Hi All,
Which apps do you guys use for screenshots on the Sensation? Are they PC based like all the ones I've found (that don't require rooting)?
Use the android SDK
I know in the sensation and pyramid leaks that we use if you press home and power at the same time it takes one...

Hello,
I'm using MyPhoneExplorer for taking screenshots (doesn't require rooting).
Link to app for PC (Windows):
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
Link to client (install on phone):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&feature=search_result
Works great via USB, didn't try over Bluetooth or WiFi (don't need right now).
To connect Android Phone, after install on Your PC, in Options, select "Device with Google Android OS" instead of "Sony Ericsson Phone with modem interface".
To take screenshot, go to "Additional" and select "Upload screenshot". Small window will appear, where You can see what Your phone actually displays, click on "Save as..." and You're done!
This app is powerfull to sync all data with Outlook, send SMS from Your PC, install *.apk applications from Your PC, make backups and stuff...
MPE works great over Wifi, though you can only take screenshots while over USB. Beats HTC Sync since that kept duplicating my contacts.

I'm guessing that'd be the "hold power & press home" screenshot feature? the HTC support page for the Sensation actually had an FAQ on how to do screenshots for a few days & then was taken down.

Ha look at that. I guess they forgot to not post that. They also left in the documentation about voice dial even tho tmobile took it out. It's a shame they disabled the screenshot ability. if you read above, someone found that htc commented out the function in some file.

Before I start another thread I'll ask here. I'm rooted using Sence & I've tried to take screenshots with shootme, drocap2, etc., but I always get fuzzy blurry images?? Any ideas?

Actually it does work.... U don't need an app. The sensation has the screenshot function built in the phone. Just hold down the power button THEN hit the home key. That should take your screenshot and saved in your camera shots folder. I just took a screenshot of my phone 10mins ago. Hope this helps.

I used that app before...but it took choppy screen shots with lines going across them...and whenever I restarted my phone it reverted all the settings..I had to reconnect to the comp and redo everything...although the built in screenshot on the sensation does not have the option as the apps do...but it'll do the trick and its free lol. Can't beat that.
It does leave lines on the home screen but everywhere else, texts, apps, etc it works fine for me. If you reboot you do have to use the pc to re-enable it.

I noticed the Gingerbread update for the HTC Evo did not include a way to access the power saver options. Unless I missed the shortcut somewhere. The power save mode is are turned on by default. This could cause some problems if you get below 30% battery and it cuts off everything running like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data, etc.. Anyways, I made a very small app that opens that menu. Devs, feel free to use in your Sense ROMs.
Hope all is well,
Ken
Well this is cool, but the menu can be accessed by going to settings, hit search button, type power.

I don't do screenshots that often, but the screenshot one does the trick. Push the button, gives you 5 seconds to get to the screen you want to cap... Done. There may be other options for doing an exact button combo, I haven't looked.
Like I said, I don't do them that often. Something tells me there's no shortage of apps that will fit the bill for ya, but if you do them a lot I guess I could see the appeal of the sense 3.0 deal you're talking about.

Screenshot has an option where if you keep the app running, you can shake your phone to take a screenshot... you don't even have to push buttons.
But be careful or you'll end up with a hundred screenshots.

What are those & are they needed for drocap2 to work?

drocap2 does that on the first screenshot each time you launch the program (every time it's granted su permissions). Second screenshot should be perfectly fine. Just long press the home button to access drocap2 easily.

Two threads or so above this one has the same issue. They seem to think it's a sense issue being the sense widgets being animated.
Can you take screenshots without the lines? After the first one as you mentioned.

Thanks for suggesting the "long press" solution.
The way I had done it was using drocap2 via notification trigger.
I did have to disable SU notification setting else the "toast" or "notification bar" gets into the screen shot.
I used shake trigger for the lock screen captures since notification bar trigger won't work for that screen.
Drocap2 is getting these images whenever I take screenshots after the second and third. No changes I am still getting the lines.
I currently have use the notification bar to "take" the pic in 5 seconds. Is there something I am missing??
Are those lines on your screen when you transition from 1 screen to another? Like, does it flicker?
I have the flicker issue sometimes and either a "Force Stop" HTC Sense or use Fast Reboot app to make Sense reload.
Try drocap2 on it after that.
No it doesn't flicker or anything. And no I am not transitioning from another screen. I just tried the fast boot app and it worked slightly on the first pic but then the lines come back in the second.
Maybe it's a lwp issue? I am going to try to get a static lwp to test.
Confirmed-LWP (for me) causes lines
LWP when doing a screenshot will cause lines. I tried a different lwp and a static one.
The htc sense lwp
Static wallpaper-No lines.
Yeah, I'm getting those lines using lwp too.
Galaxy LWP doesn't show lines.
Hi
To those of have already updated your sensations to 2.3.4 could you confirm this
Simply hold the Power button and tap the Home key.
Your screen should flash and a toaster notification will inform you that the image has been saved to your camera (DCIM) folder
The screenshot will appear in "Camera shots" in Gallery.
This is apparently the same as the SGS2

Honestly, it's a timing issue... I used to have a hard time getting shots by holding Back and then hitting Home, but I've gotten MUCH better at it. It's all in the timing of how you do it, the best way i can explain it is to press back and kind of say "one one-thousand" to yourself then tap Home without moving your finger off of Back. You'll here the camera shutter sound and it'll be saved to your SD card in a folder for screen shots.
This is the only way I take my shots and it works fine, provided you've got the timing down (also, I've only used Froyo ROMs).

There are still some things you'll never get a screenshot with. Why not just use one of the screen capture apps like DroCap or Shootme? There are likely hundreds more that do the same thing as well.
