I've seen a few guides around that show that people are able to capture screenshots of their phone using the Android SDK tool 'ddms'. I personally haven't been able to accomplish this successfully. I've tried it on 5 different computers running Windows XP Pro, and also with Windows Vista Business and Windows 7 Pro. Each time I'm met with the following:
Phone is recognized in ddms. I try to capture the screen, the screenshot box comes up and says "screen is not available". The ddms console window shows "W/ddms: got partial reply from ADB fb:" and then dumps a bunch of zeros on the next line (HEX patterns I believe). I KNOW some of you have been able to capture screens with the Sprint HTC Hero. If that's the case, let's see some information here to try and troubleshoot this. Post operating systems, SDK versions, java versions, and maybe any identifying things about your HTC Hero (Evdo Rev. A or 0? I don't think it'd matter though). Here are a few things I've tried: 1. Several different computers. 2. All 3 32-bit Windows Operating Systems. 3. Rebooting the phone while connected to the PC. 4. Removing the HTC USB driver and installing the one included with the SDK. 5. Factory resetting my phone (in case an app was causing a problem). I really want to see if this is a common issue. App developers need to be able to make these kinds of screen captures, and so do people who run websites and perform other types of press work. I know there are a few programs out there that screen capture if you root your device. I haven't really found a reliable guide for rooting the Hero and I would prefer not to void a warranty here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
