FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. 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 Camerakey.

Note that not all devices might support the shortcut keys. There are simply too many devices out there that I cannot test the application on every single devices.

2. 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 <#>+<*>.

3.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.

4. How can I install the unsigned version?

Symbian OS requires application to be signed before it can be installed to the device. You can sign it using Symbian Signed OR Read How to install unsiged applications, You need the IMEI number of your device and a valid email address.
