock) and use the market app called screenshot (yeah, it's a simple as possible name).
Works great. You launch the app, tell it how much of a delay you want (I usually go with 10 seconds) hit the button, go to the screen you want and wait. A few seconds later you get a little info pop up that says the screenshot was saved to sd.
^ or you can opt for the Shake feature which I use

From Chainfire:
In FROYO+ pressing either home+back or menu+back (I forget which) normally takes a screenshot.

He has the Intl so that's their method.... probably the same WHEN ITS WORKING PROPERLY (LEAKED ROMS).

I know there are threads on tasker, but i have to say, this is one sick app.
all you have to do is send sms with secret word from any phone and Tasker will enable wifi, gps, and send back a link to google maps with phone location.
That is amazing, but...
Pity the GPS, Compass and Google Maps implementation is completely ****ing broken!
I would definitely love to use this when (or if) the locational services ever do function. Thanks for the heads up -- I had no idea this existed.
There are multiple apps like "Where's my droid" that do this as well.

you can find it here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
the guy is using GPS only, but its pretty straight forward to include WIFI in this as well (WIFI is for better location without GPS). The time to wait for GPS to get a lock is up to you, I have 1 min.
and as you can see there is a profile there if you wish to lock you phone with SMS and/or play sound. (havent tried that)
For now I have these tasks: 1. If power ON, screen timeout is set to 45 sec (from 15), and lockguard is disabled 2. from 7:30pm to 8am screen brightness set to min and to AUTO other times. 3 Created a widget for "Vibrate" and "Bluetooth" since Vibrant is missing easy access to those functions (in a nice menu widget to save space). 4. I have several tasks killed at boot since they are useless anyway. (for this need to insert WAIT command with whatever time needed since some tasks start after the phone boots)
Thanks a lot for that link! Was able to create my own widget too now!

Run a logcat and get the url

PM the devs so they can help you run a logcat if you dont know how. Are you on Stock Vibrant or you running a custom rom? And did you already get the JI6 update?

I can run the logcat. I'm basically stock JI6, stock kernel, rooted, few misc mods. Do I need to go through with the update to get the info out of the logcat?
once the download starts run logcat and keep your eye open for the url address
Id suggest going with BigRick10's advice i really dont know nothing about logcatting.

Something is up with the DM server tonight. I am doing the trick with LauncherPro where you make the shortcut to the Device Management link to manually try to push OTAs, and the DM server tries to connect for about 5-10 minutes before it times out. Usually it just returns a result of no update for me immediately.
There might be something to this
Yeah I definitely went ahead and accepted the update, phone rebooted twice, and seems to be exactly the same as before. This may be nothing
Go into your settings into About Phone and tell us the firmware/baseband version

Maybe they were just testing their servers
What's this launcher pro trick you said
sent from my awesome phone that is the best that no one elses phone could ever live up to(vibrant) on ze app
I wish I could remember exactly what I did or where to find it. It's buried in one of the older JI6 OTA threads.
Basically you have LauncherPro selected, long tap on home screen, and select "Activities". It's one of the many things listed in there (can't remember which one), but it makes a link on your home screen that pulls you into the DM menu where you can manually try to connect to the server.
Ill look into it thanks

I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.

Just had a look through the developer options, can't see anything for generating a log. Would be useful if you could find out what it was called.
I was otherwise unable to reproduce (no log on my SD card either, in-case it's an "always on feature), however I did just install the updated drivers.

It won't be in dev options, the Nexus S has something similar to this, that pressing a key while booting will activate this logging thing and can't be turned off, that's what this sounds like to me
