Hi all, I'm wondering if it's possible to take a screenshot of a specific area on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Like say I open a Kindle book and want to capture a specific image or diagram and paste that quickly into OneNote. What I usually do is take screenshots of the entire screen and crop those images in the photo editor, but it's a little tedious if I have lots of screen captures... I played around with the Microsoft Surface tablet in a store today and got a little spoiled with the stylus and ability to import screen captures of specific areas so effortlessly into OneNote lol.
I don't believe there's an app that will do that, yet anyway. Would be a nice feature though.
But keep looking and post back, as I'm sure there's many that would like to use such an app.
We are just stuck with cropping for the moment

Thanks for the reply. ^^ There is a similar app called "Dolphin Screen Cut," but that's limited to the web browser... If I find anything else, I'll post here (and hope that others will do the same!).
Sounds good

Is there any rhyme or reason to how the folders in the Gallery app are ordered in ICS? I swear, they just appear to be in a COMPLETELY RANDOM order, and it is maddening. It's not alphabetical, it's not by date - what is going on? Has anyone figured out a way to bring some order to this mess? It's extremely frustrating.

I honestly just noticed that this morning while looking for a pic I just snapped. There isn't anything in settings I can see to change it either. Anyone?

Strange, since I saw this thread I went a looked too, I have the same issue. Very strange.
mine is sorted by album. You can change how its sorted by clicking the top left sort option.

The problem I'm referring to is that when it is sorted by album, the albums themselves are not actually sorted (e.g., they're not listed alphabetically). When you have a large number of albums, this makes it very difficult to find the one you're looking for. I didn't have this problem in the stock gallery app in Gingerbread or in Honeycomb.
Only workaround is to use 3rd party app, QuickPic. Works wonders for me. I just can't use the stock gallery.
It seems that Google decided recently to yank the +/- zoom buttons in the Navigation app that would appear briefly when you tapped the screen. This has made using the app much more of a pain for me because I frequently like to have the view slightly zoomed out so it would show road traffic conditions. The pinch method is not a suitable alternative because try as I might, I can't seem to find a way to do this while driving that doesn't "unhinge" the view from following my current position a large percentage of the time because the pinch motion must be completely equal between both fingers.
Am I missing a simple technique to do this?
And before it gets mentioned, the traffic button is not a direct replacement because it zooms WAY out, and I still want to see the close level of detail...

If you hit the menu button in maps, go into settings and choose labs. Inside, there is an option for zoom buttons. Enjoy.

Thanks, but that is ONLY for Maps. I'm talking about Navigation which is what I use in the car (whether I'm actually routing to an address or not). That is its own app that does not have this option unfortunately.
I have the same issue, you are not alone but it seems not many people used this feature I used it more to zoom out a level or 2 so I could overview of side roads in order to manually re-route when driving in congestion..and there's always damn congestion! Pinch zooming isn't practical while driving! Hope they return, but I fear the worst!
You try just tapping the screen to zoom?

Thanks, but that zooms in. If you read what I'm talking about- it's the ability to zoom OUT from the default zoom level. Try doing this while driving, keeping the view "stuck" to your current position, and see how it goes

I'm really surprised this isn't an issue for more people. Regardless, it's such a no brainer to me and unobtrusive to the people that don't care about it.
Feel free to star the bug report I just created to try to get google's attention. (I'm not too optimistic...)

Edit: The first bug was created in the wrong location. Please see this one if you want to star and help get it some attention:

Maybe some time in the future they will include it in Google Labs for navigation as they have done with Google maps?

Unfortunately no. The best I got was a response from a google employee on the support forums that they would forward my request to development. My fingers are crosssed it will make it's way into an update at some point, but who knows...
It was a frustrating exercise in finding the appropriate channels to get my voice heard. I didn't realize that there was no bug-tracking system for google apps, so the two attempts I made to create an actual bug were closed.
Thanks for the swift reply
It's a shame as it spoils the whole app for me.

There's one app that completely turns your phone's camera into a webcam, i had one where the cable had to be connected but now a days might even be wireless. Something like this might work for you. Then have your computer record the webcam feed using a recording software like manycam or Cyberlink or something like that.

You know what, there are a lot of cool apps like the one i posted. here is the entire search list i did on the play sstore.
It's not going to work. Any phone camera won't pick up enough light in the dark to get a clear picture. The easiest way is to buy a webcam and USB extension cord and just use the computer.
Another method is to make a Skype name like dkdhsbj18374 and set it to auto accept video chat. That's for survelliance from a remote location. You can also start the Skype video and use a screen recorder on your PC. Still the quality will be garbage in low light though.

i do appreciate the first set of info u gave. would you happen to remember the app name you were referring to? as for the play store search list thanks but i had already tried that approach only to find so many and it seems as if the user comments never correctly reflect the apps rating. that's why i figured it would be good to ask here and get a more xda-ish recommendation as we seem to hold way higher standards than average joe in the market with a comment like " f#c#kn sucks! Fc on ny G1" or "eh, its ok. best freakin app ever! FTW!" but thanks for your help.

hahah yeah thats true! I blame the market, they dont allow you to type a lot.
But i cant remember the exact name, not to mention the quality was horrible. This was maybe like 4 years ago when i had my Touch pro 2. But i just downloaded DroidCam last night and its freaking awesome. Love the option to have the light on, plus the quality is phenomenal!
Just tested out IPWebcam and its really cool. Best feature: being able to turn screen off and still use it. Its browswer based, you can put the URL into a media player and stream the contents, or you can right click and click save as to record the contents. Live latency is really horrible but might be because of my wifi. But once its recorded its all synced up. Actually am going to use this to see into places i normaly cant, like when working on my car Thanks for having me discover this
Camera and lighting issues aside, iSpy will do time lapse recording on a schedule (very configurable), and it is free so long as you don't need their online features (remote access, sms/email alerts upon motion detection, etc). It has by far the most options of any PC based surveillance software I've found.
So I used the original Note for a long time and I am used to being able to just hit Menu then Edit on photos to crop or write on them. Am I missing something here or does the Note 2 just lack this ability? I used it quite a bit and I would love to know if there is a way to get it back. I thought I could get it from Samsung Apps, but I see that isn't an option on this phone either. I have tried ones from the Play store but none integrate the same functionality and ease of use.
Any one have any ideas?
View the photo your waiting to edit push your s pen button then tap and hold on screen it will take a screen shot of what your viewing and place it into edit mode for drawing.
A downside to the screen shot method though is that it doesn't save the picture in the sam high quality over what the picture was taken in on max settings with the phones camera.
On a side note I also went onto Samsung apps and was able to get the photo editor app to download, not sure why it wasn't letting you Oo

Samsung Apps isn't even installed on the AT&T version. I downloaded it from Samsung and it says limited device support.

Sorry I don't have a direct answer for your question, but I do have a suggestion. I use PicSay(Pro) for all my editing and it's awesome! Of course I have not used others for comparison, as with PicSay I have not needed to look elsewhere. It is super-easy to use as well as share. I think it has a really nice selection of options. I'm not certain what the differences are between free vs paid version but I can tell you the paid is WELL worth it. I think I saw it on sale via Amazon not too long ago, you may be able to catch it again sometime for a cheaper price? If you are not looking for a seperate app then kindly disregard my suggestion. :angel:

Hello, is there a way to capture the full page etc, when taking a screenshot? Tried some apps and they are abysmal at best.
Would like to know too, one of the features I am missing from Oneplus

Have you tried Screenshot Crop & Share: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flextrick.universalcropper
It says it will take scrolling screenshots and more.
Thank you for your help I'll give it a go?
just tried it, and I'm sorry but it's overly complicated for such a simple process. Samsung, htc have this nailed, again thank you
Yeah it's very annoying that an expensive phone like this doesn't have this feature
I wonder if someone could take pity on us and provide a "Tasker" solution to this malady on this mobile ?
Bump
Is already there any solution? Im switching to a 2 xl from an regular s8 and im thinking to go back to a regular s9 because the size and this kind of features
Yeah, one thing I really miss from my Galaxy phones is their screenshot tool. The ability to crop and share in-place, and the scrolling screenshot, is just so helpful. All the third party ones just don't do as good of a job.
I hear that the Markup app in Android P will give us the ability to do in-place editing of screenshots, so that's nice. Maybe they'll add scrolling screenshots, too.
Has this question been answered?
I'm looking for a way to take longer screenshots, Coming from S9+ I miss this option the most!
Just searched "scrolling screenshot" on the Google Play Store.
