How to Take Screen Captures of Your Handset


by ebentley


With an External Program

Use this great program called Msnap 0.2a. Make sure the cable is firmly seated in the phone or the program won't launch. I've found that if you want to take successive screen captures that you need to disconnect and reconnect the cable after each capture and re-start MSnap. It saves the file in .png format to whatever folder you have the MSnap executable in. You can then convert them to either .gifs or .jpg files as desired.

How-To:

? Plug your handset into your computer
? Be sure to display whatever image you want captured before you start MSnap
? Start MSnap and click the "capture" button
? As the screen is captured, you will see the visual progress in MSnaps? window. MSnap will look like it?s not capturing the entire screen, but it is. The graphic below shows MSnap at work


When the screen capture is complete, look in the folder where you told MSnap to download the screenshot or if you haven't selected a download location, look in same folder as the MSnap executable file and you?ll see a graphic file named ?screenN.png (N being a number). Example Screen1.png. As long as you execute the program from the same location, it will increase the number every time you capture an image. If you move the MSnap executable to another folder, it will restart the numbering. You can convert the .png file to other file formats and post the images on the forums.
