Screen freezing app - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an app out there that freezes the screen temporarily? You know, like if you want to show someone a picture or something and you don't want to accidentally touch the screen and make it go away while passing it to your friend.

how about just use a screenshot app (like ShootMe) and then show your friend the picture from the gallery

I'd rather not have to start an app to take a picture, take the picture, quit it, open the gallery, show the picture, then exit the gallery.

Geo tag on the stock camera.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get geotags using the stock camera? or do I need a third party app?
Thanks as always.

If I'm not mistaken it's in the settings in one of the tabs on your camera. I think it says gps, I'm not certain though.
Nope. I don't have any setting like that. I was going nuts looking for it today.

its on my default as everytime i take a picture i see the gps in the top left corner and when i important to iphoto it shows it all on a map.
Every picture I have taken has been geo cached with the stock app.. It tells me all the locations in the gallery..

In the 2.2 roms geotagging is always on in the camera app. As long as your GPS is enabled on the phone itself it will tag them.
I flashed the 2.1 camera app back onto my phone so I could turn off geotagging in the camera but leave the GPS feature of the phone turned on.
I am on Mammon as well, and it shows the pics on a map under options, but there is no option I see to turn it off or on.

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.

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.

Pinch/zoom in MMS

Occasionally I will get a text that when I tap to open the image, it opens in Gallery, and allows me to do those exact same things as I could inside the Gallery app. Basically, when I get an MMS picture, I want to be able to tap the picture to preview it, and be able to pinch and zoom the picture. Like I said above, every once and a while I will get a picture that does not open as a video and I can tap, pinch, and zoom it. It looks as though it previewed in Gallery.
I'm stock ROM, and Messaging app, and really would like to stay that way. I am rooted though.
Anyone?

Anyone at all? This is a very annoying issue... Pictures show up as a video, which is why I can't pinch/zoom...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
This has happened to me before. I believe it depends how the sender sends the image. If it's a slide show you will see it as "video". If it's sent as an image attachment you'll see it as a picture.
You can still save the image if it's on a slide show. I believe you just press menu and select save. Then you select the items you want to save and see them in the gallery where you can zoom and all that.
Hope this helps

Thank you for a reply!
Anyway, it's actually happening when people that have dumb phones, and smart phones send pictures to me. They typically send just one at a time. I've noticed it came through a few times as it should, but I can't recall what the model is..
I am able to save them to gallery, but that is extremely inconvenient..

Camera settings

I'm posting this here because I don't think its a rom specific question. If I'm recording something and turn my phone sideways and then watch the recorded video, I notice the video its self turns sideways at the point I turned the phone sideways. It there anyway to change a setting or perhaps a app that will stop that from happening?

Weird I had to actually shoot some video to get what your saying. From what I gather that program locks keeps the angle of the video when you start it. Camera ICS+ does the same thing. I not sure if there is a fix. I will try a couple of others programs and reply back.

Where do pictures from video get saved?

So it seems pretty dumb to ask this, but I simply cannot find the files anywhere. When watching a video with the stock Samsung video app, theres a screen capture button up top that's supposed to take a still frame of the video, however I cannot find where it saves these pictures. A Google search did nothing for me :/. Thanks!

It saves in screenshots for me but it lags and takes a while to appear, a restart usually makes them pop up faster for me.
Yeah for some reason it wasn't popping up before. I see all 6 of them there noe, hah. Thanks!
