Screenshot Taking Manual for Android

Capturing the screen moment is a very popular pastime these days. There are a number of handy apps in the Android market to do that, for example Drocap2, Screen Capture v1.2, Screenshot 1.0 and others. As usual, these apps operate by using hotkeys, voice commands or even shaking the device for screen capture activation. Once done, the picture can be either sent by email from the menu option or saved to SD card. But there is one small detail in this procedure – all these apps need the user to do root access for screen capture. Now if you want to do the operation without it, one good option is to use the Android Development Software (ADS). You will need though to connect the device to the PC via USB, and with only three, but a bit sophisticated steps, you will accomplish the operation. So follow the instructions carefully:

Step 1. Go to the developer website http://developer.android.com and select the SDK tab. Then download the SDK version compatible to your PC’s OS. When the SDK zip file is saved, extract all files and run “SDK Setup.exe.” In case there is a “failed to fetch URL” error notice, close the error window, go to settings and select the box for “force https://…sources to be fetched using http://.” From the bar on the left select “Available packages” and then choose site, packages and archives available on the right that are compatible to the connected phone. Choose install and then accept all.

Step 2. Android USB driver installation. Check to see if the USB debugging is activated under Settings/Applications/Development folder. Connect the smartphone to the PC and allow the phone to enable USB storage. When this is done, the default driver install app will open and find the appropriate driver. In case the correct driver is not installed, cancel all installation operations and manually update the phone from the device manager. The updated driver should be in the USB-Driver, which is in the Android-SDK folder. Select the “include all subfolder and check if the driver does not register any problems in the device manager.”

Step 3. Android Simulator. Go to Tools folder in the Android-SDK and open the folder, run the DDMS file. The simulator for the connected phone will be opened. It can take some time for the menu to load. Select the device menu and then “screen capture.” This should capture what the screen shows at the moment. Use the save button to save the captured shot. The file then is ready to be sent to whomever you want.

The Share of Android and iOS in the World

The 2011 is approaching its finish line and not great analysis is needed to state there are two brand names in the smartphone world occupying top positions: Google Android and Apple’s iOS. To get a more precise picture, Flurry analytics have made a research and found out that from 200 million US smartphone users, the 55 percent (109 million users) own either an Android or an iOS device. As to the percentage these two occupy worldwide, it makes up 41 percent.

China comes second after the US with 35 million Android or iOS users. The UK is the next (17 million users), followed by France, Germany and Japan each with 10 million users. To make the research possible, Flurry has tracked the usage of 140,000 apps over 30 days. Flurry has examined also the ownership of either an Android or an Apple smartphone according to the age or the social class, using country specific data from International Monetary Fund (IMF). And even that is not all, as Flurry also revealed countries most prone to grow as related to the mentioned two brands, and also the most mature markets. All information is presented in a chart form and can be accessed on Flurry’s blog.

This information will be interesting not only for ordinary users, but also for manufactures and carriers, who will now have raw material to adjust their strategies for the upcoming year.

Google Helps You Buy Movie Ticket

Ever improving Google, has this time facilitated the search for movies, movie theaters and start times. This new service works only on iOS and Android handsets. When you do a search for a movie or a movie theater, a small ribbon will appear on the results page where posters of the movies will be displayed. Under the posters there is information about each movie and the movie theater, which currently features it.

The system works very simple (as everything on Google). You have to swipe on film posters in iOS or Android device screen and the information displayed on the poster is changed to reveal even details on the specific title. You can tap on the poster to see the movie trailer, read the reviews available for the movie or look for information as to where you can watch the movie and which the closest theaters to show it are. Speed of operation is also guaranteed, for you do not have to wait until the page loads for each movie you want to see. You can go through several movies quickly until you come across the movie, the details of which interest you. You then have to click the Start times and see additional information on the movie.

And if the movie title is underlined, then you can purchase the ticket directly from your handset, just to save time.

How to Open an SD Card in Windows

An SD (Secure Digital) card is a popular nonvolatile memory card format. Nonvolatile indicates the SD card is getting more popular for retention of nonvolatile information. Nonvolatile means the information is not lost even if there is no electrical power in the card. And this card is slim enough to be a perfect solution if you are thinking to expand your favorite Android smartphone’s memory.

Any Android user can access SD card from a laptop or a desktop PC, but reading SD card on the PC needs an SD card reader app. No problem here since Android has a connecting interface for the PC and the card. This process of connecting is called mounting and has the following easy steps to work on any version of Windows:

How to connect (mount) the SD card

Step 1. Use USB to connect the Android smartphone to the PC. The phone should display “USB” connected message in the top-left side of the screen (no special drivers are necessary for this).

Step 2. Click on the notification icon and then on “USB connected” bar. A message will appear “Select “Mount” if you want to copy files between your computer and your phone’s SD card.” Click the Mount on the screen.

How to browse a mounted Android SD Card

After connecting the Android device to the computer, the phone will appear in Windows as a simple “Removable Disk.” The name of the driver is not important since it will be different in different configurations. Usually the SD card will be under the name E.

How to copy/delete files on SD card

This procedure works as an ordinary Windows procedure of copy/paste, drop/paste and delete.

How to disconnect (unmount) the SD card from PS

Attention: After finishing your work, be careful to follow the unmounting procedure, otherwise your information on the card can become corrupted.

Step 1: Find the corresponding drive (which is your Android phone) in Windows Explorer, right click on it and choose “Eject” (similar to disconnecting a USB card).

Step 2. On the phone itself, choose “Turn off USB usage,” and that’s all. Ready.
