Looking for print screen program - Epic 4G General

Are there any programs out there that will copy the screen on an unrooted phone?

not sure but i don't think so last time i checked all the screen capture apps required root.

There's an app called screen capture shortcut on the market that doesn't require root

not sure, but I don't think 'shootme' requires root, does it ?

Shootme used to work, but ever since they updated it a while back, it doesn't work anymore unless you have root. I can look for an old version, but I am not sure.

Step 1. Install the Android SDK
Step 2. Plug your phone into your computer and start up the ddms tool. (SDK/tools)
Step 3. Select your device from the list in the right pane of the ddms application, then select device -> screen capture from the menu bar.
Step 4. Whenever your phone is ready for the screenshot click save, and choose a place for ddms to save it on your pc..

I've heard dropcap says that it requires root but can really be used without it.

Oh thanks, you did. I appreciate the instructions, but I'm looking for something that doesn't not involve the use of computers, plug up phone and all that.

More than likely not going to happen, epic screen buffer requires root access

Screenshot

How come all of apps to take a screenshot of your phone are for rooted phones only? Are there any that you don't have to be rooted?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
There is a tool in the android sdk called ddms you can use which does not require root.
I was able to use a app simply called screenshots by geeksoft it's pretty good in it was able to be used without rooting the phone
^does the "shake" option work for you?

[Q] File Editor

I hope this is in the right section. This seems like such a stupid issue, but I can't figure it out.
I need to clear the defaults on the program 'File Editor'. I assume it's a stock program. It's not in the list of apps, and the program 'ClearDefault' won't clear it either. Please help?
Thanks!

If your looking to open a file. Jusy install another app that does the same thing and you'll get the dialog again. think free light is the first one I can think of that would do it.

Ok I love my epic but ever since I updated to 2.2 the orientation had been extremely slow my phone is stock and I've tried a factory and reformatting my sd. I took it to sprint and they told me it was the software, but when I looked at the demos in the store there was no orientation delay. Any suggestions?

I would say try to Odin the stock tar file and see if it helps

look thru the forums for the 'lagfix', its the adb command yamahasensorcalibutil or something like that.. its just calibrating your sensors... works great on a good install of most eb13 or ec05 install...
Use terminal emulator, if you don't have it yet get it from the market. Open it and type /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha place the phone on a flat surface, and hit Enter. Reboot the phone and sensors will function at normal speed.
You ca use adb also. Good luck

I believe you need to be rooted.

Doh! +1 on rooting assumption...
For the short periods of time I have been on total stock builds, when I first loaded EC05, it had the least lag out of any.... try to reflash? Consider taking the plunge to root? We have the neglected bastard child of sprintsung... what they dont do or dont do right we have to do ourselves...
Callibrate it using the option in display settings while putting it flat on the underside of a table.
Trust me, it works.

So it sounds like the only way to do this is to root my phone

Well it seems laying the phone face down on the horizontal calibration helped

You can either root it and fix it, or take it to Sprint, have them ODIN it which won't fix it and have them order a replacement which takes 3 days.

Or you can calibrate it using the technique I posted a link to.

That doesn't fix the sensor lag, in fact for many people that has made it worse.
Feel free to read the original sensor lag fix thread if you don't believe me.

I installed the older version that requires Busybox, and obviously installed Busybox as well to do so. But I don't really understand what it is/what it does. What's the advantage of not having it / what is bootlooping?
Thanks.
When I look for information about it, I see a list of apps from the pen window, I don't know how but now whatsapp is there too..

YES! Head to the play store and download Pen Window Manager. You will need root.

what windows program can i use to browse phone files?

I need to extract some files from the phone itself (data for certain apps) but my screen is completely busted and I can only turn the phone on and connect via USB. Any windows program I can use to extract information ? My phone was/is rooted
You must always next time post on question section.
Ok back to topic.Do you mean sd memory files. ?
Then better to connect with pc to take all backuo of phone. This is the better way if your screen is blushed.
If you still have problem then better to contact service guys. Then can help you.

Try to use hdmi on big TV with mouse. And install root explorer.
Then you will be able to see all things which you can't see in your broken screen.
Try.
