Help cliq xt android 2.1?

I would be so stoked if 2.1 offered either some sort of a built-in feature or an app to take screenshots. All the screenshot apps on the market require the phone to be rooted, and the thought of tampering with it like that makes me uneasy.

I seen a link to an app on either MOTO's board or T-Mo's that allowed you to do screen shots. It doesn't require you to root your phone either. I think it was just a desktop executeable and was real easy to use. I'll have to look for that thing again.

Thanks yo :). I searched around and found this: How To Capture Screenshots With Your Android Mobile Phone

The programs you'd have to install look like their made only for a Windows PC but I'll see if it'll work on my Mac later. The only Windows computers I have at home are super slow with very little space, and according to one of the comments on that site, the SDK components take up over 1GB worth of space.

If Android just had some sort of a built-in feature that snagged screenshots and had it automatically saved to the gallery, I'd be very happy. :)
 
Anyone else beginning to grow impatient for that 2.1 update? I noticed the Eris owners just got theirs a day or two ago, but a few are complaining about some of the changes.

I was satisfied with 1.6 on my MyTouch, but curiosity continues to kill me on what 2.1 will have to offer.
 
ahh, god! now 2.2 (froyo) was announced, and we'll be waiting for that update FOREVER. will this impatience never end? do you think the cliq xt will ever get a taste of that froyo goodness? at least without a root? i'm seriously running circles waiting for the 2.1 update, i need it, I REALLY NEED IT. im even looking to buy a different phone because it's taking motorola so effing long to put out these updates. i mean, we're still languishing in 1.5! its embarrassing! i have to use this thing in public?!?! any know if xt was rooted? link?
 
Aw man! 2.2 supports wifi tethering for up to 8 devices and is 450% faster than 2.1???!! Forget 2.1, I want 2.2 now!! haha (yet another impatient person added to the forums...) :-P
 
Someone on the moto boards was whining that the update was moved to July, but I have not seen any documentation on this being the case. But nobody from moto disputed it....

Yah, unfortunately I've seen rumblings along that line myself. I was more than willing to give them their full 3 months but dragging it out longer is NOT going to make me happy. I've been discovering things I'd really like to have that I can't get with 1.5. I don't have any particular complaints about my phone, just that I want these new features - sooner rather than later. They're getting on my last nerve now. :(

Agreed, and it's made worse by the fact that I've been playing with the new MyTouch Slide... and though I hate phones with physical keypads, I LOVE how 2.1 operates!

The anticipation is overwhelming, the delivery however-- quite underwhelming. :(
 
Okay, sorry to bump the thread with more useless replies but DAYUM. I've grown so beyond impatient that I don't even care anymore if the update comes on time. If anything, I think I'd rather prefer skipping 2.1 and having us go straight to the 2.2 FroYo update, which is rumored to be the case at the moment. What do you guys think?
 
I think with that mentality we will never get an upgrade since there is always going to be something better coming out

i guarantee it will not be froyo. it will be 2.1 and if they can't get it right before september then it won't be until 2011, as they are not going to upgrade your current model at the time of year when they make the most money on selling NEW models. sorry guys, but it's obvious we're getting the run-a-round - the xt was doomed from the start.

I'd say go ahead and start shopping other models that are preloaded with froyo or 2.1 (whichever you prefer) - just make sure it's not motorola, cause when froyo is yesterday's news, you'll be right back in the same boat you're in now...sitting, waiting, and wishing.
 
Could we please site a source for this info? Was it something that you heard or read? It would be good to see it in print somewhere, LOL. The Roadmap is unclear but it, too looks like a mid-August drop. If you have a source, it would be great if you could share it with us!
 
About one week till mid-august and I have a bad feeling that we ain't getting 2.1

I am seriously disappointed with this phone, seems like it slows down every day more little by little. hopefully 2.1 will change this.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if mid-August was when they were going to announce the release of 2.1 rather than just rolling it out. But I think if they knew they were going to give it to us by then, they'd announce it by now since it's right around the corner...

Then again I wouldn't be surprised either if 2.1 doesn't even come out this month for us.
