Maybe a bug
My only problem with 4.2.2 is when I do a screen capture from the small apps draw, i can't find screen captured picture any where?
You here the camera click sound while taking picture, you then press the save icon (floppy disk icon?) is vanishes?
Any one else with this?
Are u from india?..is it released?

I can pretty sure all mention issue never happen to me, Working perfectly fine here.
why did they remove the screencapture from the power-menu anyway?
But I also have this problem, i can share the image, but cannot save it
Photo Gallery is bugged.
Between photo slides it stutters or doesnt even slide at all for a second or two. I hope they fix it next time.

The LAST screenshot by the small app is stored at /sdcard/com.sonyericsson.notes/clip_small_app/. Inside it there is a Screenshots.png. However it will be overwritten if you take a new screenshot by the small app. (Screenshots.png? Maybe multiple pictures stored in it. But just we can't view it)
So the solution is - DO NOT use the small app to take a screenshot if you want the original file. Use POWER+VOL DOWN key combination instead. It works fine just like before.
clip manager
The pix taken with the clip manager is located inside notes app
There should be a folder with the same icon

Cheers for that kennethso168.
It looks like the new 4.2.2 ROM and the album app doesn't see .png files? At least i know where the screen capture is going now.
Will have to remember key combination until its fixed.

Yes you need to use a file manager (like ES file manager) to view that png.
And the key combinations are not really hard to remember, as there're only 3 two-key combinations:
Power+ vol up for a while: reset your device when it hangs
Power+ vol down: screenshot
Vol up+ vol down: that's not sensible

The album app does see .png files. Mine sees the screenshots I've taken with the Pwr&Vol- button combo. I think the small app just saves the screenshot in a folder that also contains a .nomedia file, so the album app doesn't find it.
Any one have issues with listening to music and using Walkman and in lock mode? When I press the unlock button, I can see the album and also slide up/down flickering like mad.
Using the Hong Kong version and can't seem to shake it.
Also on another note, anyone know how to add additional apps to the lock screen? Only can see basic apps to choose from.
I don't think the thread needed to be made seeming your "bugs" have not been identified others, not to mention the majority of bugs and improvements in their new ROM seem to be in peoples heads.

There should be a folder with the same icon call clip manager
And at there the pic is not overwritten
I think the place to find the png file is just a temp folder

Hi,
Ever since I got my Desire HD I've not been much of a fan of the camera (really bad quality when it's dark) and standard camera app. It's quite hard to press the button when taking photos and not looking directly on the screen. Do you know how o use one of the physical buttons like the volume ones to take a picture? Or do you have any other advice, e.g. a free phone app where you could at least press anywhere on the screen to focus and shoot?
Thanks a lot!

Hi there. When I take the photos to myself I mostly use the option of face recognition. It works pretty fine and takes foto just after catch your face in a frame and, by the way, you will hear it so that way to have a time to smile so you don't need to press anything! Cheers.
If you buy the pro version of Vignette, there's an option in its' settings to take a picture with the volume keys.
Cheers!
RE
In 2.3 version there is the same option... you can assign shooter to volume keys or to "find" button.

2.3 version of what? And where is the setting?
After reading this thread I downloaded the free vesion of Vignette.
That allows me to use either the volume button or touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo. I have a "flip" case on my DHD and that makes it a little awkward, but touching the screen is simples.
As the free version is classed as a demo I don't know if it will keep let me use these methods or not.

I'm using GB, but I havn't found that setting. Could you tell us where it is?
In the camera app press menu -> advanced options. Create shortcut there.
Create shortcut? After going to Camera -> menu-> Advanced just tick which buttons you want to use.

The signature doesn't lie
I've seen it, thats why i asked. I always forget to spdate mine (thats why i have no sign ATM). Anyway thanks for the reply, but i'm on RCMix, so there's no such setting on my DHD
I found a way to take sreenshots with the built in method.
You have to press home button and then quickly hit the back button.
And voila you have your Screenshot. They are stored in /sdcard/sreencapture.
Don't you mean hold the back key then quickly press the home button?
Been using that since last year on the leaked froyo roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Yea you are right its easier. I just didnt knew it before. Its easier than using shoot me.
This will only work if you have ScreenCaptureService.apk in system/app
A lot of custom roms do not have it.
/qsec
Hold Back key Then Press Home key
Isn't it the opposite?
Holding the Back Button, then pressing the Home button?
At least that's how it works on my SGS...
Edit: I was replying to OP
I have also been using this feature since JPY (or maybe earlier) but has anyone noticed some applications action the "back" while holding the back button, so you get a screenshot of the wrong screen! Pretty irritating.... for an example, try to take a screenshot while viewing an image in gallery application - you'll get a capture of the folder you came from and not the image you're looking at. Anyone know how to get around this? *shrugs*
Im using jvk and.. hold back button plus hit home button works great.. makes a cool camera noise and everything... thanks guys...

i also got same problem with some apps when i press and hold back button they go on back screen
i am using screen shot it it works well and i can take sceenshot of almost any page
Holding back button and pressing home works like a charm thnx!
edit: exept when i try to take screenshot of a screen other then my homescreen. (it jumps back to home screen when i push the button)
How do i prevent going back to the homescreen?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! No, seriously, WOW! Best built-in feature. Babai Shootme. You were great! :$
It is old thing...Was somebody put thread in our forum about it, some months ago...
Regards
^^Yep. Quite old.
For the people facing problems with the screens changing, try opening a menu in the screen you want a screenshot of. The menu will go back to the original screen and a screen shot will be taken.

hey, another bruneian on xda!
flash news: It's something known since froyo appeared
Sadly still doesn't work for me... when I'm in the app list an try to take scrrenshot it goes back to homescreen and takes screenshot of that. When I open a menu in the app list it stays there when I take screenshot... think I'll have to go and get an app for this..
mine now doesn't have a bar going across or something to drag down like iphone/htc sense - the whole image moves instead? seems very weird and would like to change it if i can?
i can't see an option to though. would prefer an pure android type of unlock method (with a custom wallpaper though). can i do this without rooting? want to leave that for a week or 2 to get used to the phone 1st
ta all
Look on the market .

And look for what? I cant find anything useful, like stock lockscreen.
Anyway, i think you need an update.zip for things like that.

lock screen
just use google there are endless possibilities

i do have 'goto my lockscreen' or whatever it's called but a lot of these alternate apps have a major problem (or 2) in that they interfere with bluetooth and wake up on any button press.
that's not really useful
1. Get widgetlocker
2. Win!
3. ???

try widget locker
I use 'ripple lock' which is a honeycomb'esqe unlock screen.
It is good but relatively new so there is room for improvement. however, the developer updates it regularly!

Widgetlocker is very configureable and you can tell it to stop waking on certain button presses. I am currently using it here and it is pretty awesome.

Edite widget locker settings, if i'm not mistaking you can disable hardware buttons unlock
ta, but i already unticked everything i could under buttons and inputs but vol down e.g brings the unlock screen up when it should do nothing
think it's a limitation of android and can't really 'replace' the real lockscreen as such. maybe a version that requires root will do it, who knows.
at the very least this will cause battery rundown.
You are right. I missed your point. I was talking about unlocking. Device wakes up when you press the hardware buttons, but will not unlock with the settings i was talking about.
i missed that part of yours too.
ta for the help mate
I can take a snapshot, I hear the camera shutter sound, but then what? When I try to paste it tells me there's nothing to paste. How do I use this screen shot?
The shots are in your "Gallery" app. when you go to a pic, there's a menu on the upper right with a weird symbol where you can select what to do with it: social hub, picassa, gmail, etc.
Go into your gallery and you'll see the screenshots that you have taken in the album ScreenCapture

i haven't updated so i cannot test, but you might try seeing if you can turn off the sound in the camera app, and then see if that works.
Its nice to see that Samsung included "Screen Capture" option in TouchWiz but where they put it, is really annoying sometimes.
I accidentally hit this button (instead of the multitask) many times already.
I looked for a way to turn this off but it looks like there is no option to do so.

I agree. It can be hit by mistake if you're not careful. Wish they had a way to disable it, or set it so that we have to press and hold it for a second or two to activte it.

So you can share your screen when trying to help others get apps or widgets like they have, helps with instructions.
why it can't be turned off I do not know. It's hardly a feature worthy of putting right next to the most frequently used buttons.

Can we even turn the camera shutter sound off? I did on my epic and on my wife smaller tab but I can't seem to see a option on the 10.1.
As for the screen snap shot it has its moment's, my brother and I play games on our android devices and when I beat his score I take a snapshot and sent it to him via text to rub it in.

There is a SIGNATURE feature, but it's not really like taking notes on the image. It's kind of cumbersome.

Screen Write takes a screen shot, so you can't zoom in and write. And it's not the original resolution of the image.

Ive added some pictures, dont know if its what you mean. I have the language set on Dutch so...
But the icons and locations should be the same.
For the lower buttons you might need to scroll some, i had to.

That's very interesting! My Gallery app looks slightly different than yours. However, I did find the EDIT button! On my version (US Tmobile Note 3), I have to touch MENU and then the EDIT button is there.
I didn't know that we could scroll the bottom row of buttons, but now I do!

not what she was looking for.
i want to write and draw with the s pen directly on the front of pictures too. would be very usefull when i´m at work
you can write on the backside of pictures(photo notice). that attaches a note to the picture but thats not what i want to do.
would be perfect if you could do it from the camera application or gallery right after you shot the pic.
i find it annoying to load it in another app first, then edit and save it again
isnt there a (camera)app or any simple way to do it ?
i saw you were right !
taking a screenshot of an image currently displayed on the screen and then writing to it works.
the downside is that the resolution gets changed but i can live with that atm.
thank you :good:

Actually, it's not too bad. I've been looking for the same thing.
I just take a picture, then open it and then go into the edit mode.
It's not too bad, I just wish the gallery app had good palm rejection like the Sketchbook Pro app which I use for drawing a lot.

insert typed text
any way we can insert "typed" text, not handwritten?
have a look at PicsArt.
might be a bit overkill.
you can really do a lot right after shooting.
typed text of any kind too.
