Help ScreenCaptureService

[droid newb]

Every now and then I get a text popup on my screen that reads, "screen capture sent to SD card" and sure enough when I look on my SD card there will be a fuzzy, grainy screen capture in a folder. I don't know how this happens or why they're so crappy looking, but if this is something I can use and get clean screen caps I'd love to use it!

Anyway, at the Sprint store the techiest of the techs said they had no idea how this happens. I just looked into what's running on my phone and there is something called ScreenCaptureService. Does anyone know what this is?

My phone is not rooted and I did not install this...it is on the phone right out of the box.

Path: Settings >> Applications >> Running Services

TIA!

Mine has done this before too! The exact way you described has happened to me. I found the ScreenCaptureService in my batterysaver program.

I would assume since this phone is capable of screen capture, we just need a program to tap into that!

I use Juice Defender...is that what you use?

AGBandit, is that the full name of that app? I can't find it in the marketplace, and based on your results, I'd like to try it.

It's been rumored that it was put there to take a picture of a crash when something fails on the phone but no one knows for sure...the screen captures all seem useless as far as images go.
