Frequently Asked Quetions

1. Can I distribute Screenshot for Symbian OS?

Screenshot for Symbian OS is distributed under GPL (General Public License). It means you can distribute the application as long as you don't change the license. Although not required, a link to my web site would be very appreciated. :)

2. How do I capture screenshots?

You can use the shortcut to capture screenshot. In the old version (pre v3.x), the default shortcut is <Edit>+<OK>. In the new version (v3.x), the default shortcut is the Camera key.

3. What is the <Edit> key?

The <Edit> key is sometimes called <Shift> key or <Pencil> key. Some newer S60 devices do not have this key any more. If your device does not have <Edit> key, please use another shortcut, such as <#>+<*>.

4.Why Camera key does not capture screenshot on N82 and N95 European version (and possibly some other models)?

If your camera has lens cover, then you need to open it;
otherwise the Camera key won't be detected by Screenshot application.
Unfortunately, it is the way S60 works. Alternatively, you can also
choose other shortcuts.

5. How can I install the unsigned version?

Symbian OS v9 requires application to be signed before it can be installed to the device. You can sign it using Symbian Signed. Go to http://www.symbiansigned.com, and select Open Signed Online. You need the IMEI number of your device and a valid email address. When the system asks for capabilities, just select all of them.

6. Why don't you charge money for this application?

Simple answer, I want to contribute my knowledge to the Symbian OS community. However, if you would like to give donation to the development of Screenshot for Symbian OS, I would really appreciate it. Use the link below to give your donation.
