Screenshots!!!
I'm super super super excited!!!
I have known for over a year that all Samsung Android phones (with touchwiz) have a built in screenshot engine. The problem is that nobody has been able to figure out how to use it. I've even triggered it accidentally a few times on my Vibrant. There is no documentation on this feature but I finally stumbled across the answer while playing with my new Galaxy S II.
HOME+POWER
Please try this on some other Sammy phones and report back. I would love to find out if it works on all of them.
ah yes, it's actually documented in the manual
but as usual no body reads it, not even me
LOL
but it was mentioned already on the release date of the phone, and demoed
there's also another way to capture screen, something about tilting the screen and pressing something, forgot that part
Thank you all for your help.
I found it burried in the app screens.

use adb
go to
the place where you have installed adb/sdk
then go to the folder tools
open ddms
and connect phone to pc
then in recovery mount usb
or unmount try both
then use the screenshot function of ddms and refresh the thing a lot times until you see recovery on pc
worked for me
What he said. But honestly, take a picture with a nice camera and crop it. Lol.

LOL. That's one way for sure! I use ddms. That will give you the best image. Again, it depends on how you want it. camera pic will be a pic but ddms will take a true screenshot.

[Q] I have a few questions about my new Optimus G Pro

I recently upgraded to the LG Optimus G Pro and I love it and all, but while I'm at work when I get messages, my phone does all sorts of crazy things in my pocket because the screen comes on. I was wondering if there was a setting that I was looking over that would stop it from doing that? I'm trying not to root it because I know the bare minimum about rooting phones, but I did root my Galaxy s2 Skyrocket with youtube tutorials.

What things is it doing? I have the flip case and that keeps it from coming on and such. I think there is a pocket mode in the setting(I could be wrong about this though) check in display section or even under notifications.

Or go into the offending app that's causing you trouble and turn notifications off.

I think there are a few others who have complained about this as well. I don't have a texting plan (I use Google Voice), so I haven't ever experienced this. However, if there aren't any options in the phone settings, there may be another way.
I seem to be on this Tasker kick lately, so when someone has a problem that is related to the phone sensors or events, I tend to think "how can I fix this with Tasker?!" . As a result, I have made an app really quick using Tasker and have even included the project XML if you want to fiddle with it on your own. It does NOT require root. However, it will need you to install another free app called "Secure Settings" and give it administrator rights in your phone settings. All that the app does is wait for an incoming message and checks to see if the proximity sensor detects something in front of it. If it does, it turns the screen off. However, like I said, I don't have a texting plan, so I haven't had a chance to really test it. The app interface is just an "ON/OFF" button and a "Close" button. If it doesn't work, just turn it off or uninstall it. It is set to "OFF" when it is first installed.
Alternatively, you can play around with it if you get Tasker. I think there is still a trial period you can get if you aren't sure if you want to buy it. Let me know if it works or if you have any other questions.
I named the xml file as a .zip just to upload to xda. Just rename the file without the ".zip" at the end and then you can edit and/or import to Tasker.

This is easily fixed, just change the lockscreen to anything other than swipe and the phone will no longer accidentally become unlocked in your pocket

Had the same issue. Do a search for it. Lots of threads. Maybe try Magiclocker or Widgetlocker instead of the LG home screen.

Use pin lock. Solved for me.

Okay I just realised that there is an emergency call button on the screen when you have either pin, password or pattern unlock set. If you just have swipe, there is no emergency call button. Maybe this will help?
