How can I take ScreenShots on my MT3G?

How can I take ScreenShots on my MT3G?
Now, before it's said: I have been unable to get the SDK to work, so that's out. Also, I am NOT rooted, as I have the Perfect SPL, and a Gold Card did not work.
I am running Home++, which gives the option to use the camera button to take one, but the MT3G doesn't have a camera button. Would the trackball work for this, as you use it to trigger the camera? Is there another way to do this? Is there maybe a widget or app that would allow screen shots?
Thanks for any help...
A thought for the Dev's; How about an app the when you hit either it, or an option with in it, it will give you 15-20 seconds to get to the screen you want to capture, then does so? Seems like it wouldn't be too hard, but I'm not a Dev, so what do I know... lol

Yay, I figured out a work around. The Home++ will let you override the camera button and use the back button. Awesome.

Sorry, but how could you not get the sdk to work?
I downloaded it and java on. 2000 pc via pdanet free.
Lol

I did it on two XP workstations, one a Lenovo laptop, and the other a Dell Desktop (both work PC's). I would not recognize the phone. I could use it as mass storage fine, as usual, but the drivers would not install (and yes, I DL'ed that driver app, still nogo). Also, I kept getting error that some file was missing and would need to be downloaded for the SDK, and excell file if I remember correctly. I DL'ed it, put it in multiple directories, still nogo.

For future reference, you needed to turn on USB debugging to take screen shots with the SDK. It's under Settings-Applications-Development

EASIEST way to tether the Vibrant

go to http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as to download Samsung Kies....it's a Desktop Manager for your phone(like BB Desktop Manager). It has an option right in the software to tether. Will even auto set up your connection for you.
In addition it will even allow you to sync contacts with outlook, save them to your PC, transfer media, sync music/pics/videos, convert video, etc

Not There
Not available in USA

Download the UK version. Select Galaxy S. Set location as UK and choose English as the language, that is unless you speak/write a different language . Change USB to connect via Kies.
This is better than the free PdaNet and such as you can get to secure sites.
http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/support/samsung-mobile-manuals.do

The link I poseted takes you straight to the download page. all you have to do is hit "Download Kies" and you're good to go.

Too bad I have a Mac, I'll just run parallels though

Rashad, for Macs..

how do you change the USB connection? so that Kies reads the device I keep getting a connection notification saying that my connection type is not supported. Thanks. Love the program so far, should have been included with the device IMO.

From the home screen, tap the menu button, open settings. Applications > USB settings > select 'Samsung Kies'

Thanks appreciate it. Love this phone more and more everyday!

Nice. This is much better than the free ones on the market since they block https.

I wouldn't call that "the EASIEST way," since it requires a rooted phone.

Didn't work for me and I'm rooted

It's not by Google, since when did they care about root users anyways.

Good point.
However, it takes a couple of minutes to root the phone and you only have to do that once (as opposed to installing drivers on every computer you wish to tether). Not to mention the fact that you can't tether an iPad or other device that isn't running Windows if you are using one of the non-root methods.

Well... It's on code.google.com so it's easy to make that logical leap and say it's "from" Google (they provide the group space to develop and distribute it). I don't know who created it but it works. There is at least one bug (issues when closing it down) but that will be fixed soon I am sure.

The easiest way is just to use Ubuntu lol. It works out of the box without changing any settings. Just put your phone in debugging mode.

Just wanted to add this as some one who keeps their phone constantly plugged in. In the Applications>USB section of the settings menu you can have it ask you how your prefer to connect ect time you plug in.

Fantastic! Didn't even bother to download Kies before, didn't think i needed it. Was debating if it was worth spending money to buy a stupid app just to get tethering. Now i don't need to.

[WP7]Can't Re-Unlock?!

WP7 Is acting all crazy on me, I Used Chevron many times to unlock the device (since it re-locks all the time) but now I came back home, wanted to load some apps and when I Press the Unlock button stright away a message pops that it can't communicate with the device.
W-T-F,
I Mean, why the hell is this happening out of the blue like that?
What can I try to solve this?
I Re-installed the drivers, re-synced the phone, what more can I do?
Please help me

The mind boggles in these forums sometimes. Everyone is expected to be an expert in TLA's (Three Letter Abbreviations), with some kind of class war going on between some of those who know, and those who dont.
Wind your necks in and help out people who are in exactly the same place you once were, idiots.
Try shutting down SKYPE. I put numerous messages out earlier which were ignored, and when I posted the solution I was told that it was common knowledge.
Use "common sense" with less of the attitude and assist others who are asking for your help.

Nope - it seems everyone is having this issue now.

just a gentle chuckle @ AV and AM being three letters...Surely it should be TLA Two Letter Acronym.. hehe
(anti virus / anti malware, btw)

Having the problem unlocking too ...
- Flash to stock WM6.5, latest radio, RAM576MB.
- Re Install WP7.
- Same problem.
Now uninstalling Zune, Developing tool .... will report back.

it seems MS have blocked this somehow.

I had the same problem. i have deleted the the entries (developement.microsft..) in the host file. after reboot it works fine.

just tried that, didn't work

u tried puttin the phone in airplane mode before syncing??

I have the same problem. I got it unlocked, locked it again and now i can't unlock it anymore

UPDATE:
After re-formatting the phone via hard reset, I found out Skype was on... so i'm stupid.
Just re-check the usual suspects.

Ok to Re-Unlock wich means microsoft has relock it, go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
you will find hosts, right click open it with note pad, and delete any references to windowsphone developer services.
have fun

Thank you mate, this trick also resolved Zune software as i was unable to log-in but now i can!! i will try the market to see if i could install anything.

Read here what the developers of Chevron Unlock say:
"Contrary to circulating reports, Windows Phone 7 devices unlocked via ChevronWP7 are not being targeted by Microsoft. Instead, the phone is reverting back as a result of a periodic check. Simply put, the phone rings Microsoft and asks “Hey, am I supposed to be unlocked?”. If Microsoft responds with a “No, what are you thinking?”, the phone apologizes and initiates a lock down."
and now the phone tell zune to add this entry in hosts, that this phone will not be unlocked as developer

whatsapp popup notification

I have a question, and i wonder if its only me or everyone
With notifications settings set at NO popup in whatsapp, i still get my whatsapp msgs poping up while screen on.
The only feature i see is silencing them via Android notifications controler "by long pressing the notification from the notification slider"
But this will completely mute the notification, only icon showing on top bar with no sound or vibration.
I just want to stop the popup, and i think this is a problem in whatsapp handling the notifications with Android N
I didn't have any of these problems in my previous s7edge or note7 or opo3, hence the assumption..
Did anyone face this? If yes, any solution?
Note: i emailed whatsapp, but useless, no helpful answer, only the common reply email.
I would really appreciate the experts help here..

I have the exact opposite problem. I go into notifications and choose pop ups to show and they don't. I have chosen pop up to be shown when screen is on/off....or all the time, none of the choices work.

Same problem found a solution yet?

Just preform this command using adb
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
This will stop all peek (headsup) at a global level, all apps.. That was the only way for me (when i used LG and Huawei) since they have limited settings options on that aspect.
Assuming that you know how to preform this command, if not, just search in the forum and you will find out how to do so. This doesn't affect ur phone by any mean, no need for it to be unlocked or rooted or anything, it's just a shell command.. To reverse it, just change the 0 to 1 and done with the same command line..

Suprise! No root/no pc, ADB on fire stick itself to enable IceBox/Shizuku/.........

HI! Have a big suprise for you! Maybe you knew that, but it's useful for new users like me!
For the fire stick 4k hasn't been rooted, there is not xposed or magisk, and the only way to make fun of it is adb. For example, the Icebox app, the shizuku app, app ops, my android tools.........those apps could be activated by the shizuku app. But first of all, you need a PC to adb the fire stick and activate shizuku everytime you reboot fire stick. It is inconvenient.
So how to adb without PC? Ennnn.....with termux app you can adb the devices itself!!!!!!! And you can activate some apps, those apps could only be activated by adb link.
How to do:
1. install termux
2. install adb tools on termux:
it's on this website:https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB thanks for MasterDevX!!!!
you can use this code to install:
apt update > /dev/null 2>&1 && apt --assume-yes install wget > /dev/null 2>&1 && wget https://github.com/MasterDevX/Termux-ADB/raw/master/InstallTools.sh -q && bash InstallTools.sh
3. in the termux, input:
adb devices
then the adb authorize window would pop up, select yes.(in fact, the device want to adb you device is the device itself :laugh::laugh
you could see :"emulator-5554 device"
then, in the termux, input:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/files/start.sh
this could enable shizuku app. Once the shizuku is activated, it could activate the IceBox/app ops /myandroidtools.......
open the shizuku app, it would say:"running".
All done!
4. if you reboot or plug the charger out, you need do this again.
5. when you leave the termux, input "exit" with the return be pressed 2 times. So the code you input would be remembered by termux. Next time you just need the Arrow keys(upside or downside) to repeat the codes.
Notice:
I think the adb authorization of the fire stick is not very good. For many times(on wifi adb), there is no window pop up. So I could only adb with usb line. Maybe for the first time adb with termux, there is no authorize window pop up on fire TV, and the termux would say "emulator-5554 unauthorized". This is how I solve the problem:
open and close and open the adb debugging in settings.
if it didn't work:
Use otg to connect the fire stick to another android phone.
Repeat the termux steps above on both side. Then the authorize window would pop up when you input "adb devices" in termux on both side.
Disconnect. Normally boot up the fire stick, adb itself.

No one is rambling.
For the fans of android, we know that the Icebox is an app to freeze the apps you don't like, even the system apps.
No root, so you need use adb or the shizuku app to enable Icebox.And there is no "****" in the "shizuku".
Sharing experiences with other is a happy thing. And that is why we come to the XDA.If you dont like it, no one can force you to. But please respect the work of others.

hahahahahaha:laugh:first time to hear that. All the apps above you can find in the google store. The point is how to use termux adb the device itself. Hardly I can find any useful things about this on the internet.But for a unroot device adb is important to do something root-like.

Thanks for pointer to Shizuku Manager, It's exactly what I was looking for to enable IceBox.
Now I can disable all those amazon processes on my (new) Firestick 4K without the need to root...
I had actually asked how to do this on another thread!

@tinybilbo
So glad you like it!
Adb the device itself is such a simple but useful thing, but hardly I can find any useful informations on the internet. That is strange ....

Can we use the Shizuku (with Icebox) to 'freeze' OTA updates? I'd like to stay on the current version if I wanted to actually root later.

Well... every app I froze has definitely stopped and persists across reboots (even the main launcher "FTVLauncher"), So from my experience I would say "yes"

I didn't use any adb commands to freeze the launcher...
I used the Shizuku manager (read the OP on how to do this) to enable Icebox - which is an Appfreezer ( I also need the mousetoggle.apk since icebox works best with a mouse).
Once Icebox was working I froze the FTVlauncher.apk, just be aware when you freeze the main launcher you lose access to the FTV settings.
Just re-enable FTVlauncher to get it back.

What's wrong with you? How can you make such irresponsible remarks? You are the one who repeatedly humiliate others just for your own mistake and bad attitude. Say it again, it's you are the one who treat others un-friendly, bitterly and sarcasticly at first, and untill now. Yes, I did replied you straightforwardly at first, not for my self-esteem, but for your groundless accusations.
Xda is a friendly forum for all the fans of android. Are you a developer or a programmer? Do you know geek's life is simple and beautiful but the life of intrigue against each other is very tired? I replied you carefully like to anyone else in XDA, untill now.Because I just found what you do is to ruin my thread, mislead other readers, and just for take your own personal revenge.
The only reason I come here is to learn, and share all I know to help other people. But you never rest.
So please stop that.
I think we should be careful of what we do, for God is above and won't be so easy-fooled just like me, or some other people.
