this is just silly

[mcaples]

This is just a bit of a rant...its really silly that you have to be rooted for something as simple as an app for screen shots...at least a free one...I don't have a computer and not that sad my Incredible 2 is NOT rooted...I've read good AND bad...I'm NOT convinced...I got GO...launcher, locker and keyboard...ICS THEMED...I just don't get it...I MISS MY CAPTURE IT!!!!!...but I do NOT miss my battery...ain't seen it since I got my Droid (going on 2 week)

stock ICS will have screenshot built in i think. But you do need root most other times. I think a few phones were able to do this without root

[rmjones101]

Yeah, that's something Android users have been clamoring for for quite some time. Thankfully many recent handset manufacturers have recently been adding that feature, and Google finally got around to incorporating it into Android with ICS.

CIQ + screenshots, oh boy!

[mcaples]

An OS with built in screen shots is COOL!!! And it just makes sense

i have free screenshots app on my bionic...(not rooted)

u should head over to androidcentral to get better informed.

Look for an app called 'no root screenshot it'. Works on my Atrix and Pro+, both of which are not rooted.

No Root Version: https://market.android.com/details?i...Wxsbm9yb290Il0.

Trial Version (Requires Root on some phones, but not Atrix): https://market.android.com/details?i...G90aXRmcmVlIl0.

Paid Version (Requires root on some phones, but not Atrix): https://market.android.com/details?i...b3RpdGZ1bGwiXQ..

My #1 problem with Android is that there are to many devices and all their forums are either confusing...or dead

[howarmat]

dead? have you been to xda, android central or androidforums? they arent as active as CB but there arent many places like CB. It is one of the most active forums there is IMO

The ones I visit aren't dead. Head over to Android Central and look in the Verizon Galaxy Nexus forum. It's getting activity like crazy. Someone posted a thread a few days ago, and it has over 45,000 views.

I'm standing by my original statement...its kinda silly...all the other things this Incredible phone can do and it can't take screen shots (for FREE)...I mean REALLY???!!!???...20 home screens and can't show 'em off unless you hack your phone...silly...that's all

[chrisy520]

There are apps for screen shots for non rooted devices. Yeah would be nice if all had that native but they don't.

Same with BlackBerry and thew camera mute. Why isn't that native on any device?

Who knows?
